"Iron free" zinc oxide nanoparticles with ion-leaking properties disrupt intracellular ROS and iron homeostasis to induce ferroptosis.


ABSTRACT: Exposure to nanomaterials (NMs) is an emerging threat to human health, and the understanding of their intracellular behavior and related toxic effects is urgently needed. Ferroptosis is a newly discovered, iron-mediated cell death that is distinctive from apoptosis or other cell-death pathways. No evidence currently exists for the effect of "iron free" engineered NMs on ferroptosis. We showed by several approaches that (1) zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs)-induced cell death involves ferroptosis; (2) ZnO NPs-triggered ferroptosis is associated with elevation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lipid peroxidation, along with depletion of glutathione (GSH) and downregulation of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPx4); (3) ZnO NPs disrupt intracellular iron homeostasis by orchestrating iron uptake, storage and export; (4) p53 largely participates in ZnO NPs-induced ferroptosis; and (5) ZnO particle remnants and dissolved zinc ion both contribute to ferroptosis. In conclusion, our data provide a new mechanistic rationale for ferroptosis as a novel cell-death phenotype induced by engineered NMs.
