Metabolic consequences of erastin-induced ferroptosis in human ovarian cancer cells

ABSTRACT: Ovarian cancer has been difficult to cure due to acquired or intrinsic resistance Q10 and therefore, newer or more effective drugs/approaches are needed for a successful treatment in the clinic. Erastin (ER), a ferroptosis inducer, kills tumor cells by generating and accumulating reactive oxygen species (ROS) within the cell, resulting in an iron-dependent oxidative damage-mediated ferroptotic cell death. We have utilized human ovarian cancer cell lines, OVCAR- 8 and its adriamycin-selected, multi-drug resistance protein (MDR1)-expressing NCI/ADR-RES, both equally sensitive to ER, to identify metabolic biomarkers of ferroptosis. Our studies showed that ER treatment rapidly depleted cellular glutathione and cysteine and enhanced formation of ophthalamate (OPH) in both cells. Opthalalmate has been proposed to be a biomarker of oxidative stress in cells. Our study also found significant decreases in cellular taurine, a natural antioxidant in cells. Additionally, we found that ER treatment decreased cellular levels of NAD+/NADP+, carnitines and glutamine/glutamate in both cells, suggesting significant oxidative stress, decrease in energy production, and cellular and mitochondrial disfunctions, leading to cell death. Our studies identified several potential biomarkers of ER-induced ferroptosis including OPH, taurine, NAD+, NADP+ and glutamate in ovarian cancer cells. Identifying specific metabolic biomarkers that are predictive of whether a cancer is susceptible to ferroptosis will help us devise more successful treatment modalities.

Inhibition of GPX4 enhances CDK4/6 inhibitor activity in breast cancer.

Project description:CDK4/6 inhibition is the standard of care for estrogen receptor positive (ER+) breast cancer, although cytostasis is frequently observed, and new treatment strategies that enhance efficacy are required. We performed a genome-wide CRISPR screen to identify genetic determinants of CDK4/6 inhibitors sensitivity. Multiple genes involved in oxidative stress and ferroptosis modulated palbociclib sensitivity. Depletion or inhibition of GPX4 increased sensitivity to palbociclib in ER+ breast cancer models, and sensitised triple negative breast cancer models to palbociclib, with GPX4 null xenografts being highly sensitive to palbociclib. Palbociclib induced oxidative stress and disordered lipid metabolism with lipid peroxidation, leading to a ferroptosis-sensitive state. Lipid peroxidation relied on a peroxisome AGPAT3-dependent pathway in ER+ breast cancer models, rather than the classical ACSL4 pathway. Our data demonstrate that CDK4/6 inhibition creates vulnerability to ferroptosis that could be exploited through combination with GPX4 inhibitors, enhancing sensitivity to CDK4/6 inhibition in breast cancer.

Daphnetin induces ferroptosis in ovarian cancer by inhibiting NAD(P)H: Quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1)

Project description:Ferroptosis, an emerging nonapoptotic, regulated cell death process distinguished by iron accumulation and subsequent lipid peroxidation, is intricately implicated in the development and progression of multiple cancer types. Here, we aimed to reveal that triggering ferroptosis is a promising treatment strategy for ovarian cancer. In this study, we not only validated that daphnetin caused ferroptosis, but evaluated the effects of daphnetin (and/or cisplatin) in vitro and vivo.Here, we elucidated that daphnetin, a natural product isolated from Daphne Korean Nakai, can exert antitumor effects by inducing the death and suppressing the migration of ovarian cancer cells. Subsequently, transcriptome analysis and ferroptosis inhibitor (Fer-1 and DFO) experiments revealed that there is a close correlation between daphnetin and ferroptosis in ovarian cancer. We further found that daphnetin induced ferroptosis in ovarian cancer cells, as evidenced by the accumulation of intracellular ferrous iron (Fe2+), reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lipid peroxides, as well as the depletion of glutathione (GSH) and ferroptosis indicators (SLC7A11 and GPX4). In particular, daphnetin effectively reduced the mRNA and protein levels of NQO1 (a ubiquitous flavoenzyme), and a high expression level of NQO1 was significantly associated with poor prognosis and ferroptosis resistance in ovarian cancer patients. Furthermore, NQO1 activation markedly attenuated daphnetin-induced cell death, migration and ferroptotic events in vitro and vivo. Interestingly, we also found that treatment with daphnetin, a negative regulator of NQO1, in combination with cisplatin synergistically induced ovarian cancer cell cytotoxicity. This study demonstrated that daphnetin induces ferroptosis by inhibiting NQO1 in ovarian cancer cells. Our findings identified NQO1 as a new daphnetin target and suggested that targeting NQO1 might have therapeutic effects on ovarian cancer.

