Abstrakt: Farnesoid X receptor (NR1H4/FXR) functions as a scavenger of lipid peroxide products and drives the proliferation and metastasis of various cancers. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. In our study, we found that the expression levels of FXR, vimentin and SLC7A11 were significantly higher in breast cancer tissues, particularly in metastatic cancer tissues compared to non-metastatic ones. Furthermore, the increased FXR expression was positively correlated with vimentin and SLC7A11 in clinical tumor specimens. In addition, a high level of FXR correlated with poor prognosis in patients with breast cancer. Both Z-Guggulsterone (Z-GS), as a pharmacological inhibitor of FXR, and silencing FXR curbed proliferation and migration of breast cancer cells by promoting ferroptosis. Notably, our results showed that FXR competitively bound to CREB-binding protein (CBP) to suppress the interaction between p53 and CBP in the nucleus, and thus prevented p53 acetylation at lys382, which was essential for upregulating the expression of SLC7A11. Conversely, FXR knockdown increased the interaction between p53 and CBP and promoted p53 acetylation, which ultimately led to facilitating ferroptosis in breast cancer cells. More importantly, we also found that Z-GS inhibited TGF-β1-induced tumor growth and metastasis of breast cancer primarily through ferroptosis via regulating CBP-dependent p53 acetylation in nude mice. In conclusion, the FXR was first reported as a tumor promoter that enhanced the proliferation and metastasis of breast cancer cells through regulating CBP-dependent p53 K382 acetylation. It proposes that FXR may serve as a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of breast cancer.
