[PMID: 38822984 DOI: 10.1007/s11064-024-04163-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2023] [Revised: 02/28/2024] [Accepted: 05/22/2024] [Indexed: 06/03/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE) develops in 30-70% of hospitalized patients with sepsis. In intensive care units (ICUs), propofol is often administered to ensure an appropriate level of sedation in mechanically ventilated patients. Ferroptosis is a newly identified mode of cellular death characterized by the peroxidation of membrane lipids and excessive iron. This study was conducted to explore the interplay between propofol, sepsis, and ferroptosis. METHODS An acute systemic inflammatory model was constructed via the intraperitoneal administration of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Nissl and Fluoro-Jade C (FJC) staining were employed to display neuronal damage and degeneration. Western blotting and immunofluorescence (IF) staining of Bax and Bcl-2 were used to confirm the neural apoptosis. QPCR of cytokines and DHE staining were used to indicate neuroinflammation. To validate ferroptosis, we assessed the content of malondialdehyde (MDA), GSH, and tissue iron, accompanied by transcription level of CHAC1, PTGS2 and GPX4. Additionally, we examined the content of acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4 (ACSL4), xCT (SLC7A11, solute carrier family 7 member 11), and glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4). The IF staining of Iba1-labeled microglia and GFAP-marked astrocytes were used to measure the gliosis. Erastin was pre-pretreated to confirm the anti-ferroptotic capability of propofol. ML385 was preconditioned to explore the role of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) in propofol-repressed ferroptosis. RESULTS Propofol dose-dependently inhibited the decrease of Nissl-positive neurons and the increase of FJC-stained neurons in septic hippocampus and cortex. Neural cytokines, oxidative stress, apoptosis and gliosis were reduced by propofol. Propofol repressed the level of MDA, iron, CHAC1, PTGS2, ACLS4 and restored the content of GSH, GPX4, xCT, Nrf2 and HO-1, thus inhibiting sepsis-induced ferroptosis. All protections from propofol could be reversed by eratsin and ML385 pretreatment. CONCLUSION Propofol protected against sepsis-induced brain damage, neuroinflammation, neuronal apoptosis and gliosis through the activation of the Nrf2/HO-1 axis to combat ferroptosis.

Front Pharmacol 2024; 15:1290183. [PMID: 38855750 PMCID: PMC11158628 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2024.1290183] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2023] [Accepted: 04/22/2024] [Indexed: 06/11/2024] Open
Abstract
Lung cancer is the leading cause of global cancer-related deaths. Platinum-based chemotherapy is the first-line treatment for the most common type of lung cancer, i.e., non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but its therapeutic efficiency is limited by chemotherapeutic resistance. Therefore, it is vital to develop effective therapeutic modalities that bypass the common molecular mechanisms associated with chemotherapeutic resistance. Ferroptosis is a form of non-apoptotic regulated cell death characterized by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation (LPO). Ferroptosis is crucial for the proper therapeutic efficacy of lung cancer-associated chemotherapies. If targeted as a novel therapeutic mechanism, ferroptosis modulators present new opportunities for increasing the therapeutic efficacy of lung cancer chemotherapy. Emerging studies have revealed that the pharmacological induction of ferroptosis using natural compounds boosts the efficacy of chemotherapy in lung cancer or drug-resistant cancer. In this review, we first discuss chemotherapeutic resistance (or chemoresistance) in lung cancer and introduce the core mechanisms behind ferroptosis. Then, we comprehensively summarize the small-molecule compounds sourced from traditional medicines that may boost the anti-tumor activity of current chemotherapeutic agents and overcome chemotherapeutic resistance in NSCLC. Cumulatively, we suggest that traditional medicines with ferroptosis-related anticancer activity could serve as a starting point to overcome chemotherapeutic resistance in NSCLC by inducing ferroptosis, highlighting new potential therapeutic regimens used to overcome chemoresistance in NSCLC.