TRIB3 inhibition by palbociclib sensitizes prostate cancer to ferroptosis via SOX2-mediated SLC7A11 downregulation

Project description:Palbociclib is a CDK4/6 inhibitor approved for the treatment of breast cancer by suppressing cell proliferation. However, monotherapy with palbociclib was discouraging in prostate cancer, calling for a mechanism-based effective therapy. In this study, we reported in prostate cancer that palbociclib is a potent sensitizer of ferroptosis, which is worked out by downregulating the expression of TRIB3, a gene highly expressed in prostate cancer. Specifically, TRIB3 knockdown augmented the response of prostate cancer cells to ferroptosis inducers, whereas, TRIB3 overexpression rescued prostate cancer cells from palbociclib-induced ferroptosis. Mechanistically, TRIB3 inhibition by palbociclib resulted in downregulation of SOX2, which subsequently led to compromised expression of SLC7A11, a cystine/glutamate antiporter that counteracts ferroptosis. Functionally, a combined treatment of palbociclib with ferroptosis inducer significantly suppressed prostate cancer growth in a xenograft tumor model. Together, these results uncover an essential role of TRIB3/SOX2/SLC7A11 axis in palbociclib-induced ferroptosis, suggesting palbociclib a promising targeted therapy in combine with ferroptosis induction for the treatment of prostate cancer.

A vasodilator Oxyfedrine Inhibits Aldehyde Metabolism and thereby Sensitizes Cancer Cells to Glutathione Depleting Agents

Project description:The major antioxidant glutathione (GSH) protects cancer cells from oxidative damage leading to ferroptosis, an iron-dependent cell death. Therapy-resistant cancer cells often manifest high expression of the cystine-glutamate antiporter subunit xCT which enhances cystine uptake leading to GSH synthesis and thereby survive oxidative damage and ferroptosis. The use of GSH-depleting agents including xCT inhibitors might thus be expected to enhance the efficacy of cancer therapy. On the other hand, the efficacy of xCT-targeted therapy depends on the cellular metabolism affecting antioxidant system in cancer cells and metabolic reprograming might reduce the efficacy of cancer therapy using xCT inhibitors. Recently, to overcome the resistance to xCT-targeted therapy, we performed a library screening and identified an oral anesthetics dyclonine (DYC) as a sensitizing drug for xCT inhibitor sulfasalazine (SSZ). However, DYC is a local anesthetic and might not suitable for the systemic administration combined with SSZ in a clinical setting. In this study, we identified a vasodilator oxyfedrine (OXY) which is clinically used in systemic administration also acts as a sensitizing drug to GSH-depleting agents in multiple type of cancer cells. OXY and DYC share the motif required for the covalent inhibition of aldehyde dehydrogenases (ALDHs), and combined treatment with OXY and SSZ induced the accumulation of cytotoxic aldehyde 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) and induce cell death in SSZ-resistant cancer cells. Furthermore, we found that OXY sensitizes cancer cells to radiation therapy which decreases intracellular GSH content. Our findings establish a rationale for repurposing of OXY as a sensitizing drug for xCT-targeted cancer therapy.

Radiotherapy and IFNγ treatment effect on transcriptome in HT1080 cells

Project description:Immune checkpoint blockade is a powerful oncologic treatment modality for a wide variety of human malignancies. Randomized clinical trials are assessing how best to interdigitate this treatment modality with traditional therapies including radiotherapy. A challenge in oncology is to rationally and effectively integrate immunotherapy with traditional modalities including radiotherapy. Here, we demonstrate that radiotherapy induces tumor cell ferroptosis. Ferroptosis agonists augment and ferroptosis antagonists limit radiotherapy efficacy in tumor models. Immunotherapy sensitizes tumors to radiotherapy by promoting tumor cell ferroptosis. Mechanistically, IFN derived from immunotherapy-activated CD8+ T cells and radiotherapy-activated ATM independently, yet synergistically repress SLC7A11, a unit of the glutamate-cystine antiporter xc-, resulting in reduced cystine uptake, enhanced tumor lipid oxidation and ferroptosis, and improved tumor control. Thus, ferroptosis is an unappreciated mechanism and focus for the development of effective combinatorial cancer therapy.

Ferroptosis Induction in Multiple Myeloma Cells Triggers an Epigenomic Stress Response Associated with DNA Repair and Cellular Senescence

Project description:Acquired and primary therapy resistance remain a major hurdle in clinical treatment of multiple myeloma (MM). Despite the availability of broad spectrum anti-cancer drugs, most MM patients eventually relapse and become refractory to current treatments. Therefore, we explored whether therapy-resistant MM cells are sensitive to ferroptosis induction, an iron-catalyzed mode of cell death associated with increased lipid peroxidation. In this study, we exposed glucocorticoid-resistant MM1R and glucocorticoid-sensitive MM1S cells to ferroptosis inducers RSL3 and evaluated their transcriptional changes via RNA sequencing. Compared to untreated controls, ferroptotic RSL3-treated cells displayed a significant upregulation of genes involved in inflammation, kinase signaling, cellular stress, and cell death pathways. Pre-treatment with ferroptosis inhibitor Fer-1 partly reverted these RSL3-induced transcriptional changes and revealed that especially genes involved in metal binding, nuclear receptor signaling, chromatin remodeling, and gene transcription regulation are pivotal for ferroptosis induction. Overall, these findings suggest that ferroptosis effectively targets MM1 cells and that RSL3-mediated ferroptosis triggers similar oxidative stress and cell death pathways in both MM1R and MM1S cells, irrespective of their glucocorticoid-sensitivity status.

