Abstract
Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is a major challenge in perioperative medicine that contributes to pathological damage in various conditions, including ischemic stroke, myocardial infarction, acute lung injury, liver transplantation, acute kidney injury and hemorrhagic shock. I/R damage is often irreversible, and current treatments for I/R injury are limited. Ferroptosis, a type of regulated cell death characterized by the iron-dependent accumulation of lipid hydroperoxides, has been implicated in multiple diseases, including I/R injury. Emerging evidence suggests that ferroptosis can serve as a therapeutic target to alleviate I/R injury, and pharmacological strategies targeting ferroptosis have been developed in I/R models. Here, we systematically summarize recent advances in research on ferroptosis in I/R injury and provide a comprehensive analysis of ferroptosis-regulated genes investigated in the context of I/R, as well as the therapeutic applications of ferroptosis regulators, to provide insights into developing therapeutic strategies for this devastating disease.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Introduction: Alda-1, an aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) activator, has been shown to protect the lung against a variety of diseases including regional ischemia-reperfusion injury, severe hemorrhagic shock, hyperoxia, and so on. The present study was designed to investigate the effectiveness of Alda-1 treatment in alleviating lung injury after cardiac arrest (CA) and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in swine. Methods: A total of 24 swine were randomized into three groups: sham (n = 6), CA/CPR (n = 10), and CA/CPR + Alda-1 (n = 8). The swine model was established by 8 min of electrically induced and untreated CA, and then 8 min of manual CPR. A dose of 0.88 mg/kg of Alda-1 was intravenously injected at 5 min after CA/CPR. After CA/CPR, extravascular lung water index (ELWI), pulmonary vascular permeability index (PVPI), and oxygenation index (OI) were regularly evaluated for 4 h. At 24 h after resuscitation, lung ALDH2 activity was detected, and its injury score, apoptosis, and ferroptosis were measured. Results: After experiencing the same procedure of CA and CPR, five swine in the CA/CPR group and six swine in the CA/CPR + Alda-1 group restored spontaneous circulation. Subsequently, significantly increased ELWI and PVPI, and markedly decreased OI were observed in these two groups compared with the sham group. However, all of them were gradually improved and significantly better in the swine treated with the Alda-1 compared with the CA/CPR group. Tissue analysis indicated that lung ALDH2 activity was significantly decreased in those swine experiencing the CA/CPR procedure compared with the sham group; nevertheless, its activity was significantly greater in the CA/CPR + Alda-1 group than in the CA/CPR group. In addition, lung injury score, and its apoptosis and ferroptosis were significantly increased in the CA/CPR and CA/CPR + Alda-1 groups compared with the sham group. Likewise, Alda-1 treatment significantly decreased these pathological damages in lung tissue when compared with the CA/CPR group. Conclusions: Alda-1 treatment was effective to alleviate lung injury after CA/CPR in a swine model, in which the protective role was possibly related to the inhibition of cell apoptosis and ferroptosis. It might provide a novel therapeutic target and a feasible therapeutic drug for lung protection after CA/CPR.

Abstract
Ferroptosis, first coined in 2012, is an iron-dependent regulated cell death (RCD) characterized by the accumulation of lipid peroxides to toxic levels. This mechanism is currently being evaluated as a target for a variety of diseases offering new opportunities for drug design and development. Recent reports uncovered acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain 4 (ACSL4) as a critical contributor to ferroptosis execution. Therefore, ACSL4 inhibitors are emerging as attractive anti-ferroptotic agents. Herein, we developed a robust screening cascade with orthogonal biophysical and biochemical techniques to identify original human ACSL4 inhibitors. By screening an FDA-approved drug library, we were able to identify and validate new inhibitors with micromolar-range activities against ACSL4. With an IC50 of 280 nM against hACSL4, antifungal agent sertaconazole is to our knowledge, the most potent ACSL4 inhibitor identified so far. In addition, sertaconazole significantly reduced lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis in human differentiated dopaminergic neurons (Lund human mesencephalic LUHMES cells), demonstrating that it is a valuable chemical tool for further investigating the role of ACSL4 in ferroptosis. This study highlights the phenethyl-imidazole scaffold as a novel and promising starting point for the development of anti-ferroptotic agents targeting ACSL4.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent mode of cell death characterized by intracellular lipid peroxide accumulation and a redox reaction imbalance. Compared with other modes of cell death, ferroptosis has specific biological and morphological features. The iron-dependent lipid peroxidation accumulation is manifested explicitly in the abnormal metabolism of intracellular lipid oxides catalyzed by excessive iron ions with the production of many reactive oxygen species and over-oxidization of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Recent studies have shown that various diseases, which include intestinal diseases and cancer, are associated with ferroptosis, but few studies are related to airway inflammatory diseases. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the primary damage mechanisms of ferroptosis and summarizes the relationship between ferroptosis and airway inflammatory diseases. In addition to common acute and chronic airway inflammatory diseases, we also focus on the progress of research on COVID-19 in relation to ferroptosis. New therapeutic approaches and current issues to be addressed in the treatment of inflammatory airway diseases using ferroptosis are further proposed.

