Abstract

FBW7 functions as a tumor suppressor by targeting oncoproteins for degradation. Our previous study found FBW7 was low expressed in pancreatic cancer due to sustained activation of Ras-Raf-MEK-ERK pathway, which destabilized FBW7 by phosphorylating at Thr205. MicroPET/CT imaging results revealed that FBW7 substantially decreased 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake in xenograft tumors. Mechanistically, FBW7 inhibited glucose metabolism via c-Myc/TXNIP axis. But in these studies, we observed FBW7 down-regulated genes were widely involved in redox reaction and lipid metabolism. Here we reanalyzed previous gene expression profiling and conducted targeted cell metabolites analysis. Results revealed that FBW7 regulated lipid peroxidation and promoted ferroptosis, a non-apoptotic form of cell death. Mechanistically, we found FBW7 inhibited the expression of stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD1) via inhibiting nuclear receptor subfamily 4 group A member 1 (NR4A1). SCD1 was reported to inhibit both ferroptosis and apoptosis, which was consistent with the function of FBW7 and NR4A1, another FBW7 down-regulated gene in the gene expression profiling. Moreover, FBW7 potentiated cytotoxic effect of gemcitabine via activating ferroptosis and apoptosis. Combination ferroptosis inducers and apoptosis activators could also significantly potentiated cytotoxic effect of gemcitabine in pancreatic cancer. Therefore, our findings might provide new strategies for the comprehensive treatment of pancreatic cancer.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
