P53 Suppresses Metabolic Stress-Induced Ferroptosis in Cancer Cells.

ABSTRACT: How cancer cells respond to nutrient deprivation remains poorly understood. In certain cancer cells, deprivation of cystine induces a non-apoptotic, iron-dependent form of cell death termed ferroptosis. Recent evidence suggests that ferroptosis sensitivity may be modulated by the stress-responsive transcription factor and canonical tumor suppressor protein p53. Using CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing, small-molecule probes, and high-resolution, time-lapse imaging, we find that stabilization of wild-type p53 delays the onset of ferroptosis in response to cystine deprivation. This delay requires the p53 transcriptional target CDKN1A (encoding p21) and is associated with both slower depletion of intracellular glutathione and a reduced accumulation of toxic lipid-reactive oxygen species (ROS). Thus, the p53-p21 axis may help cancer cells cope with metabolic stress induced by cystine deprivation by delaying the onset of non-apoptotic cell death.

Serine starvation induces stress and p53-dependent metabolic remodelling in cancer cells.

Project description:Cancer cells acquire distinct metabolic adaptations to survive stress associated with tumour growth and to satisfy the anabolic demands of proliferation. The tumour suppressor protein p53 (also known as TP53) influences a range of cellular metabolic processes, including glycolysis, oxidative phosphorylation, glutaminolysis and anti-oxidant response. In contrast to its role in promoting apoptosis during DNA-damaging stress, p53 can promote cell survival during metabolic stress, a function that may contribute not only to tumour suppression but also to non-cancer-associated functions of p53. Here we show that human cancer cells rapidly use exogenous serine and that serine deprivation triggered activation of the serine synthesis pathway and rapidly suppressed aerobic glycolysis, resulting in an increased flux to the tricarboxylic acid cycle. Transient p53-p21 (also known as CDKN1A) activation and cell-cycle arrest promoted cell survival by efficiently channelling depleted serine stores to glutathione synthesis, thus preserving cellular anti-oxidant capacity. Cells lacking p53 failed to complete the response to serine depletion, resulting in oxidative stress, reduced viability and severely impaired proliferation. The role of p53 in supporting cancer cell proliferation under serine starvation was translated to an in vivo model, indicating that serine depletion has a potential role in the treatment of p53-deficient tumours.

Loss of p53 suppresses replication-stress-induced DNA breakage in G1/S checkpoint deficient cells.

Project description:In cancer cells, loss of G1/S control is often accompanied by p53 pathway inactivation, the latter usually rationalized as a necessity for suppressing cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. However, we found an unanticipated effect of p53 loss in mouse and human G1-checkpoint-deficient cells: reduction of DNA damage. We show that abrogation of the G1/S-checkpoint allowed cells to enter S-phase under growth-restricting conditions at the expense of severe replication stress manifesting as decelerated DNA replication, reduced origin firing and accumulation of DNA double-strand breaks. In this system, loss of p53 allowed mitogen-independent proliferation, not by suppressing apoptosis, but rather by restoring origin firing and reducing DNA breakage. Loss of G1/S control also caused DNA damage and activation of p53 in an in vivo retinoblastoma model. Moreover, in a teratoma model, loss of p53 reduced DNA breakage. Thus, loss of p53 may promote growth of incipient cancer cells by reducing replication-stress-induced DNA damage.

Aurora kinase a suppresses metabolic stress-induced autophagic cell death by activating mTOR signaling in breast cancer cells.

Project description:Aberrant Aur-A signaling is associated with tumor malignant behaviors. However, its involvement in tumor metabolic stress is not fully elucidated. In the present study, prolonged nutrient deprivation was conducted into breast cancer cells to mimic metabolic stress in tumors. In these cells, autophagy was induced, leading to caspase-independent cell death, which was blocked by either targeted knockdown of autophagic gene ATG5 or autophagy inhibitor 3-Methyladenine (3-MA). Aur-A overexpression mediated resistance to autophagic cell death and promoted breast cancer cells survival when exposed to metabolic stress. Moreover, we provided evidence that Aur-A suppressed autophagy in a kinase-dependent manner. Furthermore, we revealed that Aur-A overexpression enhanced the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) activity under metabolic stress by inhibiting glycogen synthase kinase 3? (GSK3?). Inhibition of mTOR activity by rapamycin sensitized Aur-A-overexpressed breast cancer cells to metabolic stress-induced cell death. Consistently, we presented an inverse correlation between Aur-A expression (high) and autophagic levels (low) in clinical breast cancer samples. In conclusion, our data provided a novel insight into the cyto-protective role of Aur-A against metabolic stress by suppressing autophagic cell death, which might help to develop alternative cell death avenues for breast cancer therapy.

