Gp78 deficiency in hepatocytes alleviates hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury via suppressing ACSL4-mediated ferroptosis.

ABSTRACT: Ferroptosis, which is driven by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation, plays an essential role in liver ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) during liver transplantation (LT). Gp78, an E3 ligase, has been implicated in lipid metabolism and inflammation. However, its role in liver IRI and ferroptosis remains unknown. Here, hepatocyte-specific gp78 knockout (HKO) or overexpressed (OE) mice were generated to examine the effect of gp78 on liver IRI, and a multi-omics approach (transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics) was performed to explore the potential mechanism. Gp78 expression decreased after reperfusion in LT patients and mice with IRI, and gp78 expression was positively correlated with liver damage. Gp78 absence from hepatocytes alleviated liver damage in mice with IRI, ameliorating inflammation. However, mice with hepatic gp78 overexpression showed the opposite phenotype. Mechanistically, gp78 overexpression disturbed lipid homeostasis, remodeling polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) metabolism, causing oxidized lipids accumulation and ferroptosis, partly by promoting ACSL4 expression. Chemical inhibition of ferroptosis or ACSL4 abrogated the effects of gp78 on ferroptosis and liver IRI. Our findings reveal a role of gp78 in liver IRI pathogenesis and uncover a mechanism by which gp78 promotes hepatocyte ferroptosis by ACSL4, suggesting the gp78-ACSL4 axis as a feasible target for the treatment of IRI-associated liver damage.

Project description:HJ11 is a novel traditional Chinese medicine developed from the appropriate addition and reduction of Si-Miao-Yong-An decoction, which has been commonly used to treat ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in the clinical setting. However, the mechanism of action of HJ11 components remains unclear. Ferroptosis is a critical factor that promotes myocardial I/R injury, and the pathophysiological ferroptosis-mediated lipid peroxidation causes I/R injury. Therefore, this study explored whether HJ11 decoction ameliorates myocardial I/R injury by attenuating ACSL4-mediated ferroptosis. This study also explored the effect of ACSL4 expression on iron-dependent programmed cell death by preparing a rat model of myocardial I/R injury and oxygen glucose deprivation/reperfusion (OGD/R)-induced H9c2 cells. The results showed that HJ11 decoction improved cardiac function; attenuated I/R injury, apoptosis, oxidative stress, mitochondrial damage, and iron accumulation; and reduced infarct size in the myocardial I/R injury rat model. Additionally, HJ11 decoction suppressed the expression of ferroptosis-promoting proteins [Acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4 (ACSL4) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX2)] but promoted the expression of ferroptosis-inhibiting proteins [ferritin heavy chain 1 (FTH1) and glutathione-dependent lipid hydroperoxidase glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4)] in the myocardial tissues of the I/R injury rat model. Similar results were found with the OGD/R-induced H9c2 cells. Interestingly, ACSL4 knockdown attenuated iron accumulation, oxidative stress, and ferroptosis in the OGD/R-treated H9c2 cells. However, ACSL4 overexpression counteracted the inhibitory effect of the HJ11 decoction on OGD/R-triggered oxidative stress and ferroptosis in H9c2 cells. These findings suggest that HJ11 decoction restrained the development of myocardial I/R injury by regulating ACSL4-mediated ferroptosis. Thus, HJ11 decoction may be an effective medication to treat myocardial I/R injury.
