Myoferlin targeting triggers mitophagy and primes ferroptosis in pancreatic cancer cells

Myoferlin, an emerging oncoprotein, has been associated with a low survival in several cancer types including pancreas ductal adenocarcinoma where it controls mitochondria structure and respiratory functions. Owing to the high susceptibility of KRAS-mutated cancer cells to iron-dependent cell death,...

description Myoferlin, an emerging oncoprotein, has been associated with a low survival in several cancer types including pancreas ductal adenocarcinoma where it controls mitochondria structure and respiratory functions. Owing to the high susceptibility of KRAS-mutated cancer cells to iron-dependent cell death, ferroptosis, and to the high iron content in mitochondria, we investigated the relation existing between mitochondrial integrity and iron-dependent cell death. We discovered that myoferlin targeting with WJ460 pharmacological compound triggered mitophagy and ROS accumulation culminating with lipid peroxidation and apoptosis-independent cell death. WJ460 caused a reduction of the abundance of ferroptosis core regulators xc- cystine/glutamate transporter and GPX-4. Mitophagy inhibitor Mdivi1 and iron chelators inhibited the myoferlin-related ROS production and restored cell growth. Additionally, we reported a synergic effect between ferroptosis inducers, erastin and RSL3, and WJ460.
