Glycosaminoglycan-driven lipoprotein uptake protects tumours from ferroptosis

ABSTRACT: Lipids are essential components of cancer cells due to their structural and signaling roles. To meet metabolic demands, many cancers take up extracellular lipids; however, how these lipids contribute to cancer growth and progression remains poorly understood. Here, using functional genetic screens, we identify lipoprotein uptake—the primary mechanism for lipid transport in circulation—as a key determinant of ferroptosis sensitivity in cancer. Lipoprotein supplementation robustly inhibits ferroptosis across diverse cancer types, primarily through the delivery of α-tocopherol (α-toc), the most abundant form of vitamin E in human lipoproteins. Mechanistically, cancer cells take up lipoproteins through a pathway dependent on sulfated glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) linked to cell-surface proteoglycans. Disrupting GAG biosynthesis or acutely degrading surface GAGs reduces lipoprotein uptake, sensitizes cancer cells to ferroptosis, and impairs tumour growth in mice. Notably, human clear cell renal cell carcinomas, a lipid-rich malignancy, exhibit elevated levels of chondroitin sulfate and increased lipoprotein-derived α-toc compared to normal kidney tissue. Altogether, our work establishes lipoprotein uptake as a critical anti-ferroptotic mechanism in cancer and implicates GAG biosynthesis as a therapeutic target.

Ferroptotic cell death triggered by conjugated linolenic acids is mediated by ACSL1

Project description:Ferroptosis is associated with lipid hydroperoxides generated by oxidation of polyunsaturated acyl chains. Lipid hydroperoxides are reduced by glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) and GPX4 inhibitors induce ferroptosis. However, the therapeutic potential of triggering ferroptosis in cancer cells with polyunsaturated fatty acids is unknown. We identified conjugated linoleates including α-eleostearic acid (αESA) as novel ferroptosis inducers. αESA did not alter GPX4 activity but was incorporated into cellular lipids and promoted lipid peroxidation and cell death in diverse cancer cell types. αESA-triggered death was mediated by acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain isoform 1, which promoted αESA incorporation into neutral lipids including triacylglycerols. Interfering with triacylglycerol biosynthesis suppressed ferroptosis triggered by αESA but not by GPX4 inhibition. Orally administered tung oil, naturally rich in αESA, limited tumor growth and metastasis with transcriptional changes consistent with ferroptosis. Overall, these findings illuminate a novel approach to ferroptosis, complementary to GPX4 inhibition, with therapeutic potential.

RNA sequence on the fed and fasted state of kidneys in mice

Project description:We studied whether the accumulation of lipids in the fasted kidney are derived from lipoproteins or (non-esterified fatty acids) NEFAs. With overnight fasting, kidneys accumulated triglyceride, but had reduced levels of ceramide and glycosphingolipid species. Fasting led to a nearly 5-fold increase in kidney uptake of plasma [14C]oleic acid. Increasing circulating NEFAs using a β adrenergic receptor agonist caused a 15-fold greater accumulation of lipid in the kidney, while mice with reduced NEFAs due to adipose tissue deficiency of adipose triglyceride lipase had reduced triglycerides. Cluster of differentiation (Cd)36 mRNA increased 2-fold, and angiopoietin-like 4 (Angptl4), an LPL inhibitor, increased 10-fold. Fasting-induced kidney lipid accumulation was not affected by inhibition of LPL with poloxamer 407 or by use of mice with induced genetic LPL deletion. Despite the increase in CD36 expression with fasting, genetic loss of CD36 did not alter fatty acid uptake or triglyceride accumulation. Our data demonstrate that fasting-induced triglyceride accumulation in the kidney correlates with the plasma concentrations of NEFAs, but is not due to uptake of lipoprotein lipids and does not involve the fatty acid transporter, CD36.

High density lipoproteins – a therapeutic target for age-related macular degeneration

Project description:We analyzed Apolipoprotein A-1 (ApoA-1) containing lipoproteins isolated from Bruch’s membrane (BrM) of elderly human donor eyes and found a unique proteome, quite different from HDL isolated from donor plasma of the same individuals. The most striking difference is higher concentrations of ApoB and ApoE, which bind to glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). We hypothesize that this interaction promotes lipoprotein deposition onto BrM GAGs, initiating downstream effects that contribute to RPE dysfunction/death. We tested this hypothesis using two therapeutic strategies to alter the lipoprotein/protein profile of these extracellular deposits. First, we used short, heparan sulfate oligosaccharides to remove lipoproteins already deposited in both the extracellular matrix of RPE cells and in aged, donor BrM tissue. Second, we used an ApoA-1 mimetic, 5A peptide, which modulates the relative amounts of cholesterol and ApoA-1, ApoB, and ApoE secreted both apically and basolaterally from primary porcine RPE cells. Significantly, the 5A peptide altered the proteomic profile of circulating HDL and ameliorated some of the potentially harmful changes in protein composition seen with a high fat, high cholesterol diet in a mouse model of AMD. Together, these results indicate that HDL interactions with BrM represent a viable target to slow AMD progression in humans

Gene expression analysis of human macrophages exposed to lipoprotein lipase hydrolysis products

Project description:Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is an extracellular lipase that preferentially hydrolyses triglycerides in triglyceride-rich lipoproteins within the circulation. LPL expression in macrophages contributes to atherosclerosis. In addition, the hydrolysis products liberated from lipoprotein lipids by LPL causes lipid accumulation and impairs cholesterol efflux ability in macrophages. However, the effects of LPL hydrolysis products in modulating the transcript profiles within macrophages and their roles in foam cell formation are not completely understood. We performed microarray analyses on THP-1 macrophages incubated with LPL hydrolysis products to identify differentially expressed genes.

