Zeb1-mediated control of PUFA-phospholipids in EMT/plasticity-associated cancer cell ferroptosis


ABSTRACT: Therapy resistance and metastasis, the most fatal steps in cancer, are often triggered by a (partial) activation of the epithelial-mesenchymal-transition (EMT)-program. A mesenchymal phenotype predisposes to ferroptosis, a cell death pathway exerted by an iron and oxygen-radical mediated peroxidation of phospholipids containing polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). We here describe that various forms of EMT-activation, including TGFB-stimulation, increase ferroptosis-susceptibility in cancer cells, which depends on the EMT-transcription factor Zeb1. Among other effects, we demonstrate that Zeb1 increases the ratio of phospholipids containing pro-ferroptotic PUFAs over cyto-protective monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) and modulates the expression of underlying crucial lipogenic enzymes (and ACSL4). Pharmacological inhibition of selected lipogenic enzymes (SCD and FADS2) allows the manipulation of ferroptosis-sensitivity in a Zeb1-dependent manner. Our data are of potential translational relevance and suggest a combination of ferroptosis-activators and SCD-inhibitors for the treatment of aggressive cancers expressing Zeb1, which might also be a useful predictive marker for such a combination therapy
