Abstract Studies have indicated dietary restriction of methionine/cystine provided a therapeutic benefit in diseases such as cancer. However, the molecular and cellular mechanisms that underlie the interaction between methionine/cystine restriction (MCR) and effects on esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) have remained elusive. Here, we discovered the dietary restriction of methionine/cystine has a large effect on cellular methionine metabolism as assayed in a ECA109 derived xenograft model. RNA-seq and enrichment analysis suggested the blocked tumor progression was affected by ferroptosis, together with the NFκB signaling pathway activation in ESCC. Consistently, GSH content and GPX4 expression were downregulated by MCR both in vivo and in vitro. The contents of Fe2+ and MDA were negatively correlated with supplementary methionine in a dose-dependent way. Mechanistically, MCR and silent of SLC43A2, a methionine transporter, diminished phosphorylation of IKKα/β and p65. Blocked NFκB signaling pathway further decreased the expression of SLC43A2 and GPX4 in both mRNA and protein level, which in turn downregulated the methionine intake and stimulated ferroptosis, respectively. ESCC progression was inhibited by enhanced ferroptosis and apoptosis and impaired cell proliferation. In this study, we proposed a novel feedback regulation mechanism underlie the correlation between dietary restriction of methionine/cystine and ESCC progression. MCR blocked cancer progression via stimulating ferroptosis through the positive feedback loop between SLC43A2 and NFκB signaling pathways. Our results provided the theoretical basis and new targets for ferroptosis-based clinical antitumor treatments for ESCC patients. |
