Cannabichromene: Integrative modulation of apoptosis, ferroptosis, and endocannabinoid signaling in pancreatic cancer therapy

ABSTRACT: Cannabichromene (CBC: C21H3O2, M.W.: 314.46 g) is a non-psychotropic phytocannabinoid derived from Cannabis sativa (Hemp) and has been increasing attention for its potential therapeutic properties. CBC has demonstrated strong anti-inflammatory effects in animal models with edema through non-CB receptor mechanisms; however, there are still required on pharmacological studies in cancer models. In this study, we investigated the molecular mechanisms on anti-cancer activity of CBC in human pancreatic cancer cells. Through mRNA-seq analysis, we observed that many genes involved in cell death pathways were upregulated and also downregulated by CBC treatment, including ferroptosis-related genes such as HMOX1. We confirmed the functional validation of apoptosis and ferroptosis induction following CBC treatment using a variety of molecular assays. In addition, we found that CBC treatment preferentially increased the expression of TRPV1 and CB2 receptors. The cell death was reversed by inhibitor treatment on TRPV1 and CB2, suggesting that receptor expression is necessary for induction of apoptotic cell death. Finally, we confirmed the consistent regulation on apoptosis, ferroptosis, and the endocannabinoid receptors during tumor growth inhibition by CBC treatment in in-vivo xenograft models. Therefore, we propose that CBC exhibits pharmacological activity via integrative modulation for multiple cell death pathways in the pancreatic cancer therapy.

Daphnetin induces ferroptosis in ovarian cancer by inhibiting NAD(P)H: Quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1)

Project description:Ferroptosis, an emerging nonapoptotic, regulated cell death process distinguished by iron accumulation and subsequent lipid peroxidation, is intricately implicated in the development and progression of multiple cancer types. Here, we aimed to reveal that triggering ferroptosis is a promising treatment strategy for ovarian cancer. In this study, we not only validated that daphnetin caused ferroptosis, but evaluated the effects of daphnetin (and/or cisplatin) in vitro and vivo.Here, we elucidated that daphnetin, a natural product isolated from Daphne Korean Nakai, can exert antitumor effects by inducing the death and suppressing the migration of ovarian cancer cells. Subsequently, transcriptome analysis and ferroptosis inhibitor (Fer-1 and DFO) experiments revealed that there is a close correlation between daphnetin and ferroptosis in ovarian cancer. We further found that daphnetin induced ferroptosis in ovarian cancer cells, as evidenced by the accumulation of intracellular ferrous iron (Fe2+), reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lipid peroxides, as well as the depletion of glutathione (GSH) and ferroptosis indicators (SLC7A11 and GPX4). In particular, daphnetin effectively reduced the mRNA and protein levels of NQO1 (a ubiquitous flavoenzyme), and a high expression level of NQO1 was significantly associated with poor prognosis and ferroptosis resistance in ovarian cancer patients. Furthermore, NQO1 activation markedly attenuated daphnetin-induced cell death, migration and ferroptotic events in vitro and vivo. Interestingly, we also found that treatment with daphnetin, a negative regulator of NQO1, in combination with cisplatin synergistically induced ovarian cancer cell cytotoxicity. This study demonstrated that daphnetin induces ferroptosis by inhibiting NQO1 in ovarian cancer cells. Our findings identified NQO1 as a new daphnetin target and suggested that targeting NQO1 might have therapeutic effects on ovarian cancer.

RNA-seq of human pancreatic cancer cell line PANC-1 treated with RSL-3, N6F11, Fin56 and Erastin against untreated controls

Project description:Ferroptotic cell death is dependent on unrestricted lipid peroxidation rather than activation of apoptotic effector caspases. A large number of ferroptosis activators have been reported recently. We used gene sequencing to analyze the effects of four ferroptosis activators (RSL3, N6F11, Fin56 and Erastin) on global gene expression in human PDAC1 cell line.

