Labile Iron Release Primes Pancreatic Cancer for Ferroptosis

ABSTRACT: Cancers have unique metabolic adaptations in response to cell-intrinsic and environmental stressors, where identifying new strategies to target these adaptions is an area of active research. We previously described a dependency on a cytosolic aspartate aminotransaminase (GOT1)-dependent pathway for NADPH generation in pancreatic cancer. Here, we sought to identify metabolic dependencies following GOT1 inhibition to provide insight into the regulation of redox metabolism. Using pharmacological methods, we identified cysteine, glutathione, and lipid antioxidant function as metabolic vulnerabilities following GOT1 withdrawal. Targeting any of these pathways triggered ferroptosis, an oxidative, non-apoptotic, iron-dependent form of cell death in GOT1 knockdown cells. Mechanistically, GOT1 inhibition promoted a catabolic state and enhanced the availability of labile iron through autophagy and iron uptake. In sum, our study identifies a novel biochemical connection between GOT1, iron regulation, and ferroptosis, and suggests GOT1 plays a role in protecting PDA from metabolic stress.

Intracellular labile iron is a key regulator of hepcidin expression and iron metabolism

Project description:Liver iron overload can induce hepatic expression of hepcidin and regulates iron metabolism. However, the mechanism of iron regulating iron metabolism remains known. Intracellular labile iron represents the nonferritin-bound, redox-active iron which is transitory and serves as a crossroad of cell iron metabolism. The role of intracellular labile iron played in iron metabolism has largely been elucidated. Here we show that intracellular labile iron of hepatocytes has dual function in iron metabolism. It can induce hepatocytes expressing hepcidin via ER stress induced transcription factors on the one hand, on the other hand stimulate BMP2 and BMP6 expression of liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) though TNFα secreted by hepatocytes to further regulate iron metabolism. Blockade of TNFα could dysregulate the iron metabolism during iron overload. Our findings reveal the important role of intracellular labile iron in iron metabolism and represent a novel way to modulate iron metabolism during iron overload.

Transcriptomic alterations in ferroptotic murine embryonic fibroblasts

Project description:Alterations of metabolic and biological processes occur in ferroptotic cells. We analyzed transcriptional responses of murine embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) exposed to a ferroptosis inducer erastin. We found that a set of genes related to protection against oxidative stress was induced upon ferroptosis and Bach1 promoted ferroptosis by repressing a set of these genes involved in synthesis of glutathione or metabolism of intracellular labile iron. Our findings suggests that ferroptosis is programmed at transcriptional level and Bach1 works as a controller in setting a threshold of ferroptosis.

Targeting Circulating Labile Heme as a Defense Strategy Against Malaria

Project description:Severe presentations of malaria emerge as parasites from Plasmodium spp. proliferate and lyse red blood cells (RBC), producing extracellular hemoglobin (HB). The heme prosthetic groups are released upon HB oxidation generating circulating labile heme. Here we asked whether scavenging of extracellular HB and/or labile heme, by haptoglobin (HP) and/or hemopexin (HPX), respectively, is protective against severe presentations of malaria. We found that circulating labile heme is an independent risk factor for cerebral and non-cerebral severe presentations of P. falciparum malaria. Labile heme was negatively correlated with HP and HPX, which were however, not risk factors for severe P. falciparum malaria. Genetic HP and/or HPX deletion in mice led to accumulation of labile heme in plasma and kidneys in response to Plasmodium (chabaudi chabaudi) infection. This was associated with increased mortality and acute kidney injury (AKI) in ageing but not adult mice, corroborated in P. falciparum malaria by a an inverse correlation between HPX and heme with serological markers of AKI. In conclusion, HP and HPX exert an age-dependent protective effect against malaria that counters the pathogenesis of AKI in mice and presumably in humans.

