SUFU suppresses ferroptosis sensitivity in breast cancer cells via Hippo/YAP pathway

Summary: Ferroptosis is a new kind of regulated cell death that is characterized by highly iron-dependent lipid peroxidation. Cancer cells differ in their sensitivity to ferroptosis. Here we showed that the Suppressor of fused homolog (SUFU), a critical component in Hedgehog signaling, regulates fer...

description Summary: Ferroptosis is a new kind of regulated cell death that is characterized by highly iron-dependent lipid peroxidation. Cancer cells differ in their sensitivity to ferroptosis. Here we showed that the Suppressor of fused homolog (SUFU), a critical component in Hedgehog signaling, regulates ferroptosis sensitivity of breast cancer cells. Ectopic SUFU expression suppressed, whereas depletion of SUFU enhanced the sensitivity of breast cancer cells to RSL3-triggered ferroptosis through deregulation of ACSL4. Moreover, SUFU depletion promoted the activation of Yes-associated protein (YAP), thereby increasing the expression of ACSL4. Mechanistically, SUFU is associated with LATS1. Deletion of a region comprising residues 174–385 in SUFU disrupted SUFU binding to LATS1, thus abrogating SUFU-mediated downregulation of the YAP-ACSL4 axis and sensitivity to ferroptosis. Noteworthy, we showed that vincristine downregulated SUFU, thus increasing breast cancer cell sensitivity to RSL3 in vitro and in vivo. Together, our findings uncover SUFU as a novel regulator in ferroptosis sensitivity.
