Epigenetic Profile in RBPJ Maintains Brain Tumor Initiating Cells through CDK9-mediated Transcriptional Elongation

ABSTRACT: Glioblastomas display hierarchies with self-renewing cancer stem-like cells (CSCs). RNA sequencing and enhancer mapping revealed regulatory programs unique to CSCs causing upregulation of the iron transporter transferrin, the top differentially expressed gene compared to tissue-specific progenitors. Direct interrogation of iron uptake demonstrated CSCs potently extract iron from the microenvironment more effectively than other tumor cells. Systematic interrogation of iron flux determined that CSCs preferentially require transferrin receptor and ferritin - two core iron regulators - to propagate and form tumors in vivo. Depleting ferritin disrupted CSC mitotic progression, through the STAT3-FoxM1 regulatory axis, revealing an iron-regulated CSC pathway. Iron is a unique, primordial metal fundamental for earliest life forms, and on which CSCs have an epigenetically programmed, targetable dependence.

A Phase I/II Study of Active Immunotherapy With Cancer Stem Cells Vaccine for Colorectal Cancer

Project description:Most studies of cancer stem cells (CSC) involve the inoculation of cells from human tumors into immunosuppressed mice, preventing an assessment on the immunologic interactions and effects of CSCs. In this study, the investigators examined the vaccination effects produced by CSC-enriched populations from histologically distinct murine tumors after their inoculation into different syngeneic immunocompetent hosts. Enriched CSCs were immunogenic and more effective as an antigen source than unselected tumor cells in inducing protective antitumor immunity.Immune sera from CSC-vaccinated hosts contained high levels of IgG which bound to CSCs, resulting in CSC lysis in the presence of complement.CTLs generated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells or splenocytes harvested from CSC-vaccinated hosts were capable of killing CSCs in vitro. Mechanistic investigations established that CSC-primed antibodies and T cells were capable of selective targeting CSCs and conferring anti-tumor immunity.

Fatal COVID-19 pulmonary disease involves ferroptosis.

Project description:<p>SARS-CoV-2 infection causes severe pulmonary manifestations, with poorly understood mechanisms and limited treatment options. Hyperferritinemia and disrupted lung iron homeostasis in COVID-19 patients imply that ferroptosis, an iron-dependent cell death, may occur. Immunostaining and lipidomic analysis in COVID-19 lung autopsies reveal increases in ferroptosis markers, including transferrin receptor 1 and malondialdehyde accumulation in fatal cases. COVID-19 lungs display dysregulation of lipids involved in metabolism and ferroptosis. We find increased ferritin light chain associated with severe COVID-19 lung pathology. Iron overload promotes ferroptosis in both primary cells and cancerous lung epithelial cells. In addition, ferroptosis markers strongly correlate with lung injury severity in a COVID-19 lung disease model using male Syrian hamsters. These results reveal a role for ferroptosis in COVID-19 pulmonary disease; pharmacological ferroptosis inhibition may serve as an adjuvant therapy to prevent lung damage during SARS-CoV-2 infection.</p>

Non-invasive assessment of normal and impaired iron homeostasis in living human brains

Project description:Strict iron regulation is essential for normal brain function. The iron homeostasis, determined by the milieu of available iron compounds, is impaired in aging, neurodegenerative diseases and cancer. However, non-invasive assessment of different molecular iron environments implicating brain tissue's iron homeostasis remains a challenge. We present a novel magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology sensitive to the iron homeostasis of the living brain (the r1-r2*relaxivity). In vitro, our MRI approach reveals the distinct paramagnetic properties of ferritin, transferrin and ferrous iron. In the in vivo human brain, we validate our approach against ex vivo iron compounds quantification and gene expression. Our approach varies with the iron mobilization capacity across brain regions and in aging. It reveals brain tumors’ iron homeostasis, and enhances the distinction between tumor tissue and non- pathological tissue without contrast agents. Therefore, our approach may allow for non-invasive research and diagnosis of iron homeostasis in living human brains.

