BTB and CNC homology 1 (BACH1) represses the expression of genes involved in the metabolism of iron, heme and reactive oxygen species and promotes metastasis of various cancers including pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). However, it is not clear how BACH1 is regulated in PDAC cells. Knockdown of Tank binding kinase 1 (TBK1) led to reductions of BACH1 mRNA and protein amounts in AsPC−1 human PDAC cells. Gene expression analysis of PDAC cells with knockdown of TBK1 or BACH1 suggested the involvement of TBK1 and BACH1 in the regulation of iron homeostasis. Ferritin mRNA and proteins were both increased upon BACH1 knockdown in AsPC−1 cells. Flow cytometry analysis showed that AsPC−1 cells with BACH1 knockout or knockdown contained lower labile iron than control cells, suggesting that BACH1 increased labile iron by repressing the expression of ferritin genes. We further found that the expression of E-cadherin was upregulated upon the chelation of intracellular iron content. These results suggest that the TBK1-BACH1 pathway promotes cancer cell metastasis by increasing labile iron within cells. |
