RESUMO

Mitochondria are dynamic organelles that function in cellular energy metabolism, intracellular and extracellular signalling, cellular fate and stress responses. Mitochondria of the intestinal epithelium, the cellular interface between self and enteric microbiota, have emerged as crucial in intestinal health. Mitochondrial dysfunction occurs in gastrointestinal diseases, including inflammatory bowel diseases and colorectal cancer. In this Review, we provide an overview of the current understanding of intestinal epithelial cell mitochondrial metabolism, function and signalling to affect tissue homeostasis, including gut microbiota composition. We also discuss mitochondrial-targeted therapeutics for inflammatory bowel diseases and colorectal cancer and the evolving concept of mitochondrial impairment as a consequence versus initiator of the disease.

RESUMO

Colorectal cancer has been linked to chronic colitis and red meat consumption, which can increase colonic iron and heme. Heme oxygenase-1 ( Hmox1 ) metabolizes heme and releases ferrous iron, but its role in colonic tumorigenesis is not well-described. Recent studies suggest that ferroptosis, the iron-dependent form of cell death, protects against colonic tumorigenesis. Ferroptosis culminates in excessive lipid peroxidation that is constrained by the antioxidative glutathione pathway. We observed increased mucosal markers of ferroptosis and glutathione metabolism in the setting of murine and human colitis, as well as murine colonic neoplasia. We obtained similar results in murine and human colonic epithelial organoids exposed to heme and the ferroptosis activator erastin, especially induction of Hmox1 . RNA sequencing of colonic organoids from mice with deletion of intestinal epithelial Hmox1 (Hmox1 ΔIEC ) revealed increased ferroptosis and activated glutathione metabolism after heme exposure. In a colitis-associated cancer model we observed significantly fewer and smaller tumors in Hmox1 ΔIEC mice compared to littermate controls. Transcriptional profiling of Hmox1 ΔIEC tumors and tumor organoids revealed increased ferroptosis and oxidative stress markers in tumor epithelial cells. In total, our findings reveal ferroptosis as an important colitis-associated cancer signature pathway, and Hmox1 as a key regulator in the tumor microenvironment.
