Project description:Ferroptosis is a regulated form of necrotic cell death caused by an iron-dependent accumulation of oxidized phospholipids in cellular membranes, which culminates in plasma membrane rupture (PMR) and cell lysis. PMR is also a hallmark of other types of programmed necrosis, such as pyroptosis and necroptosis, where it is initiated by dedicated pore-forming cell death executors. Yet, whether ferroptosis-associated PMR is actively executed by a protein or driven by osmotic pressure remains unknown. Here, we investigated the role of ninjurin-1 (NINJ1), the recently identified executor of pyroptosis-associated PMR, in ferroptosis. We report that during ferroptosis NINJ1 oligomerizes and that Ninj1-deficiency protects macrophages and fibroblasts from ferroptosis-associated PMR. Mechanistically, we find that NINJ1 is dispensable for the early steps of ferroptosis, such as lipid peroxidation, channel-mediated calcium influx and cell swelling. By contrast, NINJ1 is required for early loss of plasma membrane integrity, an event that precedes complete PMR. Furthermore, NINJ1 mediates the release of cytosolic proteins and danger-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) from ferroptotic cells, suggesting that targeting NINJ1 could be a therapeutic option to reduce ferroptosis-associated inflammation.

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.

Project description:Immunogenic cell death (ICD) inducers are valuable chemotherapeutic agents that elicit protective immune responses against tumors. However, the specific molecular targets directly associated with ICD remain less explored. Here, a Type II ICD inducer, Pt-ER, was validated as a bona fide ICD inducer with the ability to establish protection against colorectal cancer. Based on Pt-ER, several ICD-inducing photoactivable probes were designed to capture their potential targets. By integrating quantitative proteomics analysis, genetic method and biochemical assays, we identified that PTP1B is a direct target of Pt-ER and engages in ICD.

Project description:The induction of immunogenic cell death (ICD) impedes tumor progression via both tumor cell-intrinsic and -extrinsic mechanisms, representing a robust therapeutic strategy. However, ICD-targeted therapy remains to be explored and optimized. Through kinome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 screen, NUAK1 is identified as a potential target. The ICD-provoking effect of NUAK1 inhibition depends on the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), consequent to the downregulation of NRF2-mediated antioxidant gene expression. Moreover, the mevalonate pathway/cholesterol biosynthesis, activated by XBP1s downstream of ICD-induced endoplasmic reticulum stress, functions as a negative feedback mechanism. Targeting the mevalonate pathway with CRISPR knockout or HMGCR inhibitor simvastatin amplifies NUAK1 inhibition-mediated ICD and antitumor activity, while cholesterol dampers ROS, ICD and therefore tumor suppression. The combination of NUAK1 inhibitor and statin enhances the efficacy of anti-PD-1 therapy. Collectively, our study unveils the promise of blocking the mevalonate-cholesterol pathway in conjunction with ICD-targeted immunotherapy.

Targeting the mevalonate pathway using HMGCR inhibitor statins amplifies NUAK1 inhibition-mediated ICD and antitumor activity, while cholesterol mitigates ICD by diminishing ROS. The combination of NUAK1 inhibitors and statins enhances the efficacy of anti-PD-1 therapy. Collectively, our study unveils the promise of blocking the mevalonate pathway in conjunction with ICD-targeted immunotherapies such as NUAK1 inhibition.

Project description:Immunogenic cell death (ICD) in cancer represents a functionally unique therapeutic response that can induce tumor-targeting immune responses. ICD is characterized by the exposure and release of numerous damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), which confer adjuvanticity to dying cancer cells. The spatiotemporally defined emission of DAMPs during ICD has been well described; whereas the epigenetic mechanisms that regulate ICD hallmarks have not yet been deeply elucidated. Here, we aimed to examine the involvement of miRNAs and their putative targets taking advantage from well-established in vitro models of ICD. To this end, B cell lymphoma (Mino) and breast cancer (MDA-MB-231) cell lines were exposed to two different ICD inducers: the combination of retinoic acid (RA) and interferon-alpha (IFN-a) and doxorubicin, and to non ICD inducers like gamma irradiation. Then, miRNA and mRNA profiles were studied by next generation sequencing. Co-expression analysis identified 16 miRNAs differentially modulated in cells subjected to ICD. Integrated miRNA-mRNA functional analysis revealed candidate miRNAs, mRNAs, and modulated pathways associated with Immune System Process (GO Term). In this sense, ICD induced a distinctive transcriptional signature hallmarked by regulation of antigen presentation, a crucial step for a proper immune system antitumor response activation. Interestingly, the major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I) pathway was upregulated whereas class II (MHC-II) was downregulated. Analysis of MHC-II associated transcripts and HLA-DR surface expression validated the inhibition of this pathway by ICD on lymphoma cells. miR-4284 and miR-212-3p were the strongest miRNAs upregulated by ICD associated with this event. It is well known that MHC-II expression on tumor cells facilitates the recruitment of CD4+ T cells. However, the interaction between tumor MHC-II and the inhibitory co-receptor LAG-3 on tumor-associated lymphocytes could provide an immunosuppressive signal that directly represses effector cytotoxic activity. In this context, MHC-II downregulation by ICD could enhance antitumor immunity. Overall, we found that the miRNA profile was significantly altered during ICD. Several miRNAs are predicted to be involved in the regulation of Class I and II MHC pathway, whose implication in ICD was demonstrated herein for the first time, which could eventually modulate tumor recognition and attack by the immune system.

Project description:Liver carcinogenesis induced by DEN closely mimics the pathologies observed during human liver tumor initiation and progression. DEN treatment triggered c-Jun expression lasting up to at least 1 week in mouse livers as measured by Western blots and immunohistochemical staining. DEN-induced liver tumorigenesis was also dramatically reduced in Alfp-cre+/c-jun f/f mice, in which c-Jun is constitutively deleted in hepatocytes around birth. These data unambiguously demonstrate that c-Jun is specifically required during liver cancer initiation. We searched for cell death effectors downstream of c-Jun operating in cancer initiation. Expression profiling revealed that several cell death-associated genes were deregulated by comparing Alfp-cre+/c-junf/f and Alfp-cre-/c-jun f/f livers. Mouse livers were collected before and 48hours after diethylnitrosamine treament (100mg/kg body weight). Whole genome expression profiles were analyzed using total RNAs extracted from the whole liver samples. By comparison of the gene expression profiles of these samples, genes with significantly altered expression levels will be selected and further characterized for their roles in DEN-induce liver cell death in tumor initiation.
