The Deubiquitylase USP52 Regulates Cell Proliferation and Ferroptosis through Stabilizing SLC7A11/xCT in Bladder Cancer

ABSTRACT: Ferroptosis, a recently coined non-apoptotic form of cell death, is triggered by lethal accumulation of iron-dependent lipid peroxidation. SLC7A11/xCT, acts as a central hub in ferroptosis, is closely related to the development of multiple human diseases. However, the specific functions and potential regulatory mechanisms of ferroptosis, especially xCT protein, in bladder cancer (BLCA) remain poorly understood. Herein, through an unbiased siRNA screen targeting 96 deubiquitinases (DUBs), we identified USP52/PAN2 as a top regulator essential for xCT protein translational activity and ferroptosis process. Functionally, loss of USP52 inhibits glutathione (GSH) synthesis through xCT degradation, leading to elevated lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis, thereby suppresses BLCA progression. Mechanistically, USP52 physically interacts with xCT through its WD40 domain, biochemically hydrolyzes the K48-conjugated ubiquitin chains of xCT at K4 and K12, thereby promotes its protein stability. Importantly, USP52 expression demonstrates a positive correlation with xCT expression in clinical BLCA samples, and high USP52 expression is linked to a worse progression and prognosis. Additionally, USP52 depletion and IKE synergistically restrained the progression of BLCA by triggering ferroptosis in vivo. Collectively, our findings reveal a molecular mechanism of USP52-xCT axis in ferroptosis, and uncover a previously unappreciated role of USP52 in BLCA tumorigenesis.

Pancreatic acinar cell fate relies on system xc- to prevent ferroptosis during stress

Project description:Acinar cell dedifferentiation is one of the most notable features of acute and chronic pancreatitis. It can also be the initial step that facilitates pancreatic cancer development. In the present study, we further decipher the precise mechanism and regulation using murine experimental models. Our RNAseq analysis indicates that, early acinar cell dedifferentiation is accompanied by multiple pathways related to cell survival that are highly enriched, and where SLC7A11 (xCT) is transiently upregulated. xCT is the specific subunit of the cystine/glutamate antiporter system xC-. Acinar cells with depleted or reduced xCT function show an increase in ferroptosis relating to lipid peroxidation. Lower glutathione levels and more lipid ROS accumulation could be rescued by the antioxidant N-acetylcysteine or the ferroptosis inhibitor Ferrostatin-1. In caerulein-induced acute pancreatitis in mice, xCT also prevents lipid peroxidation in acinar cells. In conclusion, during stress, acinar cell fate seems to be poised for avoiding several forms of cell death. xCT specifically prevents acinar cell ferroptosis by fueling the glutathione pool and maintaining ROS balance. The data suggest that xCT offers a druggable tipping point to steer the acinar cell fate in stress conditions.

Inhibition of xCT Suppresses Melanoma progress

Project description:Tumor cells increase glutamate release through the cystine/glutamate transporter xCT to balance oxidative homeostasis in tumor cells and promote tumor progression. Here, we demonstrated that although inhibition of xCT either by pharmacological inhibitor (sulfasalazine, SAS), approved by FDA for inflammatory diseases, or genetic knockdown induced ROS-related death in melanoma cells. Taken together, our results reveal that inhibition of xCT by SAS is a promising therapeutic strategy for melanoma.

Overlapping role of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) 1 and 2 in imidazole ketone erastin-induced ferroptosis

Project description:Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent form of non-apoptotic cell death characterized by the generation of excess reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lipid peroxidation. However, it remains largely unknown whether signaling pathways, such as the ROS-activated mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways, affect ferroptosis. The c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), a MAPK signaling molecule that plays an essential role in apoptosis, is activated in response to various stimuli, including oxidative stress. In this study, we examined the functional role of JNK in cell death induced by imidazole ketone erastin (IKE), a potent ferroptosis inducer, using gene knockout technology. We found that JNK1/2 double-knockout cells, but not JNK1 or JNK2 single-knockout cells, were much more tolerant to IKE-induced cell death compared to control cells. We further demonstrated that IKE-induced increase in CTH and HMOX1, key genes in ferroptosis, in control cells was substantially suppressed by the depletion of JNK1 and JNK2. These results suggested that JNK1 and JNK2 play an important, overlapping role in ferroptosis. Our findings advance our understanding of the JNK pathway, which could contribute to future pharmacological developments in ferroptosis-related diseases such as cancer and neurodegeneration.

Genomic analysis of xCT-mediated regulatory network: identification of novel targets against AIDS-associated lymphoma

Project description:Kaposiâs sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is the etiological agent of primary effusion lymphoma (PEL), a rapidly progressing malignancy mostly arising in HIV-infected patients. Even under conventional chemotherapy, PEL continues to portend nearly 100% mortality within several months, which urgently requires novel therapeutic strategies. We have previously demonstrated that targeting xCT, an amino acid transporter for cystine/glutamate exchange, induces significant PEL cell apoptosis through regulation of multiple host and viral factors. More importantly, one of xCT selective inhibitors, Sulfasalazine (SASP), effectively prevents PEL tumor progression in an immune-deficient xenograft model. In the current study, we use Illumina microarray to explore the genomic gene profile altered by SASP treatment within 3 KSHV+ PEL cell-lines, and discover that many genes involved in oxidative stress/antioxidant defense system, apoptosis/anti-apoptosis/cell death, and cellular response to unfolded proteins/topologically incorrect proteins are potentially regulated by xCT. We further functionally validate 2 downstream candidates, OSGIN1 (Oxidative stress-induced growth inhibitor 1) and XRCC5 (X-ray repair cross-complementing protein 5), their relationship with PEL cell survival/proliferation and chemoresistance, respectively. Together, our data indicate that targeting these xCT-regulated novel downstream genes may help devise promising therapeutic strategies against PEL and/or other AIDS-related lymphoma. 3 KSHV PEL cell lines were treated with xCT selective inhibitor Sulfasalazine (SASP) and the gene expression signature was compared to that of untreated cells

