Background

Elevated endogenous phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K) activity is critical for cell proliferation in gliomas. Iron availability is one of the essential factors for cell growth and proliferation. However, any relation between PI3K and cellular iron homeostasis has not been understood so far.

Methods

Glioma cells and human primary astrocytes were treated with class I PI3K inhibitors to examine regulation of iron homeostasis components. Regulation of ferritin was detected at mRNA and translational level. Labile iron pool (LIP) and cell proliferation were examined in glioma cells and human primary astrocytes.

Results

Blocking of PI3K activity elevated ferritin level by 6–10 folds in glioma cells by augmenting mRNA expression of ferritin subunits and also by influencing ferritin translation. IRE-IRP interaction was affected due to conversion of IRP1 to cytosolic aconitase that was influenced by increased iron-sulfur scaffold protein iron-sulfur cluster assembly enzyme (ISCU) level. Elevated ferritin sequestered LIP to affect cell proliferation that was reversed in silencing ferritin by siRNAs of ferritin-H and ISCU. Human primary astrocyte with little PI3K activity did not show any change in ferritin level, LIP and cell proliferation by PI3K inhibitors.

Conclusions

PI3K inhibition promotes ferritin synthesis by dual mechanism resulting sequestration of iron to limit its availability for cell proliferation in glioma cells but not in primary astrocytes.General Significance: This observation establishes a relation between PI3K signalling and iron homeostasis in glioma cells. It also implies that activated PI3K controls ferritin expression to ensure availability of adequate iron required for cell proliferation.  相似文献

Cellular iron metabolism is essentially controlled by the binding of cytosolic iron regulatory proteins (IRP1 or IRP2) to iron-responsive elements (IREs) located on mRNAs coding for proteins involved in iron acquisition, utilization and storage. The 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) is one of the most potent toxins of current interest that occurs as poisonous chemical in the environment. TCDD exposure has been reported to induce a broad spectrum of toxic and biological responses, including significant changes in gene expression for heme and iron metabolism associated with liver injury. Here, we have investigated the molecular effects of TCDD on the iron metabolism providing the first evidence that administration of the toxin TCDD to mammalian cells affects the maintenance of iron homeostasis. We found that exposure of Madin-Darby Bovine Kidney cell to TCDD caused a divergent modulation of IRP1 and IRP2 RNA-binding capacity. Interestingly, we observed a concomitant IRP1 down-regulation and IRP2 up-regulation thus determining a marked enhancement of transferrin receptor 1 (TfR-1) expression and a biphasic response in ferritin content. The changed ferritin content coupled to TfR-1 induction after TCDD exposure impairs the cellular iron homeostasis, ultimately leading to significant changes in the labile iron pool (LIP) extent. Since important iron requirement changes occur during the regulation of cell growth, it is not surprising that the dioxin-dependent iron metabolism dysregulation herein described may be linked to cell-fate decision, supporting the hypothesis of a central connection among exposure to dioxins and the regulation of critical cellular processes.  相似文献
