Project description:Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common and life-threatening condition associated with cell death, where ferroptosis plays a critical role. Chemerin, primarily produced in white adipose tissue, has multiple biological functions in renal pathophysiology. However, to date, whether and how chemerin regulates the progression of AKI remain unclear. Here, we found that chemerin expression was reduced in both AKI model mice and cells. Similarly, serum chemerin levels were also decreased in AKI patients. The administration of recombinant chemerin improves renal function in ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) model mice. Chemerin significantly attenuates ferroptosis in kidneys. In TCMK-1 cells, chemerin knockdown further aggravates ferroptosis. Mechanistically, chemerin activates AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), which induces the phosphorylation of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2) in renal tubular cells. Subsequently, NRF2 translocates into the nucleus, where it stimulates the expression of cystine/glutamate antiporter solute carrier (SLC7A11). As a result, cystine uptake and glutathione (GSH) biosynthesis in renal tubular cells were increased, which confers cells with higher capacity against ferroptosis. Overall, our findings indicate that chemerin plays a protective role in AKI by repressing ferroptosis in renal tubular cells, which is likely due to the activation in the AMPK/NRF2/SLC7A11 axis.

Project description:Here, through genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 screenings, we identified GAS41, a well-known histone reader as a major repressor for ferroptosis. GAS41 interacts with NRF2 and is critical for NRF2 to activate its targets such as SLC7A11 for modulating ferroptosis. By recognizing the H3K27-acetylation (H3K27-ac) marker, GAS41 is recruited to the SLC7A11 promoter independent of NRF2 binding. Notably, by bridging the interaction between NRF2 and the H3K27-ac marker, GAS41 acts as an anchor for NRF2 on chromatin in a promoter-specific manner for transcriptional activation. Moreover, the GAS41-mediated effect on ferroptosis contributes significantly to its oncogenic role in vivo. These data demonstrate that GAS41 is an important target for modulating tumor growth through ferroptosis. Our study reveals a previously unanticipated mechanism for GAS41-mediated regulation in transcription by anchoring NRF2 on chromatin and provides a model that the DNA binding activity on chromatin by transcriptional factors (NRF2) can be directly regulated by histone markers (H3K27-ac).

Project description:Ulcerative colitis (UC), a form of inflammatory bowel disease, is characterized by a Q7 recurrent and persistent nonspecific inflammatory response. Polydatin (PD), a natural stilbenoid polyphenol with potent properties, exhibits unexpected beneficial effects beyond its well-documented anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. In this study, we presented evidence that PD confers protection against dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced ulcerative colitis. Our findings demonstrated that PD mitigated the DSS-induced increases in proinflammatory cytokines (IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-1β), alleviated colon length shortening, reduced morphological damage to the intestinal mucosa, and preserved tight junction proteins (TJ) occludin and Zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1) in both Caco-2 cells and murine models of colitis. Results from bulk RNA sequencing and differential gene analysis suggested a potential role for ferroptosis in the protective mechanisms of PD against UC. Further investigations revealed that PD modulated the expression levels of several ferroptosis-related proteins and transcription factors within the DSS-induced colitis model. Notably, treatment with PD enhanced nuclear translocation of Nrf2, which inhibits ferroptosis while ameliorating oxidative stress through upregulation of Slc7a11 and Gpx4 expression. Additionally, erastin—a known inducer of ferroptosis—reversed the protective effects conferred by PD in the DSS-induced colitis model by downregulating Slc7a11 expression. These findings underscore that PD protects against DSS-induced ulcerative colitis via the Nrf2/ Slc7a11/Gpx4 signaling axis, highlighting its potential as a novel therapeutic agent for UC.

Project description:InactivatingSTK11/KEAP1 co-mutations are genomic drivers of primary resistance totherapies and worse outcome in KRAS-mutatedlung adenocarcinoma(LUAD), however the underlying mechanisms is still not understood.Here we provide a transcriptomic analysis of over 3800 “real-world” LUAD cases that concomitant loss of STK11 and KEAP1 in a KRAS-mutant tumorleads to significant upregulation of fatty acid metabolism, and redox signaling pathways with significantly high expression of ferroptosis evasion genes, SCD1 and SLC7A11. Global transcriptomics and kinase arrays demonstrate the role SCD1 in regulating AKT/GSK3β/NRF2 signaling mediated modulation of SLC7A11 and GSH metabolism. Furthermore, in a lipidomic assay, SCD1 knockout led to regulation of SFA-MUFA levels that promoted ferroptosis. SCD1 inhibition reverses the resistance to ferroptosis induction promoted by STK11/KEAP1 loss inmouse models. These data provide evidence that SCD1 protects ferroptosis induction and therapeutic targeting of this pathway is a promising translational strategy in KRAS mutant LUADs with concomitant loss ofSTK11 and KEAP1.

