SIRT3 overexpression and epigenetic silencing of catalase regulate ROS accumulation in CLL cells activating AXL signaling axis.

ABSTRACT: Mitochondrial metabolism is the key source for abundant ROS in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cells. Here, we detected significantly lower superoxide anion (O₂^-) levels with increased accumulation of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) in CLL cells vs. normal B-cells. Further analysis indicated that mitochondrial superoxide dismutase (SOD)2, which converts O₂^- into H₂O₂ remained deacetylated in CLL cells due to SIRT3 overexpression resulting its constitutive activation. In addition, catalase expression was also reduced in CLL cells suggesting impairment of H₂O₂-conversion into water and O₂ which may cause H₂O₂-accumulation. Importantly, we identified two CpG-islands in the catalase promoter and discovered that while the distal CpG-island (-3619 to -3765) remained methylated in both normal B-cells and CLL cells, variable degrees of methylation were discernible in the proximal CpG-island (-174 to -332) only in CLL cells. Finally, treatment of CLL cells with a demethylating agent increased catalase mRNA levels. Functionally, ROS accumulation in CLL cells activated the AXL survival axis while upregulated SIRT3, suggesting that CLL cells rapidly remove highly reactive O₂^- to avoid its cytotoxic effect but maintain increased H₂O₂-level to promote cell survival. Therefore, abrogation of aberrantly activated cell survival pathways using antioxidants can be an effective intervention in CLL therapy in combination with conventional agents.

Project description:BackgroundIntestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury occurs in acute intestinal obstruction, intussusception, acute mesenteric artery embolism, and other diseases and can lead to local intestinal necrosis, distant organ involvement, or systemic reactions, with high morbidity and mortality. Ferroptosis plays a crucial role in intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury, and inhibition of ferroptosis may provide new approaches for treating the disease. SIRT3 protects cells from oxidative stress and may be involved in the process of ferroptosis. We hypothesized that resveratrol, an agonist of SIRT3, could ameliorate intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury by compensating the GSH/GPX4 pathway.MethodsIntestinal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) and Caco-2 hypoxia-reoxygenation models were established. Transmission electron microscopy was used to assess mitochondrial function; the Chiu's score was used to evaluate the degree of intestinal mucosal injury based on HE staining; and Western blot was used to detect the SIRT3/FoxO3a pathway, tight junction proteins and ferroptosis-related protein expression. Sirt3-/- C57, shSIRT3-Caco-2 cells and siFoxO3a-Caco-2 cells were established. C11-BODIPY was used to detect lipid peroxide in cells; FD4 and IFABP were used to detect intestinal permeability; MitoSOX was used to detect ROS levels; and MitoTracker and immunofluorescence colocalization were used to detect SIRT3 levels.ResultsIn the intestinal I/R model, I/R injury occurs mainly during the reperfusion period and leads to ferroptosis through the GSH/GPX4 pathway. Resveratrol could reduce ferroptosis and ameliorate I/R injury by activating SIRT3. In Sirt3-/- mice, more intestinal mucosal cells underwent ferroptosis, I/R injury was more severe, and resveratrol lost the ability to ameliorate I/R injury. In addition, hypoxia-reoxygenation increased RSL3-induced ferroptosis sensitivity in Caco-2 cells in vitro. In the presence of shSIRT3 or RSL3 alone, resveratrol could ameliorate Caco-2 ferroptosis, but not RSL3-induced shSIRT3-Caco-2 ferroptosis. Furthermore, resveratrol might activate the SIRT3/FoxO3a pathway, increase the expression of SOD2 and catalase, and inhibit ROS generation, thus reducing lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis.ConclusionTo date, this is the first study to show that resveratrol ameliorates intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury by activating SIRT3 and reducing ferroptosis. Resveratrol can reduce intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury by activating the SIRT3/FoxO3a pathway, increasing the expression of SOD2 and catalase, reducing ROS and LPO production, compensating for the GSH/GPX4 pathway and inhibiting ferroptosis. Resveratrol increases the expression of SOD2 and catalase, reduces the production of ROS and LPO, compensates for the GSH/GPX4 pathway and inhibits ferroptosis by activating the SIRT3/FoxO3a pathway.