Triptolide-Assisted Phosphorylation of p53 Suppresses Inflammation-Induced NF-?B Survival Pathways in Cancer Cells.

Project description:Chronic inflammation plays important roles in cancer initiation and progression. Resolving chronic inflammation or blocking inflammatory signal transduction may prevent cancer development. Here, we report that the combined low-dose use of two anti-inflammatory drugs, aspirin and triptolide, reduces spontaneous lung cancer incidence from 70% to 10% in a mouse model. Subsequent studies reveal that such treatment has little effect on resolving chronic inflammatory conditions in the lung, but it significantly blocks the NF-?B-mediated expression of proliferation and survival genes in cancer cells. Furthermore, triptolide and aspirin induce distinct mechanisms to potentiate each other to block NF-?B nuclear localization stimulated by inflammatory cytokines. While aspirin directly inhibits I?B kinases (IKKs) to phosphorylate I?B? for NF-?B activation, triptolide does not directly target IKKs or other factors that mediate IKK activation. Instead, it requires p53 to inhibit I?B? phosphorylation and degradation. Triptolide binds to and activates p38? and extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2), which phosphorylate and stabilize p53. Subsequently, p53 competes with I?B? for substrate binding to IKK? and thereby blocks I?B? phosphorylation and NF-?B nuclear translocation. Inhibition of p38? and ERK1/2 or p53 mutations could abolish the inhibitory effects of triptolide on NF-?B. Our study defines a new p53-dependent mechanism for blocking NF-?B survival pathways in cancer cells.

SUFU suppresses ferroptosis sensitivity in breast cancer cells via Hippo/YAP pathway.

Project description:Ferroptosis is a new kind of regulated cell death that is characterized by highly iron-dependent lipid peroxidation. Cancer cells differ in their sensitivity to ferroptosis. Here we showed that the Suppressor of fused homolog (SUFU), a critical component in Hedgehog signaling, regulates ferroptosis sensitivity of breast cancer cells. Ectopic SUFU expression suppressed, whereas depletion of SUFU enhanced the sensitivity of breast cancer cells to RSL3-triggered ferroptosis through deregulation of ACSL4. Moreover, SUFU depletion promoted the activation of Yes-associated protein (YAP), thereby increasing the expression of ACSL4. Mechanistically, SUFU is associated with LATS1. Deletion of a region comprising residues 174-385 in SUFU disrupted SUFU binding to LATS1, thus abrogating SUFU-mediated downregulation of the YAP-ACSL4 axis and sensitivity to ferroptosis. Noteworthy, we showed that vincristine downregulated SUFU, thus increasing breast cancer cell sensitivity to RSL3 in vitro and in vivo. Together, our findings uncover SUFU as a novel regulator in ferroptosis sensitivity.

Loss of p53 suppresses replication stress-induced DNA damage in ATRX-deficient neuroblastoma.

Project description:Genetic aberrations are present in the ATRX gene in older high-risk neuroblastoma (NB) patients with very poor clinical outcomes. Its loss-of-function (LoF) facilitates the alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT) pathway in tumor cells and is strongly linked to replication stress (RS) and DNA damage through G-quadruplex (G4) DNA secondary structures. However, limited information is available on ATRX alteration-related NB tumorigenesis. We herein knocked out (KO) ATRX in MYCN-amplified (NGP) and MYCN single copy (SK-N-AS) NB cells with wild-type (wt) and truncated TP53 at the C terminus, respectively, using CRISPR/Cas9 technologies. The loss of ATRX increased DNA damage and G4 formation related to RS in TP53 wt isogenic ATRX KO NGP cells, but not in SK-N-AS clones. A gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) showed that the gene sets related to DNA double-strand break repair, negative cell cycle regulation, the G2M checkpoint, and p53 pathway activation were enriched in NGP clones. The accumulation of DNA damage activated the ATM/CHK2/p53 pathway, leading to cell cycle arrest in NGP clones. Interestingly, ATRX loss did not induce RS related to DNA damage response (DDR) in TP53-truncated SK-N-AS cells. p53 inactivation abrogated cell cycle arrest and reduced G4 accumulation in NGP clones. The loss of p53 also induced G4 DNA helicases or Fanconi anemia group D2 protein (FANCD2) with ATRX deficiency, suggesting that ATRX maintained genome integrity and p53 deficiency attenuated RS-induced DNA damage in NB cells featuring inactivated ATRX by regulating DNA repair mechanisms and replication fork stability.

p53: A Regulator of Ferroptosis Induced by Galectin-1 Derived Peptide 3 in MH7A Cells.

