Project description:5-FU resistance is considered to be a possible reason for the failure of conventional drug treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC). Recently, salinomycin (SAL), as a selective inhibitor of cancer stem cells (CSCs), has been used to sensitize and attenuate a variety of solid tumor chemotherapy drugs. In our study, our goal was to combine SAL with 5-FU to explore whether increase the sensitivity of CRC to 5-FU and the molecular mechanism that involved in enhancing 5-FU sensitivity and promoting tumor cell chemotherapeutic death.

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:Comparative analysis of gene expression in cultured primary keratinocytes isolated from newborn control (K14-cre; GPx4fl/+) and knockout (K14-cre; GPx4fl/fl) mice. Selenoproteins are essential for skin function, as targeted abolition of selenoproteins in epidermal tissue results in newborn mice manifesting gross abnormalities of skin and hair, accompanied by retarded growth and premature death. To investigate whether lack of a single selenoprotein could induce similar phenotypic effect in mice, we generated keratinocyte-specific knockout mice lacking glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPx4), an essential selenoprotein in skin, to examine phenotypic changes resulting from the lack of GPx4 in skin. Ablation of GPx4 results in focal alopecia and disturbed hair follicle morphogenesis, with GPx4 being essential during early stages of hair follicle morphogenesis as well as for keratinocyte adhesion and proliferation in culture. We have generated mice with selective removal of the GPx4 gene in keratinocytes under the control of Keratin-14-cre (K14-cre) promoter. Comparative microarray analysis was performed on RNA samples taken from pooled primary keratinocytes from knockout and control mice from the same litter. Array replicates were performed using RNA samples from three different litters.

Project description:Glutathione supplementation improves fat graft survival by inhibiting ferroptosis via the SLC7A11/GPX4 axis
| PRJNA966173 | ENA
Project description:Background: Autologous fat grafting is hampered by unpredictable graft survival, which is potentially regulated by ferroptosis. Glutathione (GSH), a powerful antioxidant used in tissue preservation, has ferroptosis-regulating activity; however, its effects on fat grafts are unclear. This study investigated the effects and mechanisms of GSH in fat graft survival. Methods: Human lipoaspirates were transplanted subcutaneously into the backs of normal saline-treated (control) or GSH-treated nude mice. Graft survival was evaluated by magnetic resonance imaging and histology. RNA sequencing was performed to identify differentially expressed genes and enriched pathways. GSH activity was evaluated in vitro using an oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD) model of adipose-derived stem cells. Results: Compared with control group, GSH induced better outcomes, including superior graft retention, appearance, and histological structures. RNA sequencing suggested enhanced negative regulation of ferroptosis in the GSH-treated grafts, which showed reduced lipid peroxides, better mitochondrial ultrastructure, and SLC7A11/GPX4 axis activation. In vitro, OGD-induced ferroptosis was ameliorated by GSH, which restored cell proliferation, reduced oxidative stress, and upregulated ferroptosis defense factors. Conclusions: Our study confirms that ferroptosis participates in regulating fat graft survival and that GSH exerts a protective effect by inhibiting ferroptosis. GSH-assisted lipotransfer is a promising therapeutic strategy for future clinical application.

Project description:Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is the most common risk factor for gastric cancer (GC). The effect of the antioxidase manganese superoxide dismutase (SOD2) in gastric tumorigenesis remains unclear. We explored the molecular and mechanical links between H. pylori, inflammation, and SOD2 in GC. We found SOD2 was upregulated in GC. GC patients with high SOD2 expression showed worse overall survival. H. pylori infection promoted SOD2 expression by transcriptionally activating the NF-κB signaling pathway. Knockdown of SOD2 led to increased levels of reactive oxygen species and oxidative stress in response to H. pylori infection. Our research demonstrated that SOD2 can serve as an inhibitor of ferroptosis by activating AKT, stabilizing GPX4 protein, which subsequently induces 5-fluorouracil resistance. These findings reveal a mechanism whereby H. pylori can promote gastric carcinogenesis by activating the NF-κB/SOD2/AKT/GPX4 pathway, leading to the inhibition of ferroptosis. This may provide a promising therapeutic target for GC.

Project description:Numerous neurological diseases involve neuroinflammation, a process in which immune cells, particularly microglia, contribute to neuronal death. Ferroptosis, a recently identified form of regulated cell death, is implicated in various diseases characterized by neuronal injury. Nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), a potent NAD+ precursor supplement, has been found to inhibit neuroinflammation and ferroptosis. However, the mechanisms of NMN in both ferroptosis and neuroinflammation remains unclear. The present study aimed to investigate the impact of NMN on neuroinflammation and the susceptibility of microglia to ferroptosis. Ferroptosis markers in microglia exposed to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) were analyzed using CCK8, flow cytometry, ELISA, and RT-qPCR. The effects of NMN on LPS-induced ferroptosis in microglia were evaluated through flow cytometry, western blotting, and immunofluorescence staining. RT-qPCR analysis assessed the inflammatory cytokine production of microglia subjected to ferrostatin-1-regulated ferroptosis. RNA sequencing elucidated the underlying mechanisms of NMN-associated microglia ferroptosis under LPS induction. In BV2 microglia, an inhibitor of Glutathione Peroxidase 4(GPX4), RSL3, was employed to suppress GPX4 expression. Intracerebroventricular injection of LPS was performed to evaluate neuroinflammation and microglia activation in vivo. LPS treatment resulted in decreased cell viability, accompanied by upregulation of ferroptosis markers SLC7A11 and GPX4, and elevated levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE), and total iron in a dose-dependent manner. NMN effectively rescued LPS-induced ferroptosis and improved cell viability in microglia. Co-administration of NMN and ferrostatin-1 significantly reduced proinflammatory cytokine production in microglia following the introduction of LPS stimuli. Mechanistically, NMN facilitated glutathione (GSH) production, and promoted resistance to lipid peroxidation in a GPX4-dependent manner, repressing cytokine transcription and protecting cells from ferroptosis. RNA sequencing elucidated the underlying mechanism of NMN-associated microglia ferroptosis under LPS induction. Furthermore, simultaneous injection of NMN ameliorated LPS-induced ferroptosis and neuroinflammation in mouse brains. The data from the present study indicated that NMN enhances GPX4-mediated ferroptosis defense against LPS-induced ferroptosis in microglia by recruiting GSH, thereby inhibiting neuroinflammation. Therefore, therapeutic approaches targeting ferroptosis in diseases using NMN should consider both its anti-ferroptosis and anti-inflammatory effects to achieve optimal outcomes, presenting promising strategies for treating neuroinflammation-related diseases or disorders.
