RIPK4 promotes oxidative stress and ferroptotic death through the downregulation of ACSM1

ABSTRACT: One of the most critical axes for cell fate determination is how cells respond to excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS)-oxidative stress. Extensive lipid peroxidation commits cells to death via a distinct cell death paradigm termed ferroptosis. However, the molecular mechanism regulating cellular fates to distinct ROS remains incompletely understood. Through siRNA against human receptor-interacting protein kinases (RIPK) family members, we discovered that RIPK4 is crucial for oxidative stress and ferroptotic death. Upon ROS induction, RIPK4 is rapidly activated and the kinase activity of RIPK4 is indispensable to induce cell death. Specific ablation of RIPK4 in kidney proximal tubules protects mice from acute kidney injury induced by cisplatin and renal ischemia/reperfusion. RNA sequencing revealed the dramatically decreased expression of acyl-CoA synthetase medium-chain (ACSM) family members induced by cisplatin treatment which is compromised in RIPK4 deficient mice. Among these ACSM family members, suppression of ACSM1 strongly augments oxidative stress and ferroptotic cell death with induced expression of ACSL4, an important component for ferroptosis execution. Our lipidome analysis revealed that over-expression of ACSM1 leads to the accumulation of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs), attenuation of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) production, and thereby cellular resistance to ferroptosis. Hence, knock-down ACSM1 re-sensitizes RIPK4 KO cells to oxidative stress and ferroptotic death. In conclusion, RIPK4 is a key player involved in oxidative stress and ferroptotic death, which is potentially important for a broad spectrum of human pathologies. The link between RIPK4-ASCM1 axis to PUFAs and ferroptosis reveals a novel mechanism to oxidative stress induced necrosis and ferroptosis.

Project description:Ferroptosis is a form of regulated cell death driven by lipid peroxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). Endogenous PUFAs are nonconjugated PUFAs and their peroxidation proceeds via the hydrogen-atom transfer (HAT) mechanism. We previously reported that lipids with conjugated double bonds undergo lipid peroxidation mostly via a different mechanism, peroxyl radical addition (PRA), and were much more readily oxidizable than nonconjugated ones. In this study, we aim to elucidate the effects of various unsaturated lipids in sensitizing ferroptosis. We found that while some peroxidation-reactive lipids, such as 7-dehydrocholesterol, vitamins D3 and A, and coenzyme Q10, suppress ferroptosis, both nonconjugated and conjugated PUFAs enhanced cell death induced by RSL3, a ferroptosis inducer. Importantly, we showed that conjugated linolenic acid (CLA 18:3) could act as a ferroptosis inducer by itself and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA 18:2) was more potent in sensitizing cells to RSL3-induced cell death than any nonconjugated PUFAs. We next sought to elucidate the mechanism underlying the different ferroptosis-inducing potency of conjugated and nonconjugated PUFAs. Lipidomics revealed that conjugated and nonconjugated PUFAs are incorporated into distinct cellular lipid species. Furthermore, the different peroxidation mechanisms predict the formation of higher levels of reactive electrophilic aldehydes from conjugated PUFAs than nonconjugated PUFAs, which was confirmed by aldehyde-trapping and mass spectrometry. RNA sequencing revealed that protein processing in the endoplasmic reticulum and proteasome are among the most significantly upregulated pathways in cells treated with CLA 18:3, suggesting increased ER stress and activation of unfolded protein response. Significantly, using click chemistry, we observed increased protein adduction by oxidized lipids in cells treated with an alkynylated CLA 18:2 probe. These results suggest that protein damage by lipid electrophiles is a key step in ferroptosis.
