NCOA4-mediated ferritinophagy is a pancreatic cancer dependency via maintenance of iron bioavailability for iron-sulfur cluster proteins

ABSTRACT: Oncogenic KRAS rewires pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) metabolism to promote dependence on autophagy and iron metabolism. NCOA4-mediated ferritinophagy links autophagy and iron metabolism as NCOA4 selectively targets ferritin, the cellular iron storage complex, via autophagy to the lysosome for ferritin degradation and release of iron for utilization. Using patient-derived and genetically engineered murine models of PDAC we now demonstrate that ferritinophagy is upregulated in PDAC to sustain iron availability thereby promoting PDAC progression. PDAC global quantitative proteomics reveals that ferritinophagy fuels iron-sulfur cluster synthesis to support mitochondrial homeostasis. Targeting NCOA4 leads to tumor growth delay and prolonged survival but with development of compensatory iron acquisition pathways. Finally, a ferritinophagy gain-of-function PDAC murine model demonstrates worse survival, and an elevated ferritinophagy expression signature predicts for worse overall survival in human PDAC patients. Together, our data define NCOA4-mediated ferritinophagy as a therapeutic target in PDAC and reveal that maintenance of cellular iron homeostasis is a critical cell autonomous function of PDAC autophagy.

TANK binding kinase 1 induces transcription factor BACH1 to regulate iron metabolism in pancreatic cancer cells

Project description:BTB and CNC homology 1 (BACH1) represses the expression of genes involved in the metabolism of iron, heme and reactive oxygen species and promotes metastasis of various cancers including pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Knockdown of Tank binding kinase 1 (TBK1) led to reductions of BACH1 mRNA and protein amounts in AsPC-1 human PDAC cells. Gene expression analysis of PDAC cells with knockdown of TBK1 or BACH1 suggested the involvement of TBK1 and BACH1 in the regulation of iron homeostasis. Ferritin was increased upon BACH1 knockdown in AsPC-1 cells. Cytometry analysis showed that AsPC-1 cells with BACH1 knockout or knockdown contained lower labile iron than control cells, suggesting that BACH1 increased labile iron by repressing the expression of ferritin genes.

Tumor suppressor Par-4 activates autophagy-dependent ferroptosis

Project description:Ferroptosis is a unique iron-dependent form of non-apoptotic cell death characterized by devastating lipid peroxidation. Whilst growing evidence suggests that ferroptosis is a type of autophagy-dependent cell death, the underlying molecular mechanisms regulating ferroptosis are largely unknown. In this study, through an unbiased RNA-sequencing screening, we demonstrate the activation of a multi-faceted tumor-suppressor protein Par-4/PAWR during ferroptosis. Functional studies reveal that genetic depletion of Par-4 effectively blocks ferroptosis, whereas Par-4 overexpression sensitizes cells to undergo ferroptosis. More importantly, we have determined that Par-4-triggered ferroptosis is mechanistically driven by the autophagic machinery. Upregulation of Par-4 promotes activation of ferritinophagy (autophagic degradation of ferritin) via the nuclear receptor co-activator 4 (NCOA4), resulting in excessive release of free labile iron and, hence, enhanced lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis. Inhibition of Par-4 dramatically suppresses the NCOA4-mediated ferritinophagy signaling axis. Our results also establish that Par-4 activation positively correlates with reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, which is critical for ferritinophagy-mediated ferroptosis. Furthermore, Par-4 knockdown effectively blocked ferroptosis-mediated tumor suppression in the mouse xenograft models. Collectively, these findings reveal that Par-4 has a crucial role in ferroptosis, which could be further exploited for cancer therapy.

Effect of iron depletion on gene expression of NCOA4-deficient and control HT22 hippocampal neuron cells

Project description:To determine the physiological roles of NCOA4 and NCOA4-mediated ferritinophagy in hippocampal neurons, NCOA4 was depleted using siRNA and desferrioxamine (DFO; 100 µM, 24 h) was added to restrict iron availability. Cells were treated for NCOA4 depletion, iron restriction, or both, and then the transcriptome profiles acquired from RNA-seq were compared with those of control (scramble siRNA-treated) cells.

Second-generation BRAF inhibitor Encorafenib resistance is regulated by NCOA4-mediated iron trafficking in the drug-resistant malignant melanoma cells

Project description:The current study established the first in vitro Encorafenib resistance protocol in BRAF-mutated malignant melanoma (MM) cells and investigated the resistance-related mechanisms. RNA-Seq results exhibited altered epigenetic regulation of resistance; particularly ferritin family members, ion transport pathways. Then, increased NCOA4, FTH1, and iron levels detected in A375-R suggest that the iron metabolism-related mechanism, such as ferritinophagy, might be triggered, which was supported by TEM and oxidative stress analysis. Iron storage, transport, and ferritinophagy have the promising potential to be targeted for combining with BRAF-targeted therapy to reverse Encorafenib resistance in MM. Moreover, this is the first study evaluating in vitro Encorafenib resistance mechanisms, and we suggest that our findings contribute to improving new drug combinations targeting BRAF and iron metabolism in different MM cells.

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.

Ferritinophagy is a Druggable Vulnerability of Quiescent Leukemic Stem Cells [cycling and quiescent fractions]

Project description:Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) remains a challenging hematological malignancy with poor prognosis and limited treatment options. Post-therapy relapse, particularly driven by leukemic stem cells (LSCs), contributes to therapeutic failure and adverse outcome. Here, we investigated the role of quiescence and its associated molecular mechanisms in AML pathogenesis and identified potential vulnerabilities for therapeutic intervention. We found that quiescent AML cells, enriched for LSC functions, exhibited a distinct gene set that served as a significant prognostic factor for poor outcomes in AML patients. Furthermore, quiescent cells displayed heightened autophagic activity, with a reliance on ferritinophagy, a selective form of autophagy mediated by Nuclear Receptor Coactivator 4 (NCOA4), for iron bioavailability. Inhibition of NCOA4 genetically or chemically showed potent anti-leukemic effects, particularly targeting the LSC compartment. These findings uncover that ferritinophagy inhibition may represent a promising therapeutic strategy for patients with AML.

Critical Role of Ferritin-Mediated Iron Homeostasis in the Maintenance of Hematopoietic Stem Cells and Leukemia Stem Cells

Project description:Iron metabolism has emerged as a critical factor in cell viability, both in normal and pathological contexts. However, the intricate relationship between iron metabolism and the maintenance of adult stem cells and cancer stem cells remains incompletely understood. The ferritin complex, responsible for intracellular iron storage and buffering, plays a pivotal role in this process. Our research provides insights into the regulatory role of ferritin-mediated iron homeostasis in hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs).
