RESUMO

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a prevalent form of gastrointestinal malignancy with challenges in chemotherapy resistance and side effects. Effective and low toxic drugs for CRC treatment are urgently needed. Ferroptosis is a novel mode of cell death, which has garnered attention for its therapeutic potential against cancer. Baicalein (5, 6, 7-trihydroxyflavone) is the primary flavone extracted from the dried roots of Scutellaria baicalensis that exhibits anticancer effects against several malignancies including CRC. In this study, we investigated whether baicalein induced ferroptosis in CRC cells. We showed that baicalein (1-64 µM) dose-dependently inhibited the viability of human CRC lines HCT116 and DLD1. Co-treatment with the ferroptosis inhibitor liproxstatin-1 (1 µM) significantly mitigated baicalein-induced CRC cell death, whereas autophagy inhibitor chloroquine (25 µM), necroptosis inhibitor necrostatin-1 (10 µM), or pan-caspase inhibitor Z-VAD-FMK (10 µM) did not rescue baicalein-induced CRC cell death. RNA-seq analysis confirmed that the inhibitory effect of baicalein on CRC cells is associated with ferroptosis induction. We revealed that baicalein (7.5-30 µM) dose-dependently decreased the expression levels of GPX4, key regulator of ferroptosis, in HCT116 and DLD1 cells by blocking janus kinase 2 (JAK2)/STAT3 signaling pathway via direct interaction with JAK2, ultimately leading to ferroptosis in CRC cells. In a CRC xenograft mouse model, administration of baicalein (10, 20 mg/kg, i.g., every two days for two weeks) dose-dependently inhibited the tumor growth with significant ferroptosis induced by inhibiting the JAK2/STAT3/GPX4 axis in tumor tissue. This study demonstrates that ferroptosis contributes to baicalein-induced anti-CRC activity through blockade of the JAK2/STAT3/GPX4 signaling pathway, which provides evidence for the therapeutic application of baicalein against CRC.

RESUMO

We report here the synthesis and characterization of two endohedral Zintl-ion clusters, [Fe4Sn18]4- and [Fe4Pb18]4-, which contain rhombic Fe4 cores. The Fe-Fe bond lengths are all below 2.5 Å, distinctly shorter than in the corresponding Cu clusters, indicating the presence of Fe-Fe bonding. Subtle differences in the structure of the Fe4 core between the two clusters suggest that the change in tetrel element causes a change in electronic ground state, with a very short Fe-Fe bond length of 2.328 Å present across the diagonal of the rhombus in the lead case.

RESUMO

The endohedral Zintl-ion cluster [Fe3Sn18]4- contains a linear Fe3 core with short Fe-Fe bond lengths of 2.4300(9) Å. The ground state is a septet, with significant σ and π contributions to the Fe-Fe bonds. The Sn18 cage is made up of two partially fused Sn9 fragments, and is structurally intermediate between [Ni2CdSn18]6-, where the fragments are clearly separated and [Pd2Sn18]4-, where they are completely fused. It therefore represents an intermediate stage in cluster growth. Analysis of the electronic structure suggests that the presence of the linear Fe-Fe-Fe unit is an important factor in directing reactions towards fusion of the two Sn9 units rather than the alternative of oligomerization via exo bond formation.

RESUMO

We report here the synthesis and structural characterization of the first binary iron arsenide cluster anion, [Fe3 (As3 )3 (As4 )]3- , present in both [K([2.2.2]crypt)]3 [Fe3 (As3 )3 (As4 )] (1) and [K(18-crown-6)]3 [Fe3 (As3 )3 (As4 )]⋅en (2). The cluster contains an Fe3 triangle with three short Fe-Fe bond lengths (2.494(1) Å, 2.459(1) Šand 2.668(2) Šfor 1, 2.471(1) Å, 2.473(1) Šand 2.660(1) Šfor 2), bridged by a 2-butene-like As4 unit. An analysis of the electronic structure using DFT reveals a triplet ground state with direct Fe-Fe bonds stabilizing the Fe3 core.