Metabolic consequences of erastin-induced ferroptosis in human ovarian cancer cells

Project description:Ovarian cancer has been difficult to cure due to acquired or intrinsic resistance Q10 and therefore, newer or more effective drugs/approaches are needed for a successful treatment in the clinic. Erastin (ER), a ferroptosis inducer, kills tumor cells by generating and accumulating reactive oxygen species (ROS) within the cell, resulting in an iron-dependent oxidative damage-mediated ferroptotic cell death. We have utilized human ovarian cancer cell lines, OVCAR- 8 and its adriamycin-selected, multi-drug resistance protein (MDR1)-expressing NCI/ADR-RES, both equally sensitive to ER, to identify metabolic biomarkers of ferroptosis. Our studies showed that ER treatment rapidly depleted cellular glutathione and cysteine and enhanced formation of ophthalamate (OPH) in both cells. Opthalalmate has been proposed to be a biomarker of oxidative stress in cells. Our study also found significant decreases in cellular taurine, a natural antioxidant in cells. Additionally, we found that ER treatment decreased cellular levels of NAD+/NADP+, carnitines and glutamine/glutamate in both cells, suggesting significant oxidative stress, decrease in energy production, and cellular and mitochondrial disfunctions, leading to cell death. Our studies identified several potential biomarkers of ER-induced ferroptosis including OPH, taurine, NAD+, NADP+ and glutamate in ovarian cancer cells. Identifying specific metabolic biomarkers that are predictive of whether a cancer is susceptible to ferroptosis will help us devise more successful treatment modalities.

GCLM lactylation mediated by ACAT2 promotes ferroptosis resistance in KRASG12D-mutant cancer

Project description:KRAS mutation activates multiple intracellular signalling pathways, leading to tumour development and progression. However, whether KRAS mutations are involved in regulating ferroptosis in cancer and the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Here, we constructed stable KRASWT and KRASG12D-mutant cell lines by transfecting wild-type (WT) or G12D plasmids into original KRAS WT cells and detected their cell viability under the treatment of ferroptosis inducer RSL3 or erastin. We found compared with WT cells, KRASG12D-mutated pancreatic and colorectal cancer cells presented greater viability and less cell death, along with lower levels of lipid peroxidation (LPO) and fewer damaged mitochondria, suggesting that the G12D mutation confers resistance to ferroptosis. Moreover, we found that KRASG12D mutated cancer cells demonstrated increased glycolysis and elevated lactate production, which was dependent on MEK-ERK-mediated L-lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA) phosphorylation. Importantly, lactate supplementation in WT cells also resulted in ferroptosis resistance, indicating that G12D mutation-induced resistance to ferroptosis may be linked to lactate production. Mechanistically, G12D mutation-derived lactate accumulation induces Glutamate-cysteine ligase modifier (GCLM) lactylation, a process catalysed by Acetyl-CoA Acetyltransferase 2 (ACAT2). Inhibition of GCLM lactylation either through the mutation of the lactylation site or by knockdown of ACAT2 diminished the enzymatic activity of Glutamate-cysteine ligase (GCL) and suppressed Glutathione (GSH) synthesis. Ultimately, we found that ACAT2 knockdown can overcomes ferroptosis resistance in G12D-mutated cancer models in vivo. Thus, our study reveals a novel role for the G12D mutation in regulating GCLM lactylation and ferroptosis. Targeting GCLM lactylation may represent a promising strategy for overcoming ferroptosis resistance.

IGF2BP3 enhances ferroptosis resistance in colon cancer by stabilizing SLC7A11 mRNA and is regulated by miR-98-5p

Project description:Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most prevalent malignancies worldwide, with increasing incidence and mortality rates. Resistance to cell death is a hallmark of cancer, and ferroptosis, a form of non-apoptotic cell death, has emerged as a critical factor in tumor suppression. The RNA-binding protein IGF2BP3, which plays a significant role in colon cancer progression, has been shown to modulate various oncogenic processes. However, its involvement in ferroptosis regulation in colon cancer remains largely unexplored. This study investigates the role of IGF2BP3 in ferroptosis regulation and its potential as a therapeutic target in colon cancer. Our data show that IGF2BP3 is upregulated in colon cancer tissues and correlates with poor prognosis. Knockdown of IGF2BP3 in colon cancer cell lines enhances sensitivity to ferroptosis induction, evidenced by increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, which are reversed by the ferroptosis inhibitor ferrostatin-1. Mechanistically, IGF2BP3 regulates ferroptosis by stabilizing SLC7A11 mRNA, a key ferroptosis regulator, through its interaction with the mRNA. Additionally, miR-98-5p directly targets IGF2BP3, enhancing ferroptosis sensitivity. In vivo studies confirm that IGF2BP3 knockdown suppresses tumor growth, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target. Overall, our findings suggest that IGF2BP3 plays a pivotal role in regulating ferroptosis in colon cancer, offering new avenues for therapeutic strategies in colon cancer treatment.

