Involvement of cigarette smoke-induced epithelial cell ferroptosis in COPD pathogenesis.

ABSTRACT: Ferroptosis is a necrotic form of regulated cell death (RCD) mediated by phospholipid peroxidation in association with free iron-mediated Fenton reactions. Disrupted iron homeostasis resulting in excessive oxidative stress has been implicated in the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Here, we demonstrate the involvement of ferroptosis in COPD pathogenesis. Our in vivo and in vitro models show labile iron accumulation and enhanced lipid peroxidation with concomitant non-apoptotic cell death during cigarette smoke (CS) exposure, which are negatively regulated by GPx4 activity. Treatment with deferoxamine and ferrostatin-1, in addition to GPx4 knockdown, illuminate the role of ferroptosis in CS-treated lung epithelial cells. NCOA4-mediated ferritin selective autophagy (ferritinophagy) is initiated during ferritin degradation in response to CS treatment. CS exposure models, using both GPx4-deficient and overexpressing mice, clarify the pivotal role of GPx4-regulated cell death during COPD. These findings support a role for cigarette smoke-induced ferroptosis in the pathogenesis of COPD.

Project description:BackgroundCD147 is expressed in many tissues and is involved in many inflammatory diseases. Emerging evidence suggests that the overproduction of mucus is a malignant factor in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which results in severe airway obstruction and repeated airway infections. However, it is still unclear whether CD147 is involved in mucus production in COPD.MethodsWe determined the expression levels of CD147 and MUC5AC by immunohistochemistry in 42 human lung specimens from three groups (non-smokers without COPD, smokers without COPD and smokers with COPD). For the in vitro experiment, human bronchial epithelial (HBE) cells were treated with cigarette smoke (CS) extract to establish a mucus secretion model; then, CD147 and MUC5AC production were detected by RT-PCR, Western blotting and ELISA. To determine how CD147 is involved in MUC5AC secretion, HBE cells were transfected with small interfering RNA to silence CD147 and pretreated with inhibitors of MMP9 and p38 MAPK, which are common signaling molecules involved in MUC5AC secretion; then, MUC5AC expression was evaluated.ResultsCompared with the expression levels in the non-smokers and smokers without COPD, CD147 and MUC5AC expression levels were higher in the smokers with COPD. In the in vitro experiment, CD147 and MUC5AC expression levels were significantly increased after CS extract incubation compared with those after no treatment. Silencing CD147 by siRNA decreased the CS extract-induced MUC5AC secretion and MMP9 and phosphorylated p38 MAPK production. In addition, inhibiting MMP9 or p38 MAPK decreased the CS extract-induced MUC5AC secretion.ConclusionsIn lung specimens, CD147 and MUC5AC expression levels were increased in COPD patients. Increased CD147 levels induced by CS extract could stimulate MUC5AC secretion through the MMP9 and p38 MAPK signaling pathway in HBE cells. Therefore, the regulation of CD147 could be a promising target for mucus hypersecretion in COPD.