miR-494-3p Promotes Erastin-Induced Ferroptosis by Targeting REST to Activate the Interplay between SP1 and ACSL4 in Parkinson’s Disease. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2022; 2022:7671324. [PMID: 35936219 PMCID: PMC9355771 DOI: 10.1155/2022/7671324] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2022] [Revised: 06/28/2022] [Accepted: 07/18/2022] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
Background Ferroptosis is a type of iron-dependent programmed cell death. Ferroptosis has been shown to be a significant factor for the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). However, the mechanism involved in ferroptosis has not been fully elucidated in PD. Methods Repressor element-1 silencing transcription factor (REST) and specificity protein 1 (SP1) expressions were monitored by qRT-PCR. Cell viability, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and mitochondrial injury were validated by CCK-8, flow cytometry, and transmission electron microscope. The levels of neurons-related proteins and ferroptosis-associated proteins were identified by western blot and immunofluorescence assays. The interaction between miR-494-3p and REST or SP1 and ACSL4 was analyzed by luciferase, chromatin immunoprecipitation, or EMSA assay. Results Erastin could dose-dependently induce neuron injury and ferroptosis of LUHMES cells. miR-494-3p overexpression induced ROS production, mitochondrial damage, ferroptosis, and neuron injury in erastin-induced LUHMES cells. Likewise, miR-494-3p inhibition had the opposite effects. We also showed that REST was a target gene of miR-494-3p and could repress erastin-induced ferroptosis, neuron injury, ROS, and mitochondrial injury via SP1 in LUHMES cells. Moreover, we demonstrated that SP1 could interact with ACSL4. We also confirmed that miR-494-3p could aggravate the pathological changes of substantia nigra and corpus striatum in the MPTP-induced PD mouse model. Conclusion miR-494-3p significantly promotes ferroptosis by regulating the REST/SP1/ACSL4 axis in PD. Thus, our results open potential therapeutic targets for PD.

Abstract
Background Pulmonary ischemia reperfusion- (I/R-) induced dysfunction is a significant clinical problem after lung transplantation. In this study, we aim to explore the molecular mechanism of lung I/R injury (LIRI). Methods Bioinformatic analysis of gene involved in oxidative stress. A HUVEC oxygen glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) model and I/R mouse model were first established via I/R. The cellular proliferation, migration, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and parameters of lung injury were assessed via CCK-8, EdU staining, Transwell, cellular ROS kit, and H&E staining. We also confirmed related gene expressions and protein levels and the interaction between the tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) promotor and ZNF354C. Results Bioinformatic analysis results showed TFPI contributed to oxidative stress. OGD/R caused a reduction in cell viability and migration, hypermethylation of TFPI, increased ROS, and downregulation of ZNF354C, TFPI, and DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) in HUVECs. Besides, ZNF354C could directly bind to the TFPI promoter, enhance proliferation and migration, and inhibit ROS in OGD/R-induced HUVECs by upregulating TFPI. More importantly, we discovered that 5-Aza could reduce TFPI methylation, upregulate TFPI, and enhance the binding of ZNF354C to the TFPI promoter in LIRI. Furthermore, DNMT1 silencing could induce proliferation and migration and prevent ROS in OGD/R-induced HUVECs by upregulating ZNF354C. Additionally, we verified that ZNF354C could alleviate LIRI by preventing DNA methylation in vivo. Conclusions ZNF354C overexpression induced proliferation and migration, as well as suppressed ROS in OGD/R-induced HUVECs, and alleviated LIRI in mice by inhibiting TFPI promoter methylation to upregulate TFPI. Therefore, ZNF354C and TFPI methylation might be promising molecular markers for LIRI therapy.

