Abstract

AbstractHigh levels of YAP1 and ferroptosis activation in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) can inhibit CRPC progression and improve its sensitivity toward chemotherapeutics drugs. However, whether YAP1 regulates ferroptosis in CRPC cells and the underlying mechanisms are unknown. The protein levels of YAP1, SLC1A5, and GLS1 in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), prostate cancer (PCa) that did not progress to CRPC, and CRPC tissue samples were evaluated using western blotting. In PC-3 and DU-145 cells, YAP1 overexpression vector, small-interfering RNA, specific inhibitor verteporfin, ferroptosis-inducer RSL3, SLC1A5-inhibitor V-9302, and GLS1-inhibitor CB-839 were used. Immunofluorescence, flow cytometry, dual-luciferase reporter gene, and related kits were used to investigate the effect of YAP1 on the ferroptosis activity in CRPC cells and its underlying mechanisms. YAP1 promoted extracellular glutamine uptake and subsequent production of glutamate and glutathione (GSH), and increases the GPX4 activity. For the activation of ferroptosis by RSL3, YAP1 decreased the levels of reactive oxygen species, malondialdehyde, and lipid peroxidation, and the proportion of dead cells. Mechanistically, YAP1 promoted the expression of SCL1A5 and GLS1 and further increased the GSH levels and GPX4 activity. Thus, inhibiting SLC1A5 or GLS1 activity could alleviate the antagonistic effect of YAP1 on the ferroptosis of RSL3-induced CRPC cells. In CRPC, the YAP1 level is high, which enters the nucleus and promotes the expressions of SLC1A5 and GLS1, thereby promoting cellular glutamine uptake and metabolism to generate glutamate and further synthesizing GSH, increasing GPX4 activity, improving cellular antioxidant capacity, and inhibiting cell death.
