ALOX5 deficiency contributes to bladder cancer progression by mediating ferroptosis escape.

ABSTRACT: Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent form of regulated cell death driven by the lethal lipid peroxides. Previous studies have demonstrated that inducing ferroptosis holds great potential in cancer therapy, especially for patients with traditional therapy failure. However, cancer cells can acquire ferroptosis evasion during progression. To date, the therapeutic potential of inducing ferroptosis in bladder cancer (BCa) remains unclear, and whether a ferroptosis escape mechanism exists in BCa needs further investigation. This study verified that low pathological stage BCa cells were highly sensitive to RSL3-induced ferroptosis, whereas high pathological stage BCa cells exhibited obviously ferroptosis resistance. RNA-seq, RNAi-mediated loss-of-function, and CRISPR/Cas9 experiments demonstrated that ALOX5 deficiency was the crucial factor of BCa resistance to ferroptosis in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, we found that ALOX5 deficiency was regulated by EGR1 at the transcriptional level. Clinically, ALOX5 expression was decreased in BCa tissues, and its low expression was associated with poor survival. Collectively, this study uncovers a novel mechanism for BCa ferroptosis escape and proposes that ALOX5 may be a valuable therapeutic target and prognostic biomarker in BCa treatment.

Project description:BackgroundPeriodontitis has emerged as a potential risk factor for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, the precise mechanism through which periodontitis influences the progression of COPD requires further investigation. Ferroptosis is one of the crucial pathogenesis of COPD and recent researches suggested that periodontitis was associated with ferroptosis. Nonetheless, the relationship among periodontitis, COPD and ferroptosis remains unclear. This study aimed to elucidate whether periodontitis contributes to COPD exacerbation and to assess the potential impact of ferroptosis on periodontitis affecting COPD.MethodsThe severity of COPD was assessed using Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining and lung function tests. Iron assays, malondialdehyde (MDA) measurement and RT-qPCR were used to investigate the potential involvement of ferroptosis in the impact of periodontitis on COPD. Co-cultures of periodontitis associated pathogen Phophyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) and lung tissue cells were used to evaluate the effect of P. gingivalis on inducing the ferroptosis of lung tissue via RT-qPCR analysis. Clinical Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid (BALF) samples from COPD patients were collected to further validate the role of ferroptosis in periodontal pathogen-associated COPD.ResultsPeriodontitis aggravated the COPD progression and the promotion was prolonged over time. For the first time, we demonstrated that periodontitis promoted the ferroptosis-associated iron accumulation, MDA contents and gene expressions in the COPD lung with a time-dependent manner. Moreover, periodontitis-associated pathogen P. gingivalis could promote the ferroptosis-associated gene expression in single lung tissue cell suspensions. Clinical BALF sample detection further indicated that ferroptosis played essential roles in the periodontal pathogen-associated COPD.ConclusionPeriodontitis could contribute to the exacerbation of COPD through up-regulating the ferroptosis in the lung tissue.
