Ferritin degradation pathways, particularly NCOA4-mediated ferritinophagy, are crucial for maintaining iron homeostasis. Here, we demonstrate the coexistence of two NCOA4 isoforms, one iron-sulfur cluster-free and one iron-sulfur cluster-bound, in oxygenated cell cultures. Using a combination of spectroscopic and analytical techniques, in vitro characterization of the NCOA4 fragment (383-522), denoted NCOA4-D, revealed a predominance of monomeric species with a relatively stable [2Fe-2S] cluster under normoxic conditions. The results demonstrate distinct interactions between NCOA4-D isoforms and ferritin, underscoring the influence of cellular oxygen and iron concentrations on NCOA4's regulatory functions, pathways, and ferritin's fate. Our findings suggest that different NCOA4-initiated degradation pathways may concurrently occur in cells and highlight the necessity of further exploring the role of the Fe-S cluster in NCOA4 as an iron-sensing mechanism for maintaining cellular iron homeostasis.

Background: CDGSH iron-sulfur domain 2 (CISD2), an iron-sulfur protein with a [2Fe-2S] cluster, plays a pivotal role in the progression of various cancers, including Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma (DLBCL). However, the mechanisms by which CISD2 regulates the occurrence and development of DLBCL remain to be fully elucidated.
Methods: The potential role of CISD2 as a predictive marker in DLBCL patients treated with the R-CHOP regimen was investigated through bioinformatics analysis and clinical cohort studies.

Ferritin is a 24-mer protein nanocage that stores iron and regulates intracellular iron homeostasis. The nuclear receptor coactivator-4 (NCOA4) binds specifically to ferritin H subunits and facilitates the autophagic trafficking of ferritin to the lysosome for degradation and iron release. Using isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), we studied the thermodynamics of the interactions between ferritin and the soluble fragment of NCOA4 (residues 383-522), focusing on the effects of the recently identified FeS cluster bound to NCOA4, ferritin subunit composition, and ferritin-iron loading.

Osimertinib (Osi) is a widely used epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI). However, the emergence of resistance is inevitable, partly due to the gradual evolution of adaptive resistant cells during initial treatment. Here, we find that Osi treatment rapidly triggers adaptive resistance in tumor cells.

Although papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) has a good prognosis, its recurrence rate is high and remains a core concern in the clinic. Molecular factors contributing to different recurrence risks (RRs) remain poorly defined. Here, we perform an integrative proteogenomic and metabolomic characterization of 102 Chinese PTC patients with different RRs.
