Autophagic degradation of SQSTM1 inhibits ovarian cancer motility by decreasing DICER1 and AGO2 to induce MIRLET7A-3P.

ABSTRACT: The relationship between macroautophagy/autophagy and miRNA in regulating cancer cell motility is not clearly delineated. Here, we found that induction of BECN1-dependent or -independent autophagy decreased ubiquitin-binding proteins SQSTM1/p62 and CALCOCO2/NDP52. Downregulation of SQSTM1 (but not CALCOCO2) led to a decrease of the miRNA-processing enzyme DICER1 and the miRNA effector AGO2. The autophagy-mediated reduction of levels of SQSTM1, DICER1 or AGO2 resulted in increased MIRLET7A-3P (but not MIRLET7A-5P or PRE-MIRLET7A miRNA) and suppressed ovarian cancer motility. The investigation of the MIRLET7A effects on cancer cell motility showed that synthetic MIRLET7A-3P (3 nM) inhibited, whereas MIRLET7A-5P (100 nM) increased cancer cell motility. Moreover, downregulation of MIRLET7A-3P with antisense of MIRLET7A-3P miRNA (MIRLET7A-3P inhibitor; 3 nM) reversed the nutrient depletion- and rVP1-mediated suppression of ovarian cancer cell motility. In addition, restoring SQSTM1, DICER1 and AGO2 with inhibition of autophagic degradation or overexpression of DICER1 and AGO2 reversed the autophagy-associated enhancement of MIRLET7A-3P and inhibition of motility. Examination of ovarian cancer tissue microarray further showed that the levels of SQSTM1, DICER1 and AGO2 in the tumor were higher than those in the non-tumor cells and negatively correlated with the levels of autophagy and MIRLET7A-3P. Our results demonstrated that induction of autophagy to decrease SQSTM1, DICER1 and AGO2 and increase MIRLET7A-3P is a potential therapeutic strategy for suppressing ovarian cancer cell motility.

Project description:Iron metabolism is involved in numerous physiological processes such as erythropoiesis, oxidative metabolism. However, the in vivo physiological functions of the iron metabolism-related gene Hfe in immune response during viral infection remain poorly understood. Here, we identified 5 iron metabolism-associated genes specifically affected during RNA virus infection by a high-throughput assay and further found that HFE was a key negative regulator of RIG-I-like receptors (RLR)-mediated type I interferons (IFNs) signaling. RNA virus infection inhibited the binding of HFE to MAVS (mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein) and blocked MAVS degradation via selective autophagy. HFE mediated MAVS autophagic degradation by binding to SQSTM1/p62. Depletion of Hfe abrogated the autophagic degradation of MAVS, leading to the stronger antiviral immune response. These findings established a novel regulatory role of selective autophagy in innate antiviral immune response by the iron metabolism-related gene Hfe. These data further provided insights into the crosstalk among iron metabolism, autophagy, and innate immune response.Abbreviations: ATG: autophagy-related; BAL: bronchoalveolar lavage fluid; BMDMs: bone marrow-derived macrophages; CGAS: cyclic GMP-AMP synthase; CQ: chloroquine; Dpi: days post-infection; ELISA: enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay; GFP: green fluorescent protein; HAMP: hepcidin antimicrobial peptide; Hpi: hours post-infection; HJV: hemojuvelin BMP co-receptor; IFNs: interferons; IL6: interleukin 6; IRF3: interferon regulatory factor 3; ISRE: interferon-stimulated response element; Lipo: clodronate liposomes; MAP1LC3B/LC3B: microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 beta; MAVS: mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein; MEFs: mouse embryonic fibroblasts; SLC40A1/FPN1: solute carrier family 40 (iron-regulated transporter), member 1; flatiron; SQSTM1/p62: sequestosome 1; STAT1: signal transducer and activator of transcription 1; STING1/STING: stimulator of interferon response cGAMP interactor 1; TBK1: TANK-binding kinase 1; TFRC/TfR1: transferrin receptor; TNF/TNFα: tumor necrosis factor; WT: wild type.

Project description:Lipotoxicity, induced by saturated fatty acid (SFA)-mediated cell death, plays an important role in the pathogenesis of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The KEAP1 (kelch like ECH associated protein 1)-NFE2L2/NRF2 (nuclear factor, erythroid 2 like 2) pathway is a pivotal defense mechanism against lipotoxicity. We previously reported that SQSTM1/p62 has a cytoprotective role against lipotoxicity through activation of the noncanonical KEAP1- NFE2L2 pathway in hepatocytes. However, the underlying mechanisms and physiological relevance of this pathway have not been clearly defined. Here, we demonstrate that NFE2L2-mediated induction of SQSTM1 activates the noncanonical KEAP1-NFE2L2 pathway under lipotoxic conditions. Furthermore, we identified that SQSTM1 induces ULK1 (unc-51 like autophagy activating kinase 1) phosphorylation by facilitating the interaction between AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase) and ULK1, leading to macroautophagy/autophagy induction, followed by KEAP1 degradation and NFE2L2 activation. Accordingly, the activity of this SQSTM1-mediated noncanonical KEAP1-NFE2L2 pathway conferred hepatoprotection against lipotoxicity in the livers of conventional sqstm1- and liver-specific sqstm1-knockout mice. Moreover, this pathway activity was evident in the livers of patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver. This axis could thus represent a novel target for NAFLD treatment.
