Project description:Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent programmed cell death associated with severe kidney diseases, linked to decreased glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4). However, the spatial distribution of renal GPX4-mediated ferroptosis and the molecular events causing GPX4 reduction during ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) remain largely unknown. Using spatial transcriptomics, we identify that GPX4 is situated at the interface of the inner cortex and outer medulla, a hyperactive ferroptosis site post-I/R injury. We show that OTU deubiquitinase 5 (OTUD5) is a GPX4-binding protein that confers ferroptosis resistance by stabilizing GPX4. During I/R, ferroptosis is induced by mTORC1-mediated autophagy, causing OTUD5 degradation and subsequent GPX4 decay. Functionally, OTUD5 deletion intensifies renal tubular cell ferroptosis and exacerbates acute kidney injury, while AAV-mediated OTUD5 delivery mitigates ferroptosis and promotes renal function recovery from I/R injury. In this work, our study highlights a new autophagy-dependent ferroptosis module: hypoxia/ischemia-induced OTUD5 autophagy triggers GPX4 degradation, offering a potential therapeutic avenue for I/R-related kidney diseases.

Project description:Characterized by lethal iron accumulation and lipid peroxidation, ferroptosis plays critical roles in liver injury, especially caused by ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) of hepatic inflow occlusion during liver operation. Here, we found that the excessive production of reactive oxygen species could decrease the expression of Interferon (IFN)-stimulated gene DExH-box helicase 58 (DHX58) in hepatocytes, and then promote hepatic ferroptosis, while pre-treatment using IFN-α increased DHX58 expression and prevented ferroptosis during I/R injury. Mechanistically, DHX58 with RNA-binding activity could constitutively associate the mRNA of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), a crucial ferroptosis suppressor, and then recruit the m6A reader YT521-B homology domain containing 2 (YTHDC2) to promote the translation of Gpx4 mRNA in m6A-dependent manner, thus enhancing GPX4 protein level and preventing hepatic ferroptosis.

Project description:Aims: Oligoasthenozoospermia (OAS) causes male infertility. However, the etiology and pathogenesis of OAS are unclear, and specific therapy is lacking. Ferroptosis contributes to the progress of various diseases; however, its role in OAS is unknown. This study aimed to explore the mechanism of OAS and to find effective treatments. Results: Human OAS sperm exhibits biochemical and morphological hallmarks of ferroptosis. Ferroptosis represents a crucial role in OAS induced by cyclophosphamide (CP) of mice in vivo, and inhibiting ferroptosis can effectively improve OAS. Further search for safe, stable and clinically applicable of natural compounds found Salidroside （Sal）improved the sperm quality of OAS by attenuates ferroptosis-mediated lipid peroxidation in germ cells by increasing the expression of GPX4, and thus ameliorates OAS in vivo. To further investigate at which stage of spermatogenesis Sal acts, the result revealed that Sal increases the expression of GPX4 starting from primary spermatocytes gradually by immunohistochemistry. In vitro, we verified the above results in vivo using a mouse spermatocytes cell line, GC-2 cells. Mechanistically, integrated RNA-Seq and bioinformatic analysis showed that Sal likely promotes GPX4 expression by inhibiting NF-κB Pathway, thereby inhibiting ferroptosis. Innovation: Our findings support the view that ferroptosis plays an important role in patients with OAS, and provide convincing evidence that Sal ameliorates OAS by inhibiting ferroptosis-mediated lipid peroxidation via NF-κB pathway suppression. Conclusions: Thus, ferroptosis plays an important role in OAS, and Sal could ameliorate OAS by attenuating ferroptosis-mediated lipid peroxidation via NF-κB pathway inhibition.

Project description:Characterized by lethal iron accumulation and lipid peroxidation, ferroptosis plays critical roles in liver injury, especially caused by ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) of hepatic inflow occlusion during liver operation. However, the lack of effective and safe clinical precautionary measure is still the main problem in preventing hepatic ferroptosis. Here, we found that the excessive production of reactive oxygen species could decrease the expression of Interferon (IFN)-stimulated gene DExH-box helicase 58 (DHX58) in hepatocytes, and then promote hepatic ferroptosis, while pre-treatment using IFN-α increased DHX58 expression and prevented ferroptosis during I/R injury. Mechanistically, DHX58 with RNA-binding activity could constitutively associate the mRNA of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), a crucial ferroptosis suppressor, and then recruit the m6A reader YT521-B homology domain containing 2 (YTHDC2) to promote the translation of Gpx4 mRNA in m6A-dependent manner, thus enhancing GPX4 protein level and preventing hepatic ferroptosis. Therefore, we provide mechanistic evidence for the IFN-stimulated DHX58 in promoting the translation of m6A-modified Gpx4 mRNA, and suggest the promising clinical potential of IFN-α pre-treatment in the prevention of hepatic ferroptosis.

