Exogenous carbon monoxide promotes GPX4-dependent ferroptosis through ROS/GSK3β axis in non-small cell lung cancer.

ABSTRACT: The gas therapy is drawing increasing attention in the treatment of many diseases including cancer. As one of gas signaling molecules, carbon monoxide (CO) has been proved to exert anti-cancer effects via triggering multiple cell death types, such as autophagy, apoptosis and necrosis. Here, we showed that low concentration CO delivered from CO-releasing molecule 3 (CORM-3) effectively induced ferroptosis, known as a novel proinflammatory programmed cell death, in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, we found that CO triggered ferroptosis by modulating the ROS/GSK3β/GPX4 signaling pathway, resulting in the accumulation of lipid hydroperoxides and the occurrence of ferroptosis. We think our findings provide novel insights into the anti-cancer mechanisms of CO, and suggest that CO could potentially be exploited as a novel ferroptosis inducer for cancer treatment in the future.

Project description:Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a novel class of noncoding RNAs that have emerged as critical regulators and biomarkers in various cancers. Nevertheless, the expression profile and mechanistic function of lncRNAs in cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) remain unclear. Herein, we examined the expression levels of linc00976 in clinical specimens and cell lines using reverse transcription-quantitative PCR. In total, 50 patients with CCA were enrolled to analyze the correlation between linc00976 expression and clinical characteristics of CCA. Loss- and gain-of-function experiments were performed to investigate the biological effects of linc00976 on proliferation, ferroptosis, migration, and invasion of CCA cells in vitro and in vivo. In situ hybridization, RNA immunoprecipitation, bioinformatic databases, RNA pull-down assay, a dual-luciferase reporter assay, mRNA sequencing, chromatin immunoprecipitation-PCR, and rescue experiments were performed to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of linc00976-induced competitive endogenous RNA regulatory networks. We characterized a novel and abundant lncRNA, linc00976, that functions as a pro-oncogenic regulator of CCA progression. Compared with normal controls, linc00976 was dramatically upregulated in CCA tissue samples and cell lines. Patients with CCA exhibiting high linc00976 expression had a highly advanced clinical stage, substantial lymph node metastasis, and poor overall survival. Knockdown of linc00976 significantly repressed proliferation and metastasis and promoted ferroptosis of CCA cells both in vitro and in vivo, whereas linc00976 overexpression exerted the opposite effect. Mechanistically, linc00976 competitively interacted with miR-3202 to upregulate GPX4 expression, thus contributing to the malignant biological behavior of CCA cells. Moreover, we demonstrated that JUND specifically interacts with the linc00976 promoter and activates linc00976 transcription. Accordingly, JUND promotes linc00976 transcription, and linc00976 plays a crucial role in accelerating CCA tumorigenesis and metastasis and inhibiting ferroptosis by modulating the miR-3202/GPX4 axis. These findings suggest that targeting linc00976 may afford a promising therapeutic strategy for patients with CCA.

Project description:BackgroundIntestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury occurs in acute intestinal obstruction, intussusception, acute mesenteric artery embolism, and other diseases and can lead to local intestinal necrosis, distant organ involvement, or systemic reactions, with high morbidity and mortality. Ferroptosis plays a crucial role in intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury, and inhibition of ferroptosis may provide new approaches for treating the disease. SIRT3 protects cells from oxidative stress and may be involved in the process of ferroptosis. We hypothesized that resveratrol, an agonist of SIRT3, could ameliorate intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury by compensating the GSH/GPX4 pathway.MethodsIntestinal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) and Caco-2 hypoxia-reoxygenation models were established. Transmission electron microscopy was used to assess mitochondrial function; the Chiu's score was used to evaluate the degree of intestinal mucosal injury based on HE staining; and Western blot was used to detect the SIRT3/FoxO3a pathway, tight junction proteins and ferroptosis-related protein expression. Sirt3-/- C57, shSIRT3-Caco-2 cells and siFoxO3a-Caco-2 cells were established. C11-BODIPY was used to detect lipid peroxide in cells; FD4 and IFABP were used to detect intestinal permeability; MitoSOX was used to detect ROS levels; and MitoTracker and immunofluorescence colocalization were used to detect SIRT3 levels.ResultsIn the intestinal I/R model, I/R injury occurs mainly during the reperfusion period and leads to ferroptosis through the GSH/GPX4 pathway. Resveratrol could reduce ferroptosis and ameliorate I/R injury by activating SIRT3. In Sirt3-/- mice, more intestinal mucosal cells underwent ferroptosis, I/R injury was more severe, and resveratrol lost the ability to ameliorate I/R injury. In addition, hypoxia-reoxygenation increased RSL3-induced ferroptosis sensitivity in Caco-2 cells in vitro. In the presence of shSIRT3 or RSL3 alone, resveratrol could ameliorate Caco-2 ferroptosis, but not RSL3-induced shSIRT3-Caco-2 ferroptosis. Furthermore, resveratrol might activate the SIRT3/FoxO3a pathway, increase the expression of SOD2 and catalase, and inhibit ROS generation, thus reducing lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis.ConclusionTo date, this is the first study to show that resveratrol ameliorates intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury by activating SIRT3 and reducing ferroptosis. Resveratrol can reduce intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury by activating the SIRT3/FoxO3a pathway, increasing the expression of SOD2 and catalase, reducing ROS and LPO production, compensating for the GSH/GPX4 pathway and inhibiting ferroptosis. Resveratrol increases the expression of SOD2 and catalase, reduces the production of ROS and LPO, compensates for the GSH/GPX4 pathway and inhibits ferroptosis by activating the SIRT3/FoxO3a pathway.