Ferroptosis Induction in Multiple Myeloma Cells Triggers an Epigenomic Stress Response Associated with DNA Repair and Cellular Senescence

Project description:Acquired and primary therapy resistance remain a major hurdle in clinical treatment of multiple myeloma (MM). Despite the availability of broad spectrum anti-cancer drugs, most MM patients eventually relapse and become refractory to current treatments. Therefore, we explored whether therapy-resistant MM cells are sensitive to ferroptosis induction, an iron-catalyzed mode of cell death associated with increased lipid peroxidation. In this study, we exposed glucocorticoid-resistant MM1R and glucocorticoid-sensitive MM1S cells to ferroptosis inducers RSL3 and evaluated their transcriptional changes via RNA sequencing. Compared to untreated controls, ferroptotic RSL3-treated cells displayed a significant upregulation of genes involved in inflammation, kinase signaling, cellular stress, and cell death pathways. Pre-treatment with ferroptosis inhibitor Fer-1 partly reverted these RSL3-induced transcriptional changes and revealed that especially genes involved in metal binding, nuclear receptor signaling, chromatin remodeling, and gene transcription regulation are pivotal for ferroptosis induction. Overall, these findings suggest that ferroptosis effectively targets MM1 cells and that RSL3-mediated ferroptosis triggers similar oxidative stress and cell death pathways in both MM1R and MM1S cells, irrespective of their glucocorticoid-sensitivity status.

Inhibition of GPX4 enhances CDK4/6 inhibitor activity in breast cancer.

Project description:CDK4/6 inhibition is the standard of care for estrogen receptor positive (ER+) breast cancer, although cytostasis is frequently observed, and new treatment strategies that enhance efficacy are required. We performed a genome-wide CRISPR screen to identify genetic determinants of CDK4/6 inhibitors sensitivity. Multiple genes involved in oxidative stress and ferroptosis modulated palbociclib sensitivity. Depletion or inhibition of GPX4 increased sensitivity to palbociclib in ER+ breast cancer models, and sensitised triple negative breast cancer models to palbociclib, with GPX4 null xenografts being highly sensitive to palbociclib. Palbociclib induced oxidative stress and disordered lipid metabolism with lipid peroxidation, leading to a ferroptosis-sensitive state. Lipid peroxidation relied on a peroxisome AGPAT3-dependent pathway in ER+ breast cancer models, rather than the classical ACSL4 pathway. Our data demonstrate that CDK4/6 inhibition creates vulnerability to ferroptosis that could be exploited through combination with GPX4 inhibitors, enhancing sensitivity to CDK4/6 inhibition in breast cancer.

CD8+ T cells regulate tumor ferroptosis during cancer immunotherapy

Project description:CD8+ T cells activated by cancer immunotherapy execute tumor clearance mainly by inducing cell death through perforin-granzyme- and Fas/Fas ligand-pathways. Ferroptosis is a form of cell death that differs from apoptosis and results from iron-dependent lipid peroxide accumulation. Although it was mechanistically illuminated in vitro, emerging evidence has shown that ferroptosis may be implicated in a variety of pathological scenarios. However, the involvement of ferroptosis in T cell immunity and cancer immunotherapy is unknown. Here, we find that immunotherapy-activated CD8+ T cells enhance ferroptosis-specific lipid peroxidation in tumor cells, and in turn, increased ferroptosis contributes to the anti-tumor efficacy of immunotherapy. Mechanistically, IFNg released from CD8+ T cells downregulates expression of SLC3A2 and SLC7A11, two subunits of glutamate-cystine antiporter system xc-, restrains tumor cell cystine uptake, and as a consequence, promotes tumor cell lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis. In preclinical models, depletion of cyst(e)ine by cyst(e)inase in combination with checkpoint blockade synergistically enhances T cell-mediated anti-tumor immunity and induces tumor cell ferroptosis. Thus, T cell-promoted tumor ferroptosis is a novel anti-tumor mechanism. Targeting tumor ferroptosis pathway constitutes a therapeutic approach in combination with checkpoint blockade.

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.