A continuous ferroptosis-to-apoptosis landscape identifies ferroptosis biomarkers and repressors for cancer therapy

Project description:Ferroptosis, a cell death pathway driven by lipid peroxidation, is implicated in several human diseases including cancer. Although ferroptosis is entwined with apoptosis, it currently has no characteristic biomarkers or gene signature. In this project we established a continuous phenotypic gradient between ferroptosis and apoptosis and coupled it to transcriptomic and metabolomic landscapes. Omics and mechanistic studies revealed that ferroptosis was associated with enhanced MITF activity, lysosomal function, glutaminolysis, TCA cycle, and activation of ATF4, while its transition into apoptosis was attributed to enhanced ER-stress, ATF4/CHOP switch and PE/PC metabolic shift. The gradual ferroptosis-to-apoptosis transcriptomic landscape was used to generate a unique, unbiased transcriptomic predictor, the Gradient Gene Set (GGS), which classified ferroptosis and apoptosis with high accuracy. Further GGS optimization and datasets analysis of various ferroptotic and apoptotic responses revealed highly specific ferroptosis biomarkers, which were robustly validated in vitro and in vivo. A subset of the GGS was correlated with poor prognosis in breast cancer patients and in PDX models and was found to consist of different ferroptosis repressors, including PDAP1, whose knockdown suppressed breast tumor growth in a mouse model. Collectively, this study highlights molecular switches between ferroptosis and apoptosis, uncovering a highly prognostic predictive ferroptosis gene signature, pointing to a few ferroptosis repressors for targeted breast cancer therapy.

MMD collaborates with ACSL4 and MBOAT7 to promote polyunsaturated phosphatidylinositol remodeling and susceptibility to ferroptosis

Project description:<p>Ferroptosis is a form of regulated cell death with roles in degenerative diseases and cancer. Excessive iron-catalyzed peroxidation of membrane phospholipids, especially those containing the polyunsaturated fatty acid arachidonic acid (AA), is central in driving ferroptosis. Here, we reveal that an understudied Golgi-resident scaffold protein, MMD, promotes susceptibility to ferroptosis in ovarian and renal carcinoma cells in an ACSL4- and MBOAT7-dependent manner. Mechanistically, MMD physically interacts with both ACSL4 and MBOAT7, two enzymes that catalyze sequential steps to incorporate AA in phosphatidylinositol (PI) lipids. Thus, MMD increases the flux of AA into PI, resulting in heightened cellular levels of AA-PI and other AA-containing phospholipid species. This molecular mechanism points to a pro-ferroptotic role for MBOAT7 and AA-PI, with potential therapeutic implications, and reveals that MMD is an important regulator of cellular lipid metabolism.</p>

RIPK4 promotes oxidative stress and ferroptotic death through the downregulation of ACSM1

Project description:One of the most critical axes for cell fate determination is how cells respond to excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS)-oxidative stress. Extensive lipid peroxidation commits cells to death via a distinct cell death paradigm termed ferroptosis. However, the molecular mechanism regulating cellular fates to distinct ROS remains incompletely understood. Through siRNA against human receptor-interacting protein kinases (RIPK) family members, we discovered that RIPK4 is crucial for oxidative stress and ferroptotic death. Upon ROS induction, RIPK4 is rapidly activated and the kinase activity of RIPK4 is indispensable to induce cell death. Specific ablation of RIPK4 in kidney proximal tubules protects mice from acute kidney injury induced by cisplatin and renal ischemia/reperfusion. RNA sequencing revealed the dramatically decreased expression of acyl-CoA synthetase medium-chain (ACSM) family members induced by cisplatin treatment which is compromised in RIPK4 deficient mice. Among these ACSM family members, suppression of ACSM1 strongly augments oxidative stress and ferroptotic cell death with induced expression of ACSL4, an important component for ferroptosis execution. Our lipidome analysis revealed that over-expression of ACSM1 leads to the accumulation of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs), attenuation of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) production, and thereby cellular resistance to ferroptosis. Hence, knock-down ACSM1 re-sensitizes RIPK4 KO cells to oxidative stress and ferroptotic death. In conclusion, RIPK4 is a key player involved in oxidative stress and ferroptotic death, which is potentially important for a broad spectrum of human pathologies. The link between RIPK4-ASCM1 axis to PUFAs and ferroptosis reveals a novel mechanism to oxidative stress induced necrosis and ferroptosis.
