HDAC3 aberration-incurred GPX4 suppression drives renal ferroptosis and AKI-CKD progression.

ABSTRACT: Acute kidney injury (AKI) progression to chronic kidney disease (CKD) represents a unique renal disease setting characterized by early renal cellular injury and regulated cell death, and later renal fibrosis, of which the critical role and nature of ferroptosis are only partially understood. Here, we report that renal tubular epithelial ferroptosis caused by HDAC3 (histone deacetylase 3) aberration and the resultant GPX4 suppression drives AKI-CKD progression. In mouse models of AKI-CKD transition induced by nephrotoxic aristolochic acid (AA) and folic acid (FA), renal tubular epithelial ferroptosis occurred early that coincided with preferential HDAC3 elevation and marked suppression of a core anti-ferroptosis enzyme GPX4 (glutathione peroxidase 4). Intriguingly, genetic Hdac3 knockout or