Abstract
X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) results from ABCD1 gene mutations which impair Very Long Chain Fatty Acids (VLCFA; C26:0 and C24:0) peroxisomal import and β-oxidation, leading to accumulation in plasma and tissues. Excess VLCFA drives impaired cellular functions (e.g. disrupted mitochondrial function), inflammation, and neurodegeneration. Major disease phenotypes include: adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN), progressive spinal cord axonal degeneration, and cerebral ALD (C-ALD), inflammatory white matter demyelination and degeneration. No pharmacological treatment is available to-date for ALD. Pioglitazone, an anti-diabetic thiazolidinedione, exerts potential benefits in ALD models. Its mechanisms are genomic (PPARγ agonism) and nongenomic (mitochondrial pyruvate carrier-MPC, long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase 4-ACSL4, inhibition). However, its use is limited by PPARγ-driven side effects (e.g. weight gain, edema). PXL065 is a clinical-stage deuterium-stabilized (R)-enantiomer of pioglitazone which lacks PPARγ agonism but retains MPC activity. Here, we show that incubation of ALD patient-derived cells (both AMN and C-ALD) and glial cells from Abcd1-null mice with PXL065 resulted in: normalization of elevated VLCFA, improved mitochondrial function, and attenuated indices of inflammation. Compensatory peroxisomal transporter gene expression was also induced. Additionally, chronic treatment of Abcd1-null mice lowered VLCFA in plasma, brain and spinal cord and improved both neural histology (sciatic nerve) and neurobehavioral test performance. Several in vivo effects of PXL065 exceeded those achieved with pioglitazone. PXL065 was confirmed to lack PPARγ agonism but retained ACSL4 activity of pioglitazone. PXL065 has novel actions and mechanisms and exhibits a range of potential benefits in ALD models; further testing of this molecule in ALD patients is warranted.

Abstract
The nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is a master regulator of redox balance and it responds to various cell stresses that oxidative stress is the most well-known one. The Nrf2 should undergo nuclear translocation to exert its protective impacts and decrease ROS production. On the other hand, ischemic/reperfusion (I/R) injury is a pathological event resulting from low blood flow to an organ and followed by reperfusion. The I/R induces cell injury and organ dysfunction. The present review focuses on Nrf2 function in alleviation of I/R injury. Stimulating of Nrf2 signaling ameliorates I/R injury in various organs including lung, liver, brain, testis and heart. The Nrf2 enhances activity of antioxidant enzymes to reduce ROS production and prevent oxidative stress-mediated cell death. Besides, Nrf2 reduces inflammation via decreasing levels of pro-inflammatory factors including IL-6, IL-1β and TNF-α. Nrf2 signaling is beneficial in preventing apoptosis and increasing cell viability. Nrf2 induces autophagy to prevent apoptosis during I/R injury. Furthermore, it can interact with other molecular pathways including PI3K/Akt, NF-κB, miRNAs, lncRNAs and GSK-3β among others, to ameliorate I/R injury. The therapeutic agents, most of them are phytochemicals such as resveratrol, berberine and curcumin, induce Nrf2 signaling in I/R injury alleviation.

Abstract
Ferroptosis, which has been widely associated with many diseases, is an iron-dependent regulated cell death characterized by intracellular lipid peroxide accumulation. It exhibits morphological, biochemical, and genetic characteristics that are unique in comparison to other types of cell death. The course of ferroptosis can be accurately regulated by the metabolism of iron, lipids, amino acids, and various signal pathways. In this review, we summarize the basic characteristics of ferroptosis, its regulation, as well as the relationship between ferroptosis and chronic diseases such as cancer, nervous system diseases, metabolic diseases, and inflammatory bowel diseases. Finally, we describe the regulatory effects of food-borne active ingredients on ferroptosis.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a distinct type of programmed cell death (PCD) that depends on iron and is characterized by the accumulation of intracellular iron, exhaustion of glutathione, deactivation of glutathione peroxidase, and promotion of lipid peroxidation. Recently, accumulated investigations have demonstrated that ferroptosis is strongly correlated with the initiation and development of many lung diseases. In this review, we summarized the contribution of ferroptosis to the pathologic process of lung diseases, namely, obstructive lung diseases (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, and cystic fibrosis), interstitial lung diseases (pulmonary fibrosis of different causes), pulmonary diseases of vascular origin (ischemia-reperfusion injury and pulmonary hypertension), pulmonary infections (bacteria, viruses, and fungi), acute lung injury, acute respiratory distress syndrome, obstructive sleep apnea, pulmonary alveolar proteinosis, and lung cancer. We also discussed the therapeutic potential of targeting ferroptosis for these lung diseases.