Abstract
As a new form of regulated cell death, ferroptosis has unraveled the unsolicited theory of intrinsic apoptosis resistance by cancer cells. The molecular mechanism of ferroptosis depends on the induction of oxidative stress through excessive reactive oxygen species accumulation and glutathione depletion to damage the structural integrity of cells. Due to their high loading and structural tunability, nanocarriers can escort the delivery of ferro-therapeutics to the desired site through enhanced permeation or retention effect or by active targeting. This review shed light on the necessity of iron in cancer cell growth and the fascinating features of ferroptosis in regulating the cell cycle and metastasis. Additionally, we discussed the effect of ferroptosis-mediated therapy using nanoplatforms and their chemical basis in overcoming the barriers to cancer therapy.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a formidable threat to human well-being, characterized by a largely enigmatic occurrence and progression mechanism. A growing body of literature has underscored the potential influence of propofol, a frequently administered anesthetic, on clinical outcomes in malignant tumor patients. However, the precise molecular mechanisms underlying the impact of propofol on the progression of CRC have yet to be fully elucidated. This study reveals a notable upregulation of LINC01133 expression in CRC cells subsequent to propofol treatment, which is mediated by FOXO1. Subsequently, a series of experiments were conducted to elucidate the role and mechanisms underlying propofol-induced LINC01133 in CRC development. Our study uncovers that the upregulation of LINC01133 exerts a substantial inhibitory effect on the proliferation, migration, and invasion of CRC cells. Further investigation revealed that LINC01133 can attenuate the proliferation, invasion, and migration of CRC cell lines through the miR-186-5p/NR3C2 axis. Results from in vivo experiments unequivocally demonstrated a significant reduction in the growth rate of subcutaneous implant tumors upon LINC01133 overexpression in CRC cells. These findings posit that propofol induces LINC01133 expression, leading to the inhibition of CRC progression. This revelation offers a novel perspective on propofol's antitumor properties and underscores the potential of LINC01133 as a promising therapeutic target for CRC.

Abstract
Lung cancer is a highly prevalent malignant tumor worldwide, with high incidence and death rates. Recently, there has been increasing recognition of the role of ferroptosis, a unique cell death mechanism, in lung cancer. This review aims to summarize the current research progress on the relationship between ferroptosis and lung cancer. It also provides a comprehensive analysis of the regulatory processes of ferroptosis in various stages, including epigenetics, transcription, post-transcription, translation, and post-translation. Additionally, the review explores the dual nature of ferroptosis in lung cancer progression, which presents interesting therapeutic possibilities. On one hand, ferroptosis can promote the escape of immune surveillance and reduce the efficacy of treatment in the early stages of tumors. On the other hand, it can counter drug resistance, enhance radiosensitivity, and promote immunotherapy. The article also discusses various combination treatment strategies based on the mechanism of ferroptosis. Overall, this review offers a holistic perspective on the role of ferroptosis in the onset, progression, and treatment of lung cancer. It aims to contribute to future research and clinical interventions in this field.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a newly recognized form of oxidative-regulated cell death resulting from iron-mediated lipid peroxidation accumulation. Radical-trapping antioxidant systems can eliminate these oxidized lipids and prevent disrupting the integrity of cell membranes. Epigenetic modifications can regulate ferroptosis by altering gene expression or cell phenotype without permanent sequence changes. These mechanisms include DNA methylation, histone modifications, RNA modifications, and noncoding RNAs. Epigenetic alterations in cancer can control the expression of ferroptosis regulators or related pathways, leading to changes in cell sensitivity to ferroptosis inducers or cancer progression. Epigenetic alterations in cancer are influenced by a wide range of cancer hallmarks, contributing to therapeutic resistance. Targeting epigenetic alterations is a promising approach to overcoming cancer resilience. However, the exact mechanisms involved in different types of cancer remain unresolved. Discovering more ferroptosis-associated epigenetic targets and interventions can help overcome current barriers in anticancer therapy. Many papers on epigenetic modifications of ferroptosis have been continuously published, making it essential to summarize the current state-of-the-art in the epigenetic regulation of ferroptosis in human cancer.

