Estrogen-related receptors are targetable ROS sensors

ABSTRACT: Excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) can cause oxidative stress and consequently cell injury contributing to a wide range of diseases. Addressing the critical gaps in our understanding of the adaptive molecular events downstream ROS provocation holds promise for the identification of druggable metabolic vulnerabilities. Herein, we unveil a direct molecular link between the activity of two estrogen-related receptor (ERR) isoforms and the control of glutamine utilization and glutathione antioxidant production. ERRα downregulation restricts glutamine entry into the TCA cycle while ERRγ upregulation promotes glutamine-driven glutathione production. Notably, we identify increased ERRγ expression/activation as a hallmark of oxidative stress triggered by mitochondrial disruption or chemotherapy. Enhanced tumor antioxidant capacity is an underlying feature of human breast cancer (BCa) patients that respond poorly to treatment. We demonstrate that pharmacological inhibition of ERRγ with the selective inverse agonist GSK5182 increases antitumor efficacy of the chemotherapeutic paclitaxel on poor outcome BCa tumor organoids. Our findings thus underscore the ERRs as novel redox sensors and effectors of a ROS defense program and highlight the potential therapeutic advantage of exploiting ERRγ inhibitors for the treatment of BCa and other diseases where oxidative stress plays a central role. In this study, ERRγ ChIP-seq analysis was performed under normal conditions in the breast cancer cell line BT-474.

Project description:Vitamin B-6, folate and homocysteine may play a critical role in the colorectal cancer progression. This is a 4-y study and the specific aims are: 1) to compare vitamin B-6, folate and homocysteine status, oxidative stress, antioxidant activities and DNA methylation between subjects with colorectal polyps and colorectal cancer; 2) to study the effects of vitamin B-6, folate and homocysteine status on oxidative stress, antioxidant activities and DNA methylation in colorectal cancer patients; 3) to evaluate whether folic acid and/or pyridoxine supplementation had a beneficial effect on oxidative stress, antioxidant activities and DNA methylation in patients with colorectal; 4) to compare vitamin B-6, folate and homocysteine status, oxidative stress, antioxidant activities and DNA methylation between colorectal cancer patients and age-, sex-matched healthy subjects; 5) to evaluate the effect of vitamin B-6, folate and homocysteine status, oxidative stress, antioxidant activities and DNA methylation on the risk of colorectal cancer (odds ratio); 6) to follow the effects of vitamin B-6, folate and homocysteine status, oxidative stress, antioxidant activities and DNA methylation on the occurrence of colorectal cancer; 7) to follow the effects of pyridoxine and/or folic acid supplementation on the occurrence of colorectal cancer. This protocol is designed as a hospital-based cross-sectional, case-control, double blinded randomized placebo-controlled intervention and follow-up trial. Three hundred colorectal cancer patients and 300 age-, sex-matched controls who meet the inclusion criteria will be recruited from Taichung General Veterans Hospital. If cancer patients’ plasma pyridoxal 5’-phosphate (PLP) level less than 30 nmol/L will be asked to participate the intervention study and will be blinded and randomly assigned to either the 1) control (vitamin C, 100 mg/d); 2) 50 mg vitamin B-6; 3) 400 microgram/d folic acid; or 4) vitamin B-6 (50 mg/d) plus folic acid (400 microgram/d) for 1 year. Data on demography, anthropometry, medical history, food frequency questionnaire and 24-h diet recall will be collected. Cancer patients will have fasting blood drawn before surgery or receiving chemotherapy. Additionally, fasting blood samples will be obtained at month 0, 3, 6, 9 and 12 during intervention period and at month 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42 and 48 during follow-up. Hematological, plasma and erythrocyte PLP, plasma pyridoxal and 4-pyridoxic acid, serum and erythrocyte folate, serum vitamin B-12, homocysteine, SAM, SAH, lipid peroxidation indicators (TBARS, oxidized LDL), glutathione, antioxidant enzymatic activities and DNA methylation and MTHFR 677C>T polymorphism will be measured.
