Project description:Aims: Myocardial ischemia–reperfusion (I/R) injury severely facilitates cardiomyocyte death and endangers human health. RNA N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methylation modification plays a critical role in cardiovascular diseases. M6A reader YTHDF2 could identify m6a-modified RNA and promote target RNA degradation. Hence, we hypothesized that YTHDF2 impacts I/R injury by regulating RNA stability, in turn revealing the potential regulatory mechanism. Results: Both the mRNA and protein levels of YTHDF2 were upregulated in I/R mice and hypoxia-reoxygenation (H/R)-induced cardiomyocytes. Silencing endogenous YTHDF2 abrogated cardiac dysfunction and lowered infarct size in I/R mice, and forced expression of YTHDF2 aggravated the above-mentioned adverse pathological process. Consistently, the protective effect of silencing YTHDF2 reappeared in cardiomyocytes induced by H/R and erastin. Furthermore, RNA-seq and RIP revealed that YTHDF2 could recognize the m6A modification sites of ferroptosis-related gene SLC7A11 mRNA to promote its degradation both in vivo and in vitro. Inhibition of SLC7A11 also aggravated cardiac function, infarct size and the release of LDH in I/R mice after silencing YTHDF2. The advantageous effect of si-YTHDF2 in H/R injury was reversed by cotransfection with si-SLC7A11, which substantially exacerbated ferroptosis and the production of ROS. Innovation and Conclusion: All of the obtained data demonstrate that the cardioprotective effects of silencing YTHDF2 are accomplished by enhancing SLC7A11 stability and expression and reducing the level of ferroptosis, furnishing novel potential therapeutic targets for treating ischemic cardiac diseases.

Project description:Background: Mucosal melanoma (MM) is epidemiologically, biologically, and molecularly distinct from cutaneous melanoma. Current treatment strategies have failed to significantly improve the prognosis for MM patients. This study aims to identify therapeutic targets and develop combination strategies by investigating the mechanisms underlying the tumorigenesis and progression of MM. Methods: We analyzed the copy number amplification of EZH2 in 547 melanoma patients and investigated its correlation with clinical prognosis. Utilizing cell lines, organoids, and patient-derived xenograft models, we assessed the impact of EZH2 on cell proliferation and sensitivity to ferroptosis. Further, we explored the mechanisms of ferroptosis resistance associated with EZH2 by conducting RNA sequencing and chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing. Results: EZH2 copy number amplification was closely associated with malignant phenotype and poor prognosis in MM patients. EZH2 was essential for MM cell proliferation in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, genetic perturbation of EZH2 rendered MM cells sensitized to ferroptosis. Combination treatment of EZH2 inhibitor with ferroptosis inducer significantly inhibited the growth of MM. Mechanistically, EZH2 inhibited the expression of KLF14, which binds to the promoter of SLC7A11 to repress its transcription. Loss of EZH2 therefore reduced the expression of SLC7A11, leading to reduced intracellular SLC7A11-dependent glutathione synthesis to promote ferroptosis. Conclusion: Our findings not only establish EZH2 as a biomarker for MM prognosis, but also highlight the EZH2-KLF14-SLC7A11 axis as a potential target for MM treatment.

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.

Project description:Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common and life-threatening condition associated with cell death, where ferroptosis plays a critical role. Chemerin, primarily produced in white adipose tissue, has multiple biological functions in renal pathophysiology. However, to date, whether and how chemerin regulates the progression of AKI remain unclear. Here, we found that chemerin expression was reduced in both AKI model mice and cells. Similarly, serum chemerin levels were also decreased in AKI patients. The administration of recombinant chemerin improves renal function in ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) model mice. Chemerin significantly attenuates ferroptosis in kidneys. In TCMK-1 cells, chemerin knockdown further aggravates ferroptosis. Mechanistically, chemerin activates AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), which induces the phosphorylation of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2) in renal tubular cells. Subsequently, NRF2 translocates into the nucleus, where it stimulates the expression of cystine/glutamate antiporter solute carrier (SLC7A11). As a result, cystine uptake and glutathione (GSH) biosynthesis in renal tubular cells were increased, which confers cells with higher capacity against ferroptosis. Overall, our findings indicate that chemerin plays a protective role in AKI by repressing ferroptosis in renal tubular cells, which is likely due to the activation in the AMPK/NRF2/SLC7A11 axis.

