Nrf2 inhibits ferroptosis and protects against acute lung injury due to intestinal ischemia reperfusion via regulating SLC7A11 and HO-1.

ABSTRACT: Acute lung injury (ALI) is a syndrome associated with a high mortality rate. Nrf2 is a key regulator of intracellular oxidation homeostasis that plays a pivotal role in controlling lipid peroxidation, which is closely related to the process of ferroptosis. However, the intrinsic effect of Nrf2 on ferroptosis remains to be investigated in ALI. We found that MDA expression increased while GSH and GPX4 decreased in ALI models. Furthermore, the characteristic mitochondrial morphological changes of ferroptosis appear in type II alveolar epithelial cells in IIR models. Additional pre-treatment of Fe and Ferrostatin-1 in ALI significantly aggravated or ameliorated the pathological injuries of lung tissue, pulmonary edema, lipid peroxidation, as well as promoted or prevented cell death, respectively. Knocking down Nrf2 notably decreased the expression of SLC7A11 and HO-1. Interference with SLC7A11 markedly increased Nrf2-HO-1 and dramatically attenuated cell death in OGD/R models. These findings indicate that ferroptosis can be inhibited by Nrf2 through regulating SLC7A11 and HO-1, which may provide a potential therapeutic strategy for IIR-ALI.

Project description:Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (MI/R) injury is characterized by iron deposition and reactive oxygen species production, which can induce ferroptosis. Ferroptosis has also been proposed to promote cardiomyocyte death. The current study sought to define the mechanism governing cardiomyocyte death in MI/R injury. An animal model of MI/R was established by ligation and perfusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery, and a cellular model of IR was constructed in cardiomyocytes. ChIP assay was then conducted to determine the interaction among USP22, SIRT1, p53, and SLC7A11. Loss- and gain-of-function assays were also conducted to determine the in vivo and in vitro roles of USP22, SIRT1, and SLC7A11. The infarct size and pathological changes of myocardial tissue were observed using TCC and hematoxylin-eosin staining, and the levels of cardiac function- and myocardial injury-related factors of rats were determined. Cardiomyocyte viability and apoptosis were evaluated in vitro, followed by detection of ferroptosis-related indicators (glutathione (GSH), reactive oxygen species, lipid peroxidation, and iron accumulation). USP22, SIRT1, and SLC7A11 expressions were found to be down-regulated, whereas p53 was highly expressed during MI/R injury. USP22, SIRT1, or SLC7A11 overexpression reduced the infarct size and ameliorated pathological conditions, cardiac function, as evidenced by reduced maximum pressure, ejection fraction, maximum pressure rate, and myocardial injury characterized by lower creatine phosphokinase and lactate dehydrogenase levels in vivo. Moreover, USP22, SIRT1, or SLC7A11 elevation contributed to enhanced cardiomyocyte viability and attenuated ferroptosis-induced cell death in vitro, accompanied by increased GSH levels, as well as decreased reactive oxygen species production, lipid peroxidation, and iron accumulation. Together, these results demonstrate that USP22 overexpression could inhibit ferroptosis-induced cardiomyocyte death to protect against MI/R injury via the SIRT1/p53/SLC7A11 association.
