  text: Solute carriers are increasingly recognized as participating in a plethora
    of pathologies, including cancer. We describe here the involvement of the orphan
    solute carrier MFSD1 in the regulation of tumor cell migration. Loss of MFSD1
    enabled higher levels of metastasis in a mouse model. We identified an increased
    migratory potential in MFSD1-/- tumor cells which was mediated by increased focal
    adhesion turn-over, reduced stability of mature inactive β1 integrin, and the
    resulting increased integrin activation index. We show that MFSD1 promoted recycling
    to the cell surface of endocytosed inactive β1 integrin and thereby protected
    β1 integrin from proteolytic degradation; this led to dampening of the integrin
    activation index. Furthermore, down-regulation of MFSD1 expression was observed
    during early steps of tumorigenesis and higher MFSD1 expression levels correlate
    with a better cancer patient prognosis. In sum, we describe a requirement for
    endolysosomal MFSD1 in efficient β1 integrin recycling to suppress tumor spread.
