Project description:Ferroptosis is a form of regulated cell death driven by lipid peroxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). Endogenous PUFAs are nonconjugated PUFAs and their peroxidation proceeds via the hydrogen-atom transfer (HAT) mechanism. We previously reported that lipids with conjugated double bonds undergo lipid peroxidation mostly via a different mechanism, peroxyl radical addition (PRA), and were much more readily oxidizable than nonconjugated ones. In this study, we aim to elucidate the effects of various unsaturated lipids in sensitizing ferroptosis. We found that while some peroxidation-reactive lipids, such as 7-dehydrocholesterol, vitamins D3 and A, and coenzyme Q10, suppress ferroptosis, both nonconjugated and conjugated PUFAs enhanced cell death induced by RSL3, a ferroptosis inducer. Importantly, we showed that conjugated linolenic acid (CLA 18:3) could act as a ferroptosis inducer by itself and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA 18:2) was more potent in sensitizing cells to RSL3-induced cell death than any nonconjugated PUFAs. We next sought to elucidate the mechanism underlying the different ferroptosis-inducing potency of conjugated and nonconjugated PUFAs. Lipidomics revealed that conjugated and nonconjugated PUFAs are incorporated into distinct cellular lipid species. Furthermore, the different peroxidation mechanisms predict the formation of higher levels of reactive electrophilic aldehydes from conjugated PUFAs than nonconjugated PUFAs, which was confirmed by aldehyde-trapping and mass spectrometry. RNA sequencing revealed that protein processing in the endoplasmic reticulum and proteasome are among the most significantly upregulated pathways in cells treated with CLA 18:3, suggesting increased ER stress and activation of unfolded protein response. Significantly, using click chemistry, we observed increased protein adduction by oxidized lipids in cells treated with an alkynylated CLA 18:2 probe. These results suggest that protein damage by lipid electrophiles is a key step in ferroptosis.

Project description:Ferroptosis is a form of regulated cell death driven by lipid peroxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). Lipid peroxidation can propagate through either the hydrogen-atom transfer (HAT) or peroxyl radical addition (PRA) mechanism. However, the contribution of the PRA mechanism to the induction of ferroptosis has not been studied. In this study, we aim to elucidate the relationship between the reactivity and mechanisms of lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis induction. We found that while some peroxidation-reactive lipids, such as 7-dehydrocholesterol, vitamins D3 and A, and coenzyme Q10, suppress ferroptosis, both nonconjugated and conjugated PUFAs enhanced cell death induced by RSL3, a ferroptosis inducer. Importantly, we found that conjugated PUFAs, including conjugated linolenic acid (CLA 18:3) and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA 18:2), can induce or potentiate ferroptosis much more potently than nonconjugated PUFAs. We next sought to elucidate the mechanism underlying the different ferroptosis-inducing potency of conjugated and nonconjugated PUFAs.

Project description:Membrane protection against oxidative damage is tightly buffered by glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), and endogenous radical-trapping antioxidants such as ubiquinone, vitamin E and K. Deficiencies in these protective systems have been linked to the accumulation of phospholipid peroxidation and ferroptosis induction. Recently, ferroptosis suppressor protein 1 (FSP1) was identified as a key player in this process, preventing phospholipid peroxidation and ferroptosis by regenerating radical-trapping antioxidants. Yet, regulators of FSP1 have remained largely unknown, and their identification is critical for understanding the mechanism regulating phospholipid peroxidation and ferroptosis. In this study, we conducted a CRISPR-Cas9 screen to uncover factors influencing FSP1 function, identifying vitamin B2 (riboflavin) as a yet-unaccounted modulator of ferroptosis sensitivity. We demonstrate that vitamin B2, unlike other vitamins that directly act as radical-trapping antioxidants, facilitates the recycling of lipid-soluble antioxidants by directly supporting FSP1 stability and activity, thereby mitigating phospholipid peroxidation. Thus, we uncovered a direct role of vitamin B2 in maintaining membrane integrity and supporting membrane tolerance to lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis resistance. Our findings provide a rational strategy to modulate the FSP1-antioxidant recycling pathway, with potential implications for treating cancer and other diseases where ferroptosis plays a pivotal role.

Project description:Aims: Oligoasthenozoospermia (OAS) causes male infertility. However, the etiology and pathogenesis of OAS are unclear, and specific therapy is lacking. Ferroptosis contributes to the progress of various diseases; however, its role in OAS is unknown. This study aimed to explore the mechanism of OAS and to find effective treatments. Results: Human OAS sperm exhibits biochemical and morphological hallmarks of ferroptosis. Ferroptosis represents a crucial role in OAS induced by cyclophosphamide (CP) of mice in vivo, and inhibiting ferroptosis can effectively improve OAS. Further search for safe, stable and clinically applicable of natural compounds found Salidroside （Sal）improved the sperm quality of OAS by attenuates ferroptosis-mediated lipid peroxidation in germ cells by increasing the expression of GPX4, and thus ameliorates OAS in vivo. To further investigate at which stage of spermatogenesis Sal acts, the result revealed that Sal increases the expression of GPX4 starting from primary spermatocytes gradually by immunohistochemistry. In vitro, we verified the above results in vivo using a mouse spermatocytes cell line, GC-2 cells. Mechanistically, integrated RNA-Seq and bioinformatic analysis showed that Sal likely promotes GPX4 expression by inhibiting NF-κB Pathway, thereby inhibiting ferroptosis. Innovation: Our findings support the view that ferroptosis plays an important role in patients with OAS, and provide convincing evidence that Sal ameliorates OAS by inhibiting ferroptosis-mediated lipid peroxidation via NF-κB pathway suppression. Conclusions: Thus, ferroptosis plays an important role in OAS, and Sal could ameliorate OAS by attenuating ferroptosis-mediated lipid peroxidation via NF-κB pathway inhibition.

