NEET Proteins: A New Link Between Iron Metabolism, Reactive Oxygen Species, and Cancer.

Antioxidants & Redox Signaling
Ron MittlerRachel Nechushtai

Abstract

Cancer cells accumulate high levels of iron and reactive oxygen species (ROS) to promote their high metabolic activity and proliferation rate. However, high levels of iron and ROS can also lead to enhanced oxidative stress and the activation of cell death pathways such as apoptosis and ferroptosis. This has led to the proposal that different drugs that target iron and/or ROS metabolism could be used as anticancer drugs. However, due to the complex role iron and ROS play in cells, the majority of these drugs yielded mixed results, highlighting a critical need to identify new players in the regulation of iron and ROS homeostasis in cancer cells. Recent Advances: NEET proteins belong to a newly discovered class of iron-sulfur proteins (2Fe-2S) required for the regulation of iron and ROS homeostasis in cells. Recent studies revealed that the NEET proteins NAF-1 (CISD2) and mitoNEET (CISD1) play a critical role in promoting the proliferation of cancer cells, supporting tumor growth and metastasis. Moreover, the function of NEET proteins in cancer cells was found to be dependent of the degree of lability of their 2Fe-2S clusters. NEET proteins could represent a key regulatory link between the maintenance of high iron and ROS in cance...Continue Reading

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

Apoptosis in Cancer

Apoptosis is an important mechanism in cancer. By evading apoptosis, tumors can continue to grow without regulation and metastasize systemically. Many therapies are evaluating the use of pro-apoptotic activation to eliminate cancer growth. Here is the latest research on apoptosis in cancer.

Cancer Metabolism

In order for cancer cells to maintain rapid, uncontrolled cell proliferation, they must acquire a source of energy. Cancer cells acquire metabolic energy from their surrounding environment and utilize the host cell nutrients to do so. Here is the latest research on cancer metabolism.
