Figure Lengend Snippet: Under Glc starvation, collagen I promoted α2β1 integrin-dependent mTORCI activation in breast and pancreatic cancer cells. Collagen I also increased the membrane levels of the LAT1-4F2hc amino acid transporter heavy chain, SLC3A2 (3A2), and light chain, SLC7A5 (7A5), stimulating amino acid import. This resulted in mTORCI activation and autophagy inhibition, leading to increased survival, proliferation and invasion, in 2D and 3C contexts.

Mice were divided into four groups, NC + vehivel, SLC7A5 + vehivel, NC + lue and SLC7A5 + leu. Once the tumors reached a volume of 50 mm³, each group was randomly divided into control and treatment subgroups. The treatment subgroup received olaparib every other day for a total of eight doses at 25 mg/kg. In accordance with animal ethics, mice were euthanized when tumor volumes reached 1000 mm³, which was recorded as the endpoint for survival. The median survival times were as follows. 40 days for the NC + vehivel group, 42.5 days for the NC + leu group, 20 days for the SLC7A5 + vehivel group, 17.5 days for the SLC7A5 + lue group (n = 10).