Project description:Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells are a group of innate like T cells that plays important roles in immune homeostasis and activation. We found that iNKT cells, compared to CD4+ T cells, have significantly higher levels of lipid peroxidation in both mice and humans. Proteomic analysis also demonstrated that iNKT cells express higher levels of Glutathione peroxidase 4 (Gpx4), a major antioxidant enzyme that reduces lipid peroxidation and prevents ferroptosis. T cell specific deletion of Gpx4 reduces iNKT cell population, most prominently the IFNg producing NKT1 subset. RNAseq analysis revealed IFNg signaling, cell cycle regulation, as well as mitochondrial function are perturbed by Gpx4 deletion in iNKT cells. Consistently, we detected impaired cytokine production, elevated cell proliferation and cell death, and accumulation of lipid peroxides and mitochondrial ROS in Gpx4 KO iNKT cells. Ferroptosis inhibitor, iron chelator, vitamin E and vitamin K2 can prevent ferroptosis induced by Gpx4 deficiency in iNKT cells and ameliorate the impaired function of iNKT cells due to Gpx4 inhibition. Lastly, vitamin E rescued iNKT cell population in Gpx4 KO mice. Altogether, our findings reveal the critical role of Gpx4 in regulating iNKT cell homeostasis and function, through controlling lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis.

Project description:Purpose: Gastric cancer remains one of the deadliest neoplasms worldwide, with a high need for new therapeutic options. Efficacies of targeted therapies are often limited owing to the inter- and intratumoral heterogeneity of gastric cancer. Thus, drugs with broader mechanisms of action rather than relying on the inhibition of a single specific oncogene are needed. Preclinical studies have identified histone deacetylases (HDAC) and their respective isoforms as potential therapeutic targets in gastric cancer. However, clinical efficacies are moderate and the mechanism(s) of action of HDAC inhibitors (HDACi) are only partially understood. Methods: In a panel of gastric cancer cell lines with different molecular characteristics, tumor cell inhibitory effects of different HDACi were studied. Lipid peroxidation levels were measured using flow cytometry. Proteome analysis was performed for the in-depth characterization of molecular alterations upon HDAC inhibition. HDACi effects on important ferroptosis genes were validated on the mRNA (RT-qPCR) and protein level (Western Blot). Results: Upon HDACi treatment, lipid peroxidation levels were found increased in all tested cell lines. Class-I HDACi (VK1, entinostat) showed the same toxicity profile as the pan-HDACi vorinostat. Proteome analysis revealed significant and concordant alterations in the expression of proteins related to ferroptosis induction. Key enzymes like ACSL4, POR or SLC7A11 showed distinct alterations in their expression patterns, providing an explanation for the increased lipid peroxidation. Alterations of POR and SLC7A11 levels upon treatment were also confirmed in primary human gastric cancer tissue cultures as relevant ex vivo model. Conclusion: We identify the induction of ferroptosis as a new mechanism of action of class-I HDACi in gastric cancer. Notably, these findings were independent of the genetic background of the cell lines, thus introducing HDAC inhibition as a more general therapeutic principle besides other, less broadly usable targeted drugs.

Project description:To investigate how tumor heterogeneity involved in ferroptosis mediated by the physical microenvironment is a breakthrough in solving the therapeutic resistance of colorectal cancer (CRC). Based on the three-dimensional (3D) fibrin gel model, we identified four stages of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in vitro that are synergistically regulated by mechanical cues and E-cadherin (ECAD) expression with varying degrees of resistance to ferroptosis. Mechanistically, we elucidated that 3D cells undergoing hybrid EMT fought ferroptosis via WNT/β-catenin-GPXs/ferritin signaling axis, while cells of a late-hybrid EMT state relied on adhesion tension forced mitohormesis to reach super defense against ferroptosis. This work deconstructed the distinct contributions of tumor heterogeneity to ferroptosis from an EMT perspective and uncovered the biomechanical weakness of therapeutic resistance. These findings, in conjunction with tumoroids, were expected to serve for future ferroptosis-based personalized diagnosis and treatment of CRC.

Project description:Ferroptosis is a form of regulated cell death characterized by oxidative injury-induced lipid peroxidation. However, the detailed protein post-translational modification regulatory mechanism of ferroptosis remains largely unknown. Here, we report that E1A binding protein P300 (EP300) acetyltransferase promotes ferroptosis in human pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) cells via the acetylation of heat shock protein family A (Hsp70) member 5 (HSPA5, also known as GRP78 or BIP) on the site of K353. Acetylated HSPA5 loses its ability to inhibit lipid peroxidation and subsequent ferroptotic cell death. Genetic or pharmacological inhibition of EP300-mediated HSPA5 acetylation on K353 increases PDAC cell resistance to ferroptosis. Moreover, histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) limits HSPA5 acetylation and subsequent ferroptosis.