Project description:Numerous neurological diseases involve neuroinflammation, a process in which immune cells, particularly microglia, contribute to neuronal death. Ferroptosis, a recently identified form of regulated cell death, is implicated in various diseases characterized by neuronal injury. Nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), a potent NAD+ precursor supplement, has been found to inhibit neuroinflammation and ferroptosis. However, the mechanisms of NMN in both ferroptosis and neuroinflammation remains unclear. The present study aimed to investigate the impact of NMN on neuroinflammation and the susceptibility of microglia to ferroptosis. Ferroptosis markers in microglia exposed to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) were analyzed using CCK8, flow cytometry, ELISA, and RT-qPCR. The effects of NMN on LPS-induced ferroptosis in microglia were evaluated through flow cytometry, western blotting, and immunofluorescence staining. RT-qPCR analysis assessed the inflammatory cytokine production of microglia subjected to ferrostatin-1-regulated ferroptosis. RNA sequencing elucidated the underlying mechanisms of NMN-associated microglia ferroptosis under LPS induction. In BV2 microglia, an inhibitor of Glutathione Peroxidase 4(GPX4), RSL3, was employed to suppress GPX4 expression. Intracerebroventricular injection of LPS was performed to evaluate neuroinflammation and microglia activation in vivo. LPS treatment resulted in decreased cell viability, accompanied by upregulation of ferroptosis markers SLC7A11 and GPX4, and elevated levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE), and total iron in a dose-dependent manner. NMN effectively rescued LPS-induced ferroptosis and improved cell viability in microglia. Co-administration of NMN and ferrostatin-1 significantly reduced proinflammatory cytokine production in microglia following the introduction of LPS stimuli. Mechanistically, NMN facilitated glutathione (GSH) production, and promoted resistance to lipid peroxidation in a GPX4-dependent manner, repressing cytokine transcription and protecting cells from ferroptosis. RNA sequencing elucidated the underlying mechanism of NMN-associated microglia ferroptosis under LPS induction. Furthermore, simultaneous injection of NMN ameliorated LPS-induced ferroptosis and neuroinflammation in mouse brains. The data from the present study indicated that NMN enhances GPX4-mediated ferroptosis defense against LPS-induced ferroptosis in microglia by recruiting GSH, thereby inhibiting neuroinflammation. Therefore, therapeutic approaches targeting ferroptosis in diseases using NMN should consider both its anti-ferroptosis and anti-inflammatory effects to achieve optimal outcomes, presenting promising strategies for treating neuroinflammation-related diseases or disorders.

Project description:Ferroptosis is associated with lipid hydroperoxides generated by oxidation of polyunsaturated acyl chains. Lipid hydroperoxides are reduced by glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) and GPX4 inhibitors induce ferroptosis. However, the therapeutic potential of triggering ferroptosis in cancer cells with polyunsaturated fatty acids is unknown. We identified conjugated linoleates including α-eleostearic acid (αESA) as novel ferroptosis inducers. αESA did not alter GPX4 activity but was incorporated into cellular lipids and promoted lipid peroxidation and cell death in diverse cancer cell types. αESA-triggered death was mediated by acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain isoform 1, which promoted αESA incorporation into neutral lipids including triacylglycerols. Interfering with triacylglycerol biosynthesis suppressed ferroptosis triggered by αESA but not by GPX4 inhibition. Orally administered tung oil, naturally rich in αESA, limited tumor growth and metastasis with transcriptional changes consistent with ferroptosis. Overall, these findings illuminate a novel approach to ferroptosis, complementary to GPX4 inhibition, with therapeutic potential.

Project description:Ferroptosis, a non-apoptotic form of programmed cell death, is triggered by oxidative stress in cancer, heat stress in plants and hemorrhagic stroke. A homeostatic transcriptional response to ferroptotic stimuli is unknown. We show that neurons respond to ferroptotic stress by induction of a transcriptional adaptive response. Pharmacological selenium (Se) augments mitochondrial and nuclear GPX4 and other genes in this transcriptional program, the selenome, via coordinated activation of the transcription factors TFAP2c and Sp1, to protect neurons. This RNA seq data uses primary cortical neurons in cultures treated with either homocysteic acid (HCA), which induces ferroptosis and/or Se, which augments the adaptation to ferroptosis. Both protective (1mM Se) and non-protective (0.1mM Se) of selenium are used. Cells are collected after 6 hours when the transcriptional response is observed.

Project description:Microglia play significant roles in spinal cord injury (SCI) progression. Previous studies have suggested that ferroptosis plays a crucial role in exacerbating neuronal death following SCI; however, the role of microglial ferroptosis in SCI and the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Here, we elucidate that lipid droplets accumulate in microglia to facilitate microglial ferroptosis after SCI. Notably, microglial ferroptosis peaks at 3 days post-injury, after which it decreases. Microglial Period 2 (Per2) expression is elevated after SCI in vivo; this change is highly synchronized with the changes in microglial ferroptosis. Microglia-specific Per2 knockout promoted neurological function recovery by suppressing microglial ferroptosis. In vitro, Per2 overexpression and deficiency amplified and mitigated microglial ferroptosis, respectively. RNA-seq indicated that Gpx4 was downregulated by Per2. Coimmunoprecipitation demonstrated that Per2 directly interacted with PPARα. Overall, our results indicate that Per2 determines the susceptibility of microglial ferroptosis via the PPARα-Gpx4 axis after SCI.
