Dipeptidyl peptidase 4: A predictor of ferroptosis in ulcerative colitis
Background
With its rapidly increasing incidence and prevalence, ulcerative colitis (UC) has become a major global health challenge. Recent evidence suggests that ferroptosis plays a significant role in the development of UC. However, the relationship between ferroptosis and the progression of UC needs to be extensively studied.
Methods
The differentially expressed genes in UC patients were screened from the GEO database. The ferroptosis-related genes were obtained from FErrDB and GeneCards. The UC subtypes were identified with the R package “CancerSubtype” and evaluated with consensus clustering (CC) to identify gene expression patterns in patients with UC. The key genes were detected with qRT-PCR, Western blot, and immunohistochemistry in vitro and in vivo models. Ferroptosis was identified with western blotting on ferrotic-associated proteins and staining on Fe2+ with commercial FerroOrange kits.
Results
Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4), also known as CD26, is a potential biomarker for ferroptosis in UC patients. Transcriptome sequencing data showed a positive correlation between decreased DPP4 expression and proinflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-β, as well as immune cell infiltration in the colon tissues of UC patients. Furthermore, DPP4 was strongly associated with ferroptosis biomarkers, particularly in Subtype 2 of UC. Interestingly, our study also found that DPP4 expression was significantly reduced in RSL3-treated ferroptotic intestinal epithelial cells, more so than in LPS-treated cell models. Inhibition of DPP4 had a significant impact on the expression of ferroptotic biomarkers. Additionally, DPP4 expression was decreased in the colon tissues of DSS-treated mice, and the ferroptosis inhibitor Ferritin-1 effectively counteracted the effects of DSS on immune cell infiltration, colon length, and DPP4 expression.
Conclusions
DPP4 can serve as a biomarker for ferroptosis in the diagnosis and management of UC.
期刊介绍：
The aims and scope of The Journal of Gene Medicine include cutting-edge science of gene transfer and its applications in gene and cell therapy, genome editing with precision nucleases, epigenetic modifications of host genome by small molecules, siRNA, microRNA and other noncoding RNAs as therapeutic gene-modulating agents or targets, biomarkers for precision medicine, and gene-based prognostic/diagnostic studies.
Key areas of interest are the design of novel synthetic and viral vectors, novel therapeutic nucleic acids such as mRNA, modified microRNAs and siRNAs, antagomirs, aptamers, antisense and exon-skipping agents, refined genome editing tools using nucleic acid /protein combinations, physically or biologically targeted delivery and gene modulation, ex vivo or in vivo pharmacological studies including animal models, and human clinical trials.
Papers presenting research into the mechanisms underlying transfer and action of gene medicines, the application of the new technologies for stem cell modification or nucleic acid based vaccines, the identification of new genetic or epigenetic variations as biomarkers to direct precision medicine, and the preclinical/clinical development of gene/expression signatures indicative of diagnosis or predictive of prognosis are also encouraged.
