Project description:Nrf1 is a transcription factor that is highly conserved and reacts to oxidative, proteotoxic and endoplasmic reticulum stress in cells; nonetheless, its function in the context of acute kidney injury (AKI) remains unclear. Using a model of cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity in vitro and in vivo, we found that the expression of Nrf1, which is expressed at high levels in renal tubular cells, was significantly downregulated after cisplatin treatment. Proximal tubule-specific Nrf1 knockout worsened and Nrf1 overexpression attenuated cisplatin-induced (CI)-AKI. RNA sequencing analysis revealed that Nrf1 overexpression decreased the number of transcripts involved in cell death, specifically those associated with ferroptosis, after cisplatin treatment. Furthermore, ferroptosis responses, characterized by increased lipid peroxidation and iron content and decreased FPN, XCT and glutathione peroxidase 4 levels, were attenuated in Nrf1-overexpressing HK-2 cells but worsened in Nrf1-knockout mice and Nrf1-knockdown HK-2 cells. Moreover, lipidomic and RNA sequencing results indicated that Nrf1 regulated the levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and inhibited the expression of ACSL4. Additionally, ChIP experiments revealed that Nrf1 bound to the promoter region of ACSL4, thereby inhibiting its transcription. Furthermore, inhibitors of ACSL4 significantly reduced the sensitivity of HK-2 cells to ferroptosis induced by Nrf1 knockdown. Collectively, these findings suggest that Nrf1 is a novel target for inhibiting ferroptosis in renal tubule cells by suppressing the transcription and expression of ACSL4, thereby reducing PUFA levels. Consequently, activators developed for Nrf1 may hold therapeutic potential in the treatment of patients with CI-AKI.

Project description:Ferroptosis is a form of regulated necrotic cell death controlled by glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4). At present, mechanisms that could predict sensitivity and/or resistance and that may be exploited to modulate this form of cell death are needed. We applied two independent approaches, a genome-wide CRISPR-based genetic screen and microarray analysis of ferroptosis-resistant cell lines to uncover acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4 (Acsl4) as an essential component for ferroptosis execution.

Project description:Background: Characterized by high incidence, mutilation, and death rate, acute ischemic stroke (AIS) has threatened people’s health seriously. Therefore, there is an urge need for early diagnosis and effective treatment of AIS. The purpose of this study was to clarify the regulatory role and potential molecular mechanism of miR-342-5p and circRNA_0008146 in AIS. Materials and Methods: Small RNA sequencing analysis was performed to screen differentially expressed miRNAs between the AIS and control group. Middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion (MCAO/R) models were constructed in C57BL/6J mice. The circRNA_0008146 and miRNA expression levels were detected by quantitative real-time PCR. Assay kits were used to determine Fe2+ levels and assess a battery of oxidative stress indicators, including ROS, MDA, LPO, SOD, and GSH/GSSG. The content of ACSL4 was measured by Western blot. The neurobehavioral manifestation was evaluated using the modified Neurological Severity (mNSS) Score, rotarod test, and corner test. TTC staining was employed to detect cerebral infarction volume. Nissl staining was adapted to detect histological change and neuronal damage. Results: RNA sequencing analysis revealed miR-342-5p was significantly downregulated in the plasma of AIS patients. MiR-342-5p inhibited oxidative stress and RSL3-induced ferroptosis after cerebral ischemic-reperfusion injury in vivo by targeting ferroptosis-related gene ACSL4. CircRNA_0008146 acted as a sponge of miR-342-5p, and overexpression of circRNA_0008146 increased brain damage in stroke mice. CircRNA_0008146 contributed to ferroptosis in cerebral infraction via sponging miR-342-5p to regulate ACSL4. Conclusion: CircRNA_0008146/miR-342-5p/ACSL4 axis regulate ferroptosis after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion, which may be a potential therapeutic target for ischemic stroke.

Project description:Farnesoid X receptor (FXR, also known as NR1H4) is crucial to nephroprotective in several kinds of kidney diseases, including obesity, diabetes, aging, acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease. FXR plays a key role in maintaining cholesterol and bile acid levels and is highly expressed in the liver, intestine and kidneys. In kidney diseases, it is reported that FXR has anti-lipogenic, anti‐inflammatory, antifibrotic, and antioxidant functions. Here, using genomics analysis, we investigated whether FXR attenuates cisplatin-induced AKI through the regulation of ferroptosis. The increased blood urea nitrogen, serum creatinine and ferroptotic responses in cisplatin-induced AKI mice were attenuated by treatment with FXR agonist, GW4064, while those were exacerbated in FXR knockout mice. Using RNA-sequencing analysis, we found novel target genes for FXR associated with ferroptosis. FXR agonist treatment increases lipid and glutathione metabolic gene expression and decreases cell death genes expression. This study identifies transcriptional regulation of ferroptosis by FXR as a potential therapeutic target for cisplatin-induced AKI.

Project description:We conducted a proteomic interactome analysis of well-known regulators of ferroptosis, ACSL4, LPCAT3, ALOX12, ALOX15, PEBP1, NCOA4, GCH1, FSP1, DHODH, SLC7A11, GCLC, GCLM, GSS, and GPX4. Take LPCAT3 as an example, we uncovered an opposing role of its binding protein CEPT1 in suppressing ferroptosis.

Project description:The cellular and molecular mechanisms by which cisplatin induces nephrotoxicity have been investigated extensively. However, the role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity has not been received much attention. Here, we explore the functions and underlying mechanisms of a novel lncRNA XLOC_032768 in cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity. Cisplatin treatment resulted in the apoptosis of renal epithelial cells in a mouse model and human renal proximal tubular epithelial cells (HK-2). By performing differentially expressed genes (DEGs) of the transcriptome data, we found the expression of lncRNA XLOC_032768 was significantly repressed by cisplatin treatment, which was also validated by RT-qPCR experiment of in vivo and in vitro model. Overexpression of lncRNA XLOC_032768 significantly inhibited the cisplatin-induced apoptosis of HK-2 and the expression of biomarkers for cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity. Results from XLOC_032768 overexpression experiment revealed that XLOC_032768 target the tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α in trans in HK-2 cells and mouse exposed to cisplatin. The administration of lncRNA XLOC_032768 attenuated renal dysfunction, morphological damage, and renal tubular cell injury, which was accompanied by TNF-α preservation, in a mouse model of cisplatin nephrotoxicity. These data indicate that XLOC_032768 suppressed cisplatin-induced apoptosis of tubular epithelial cells and acute kidney injury via a TNF mechanism. LncRNA XLOC_032768 would be a novel agent to reduce cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity.