Tumor suppressor Par-4 activates autophagy-dependent ferroptosis

Project description:Ferroptosis is a unique iron-dependent form of non-apoptotic cell death characterized by devastating lipid peroxidation. Whilst growing evidence suggests that ferroptosis is a type of autophagy-dependent cell death, the underlying molecular mechanisms regulating ferroptosis are largely unknown. In this study, through an unbiased RNA-sequencing screening, we demonstrate the activation of a multi-faceted tumor-suppressor protein Par-4/PAWR during ferroptosis. Functional studies reveal that genetic depletion of Par-4 effectively blocks ferroptosis, whereas Par-4 overexpression sensitizes cells to undergo ferroptosis. More importantly, we have determined that Par-4-triggered ferroptosis is mechanistically driven by the autophagic machinery. Upregulation of Par-4 promotes activation of ferritinophagy (autophagic degradation of ferritin) via the nuclear receptor co-activator 4 (NCOA4), resulting in excessive release of free labile iron and, hence, enhanced lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis. Inhibition of Par-4 dramatically suppresses the NCOA4-mediated ferritinophagy signaling axis. Our results also establish that Par-4 activation positively correlates with reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, which is critical for ferritinophagy-mediated ferroptosis. Furthermore, Par-4 knockdown effectively blocked ferroptosis-mediated tumor suppression in the mouse xenograft models. Collectively, these findings reveal that Par-4 has a crucial role in ferroptosis, which could be further exploited for cancer therapy.

Disrupting CISD2 function in cancer cells primarily alters mitochondrial labile iron status and triggers reactive oxygen species accumulation

Project description:The multiple functions of CISD2 in cells could result from its role in calcium signaling, iron and/or iron-sulfur homeostasis, and/or ROS signaling/homeostasis. The relationship(s) and interdependency between these different signaling and homeostasis processes are however unclear at present, since most studies of CISD2 to date have been conducted with cells, tissues or organisms that constitutively lack, overexpress, or contain a mutation(s) in CISD2. Although these experimental systems provided valuable information on CISD2 function, they lack a fine temporal dimension that would enable dissecting the relationship(s) between CISD2 effects on calcium, iron and ROS homeostasis and signaling. It is unclear therefore if the primary effect of CISD2 disruption results in alterations in calcium, iron, and/or ROS levels, and whether some of these alterations activate or suppress the others. To begin addressing these important questions in cancer cells, we developed an inducible system to express NAF-1 or the H114C cluster-stable mutant of NAF-1 in human epithelial breast cancer cells. Here, we report that inducible disruption of CISD2 (H114C) function in cancer cells causes an immediate disruption in mitochondrial labile iron levels and that this disruption results in altered mitochondrial ROS (mROS) levels. We further show that alterations in cytosolic and ER calcium levels occur only after the changes in mitochondrial labile iron and ROS levels took place.

mTOR Inhibition Suppresses Salinomycin-Induced Ferroptosis in Breast Cancer Stem Cells by Ironing Out Mitochondrial Dysfunctions

Project description:Ferroptosis constitutes a promising therapeutic strategy against cancer by efficiently targeting the highly tumorigenic and treatment-resistant cancer stem cells (CSCs). We previously showed that the lysosomal iron-targeting drug Salinomycin (Sal) was able to eliminate CSCs by triggering ferroptosis. Here, in a well-established breast CSCs model (human mammary epithelial HMLER CD24low/CD44high), we identified that pharmacological inhibition of mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR), suppresses Sal-induced ferroptosis. Mechanistically, mTOR inhibition modulates iron cellular flux and prevents the iron and ROS bursts induced by Sal. Besides, integration of multi-omics data identified mitochondria as a key target of Sal action. We demonstrated that mTOR inhibition prevents Sal-induced mitochondrial functional and structural alteration, and that Sal-induced metabolic plasticity is mainly dependent on the mTOR pathway. Overall, our findings provide experimental evidences on the detailed mechanisms of mTOR as a crucial effector of Sal-induced ferroptosis, and gives proof-of-concept that careful evaluation of such combination therapy (here mTOR and ferroptosis co-targeting) is required for effective treatment.