Dexmedetomidine Attenuates Ferroptosis-Mediated Renal Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury and Inflammation by Inhibiting ACSL4 via α2-AR. Front Pharmacol 2022; 13:782466. [PMID: 35873574 PMCID: PMC9307125 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2022.782466] [Citation(s) in RCA: 37] [Impact Index Per Article: 18.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/24/2021] [Accepted: 05/23/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is a serious clinical pathology associated with acute kidney injury (AKI). Ferroptosis is non-apoptotic cell death that is known to contribute to renal I/R injury. Dexmedetomidine (Dex) has been shown to exert anti-inflammatory and organ protective effects. This study aimed to investigate the detailed molecular mechanism of Dex protects kidneys against I/R injury through inhibiting ferroptosis. We established the I/R-induced renal injury model in mice, and OGD/R induced HEK293T cells damage in vitro. RNA-seq analysis was performed for identifying the potential therapeutic targets. RNA-seq analysis for differentially expressed genes (DEGs) reported Acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4 (ACSL4) related to ferroptosis and inflammation in I/R mice renal, which was validated in rodent renal. Liproxstatin-1, the specific small-molecule inhibitor of ferroptosis, significantly attenuated ferroptosis-mediated renal I/R injury with decreased LPO, MDA, and LDH levels, and increased GSH level. Inhibiting the activity of ACSL4 by the Rosiglitazone (ROSI) resulted in the decreased ferroptosis and inflammation, as well as reduced renal tissue damage, with decreasing LPO, MDA and LDH level, increasing GSH level, reducing COX2 and increasing GPx4 protein expression, and suppressing the TNF-α mRNA and IL-6 mRNA levels. Dex as a α2-adrenergic receptor (α2-AR) agonist performed renal protective effects against I/R-induced injury. Our results also revealed that Dex administration mitigated tissue damage, inhibited ferroptosis, and downregulated inflammation response following renal I/R injury, which were associated with the suppression of ACSL4. In addition, ACSL4 overexpression abolishes Dex-mediated protective effects on OGD/R induced ferroptosis and inflammation in HEK293T cells, and promotion of ACSL4 expression by α2-AR inhibitor significantly reversed the effects on the protective role of Dex. This present study indicated that the Dex attenuates ferroptosis-mediated renal I/R injury and inflammation by inhibiting ACSL4 via α2-AR.

Abstract
Ferroptosis, an iron-dependent non-apoptotic cell death characterized by lipid peroxidation, is a cell death pathway discovered in recent years. Ferroptosis plays an important role in tumors, ischemia-reperfusion injury, neurological diseases, blood diseases, etc. Recent studies have shown the importance of ferroptosis in chronic liver disease. This article summarizes the pathological mechanisms of ferroptosis involved in System Xc−, iron metabolism, lipid metabolism, and some GPX4-independent pathways, and the latest research on ferroptosis in chronic liver diseases such as alcoholic liver disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, liver fibrosis, hepatocellular carcinoma. In addition, the current bottleneck issues that restrict the research on ferroptosis are proposed to provide ideas and strategies for exploring new therapeutic targets for chronic liver diseases.

Abstract
Renal fibrosis is a common feature of chronic kidney disease (CKD), and can lead to the destruction of normal renal structure and loss of kidney function. Little progress has been made in reversing fibrosis in recent years. Ferroptosis is more immunogenic than apoptosis due to the release and activation of damage-related molecular patterns (DAMPs) signals. In this paper, the relationship between renal fibrosis and ferroptosis was reviewed from the perspective of iron metabolism and lipid peroxidation, and some pharmaceuticals or chemicals associated with both ferroptosis and renal fibrosis were summarized. Other programmed cell death and ferroptosis in renal fibrosis were also firstly reviewed for comparison and further investigation.

