We found that Fn is prevalent in the tumor tissue of patients with NPC and is associated with radioresistance. Fn invaded and proliferated inside NPC cells and aggravated tumor progression. Mechanistically, Fn slowed mitochondrial dysfunction by promoting mitochondrial fusion and decreasing ROS generation, preventing radiation-induced oxidative damage. Fn inhibited PANoptosis by the SLC7A5/leucine-mTORC1 axis during irradiation stress, thus promoting radioresistance. Treatment with the mitochondria-targeted antibiotics or dietary restriction of leucine reduced intratumoral Fn load, resensitizing tumors to radiotherapy in vivo.