Project description:Lung ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is a common clinical pathology associated with high mortality. The pathophysiology of lung I/R injury involves ferroptosis and elevated protein O-GlcNAcylation levels, while the effect of O-GlcNAcylation on lung I/R injury remains unclear. This research aimed to explore the effect of O-GlcNAcylation on reducing ferroptosis in pulmonary epithelial cells caused by I/R. First, we identified O-GlcNAc transferase 1 (Ogt1) as a differentially expressed gene in lung epithelial cells of acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS) patients, using single-cell sequencing, and Gene Ontology analysis (GO analysis) revealed the enrichment of the ferroptosis process. We found a time-dependent dynamic alteration in lung O-GlcNAcylation during I/R injury. Proteomics analysis identified the differentially expressed proteins enriched in ferroptosis and multiple redox-related pathways based on KEGG annotation. Thus, we generated Ogt1-conditional knockout mice and found that Ogt1 deficiency aggravated ferroptosis, as evidenced by lipid reactive oxygen species (lipid ROS), malondialdehyde (MDA), Fe2+, as well as alterations in critical protein expression glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) and solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11). Consistently, we found that elevated O-GlcNAcylation inhibited ferroptosis sensitivity in hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) injury-induced TC-1 cells via O-GlcNAcylated NF-E2-related factor-2 (Nrf2). Furthermore, both the chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay and the dual-luciferase reporter assay indicated that Nrf2 could bind with translation start site (TSS) of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) and promote its transcriptional activity. As an important rate-limiting enzyme in the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP), elevated G6PDH provided a mass of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) to improve the redox state of glutathione (GSH) and eventually led to ferroptosis resistance. Rescue experiments proved that Nrf2 knockdown or Nrf2-T334A (O-GlcNAcylation site) mutation abolished the protective effect of ferroptosis resistance. In summary, we revealed that O-GlcNAcylation could protect against I/R lung injury by reducing ferroptosis sensitivity via the Nrf2/G6PDH pathway. Our work will provide a new basis for clinical therapeutic strategies for pulmonary ischemia-reperfusion-induced acute lung injury.

Project description:Background: Autologous fat grafting is hampered by unpredictable graft survival, which is potentially regulated by ferroptosis. Glutathione (GSH), a powerful antioxidant used in tissue preservation, has ferroptosis-regulating activity; however, its effects on fat grafts are unclear. This study investigated the effects and mechanisms of GSH in fat graft survival. Methods: Human lipoaspirates were transplanted subcutaneously into the backs of normal saline-treated (control) or GSH-treated nude mice. Graft survival was evaluated by magnetic resonance imaging and histology. RNA sequencing was performed to identify differentially expressed genes and enriched pathways. GSH activity was evaluated in vitro using an oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD) model of adipose-derived stem cells. Results: Compared with control group, GSH induced better outcomes, including superior graft retention, appearance, and histological structures. RNA sequencing suggested enhanced negative regulation of ferroptosis in the GSH-treated grafts, which showed reduced lipid peroxides, better mitochondrial ultrastructure, and SLC7A11/GPX4 axis activation. In vitro, OGD-induced ferroptosis was ameliorated by GSH, which restored cell proliferation, reduced oxidative stress, and upregulated ferroptosis defense factors. Conclusions: Our study confirms that ferroptosis participates in regulating fat graft survival and that GSH exerts a protective effect by inhibiting ferroptosis. GSH-assisted lipotransfer is a promising therapeutic strategy for future clinical application.

Project description:Compared to the well-established roles of apoptosis in tumor suppression, the roles and regulatory mechanisms of ferroptosis, a non-apoptotic form of cell death, in tumor biology remain much less understood. BRCA1-associated protein 1 (BAP1) encodes a nuclear de-ubiquitinating (DUB) enzyme to reduce histone 2A ubiquitination (H2Aub) on chromatin, and is a tumor suppressor in several human cancers. Here, integrated transcriptomic, epigenomic, and cancer genomic analyses link BAP1 to metabolism-related biological processes, including oxidative stress response, and identify cystine transporter SLC7A11 as a BAP1-repressed target gene with high relevance to BAP1-mediated tumor suppression in human cancers. Functional studies reveal that BAP1, in a DUB-dependent manner, decreases H2Aub occupancy on the SLC7A11 promoter and represses SLC7A11 expression, and that BAP1 inhibits cystine uptake and promotes ferroptosis through repressing SLC7A11 expression. Finally, we show that BAP1 inhibits tumor development partly through SLC7A11, and that cancer-associated BAP1 mutants lose their abilities to repress SLC7A11 and to promote ferroptosis. Together, the results of our study show that BAP1 executes its tumor suppression function at least partly through its regulation of SLC7A11 and ferroptosis, and uncover a previously unappreciated mechanism coupling ferroptosis to tumor suppression.