[PMID: 35645792 PMCID: PMC9132383 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2022.860944] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2022] [Accepted: 03/30/2022] [Indexed: 01/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Pulmonary ischemia/reperfusion (IR) injury is the leading cause of acute lung injury, which is mainly attributed to reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced cell injuries and apoptosis. Since rosmarinic acid (RA) has been identified as an antioxidant natural ester, this natural compound might protect against pulmonary IR injury. In this study, the mice were given RA daily (50, 75, or 100 mg/kg) by gavage for 7 days before the pulmonary IR injury. We found that hypoxemia, pulmonary edema, and serum inflammation cytokines were aggravated in pulmonary IR injury. RA pretreatment (75 and 100 mg/kg) effectively reversed these parameters, while 50 mg/kg RA pretreatment was less pronounced. Our data also indicated RA pretreatment mitigated the upregulation of pro-oxidant NADPH oxidases (NOX2 and NOX4) and the downregulation of anti-oxidant superoxide dismutases (SOD1 and SOD2) upon IR injury. In vitro studies showed RA preserved the viability of anoxia/reoxygenation (AR)-treated A549 cells (a human lung epithelial cell line), and the results showed the protective effect of RA started at 5 μM concentration, reached its maximum at 15 μM, and gradually decreased at 20–25 μM. Besides, RA pretreatment (15 μM) greatly reduced the lactate dehydrogenase release levels subjected to AR treatment. Moreover, the results of our research revealed that RA eliminated ROS production and reduced alveolar epithelial cell apoptosis through activating the phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt) signaling pathway, which was supported by using wortmannin, because in the presence of wortmannin, the RA-mediated protection was blocked. Meanwhile, wortmannin also reversed the protective effects of RA in mice. Together, our results demonstrate the beneficial role of RA in pulmonary IR injury via PI3K/Akt-mediated anti-oxidation and anti-apoptosis, which could be a promising therapeutic intervention for pulmonary IR injury.

Abstract
Among the multiple kinds of neuronal cell death triggered by traumatic brain injury (TBI), ferroptosis, an iron-dependent lipid peroxidative regulatory cell death, has a critical role. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPARγ) is a nuclear transcription factor that regulates lipid metabolism and suppresses neuronal inflammation. However, the role of PPARγ in neuronal ferroptosis induced by TBI remains unclear. Here, we investigated the regulatory effect of PPARγ on neuronal ferroptosis in a weight-drop TBI model in vivo and an RAS-selective lethal 3 (RSL3)-activated ferroptotic neuronal model in vitro. PPARγ was mainly localized in the nucleus of neurons and was decreased in both the in vivo TBI model and the in vitro ferroptotic neuronal model. The addition of a specific agonist, pioglitazone, activated PPARγ, which protected neuronal function post-TBI in vivo and increased the viability of ferroptotic neurons in vitro. Further investigation suggested that PPARγ probably attenuates neuronal ferroptosis by downregulating cyclooxygenase-2 (COX2) protein expression levels in vivo and in vitro. This study revealed the relationship among PPARγ, ferroptosis and TBI and identified a potential target for comprehensive TBI treatment.

Abstract
Selenium is an essential trace element for humans and other vertebrates, playing an important role in antioxidant defense, neurobiology and reproduction. However, the toxicity of excessive selenium has not been thoroughly evaluated, especially for the visual system of vertebrates. In this study, fertilized zebrafish embryos were treated with 0.5 µM L-selenomethionine to investigate how excessive selenium alters zebrafish eye development. Selenium-stressed zebrafish embryos showed microphthalmia and altered expression of genes required for retinal neurogenesis. Moreover, ectopic proliferation, disrupted mitochondrial morphology, elevated ROS-induced oxidative stress, apoptosis and ferroptosis were observed in selenium-stressed embryos. Two antioxidants—reduced glutathione (GSH) and N-acetylcysteine (NAC)—and the ferroptosis inhibitor ferrostatin (Fer-1) were unable to rescue selenium-induced eye defects, but the ferroptosis and apoptosis activator cisplatin (CDDP) was able to improve microphthalmia and the expression of retina-specific genes in selenium-stressed embryos. In summary, our results reveal that ferroptosis and apoptosis might play a key role in selenium-induced defects of embryonic eye development. The findings not only provide new insights into selenium-induced cellular damage and death, but also important implications for studying the association between excessive selenium and ocular diseases in the future.

