Project description:Despite the emerging evidence of ferroptosis implicated in diverse pathological scenarios, molecular adaptors linking its oxidative inducers and chromatin as carrier of stable epigenetic memory for its propagation remain elusive. Here, we report the identification of two WD40 proteins DCAF8 and WDR76 as substrate adaptor and molecular inhibitor respectively of the Cullin-4 RING ubiquitin ligase (CRL4) system for stability control of the chromatin remodeler LSH. Degradation analysis and CRL4-DCAF8 complex reconstitution demonstrate that CRL4DCAF8 is a bona fide E3 ligase for LSH. In contrast, WDR76 antagonizes DCAF8-targeted LSH proteolysis through competitive inhibition of the holo-CRL4DCAF8-LSH complex assembly. Importantly, this opposing regulatory strategy is utilized in lipid hydroperoxide induced ferroptosis, and we identify key redox homeostasis genes significantly regulated by the DCAF8/WDR76/LSH axis through transcriptomic epistasis analysis. Such responsiveness could be attributed to increased ratio of DCAF8 over WDR76 for antagonistic LSH association accompanying ROS overproduction invoked decrease of TET-catalyzed DNA oxidation. Evaluation of epigenetic dynamics at DCAF8/WDR76/LSH-regulated gene promoters reveals linker histone H1- and LSH-associated transcriptional repression is coordinately removed in ferroptosis. Together with phenotypes driven by WDR76 and DCAF8 manipulations, these data identify DCAF8- and WDR76-governed LSH degradation as a crucial node in ferroptosis, tumorigenesis and senescence.

Project description:The heart suffers from a severe loss of cardiomyocyte after myocardial infarction (MI). However, it is not known which type of cell death is the major contributor of the loss of cardiomyocytes. By studying a mouse heart MI model at a regenerative and a non-regenerative stage, we demonstrate that ferroptosis, not apoptosis or necroptosis, is the major contributor to cardiomyocyte death starting at 1 day-post-MI. Intrinsic Pitx2 signaling in cardiomyocyte prevents ferroptosis. Meanwhile, cardiac fibroblasts expressing high level of Fth1 interact with cardiomyocytes to share the iron burden, therefore inhibit cardiomyocyte ferroptosis. Cardiomyocyte Pitx2 also inhibits Tsp1 expression, therefore negatively regulate fibroblast-to-myofibroblast activation to limit fibrosis.

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.

Project description:We conducted a proteomic interactome analysis of well-known regulators of ferroptosis, ACSL4, LPCAT3, ALOX12, ALOX15, PEBP1, NCOA4, GCH1, FSP1, DHODH, SLC7A11, GCLC, GCLM, GSS, and GPX4. Take LPCAT3 as an example, we uncovered an opposing role of its binding protein CEPT1 in suppressing ferroptosis.

Project description:Ferroptosis is a form of regulated cell death driven by the iron-dependent accumulation of oxidized polyunsaturated-fatty-acid-containing phospholipids (PUFA-PLs). Three key molecular features of ferroptosis are peroxidation of PUFA-PLs, accumulation of redox-active ferrous iron, and defective lipid peroxide repair (Dixon and Stockwell, 2019). However, there is currently no reliable way to selectively stain ferroptotic cells in tissue sections to characterize the extent of ferroptosis in animal models of disease and in patient tissue samples. We sought to address this gap by immunizing mice with membranes from lymphoma cells treated with the ferroptosis inducer piperazine erastin (PE), and screening ~4,750 of the resulting monoclonal antibodies generated for their ability to selectively detect cells undergoing ferroptosis. We found that one antibody, termed 3F3 Ferroptotic Membrane Antibody (3F3-FMA), was effective as a selective ferroptosis-staining reagent using immunofluorescence (IF). The antigen of 3F3-FMA was identified by immunoprecipitation and mass spectrometry as the human transferrin receptor 1 protein (TfR1), which imports iron from the extracellular environment into cells. We validated this finding with several additional anti-TfR1 antibodies, and compared them to other potential ferroptosis-detecting reagents via immunofluorescence staining, using fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry. We found that anti-TfR1 and anti-malondialdehyde (MDA) adduct antibodies were effective at reliably staining ferroptotic tumor cells in numerous cell culture and tissue contexts. In summary, these findings suggest that anti-TfR1 antibodies can be used to selectively label cells undergoing ferroptosis.

Project description:Liver cancer is one of the most lethal malignancies with an annual death of over 830,000 cases. Although targeted therapeutic drugs have achieved certain clinical efficacy, only sorafenib and lenvatinib are currently marketed as first-line targeted drugs to treat patients with advanced liver cancer. Therefore, developing more drugs are urgently needed. Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent programmed cell death (PCD) distinct from known PCDs including apoptosis, necrosis, and autophagy. Targeting ferroptosis is recognized as a promising potential therapeutic modality for liver cancer. Activating transcription factor 3 (ATF3) is an important ferroptosis inducer and targeting ATF3 offers a potential means to cancer therapy. In the present study, we reported for the first time a sophoridine derivative 6j with promising anti-liver cancer effects in vitro and in vivo. Compound 6j could induce liver cancer cells ferroptosis by promoting the accumulation of intracellular Fe2+, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and MDA. Inhibition of ferroptosis by ferrostatin-1 alleviated 6j induced accumulation of Fe2+, ROS, and MDA and restored cell viability. Further study revealed that compound 6j upregulated the expression of ATF3 via ER stress and knockdown of ATF3 by RNA interference attenuated 6j induced ferroptosis and cell proliferation inhibition. This study would provide new insights for the design of ferroptosis inducers and the development of anti-liver cancer drugs.

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.
