مستخلص: Background: Hypoxia plays an important role in the chemotherapy resistance of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Ferroptosis is a newly discovered form of programmed cell death and ferroptosis inducers showed promising therapeutic effects in some cancers. However, the sensibility of NPC cells to ferroptosis under the hypoxic microenvironment is still unclear, and this study was designed to clarify it. Methods: NPC cells, treated with erastin, were placed in a normoxia or hypoxic environment (5% CO2, 94% N2 and 1% O2) at 37℃for 24 h. After exposed to hypoxia, ferroptosis-associated phenotypes were detected by CCK8, MDA, GSH, lipid ROS and Fe. The gene expression profiles of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) tissues were downloaded from the TCGA database to screen construction molecule. BAP1 was screened out and its functions on erastin-induced ferroptosis in NPC cells were detected by knockdown of BAP1. Luciferase reporter assay and co-IP experiment were performed to explore the molecular mechanism. Finally, the tumour xenograft model was applied to further verify these results in vivo. Results: CCK8 assay showed that IC50 of NPC cells treated with erastin under hypoxia was significantly lower than that under normoxia. Hypoxia significantly increased the levels of lipid ROS and MDA, and decreased GSH content induced by erastin. A prognostic risk model for HNSCC with six ferroptosis-related genes was constructed and validated based on TCGA database. BAP1 was significantly up-regulated under hypoxia, and luciferase reporter assay showed that HIF-1α was an upstream transcription regulator of BAP1. Knockdown of BAP1 in NPC cells significantly increased the IC50 value of erastin under hypoxia and significantly ameliorated erastin-induced ferroptosis under hypoxia in aspect of lipid ROS, MDA content and GSH. Co-IP results showed that BAP1 mediated deubiquitination of H2A and decreased SLC7A11 expression. Finally, knockdown of BAP1 reduced sensitivity to erastin-induced ferroptosis in a tumour xenograft model. And the level of H2A was significantly decreased in xenograft tumors of BAP1 knockdown cells. Conclusion: Hypoxia-induced BAP1 enhances erastin-induced ferroptosis in NPC by stabilizing H2A. Ferroptosis inducers targeting BAP1 may be an effective way to improve chemotherapy resistance in NPC, especially in the hypoxic microenvironment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
