The vulnerability of actin cytoskeleton to disulfide stress dictates high SLC7A11-driven cell death upon glucose deprivation

ABSTRACT: Solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11; also known as xCT) is a cystine transporter frequently overexpressed in cancers. Cancer cells with high expression of SLC7A11 (SLC7A11high) are resistant to ferroptosis but exquisitely sensitive to glucose deprivation-induced cell death, although the underlying mechanism of the latter cell death remains poorly understood. Here we show that We found that glucose deprivation induced a novel type of cell death in SLC7A11high cancer cells that was different from apoptosis or ferroptosis. And the bioorthogonal chemical proteomics analysis revealed that a large amount of actin cytoskeleton proteins were shown with significantly dysregulated disulfides induced by glucose starvation in SLC7A11high cancer cells. In mechanism, SLC7A11high mediated cystine uptake and subsequent reduction to cysteine forced disulfide stress on actin cytoskeleton upon glucose deprivation through draining intracellular reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) pool, which was independent of generating reactive oxygen species (ROS). The disulfide stress on the actin cytoskeleton induced rapidly contracted actin filaments and detached from the plasma membrane, which incurred cell death. In the end, using whole-genome CRISPR/Cas9 knock-out screening we identified NCKAP1 as a downstream factor of SLC7A11 to promoting cell death upon glucose deprivation by inhibiting branched actin filaments.

Project description:Altered metabolism is an important part of malignant transformation of tumor cells. Oncogenic transformation may reprogram tumor metabolism and render tumor cells addicted to extracellular nutrients. Such nutrient addictions associated with oncogenic mutations may offer therapeutic opportunities; however, it remains difficult to predict these nutrient addictions. Here, we performed a nutrigenetic screen to determine the phenotypes of isogenic pairs of clear-cell renal cancer cells (ccRCC) with or without VHL upon the deprivation of individual amino acids. We identified that cystine deprivation triggered rapid programmed necrosis in VHL-deficient RCC, but not in their VHL-restored counterparts. Similar cystine addiction was also observed in VHL-deficient primary RCC tumors cells. Blockage of cystine uptake significantly delayed xenograft growth of ccRCC. Importantly, cystine deprivation triggered similar metabolic changes regardless of VHL status. Therefore, metabolic differences due to cystine deprivation are not different enough to readily explain the distinct fate of life vs. death in VHL-deficient and restored cell.. Instead, we found that increased levels of TNFÎ± associated with VHL loss in the VHL-deficient RCC force them to rely on intact RIPK1 to inhibit apoptosis. However, this pre-existing elevated TNFÎ± in the VHL-deficient ccRCC renders these cells susceptible to the necrosis signaling triggered by cystine deprivation. In addition, we identified that cystine-deprived necrosis in VHL-deficient RCC depends on reciprocal amplification of the Src-p38-Noxa signaling and TNFÎ±-RIP1/3-MLKL necrosis pathways that culminate in MLKL oligomerization and programmed necrosis. Together, our data reveal that the contextual cystine-addictions in VHL-deficient ccRCC is dependent on activating pre-existing oncogenic pathways to trigger programmed necrosis. RNA was extracted by RNAeasy kits (Qiagen) from the RCC4 Vec and VHL-reconstituted cells which were exposed to the control full DMEM or cystine deprived DMEM media for 6 hours (three replicates in each condition).