Project description:LncRNAs are playing essential roles in epigenetic regulation, mRNA translation, and protein modification. However, the function of SLC7A11-AS1, an antisense lncRNA derived from the solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11) gene, remains incompletely known. In this study, we utilized shRNA technology to knock down SLC7A11-AS1 in HepG2 cells, aiming to investigate the role of SLC7A11-AS1 in hepatocellular carcinoma. RNA-seq results revealed that there were 2536 differentially expressed genes upon SLC7A11-AS1 knockdown.

Project description:Lung ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is a common clinical pathology associated with high mortality. The pathophysiology of lung I/R injury involves ferroptosis and elevated protein O-GlcNAcylation levels, while the effect of O-GlcNAcylation on lung I/R injury remains unclear. This research aimed to explore the effect of O-GlcNAcylation on reducing ferroptosis in pulmonary epithelial cells caused by I/R. First, we identified O-GlcNAc transferase 1 (Ogt1) as a differentially expressed gene in lung epithelial cells of acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS) patients, using single-cell sequencing, and Gene Ontology analysis (GO analysis) revealed the enrichment of the ferroptosis process. We found a time-dependent dynamic alteration in lung O-GlcNAcylation during I/R injury. Proteomics analysis identified the differentially expressed proteins enriched in ferroptosis and multiple redox-related pathways based on KEGG annotation. Thus, we generated Ogt1-conditional knockout mice and found that Ogt1 deficiency aggravated ferroptosis, as evidenced by lipid reactive oxygen species (lipid ROS), malondialdehyde (MDA), Fe2+, as well as alterations in critical protein expression glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) and solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11). Consistently, we found that elevated O-GlcNAcylation inhibited ferroptosis sensitivity in hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) injury-induced TC-1 cells via O-GlcNAcylated NF-E2-related factor-2 (Nrf2). Furthermore, both the chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay and the dual-luciferase reporter assay indicated that Nrf2 could bind with translation start site (TSS) of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) and promote its transcriptional activity. As an important rate-limiting enzyme in the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP), elevated G6PDH provided a mass of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) to improve the redox state of glutathione (GSH) and eventually led to ferroptosis resistance. Rescue experiments proved that Nrf2 knockdown or Nrf2-T334A (O-GlcNAcylation site) mutation abolished the protective effect of ferroptosis resistance. In summary, we revealed that O-GlcNAcylation could protect against I/R lung injury by reducing ferroptosis sensitivity via the Nrf2/G6PDH pathway. Our work will provide a new basis for clinical therapeutic strategies for pulmonary ischemia-reperfusion-induced acute lung injury.

Project description:The most common subset of renal carcinoma, clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), is characterized by accentuated accumulation of neutral lipids in lipid droplets and adipogenic trans-differentiation. Because obesity is a major risk factor in the development of ccRCC, we investigated the role of the adipokines in driving lipid metabolism and tumorigenesis in ccRCC. Through in silico screening, we identified the adipokine chemerin as candidate pro-oncogenic factor that is overexpressed in tumors and prognostic for patient outcome. Both ccRCC patient tumor tissues and serum exhibit elevated chemerin levels as compared to normal controls in an obesity-dependent manner. Attenuation of chemerin by several approaches in ccRCC cells led to significant impairments of tumor growth in both in vitro and in vivo models. A multi-omic approach revealed that chemerin suppresses fatty acid oxidation and maintains fatty acid levels which feed into transcriptional activation of hypoxia-inducible factor 2 (HIF2) expression. Suppression of chemerin therefore induced excess fatty acid oxidation and led to ferroptosis. CoQ and mitochondrial complex IV, derived mainly from lipid, were affected after chemerin inhibition, contributing to mitochondrial dysfunction and lipid reactive oxygen species production. Monoclonal antibody targeting chemerin led to reduced lipid storage, increased cell death, and diminished tumor growth, strengthening the translational potential of chemerin inhibition. Collectively, the results suggest that obesity and tumor cells contribute to ccRCC through the expression of chemerin, which is indispensable in ccRCC biology.
