Ferritinophagy is a Druggable Vulnerability of Quiescent Leukemic Stem Cells [9a]

ABSTRACT: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) remains a challenging hematological malignancy with poor prognosis and limited treatment options. Post-therapy relapse, particularly driven by leukemic stem cells (LSCs), contributes to therapeutic failure and adverse outcome. Here, we investigated the role of quiescence and its associated molecular mechanisms in AML pathogenesis and identified potential vulnerabilities for therapeutic intervention. We found that quiescent AML cells, enriched for LSC functions, exhibited a distinct gene set that served as a significant prognostic factor for poor outcomes in AML patients. Furthermore, quiescent cells displayed heightened autophagic activity, with a reliance on ferritinophagy, a selective form of autophagy mediated by Nuclear Receptor Coactivator 4 (NCOA4), for iron bioavailability. Inhibition of NCOA4 genetically or chemically showed potent anti-leukemic effects, particularly targeting the LSC compartment. These findings uncover that ferritinophagy inhibition may represent a promising therapeutic strategy for patients with AML.

NCOA4-mediated ferritinophagy is a pancreatic cancer dependency via maintenance of iron bioavailability for iron-sulfur cluster proteins

Project description:Oncogenic KRAS rewires pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) metabolism to promote dependence on autophagy and iron metabolism. NCOA4-mediated ferritinophagy links autophagy and iron metabolism as NCOA4 selectively targets ferritin, the cellular iron storage complex, via autophagy to the lysosome for ferritin degradation and release of iron for utilization. Using patient-derived and genetically engineered murine models of PDAC we now demonstrate that ferritinophagy is upregulated in PDAC to sustain iron availability thereby promoting PDAC progression. PDAC global quantitative proteomics reveals that ferritinophagy fuels iron-sulfur cluster synthesis to support mitochondrial homeostasis. Targeting NCOA4 leads to tumor growth delay and prolonged survival but with development of compensatory iron acquisition pathways. Finally, a ferritinophagy gain-of-function PDAC murine model demonstrates worse survival, and an elevated ferritinophagy expression signature predicts for worse overall survival in human PDAC patients. Together, our data define NCOA4-mediated ferritinophagy as a therapeutic target in PDAC and reveal that maintenance of cellular iron homeostasis is a critical cell autonomous function of PDAC autophagy.

LAA expression profiles on LSC compared to other tissues

Project description:Leukemic stem cells (LSC) might be the source for leukemic disease self-renewal and account for disease relapse after treatment, which makes them a critical target for further therapeutic options. Leukemia associated antigens (LAA) might be suitable structures to be attacked by immunotherapeutic agents. We performed primary AML sample enrichment and microarray studies to define LAA expression levels in AML. We compared the LAA expression in the enriched CD34+CD38- AML fraction to that of enriched HSC of healthy donors and AML bulk cells (CD34+CD38+, CD34-CD38+ and CD34-CD38). Furthermore, we investigated the expression patterns of co-stimulatory molecules in LSC, bulk AML cells and enriched HSC, Conclusion: We demonstrated the differential expression of several LAA in LSC, and their suitability as target structures. We enriched primary AML samples using CD34 and CD38 as markers to compare LAA expression levels of LSC, HSC and AML bulk. LAA expression profiles comparing LSC, HSC and leukemic bulk AML citation: Leukemic progenitor cells are susceptible to targeting by stimulated cytotoxic T cells against immunogenic leukemia-associated antigens Vanessa Schneider, Lu Zhang, Markus Rojewski, Natalie Fekete, Hubert Schrezenmeier, Alexander Erle, Lars Bullinger, Susanne Hofmann, Marlies Götz, Konstanze Döhner, Susann Ihme, Hartmut Döhner, Christian Buske, Michaela Feuring-Buske, Jochen Greiner

Effect of NCOA4-depletion on the transcriptome profile of J774 mouse macrophage cells

Project description:To determine the physiological roles of NCOA4 and ferritinophagy in macrophages, NCOA4 was depleted via liposome-mediated siRNA delivery into cells. Cells were treated with siRNA for NCOA4 depletion and then the transcriptome profiles acquired from RNA-seq were compared with those of control (scramble siRNA-treated) cells.

Effect of iron depletion on gene expression of NCOA4-deficient and control HT22 hippocampal neuron cells

Project description:To determine the physiological roles of NCOA4 and NCOA4-mediated ferritinophagy in hippocampal neurons, NCOA4 was depleted using siRNA and desferrioxamine (DFO; 100 µM, 24 h) was added to restrict iron availability. Cells were treated for NCOA4 depletion, iron restriction, or both, and then the transcriptome profiles acquired from RNA-seq were compared with those of control (scramble siRNA-treated) cells.

Lysosomal storage disease proteo/lipidomic profiling using nMOST links ferritinophagy with mitochondrial iron deficiencies in cells lacking NPC2

Project description:Lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs) comprised ~50 gene loci causing the accumulation of cellular material in the lysosome and associated defects in lysosomal function, but systematic molecular phenotyping is lacking. Here, we apply a nanoflow-based multi-omic single-shot technology (nMOST) workflow to simultaneously quantify HeLa cell proteomes and lipidomes from dozens of LSD mutants, revealing diverse molecular phenotypes. Defects in delivery of ferritin and its autophagic regulator NCOA4 to lysosomes (ferritinophagy) were pronounced in NPC2-/- cells, which correlated with increased lyso-phosphatidyl-choline species and dramatic multi-lamellar membrane structures visualized by cryo-electron tomography. Ferritinophagy defects correlated with loss of mitochondrial cristae, MICOS complex components, and electron transport chain complexes rich in iron-sulfur cluster proteins. Strikingly, these defects were rescued when iron was provided through the transferrin system. This resource reveals how loss of lysosomal function impacts organelle homeostasis in trans and highlights nMOST profiling as a discovery tool for illuminating distinct molecular phenotypes across LSDs.
