O-GlcNAcylation regulates the stability of transferrin receptor (TFRC) to control the ferroptosis in hepatocellular carcinoma cells
Redox Biology(2024)
摘要
Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent programmed cell death (PCD) enforced by lipid peroxidation accumulation. Transferrin receptor (TFRC), one of the signature proteins of ferroptosis, is abundantly expressed in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, post-translational modification (PTM) of TFRC and the underlying mechanisms for ferroptosis regulation remain less understood. In this study, we found that TFRC undergoes O-GlcNAcylation, influencing Erastin-induced ferroptosis sensitivity in hepatocytes. Further mechanistic studies found that Erastin can trigger de-O-GlcNAcylation of TFRC at serine 687 (Ser687), which diminishes the binding of ubiquitin E3 ligase membrane-associated RING-CH (MARCH8) and decreases polyubiquitination on lysine 665 (Lys665), thereby enhancing TFRC stability that favors labile iron accumulation. Therefore, our findings report O-GlcNAcylation on an important regulatory protein of ferroptosis and reveal an intriguing mechanism by which HCC ferroptosis is controlled by an iron metabolism pathway.