Imidazole ketone erastin induces ferroptosis and slows tumor growth in a mouse lymphoma model

Project description:Ferroptosis is a form of regulated cell death that can be induced by inhibition of the cystine-glutamate antiporter, system xc-. Among the existing system xc- inhibitors, imidazole ketone erastin (IKE) is a potent, metabolically stable inhibitor of system xc- and inducer of ferroptosis potentially suitable for in vivo applications. We investigated the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic features of IKE in a diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) xenograft model and demonstrated that IKE exerted an antitumor effect by inhibiting system xc-, leading to glutathione depletion, lipid peroxidation, and the induction of ferroptosis biomarkers both in vitro and in vivo. Using untargeted lipidomics and qPCR, we identified distinct features of lipid metabolism in IKE-induced ferroptosis. In addition, biodegradable polyethylene glycol-poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) nanoparticles were employed to aid in IKE delivery and exhibited reduced toxicity compared with free IKE in a DLBCL xenograft model.

RNA-seq of human pancreatic cancer cell line PANC-1 treated with RSL-3, N6F11, Fin56 and Erastin against untreated controls

Project description:Ferroptotic cell death is dependent on unrestricted lipid peroxidation rather than activation of apoptotic effector caspases. A large number of ferroptosis activators have been reported recently. We used gene sequencing to analyze the effects of four ferroptosis activators (RSL3, N6F11, Fin56 and Erastin) on global gene expression in human PDAC1 cell line.

Targeting N-glycosylation of 4F2hc mediated by glycosyltransferases B3GNT3 sensitizes ferroptosis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma

Project description:Aberrant glycosylation involves multifaceted pathological and pathophysiological changes in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), including but not limited to conferring tumor cells the ability to resist cell death. Ferroptosis driven by lethal lipid peroxidation provides a targetable vulnerability to PDAC. However, the crosstalk between glycosylation and ferroptosis remains unclear. Here, we identified 4F2hc, a subunit of the glutamate-cystine antiporter system Xc–, its N-glycosylation is involved in PDAC ferroptosis by N- and O-linked glycoproteomics. Knockdown of SLC3A2 (gene name of 4F2hc) or blocking the N-glycosylation of 4F2hc potentiates ferroptosis sensitization of PDAC cells by impairing the activity of system Xc– manifested by a marked decrease in intracellular glutathione. To identify which glycosyltransferases are critical for glycosylation initiation during ferroptosis execution. We collected 207 glycosyltransferase genes (GTGs) and performed parallel RNA-seq to reveal that the glycosyltransferase B3GNT3 catalyzes the glycosylation of 4F2hc, which stabilizes the 4F2hc protein as well as its interaction with xCT. Additionally, upon the combination with a ferroptosis inducer, treatment with the classical N-glycosylation inhibitor tunicamycin (TM) markedly triggered the overactivation of lipid peroxidation and enhanced the sensitivity of PDAC cells to ferroptosis. Notably, we confirmed that genetic perturbation of SLC3A2 or combination treatment with TM markedly increased ferroptosis sensitivity in the orthotopic PDAC model. Clinically, high expression of 4F2hc and B3GNT3 contributes to the progression and poor survival of PDAC patients. Collectively, our findings reveal a previously unappreciated function of N-glycosylation of 4F2hc in ferroptosis and suggest that targeting glycosylated 4F2hc can induce susceptibility to ferroptosis in PDAC.

XCT is a novel regulator of chromatin functionally conserved across eukaryotes

Project description:XCT was originally identified due to the short circadian period observed in plants mutant for this gene. Proteins with homology to XCT are found across eukaryotes, but their molecular function is unknown. We have recently demonstrated that in Schizosaccharomyces pombe, the XCT ortholog Xap5 is a chromatin-associated protein that acts in a similar manner as the histone variant H2A.Z to suppress aberrant gene expression. Here, we demonstrate that although XCT and H2A.Z act in similar pathways to control plant development, XCT's role in the circadian clock is independent of H2A.Z.

Role of the glial glutamate exchanger xCT in ventral hippocampus in resilience to stress

Project description:We demonstrate that stress differentially regulates glutamate homeostasis in the dorsal and ventral hippocampus and established a previously unknown role for the glial marker xCT in the homeostatic regulation of the ventral dentate gyrus (vDG) in stress resilience and antidepressant responses. We provide RNAseq roadmap for the stress-sensitive vDG and show that the transcription factor REST binds to xCT promoter in co-occupancy with the epigenetic marker H3K27acet, to negatively regulate xCT expression. Reduced xCT was also observed in a genetic mouse model of inherent susceptibility to depression. Pharmacologically modulating histone acetylation with next-generation therapeutics, such as acetyl-N-cysteine (NAC) or acetyl-L-carnitine (LAC), rapidly increased xCT reduction and activated a network that included mGlu2 receptors to prime an enhanced glutamate homeostasis that promoted stress resilience and antidepressant-like responses. Moreover, pharmacological xCT blockage counteracted NAC prophylactic effects. Anatomical (vDG) and cell-type specific (GFAP+) virus-overexpression mimicked the effects of pharmacological treatments in increasing stress resilience. These findings establish xCT as critical regulator of the glutamate system in a network with mGlu2 receptors. These studies also point to a role of histone acetylation as mediator of stress resilience.