Patient iPSC-derived neural stem cells display progressive enlargement of lysosomes and disruptions of glycosaminoglycan pathway and autophagy in concordance with clinical severity of Mucopolysaccharidosis I

Project description:Mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPS I) is caused by genetic defects in alpha-L-iduronidase (IDUA), a lysosomal enzyme involved in the breakdown and recycling of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). Although an enzyme replacement therapy is available, the efficacy for the treatment of neuropathic symptoms is limited. To facilitate drug discovery and model disease pathophysiology, we have generated neural stem cells (NSCs) from MPS I patient-derived iPSCs. NSCs exhibited characteristic disease phenotypes with deficiency of alpha-L-iduronidase (IDUA), accumulation of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and enlargement of lysosomes, correlating with the severity of clinical symptoms. Transcriptome profiling of NSCs revealed differential expression of 429 genes that changed more extensively in the more severe Hurler syndrome subgroup compared to the Hurler-Scheie (median severe) and Scheie (less severe) subgroups. Clustering and pathway analyses demonstrated high concordance of the severity of neurological defects with marked dysregulation of GAG biosynthesis and degradation, lysosomal function and extracellular matrix. Gene Ontology (GO) analysis identified a dramatic upregulation of autophagy pathway, especially in the Hurler syndrome. Thus, GAG accumulation in the patient cells disrupts lysosomal homeostasis affecting multiple related cellular pathways which compensates for IDUA deficiency. These dysregulated process likely lead to enhanced autophagy and more severe disease states. Our studies provide useful tools for clinical biomarker development and potential targets for drug development.

To better understand the molecular basis for modulation of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and proteoglycans post-UV exposure

Project description:UV irradiation is a major environmental effector of skin damage and aging. Elevated levels of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), as measured by Hale’s stain, are seen following cutaneous photodamage. Preliminary data from our lab indicates that this is a complex response involving differential regulation of both GAGs and proteoglycans. Recently, different GAG species have been shown to have distinct effects on the recruitment and activation of immune cells and stimulation of cytokine production (Taylor and Gallo, FASEB, 2006; 20: 9-22). We speculate that the elevated GAGs and proteoglycans observed after ultraviolet B (UVB) irradiation are involved in the inflammatory and healing responses to photodamage.

To study glycosaminoglycan (GAG) glycogene expression in cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) skin lesions and normal skin

Project description:Cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) is an autoimmune disease that localizes to the skin and is known to contain elevated glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) on Hale’s stain of skin biopsy specimens. Recently, different GAG species have been shown to have distinct effects on the recruitment and activation of immune cells and stimulation of cytokine production (Taylor and Gallo, FASEB, 2006; 20: 9-22). Thus, we speculate that the elevated GAGs observed in CLE play a role in the local inflammatory process that produces skin lesions in these patients.

Glycosaminoglycan Domain Mapping of cellular chondroitin/dermatan sulfates

Project description:Here we report a simple and versatile approach for domain mapping of complex mixtures of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), GAGDoMa. The approach is based on orthogonal enzymatic depolymerization of the GAGs, generating internal oligosaccharide, non-reducing end, and linkage region GAG domains, nanoflow reversed-phase dibutylamine ion-pairing chromatography and negative mode higher-energy collision dissociation (HCD) MS/MS. GAGDoMa provides a detailed insight into the GAGome, and will be an important tool for the understanding of GAGs in cellular physiology and pathology.

Essential role of Helicobacter pylori apolipoprotein N-acyltransferase (Lnt) in stomach colonization

Project description:Deleting lnt changes the number of acyl chains on lipoproteins and the number of acyl chains on lipoproteins impacts the innate immune response through TLR2 signaling. We treated primary human gastric epithelial cells with a purified lipoprotein from wild-type or lnt mutant H. pylori and performed RNAseq. Differential gene expression analysis indicated lipoprotein from the lnt mutant induced a more robust TLR2 response.

PFOS and PFHxS decrease lipoprotein production

Project description:The effect of perfluoroalkyl sulfonates on lipoprotein metabolism was investigated in APOE*3-Leiden.CETP mice with a humanized lipoprotein profile. Perfluorohexane sulfonate and perfluorooctane sulfonate markedly reduced both plasma TG and TC by decreasing nonHDL-C and HDL-C accompanied by a reduction in apoAI. Mechanistic studies showed that these effects were mainly caused by impaired lipoprotein production. Male E3L.CETP mice on a C57Bl/6 background were fed a Western-type diet, containing 0.25% (w/w) cholesterol, 1% (w/w) corn oil and 14% (w/w) bovine fat (Western-type diet) (Hope Farms, Woerden, The Netherlands) for 4 to 6 weeks in three independent experiments. Upon randomization according to total plasma cholesterol (TC) and TG levels, mice received the Western-type diet without or with PFBS (30 mg/kg/day), PFHxS (6 mg/kg/day) or PFOS (3 mg/kg/day) during 4-6 weeks. The effects of these PFAS on plasma lipids and lipoproteins were determined. In addition, PFAS levels were determined in plasma and livers were isolated for hepatic lipid analysis and hepatic gene expression analysis using an Affymetrix technology platform and Affymetrix GeneChip® mouse genome 430 2.0 arrays.