The Hyphal Associated Adhesin and Invasin Als3 of Candida albicans Mediates Iron Acquisition from Host Ferritin

Project description:Iron sequestration by host iron-binding proteins is an important mechanism of resistance to microbial infections. Inside oral epithelial cells, iron is stored within the ferritin, and is therefore usually not accessible to pathogenic microbes. We observed that the ferritin concentration within oral epithelial cells was directly related to their susceptibility to damage by the human pathogenic fungus Candida albicans. Thus, we hypothesized that host ferritin may be used as an iron source by this organism. A screen of C. albicans mutants lacking components of each of the three iron acquisition systems revealed that only the reductive pathway is involved in iron utilization from ferritin by this organism. Transcriptional profiling of wild-type and hyphal-defective C. albicans strains suggested that the C. albicans invasin-like protein Als3 plays a role in ferritin binding.

Acquisition of Cancer Stem Cell Properties in Osteosarcoma Cells by Defined Factors

Project description:Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are proposed to be unique subsets of clones within a tumor, attributed with tumor progression, resistance to chemotherapy, and metastases. However, little is known about the molecular mechanisms regulating the acquisition and maintenance of CSC properties in cancers, especially in rare cancers, such as osteosarcoma (OS). In this study, we generated OS cells with CSC properties following transduction of defined factors. This method enabled us to obtain abundant OS CSC material. The results of our study could facilitate a better understanding of the mechanisms of OS progression, and aid in the development of new therapies targeting CSCs in patients with OS.

Bulk RNA-seq of the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum 3D7 cultured under different iron conditions

Project description:Background: Host iron deficiency is protective against severe malaria as the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum depends on free iron from its host to proliferate. Due to the absence of transferrin, ferritin, ferroportin, and a functional heme oxygenase, the parasite’s essential pathways of iron acquisition, storage, export, and detoxification differ from those in humans and may thus be excellent targets for therapeutic development. However, the proteins involved in these processes in P. falciparum remain largely unknown. Experimental design: To identify iron-regulated mechanisms and putative iron transporters in the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum 3D7, we carried out whole-transcriptome profiling using bulk RNA-sequencing. The parasites were cultured either using erythrocytes from a donors with high, medium (healthy) or low iron status (experiment 1); or with red blood cells from another healthy donor in the presence or absence of 0.7 µM hepcidin, a specific ferroportin inhibitor and iron-regulatory hormone (experiment 2). This concentration of hepcidin was reported to reduce binding of ferrous iron to ferroportin by 50% in vitro (39). Samples from three biological replicates each were harvested at the ring and trophozoite stage (6 – 9 and 26 – 29 hours post invasion, hpi) during the second intra-erythrocytic developmental cycle under the conditions specified.

RNA-seq analysis of sorted duodenum epithelial cells and duodenum lamia propria macrophages from mice where Tsc2 is deleted in Lyz2-expressing cells

Project description:Iron is an essential cellular and important for many physiological functions including erythropoiesis and host defense. It is taken up from the diet in the duodenum, the first part of the small intestine by enterocytes and loaded onto transferrin, the main iron transport molecules in the circulation. Macrophages are ancient sentinel cells that are implicated in all steps of systemic iron metabolism except duodenal iron import. By assessing mice that harbor a macrophage-specific deletion of the tuberous sclerosis complex 2 (Tsc2), a negative regulator of mTORC1, we found that these mice possessed various defects in iron metabolism including defective steady state erythropoiesis and a highly reduced saturation of transferrin with iron. This iron-deficiency phenotype was caused by a block of iron import from the duodenal epithelial cells into the circulation. Activation of mTORC1 in villous duodenal CD68+ macrophages induced expression of serine proteases and promoted local degradation of the major iron transport molecule transferrin, whereas depletion of macrophages in mice increased transferrin levels in the duodenal villi. Inhibition of serine protease activity restored transferrin levels in the Tsc2-deficient mice. Physiologically, transferrin levels were regulated in the villi during Citrobacter rodentium infection in mice. These data show that transferrin is controlled locally in the duodenum and establish macrophages as regulators of duodenal iron uptake.