Project description:Backgrounds: Rheumatoid arthritis synovial fibroblasts (RASFs) are the primary cells responsible for destruction of marginal cartilage in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). G1dP3, a bioactive peptide derived from galectin-1 domain, possesses potent anti-inflammatory and anti-proliferation properties in RASFs. This study aimed to determine the effects of G1dP3 ferroptosis induction in RASFs and to further clarify the possible mechanisms. Methods: TNF-α was used to establish a RA model in MH7A cells. Cell Counting Kit-8 assays were employed to detect MH7A cell viability with different treatments. The occurrence of ferroptosis was examined by Lipid ROS assay, cellular labile iron pool measurement, reduced glutathione/oxidized glutathione activity, Gpx4 expression and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) morphology observation. Lentiviral-mediated siRNA interference was used to determine the downstream pathway. Results: G1dP3 markedly suppressed MH7A cell viability induced by TNF-α. G1dP3-treated MH7A cells presented the morphological features of ferroptosis. Moreover, G1dP3 triggered ferroptosis in MH7A cells by promoting the accumulation of lipid peroxides as well as iron deposition. Inhibition of ferroptosis alleviated G1dP3-mediated suppression of MH7A cell viability. Furthermore, G1dP3 increased p53 expression, which in turn transcriptionally suppressed SLC7A11, a key component of system Xc - essential for ferroptosis. Knockdown of p53 abrogated the ferroptotic effects of G1dP3 on MH7A cells. Conclusion: Our findings reveal that the bioactive peptide G1dP3 promotes RASFs ferroptosis cell death via a p53/SLC7A11 axis-dependent mechanism, suggesting its potential role in the treatment of RA.

Curcumin suppresses tumorigenesis by ferroptosis in breast cancer.

Project description:Breast cancer (BC) is one of the most common malignant tumors found in females. Previous studies have demonstrated that curcumin, which is a type of polyphenol compound extracted from Curcuma longa underground rhizome, is able to inhibit the survival of cancer cells. However, the functional role and mechanism of curcumin in BC are still unclear. The Cell Counting Kit-8 assay was performed to examine the effects of curcumin on cell viability in the BC cell lines MDA-MB-453 and MCF-7. The levels of lipid reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde (MDA) production, and intracellular Fe2+ were determined to assess the effects of curcumin on cell ferroptosis. Western blot analysis was also carried out to detect the protein levels. Finally, the antitumorigenic effect of curcumin on BC was identified in a xenograft tumor model. In the present study, the results indicated that curcumin could dose-dependently suppress the viability of both MDA-MB-453 and MCF-7 cells. Further studies revealed that curcumin facilitated solute carrier family 1 member 5 (SLC1A5)-mediated ferroptosis in both MDA-MB-453 and MCF-7 cells by enhancing lipid ROS levels, lipid peroxidation end-product MDA accumulation, and intracellular Fe2+ levels. In vivo experiments demonstrated that curcumin could significantly hamper tumor growth. Collectively, the results demonstrated that curcumin exhibited antitumorigenic activity in BC by promoting SLC1A5-mediated ferroptosis, which suggests its use as a potential therapeutic agent for the treatment of BC.

Cytoglobin promotes sensitivity to ferroptosis by regulating p53-YAP1 axis in colon cancer cells.

Project description:Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent mode of non-apoptotic cell death characterized by accumulation of lipid reactive oxygen species (ROS). As a regulator of ROS, cytoglobin (CYGB) plays an important role in oxygen homeostasis and acts as a tumour suppressor. However, the mechanism by which CYGB regulates cell death is largely unknown. Here, we show that CYGB overexpression increased ROS accumulation and disrupted mitochondrial function as determined by the oxygen consumption rate and membrane potential. Importantly, ferroptotic features with accumulated lipid ROS and malondialdehyde were observed in CYGB-overexpressing colorectal cancer cells. Moreover, CYGB significantly increased the sensitivity of cancer cells to RSL3- and erastin-induced ferroptotic cell death. Mechanically, both YAP1 and p53 were significantly increased based on the RNA sequencing. The knock-down of YAP1 alleviated production of lipid ROS and sensitivity to ferroptosis in CYGB overexpressed cells. Furthermore, YAP1 was identified to be inhibited by p53 knock-down. Finally, high expression level of CYGB had the close correlation with key genes YAP1 and ACSL4 in ferroptosis pathway in colon cancer based on analysis from TCGA data. Collectively, our results demonstrated a novel tumour suppressor role of CYGB through p53-YAP1 axis in regulating ferroptosis and suggested a potential therapeutic approach for colon cancer.
