Quantitative Time-Course Profiling of Sorafenib-Treated Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) Cells Through Phosphoproteome Analysis

ABSTRACT: Ferroptosis is a new form of regulated, non-apoptotic cell death characterized by excessive lipid peroxidation upon loss of activity of the lipid repair enzyme glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4). Sorafenib, an FDA-approved multi-kinase inhibitor drug for treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), has been shown to induce ferroptosis. Protein phosphorylation changes upon Sorafenib treatment have been previously reported in patient studies and in cell culture however the early phosphorylation changes during induction of ferroptosis are not completely understood. This work highlights these changes through a time course from 7 to 60 min of Sorafenib treatment in SKHep1 cells to provide insight on the induction of ferroptosis. 6,186 unique phosphosites were quantified from 2,381 phosphoproteins in this study and phosphorylation changes occurred in as early as 30 minutes of Sorafenib treatment. By 60 minutes, significant changes in key regulatory pathways were identified, including sites from ferroptosis-related proteins, indicating the involvement of phospho-regulated signaling during ferroptosis induction.

Project description:Purpose: Gastric cancer remains one of the deadliest neoplasms worldwide, with a high need for new therapeutic options. Efficacies of targeted therapies are often limited owing to the inter- and intratumoral heterogeneity of gastric cancer. Thus, drugs with broader mechanisms of action rather than relying on the inhibition of a single specific oncogene are needed. Preclinical studies have identified histone deacetylases (HDAC) and their respective isoforms as potential therapeutic targets in gastric cancer. However, clinical efficacies are moderate and the mechanism(s) of action of HDAC inhibitors (HDACi) are only partially understood. Methods: In a panel of gastric cancer cell lines with different molecular characteristics, tumor cell inhibitory effects of different HDACi were studied. Lipid peroxidation levels were measured using flow cytometry. Proteome analysis was performed for the in-depth characterization of molecular alterations upon HDAC inhibition. HDACi effects on important ferroptosis genes were validated on the mRNA (RT-qPCR) and protein level (Western Blot). Results: Upon HDACi treatment, lipid peroxidation levels were found increased in all tested cell lines. Class-I HDACi (VK1, entinostat) showed the same toxicity profile as the pan-HDACi vorinostat. Proteome analysis revealed significant and concordant alterations in the expression of proteins related to ferroptosis induction. Key enzymes like ACSL4, POR or SLC7A11 showed distinct alterations in their expression patterns, providing an explanation for the increased lipid peroxidation. Alterations of POR and SLC7A11 levels upon treatment were also confirmed in primary human gastric cancer tissue cultures as relevant ex vivo model. Conclusion: We identify the induction of ferroptosis as a new mechanism of action of class-I HDACi in gastric cancer. Notably, these findings were independent of the genetic background of the cell lines, thus introducing HDAC inhibition as a more general therapeutic principle besides other, less broadly usable targeted drugs.
