The molecular profiles of breast cancers may switch among subtypes during treatments, leading to a phenotype such as triple negative breast cancers (TNBCs) that is more difficult to treat. Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) has been demonstrated by many studies on its efficacy in arresting the malignancies of multiple cancer types including TNBCs that lack surface receptor expression and are thus the most difficult to treat among breast cancers. By analyzing the genetic testing reports of a breast cancer clinical case misdiagnosed with BRCA1 mutation, we characterized the importance of KAT6A in driving disease progression of this patient. Through exploring genes differentially regulated under physical interactions between KAT6A and SMAD3, we proposed the KAT6A/SMAD3/IL6/CD163 molecular axis capable of driving macrophage M2 polarization in the immune microenvironment of breast cancers. Through examining the expression landscapes of KAT6A at both transcriptional and translational levels, we proposed a possible role of KAT6A acetylation in reducing its ability in acetylating SMAD3 and subsequent oncogenic roles. Through analyzing the whole transcriptome and acetylome of TNBC cells in response to CAP treatment, we predicted the efficacy of CAP in resolving TNBCs via increasing KAT6A acetylation, which were validated both <em>in vitro</em> and <em>in vivo</em>. Our study, for the first time, presented the role of CAP in re-polarizing macrophages from the M2 to M1 state in the microenvironment of breast cancers via elevating KAT6A acetylation, and warranted careful interpretation of patients’ genetic testing reports by clinicians for the sake of minimizing mortalities due to inappropriate choice of therapeutic modalities.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":12407,"journal":{"name":"Free Radical Biology and Medicine","volume":"226 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.1,"publicationDate":"2024-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142699651","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we uncovered a critical mechanism by which CHCHD2 protected neuronal cells against oxidative stress with the ferroptosis pathway playing a pivotal role, as determined through tandem mass tags (TMT)-based proteomic analysis. The overexpression of CHCHD2 was observed to enhance cell viability, reduce levels of lipid peroxidation and reactive oxygen species (ROS), and upregulate the expression of the ferroptosis negative regulatory protein Glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) in PD cells. Conversely, CHCHD2 knockdown led to reduced cell viability, elevated lipid peroxidation, and a decreased expression of GPX4. Additionally, CHCHD2 overexpression ameliorated motor function impairment, reduced α-synuclein levels, and mitigated dopaminergic (DA) neuron loss in the substantia nigra and striatum of PD mice. Importantly, we show that the inhibitory effect of CHCHD2 on ferroptosis in PD is related to the GPX4 signaling pathway.