Abstract
Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide, with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) being the most prevalent type. This study investigates the role of TRIM11 gene in NSCLC and its underlying mechanism. NSCLC patients were recruited from our hospital and showed upregulated TRIM11 mRNA and protein expressions. Patients with high TRIM11 expression had lower survival rates. TRIM11 gene was found to promote cell proliferation and reduce ROS-induced ferroptosis in NSCLC. Additionally, TRIM11 gene induced AMPK expression and its regulation affected TRIM11's effects on cell proliferation and ferroptosis in NSCLC. IP analysis revealed that TRIM11 protein interacted with AMPK protein in NSCLC. These data confirmed that TRIM11 promotes cell proliferation and reduces ROS-induced ferroptosis in NSCLC through AMPK. Hence, TRIM11 is a potential target for the treatment of NSCLC and other cancers.

Abstract
As a novel form of regulated cell death, ferroptosis is characterized by intracellular iron and lipid peroxide accumulation, which is different from other regulated cell death forms morphologically, biochemically, and immunologically. Ferroptosis is regulated by iron metabolism, lipid metabolism, and antioxidant defense systems as well as various transcription factors and related signal pathways. Emerging evidence has highlighted that ferroptosis is associated with many physiological and pathological processes, including cancer, neurodegeneration diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and ischemia/reperfusion injury. Noncoding RNAs are a group of functional RNA molecules that are not translated into proteins, which can regulate gene expression in various manners. An increasing number of studies have shown that noncoding RNAs, especially miRNAs, lncRNAs, and circRNAs, can interfere with the progression of ferroptosis by modulating ferroptosis-related genes or proteins directly or indirectly. In this review, we summarize the basic mechanisms and regulations of ferroptosis and focus on the recent studies on the mechanism for different types of ncRNAs to regulate ferroptosis in different physiological and pathological conditions, which will deepen our understanding of ferroptosis regulation by noncoding RNAs and provide new insights into employing noncoding RNAs in ferroptosis-associated therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Ferroptosis, a novel mode of cell death dependent on iron and reactive oxygen species, has been extensively explored during malignant tumors metastasis. Ferroptosis can interact with multiple components of the tumor microenvironment to regulate metastasis. These interactions generally include the following aspects: (1) Epithelial-mesenchymal transformation, which can help cancer cells increase their sensitivity to ferroptosis while they have multiple mechanisms to fight against it; (2) Disorder of iron metabolism in cancer stem cells which maintains their stem characteristics; (3) Polarization of M0 macrophages to M2. (4) The paradoxical effects of iron metabolism and CD8 + T cells induced by ferroptosis (5) Regulation of angiogenesis. In addition, ferroptosis can be regulated by miRNAs through the reprogramming of various intracellular metabolism processes, including the regulation of the glutathione- glutathione peroxidase 4 pathway, glutamic acid/cystine transport, iron metabolism, lipid metabolism, and oxidative stress. Therefore, there are many potential interactions between ferroptosis-related miRNAs and tumor metastasis, including interaction with cancer cells and immune cells, regulating cytokines, and angiogenesis. This review focuses on the role of ferroptosis-related miRNA in tumor metastasis, aiming to help readers understand their relationship and provide a new perspective on the potential treatment strategies of malignant tumors.

Abstract
Lung cancer is a commonly diagnosed cancer and the leading cause of cancer-related deaths, posing a serious health risk. Despite new advances in immune checkpoint and targeted therapies in recent years, the prognosis for lung cancer patients, especially those in advanced stages, remains poor. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been shown to modulate tumor development at multiple levels, and as such, miRNA mimics and molecules aimed at regulating miRNAs have shown promise in preclinical development. More importantly, miRNA-based therapies can also complement conventional chemoradiotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapies to reverse drug resistance and increase the sensitivity of lung cancer cells. Furthermore, small interfering RNA (siRNA) and miRNA-based therapies have entered clinical trials and have shown favorable development prospects. Therefore, in this paper, we review recent advances in miRNA-based therapies in lung cancer treatment as well as adjuvant therapy and present the current state of clinical lung cancer treatment. We also discuss the challenges facing miRNA-based therapies in the clinical application of lung cancer treatment to provide new ideas for the development of novel lung cancer therapies.