Abstract
Lung ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury poses a serious threat to human health, worldwide. The current study aimed to determine the role of lidocaine in A549 cells, in addition to the involvement of the p38 MAPK pathway. Oxygen deprivation/reoxygenation-induced A549 cells were utilized to simulate I/R injury in vitro. Cell viability and apoptosis were detected using MTT and TUNEL assays, respectively. The levels of IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α, malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase, iron and reactive oxygen species (ROS) were measured using corresponding commercial kits. The corresponding protein expression levels were also measured using western blotting. Moreover, a monolayer cell paracellular permeability assay was performed to determine the permeability of A549 cells. The results demonstrated that, whilst lidocaine had no influence on untreated A549 cells, it significantly increased the viability of hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R)-induced A549 cells. A549 cell apoptosis and the release of inflammatory cytokines in the H/R group were decreased after the addition of lidocaine. When compared with the H/R group, increased MDA level and decreased SOD level were observed in H/R-induced A549 cells following lidocaine treatment. In addition, the permeability of H/R-induced A549 cells was markedly decreased following lidocaine treatment. Compared with the H/R group, the expression levels of tight junction and ferroptosis-related proteins were significantly upregulated by lidocaine, whereas the expression of transferrin was downregulated. However, p79350, an agonist of p38, reversed the effects of lidocaine on H/R-induced A549 cells. In conclusion, lidocaine exerted a protective role in HR-induced lung epithelial cell injury, which may serve as a potential agent for the treatment of patients with lung I/R injury.

Abstract
Ischemic stroke represents a significant danger to human beings, especially the elderly. Interventions are only available to remove the clot, and the mechanism of neuronal death during ischemic stroke is still in debate. Ferroptosis is increasingly appreciated as a mechanism of cell death after ischemia in various organs. Here we report that the serine protease, thrombin, instigates ferroptotic signaling by promoting arachidonic acid mobilization and subsequent esterification by the ferroptotic gene, acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4 (ACSL4). An unbiased multi-omics approach identified thrombin and ACSL4 genes/proteins, and their pro-ferroptotic phosphatidylethanolamine lipid products, as prominently altered upon the middle cerebral artery occlusion in rodents. Genetically or pharmacologically inhibiting multiple points in this pathway attenuated outcomes of models of ischemia in vitro and in vivo. Therefore, the thrombin-ACSL4 axis may be a key therapeutic target to ameliorate ferroptotic neuronal injury during ischemic stroke.

A Focused Review on Primary Graft Dysfunction after Clinical Lung Transplantation: A Multilevel Syndrome. Cells 2022; 11:cells11040745. [PMID: 35203392 PMCID: PMC8870290 DOI: 10.3390/cells11040745] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2021] [Revised: 02/14/2022] [Accepted: 02/17/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Primary graft dysfunction (PGD) is the clinical syndrome of acute lung injury after lung transplantation (LTx). However, PGD is an umbrella term that encompasses the ongoing pathophysiological and -biological mechanisms occurring in the lung grafts. Therefore, we aim to provide a focused review on the clinical, physiological, radiological, histological and cellular level of PGD. PGD is graded based on hypoxemia and chest X-ray (CXR) infiltrates. High-grade PGD is associated with inferior outcome after LTx. Lung edema is the main characteristic of PGD and alters pulmonary compliance, gas exchange and circulation. A conventional CXR provides a rough estimate of lung edema, while a chest computed tomography (CT) results in a more in-depth analysis. Macroscopically, interstitial and alveolar edema can be distinguished below the visceral lung surface. On the histological level, PGD correlates to a pattern of diffuse alveolar damage (DAD). At the cellular level, ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is the main trigger for the disruption of the endothelial-epithelial alveolar barrier and inflammatory cascade. The multilevel approach integrating all PGD-related aspects results in a better understanding of acute lung failure after LTx, providing novel insights for future therapies.

Abstract
We studied the lung-protective effect and mechanisms of the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects of ultra-short-wave diathermy (USWD) in a rat model of LPS-induced acute lung injury. Histological examination of the lung tissues was performed and the levels of oxidative stress-related factors and inflammatory cytokines were measured. It was shown that the lung injury score, the lung wet-to-dry weight ratio (W/D), oxidative stress-related factors malondialdehyde and acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4 (ACSL4), and inflammatory cytokines were increased after LPS administration, while USWD treatment reduced these parameters. In addition, superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase 4 were decreased in rats with LPS-induced acute lung injury, while USWD therapy up-regulated the expression of these enzymes. Thus, USWD could antagonize lung injury by inhibiting oxidative stress and inflammatory response in rats with acute lung injury. USWD can be a promising adjunctive treatment to counter oxidative stress and inflammation and a potential therapeutic candidate for the treatment of patients with this pathology.

Abstract
Acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS) is a common disease with high morbidity and mortality, and its pathogenesis is believed to be related to oxidative stress, apoptosis, inflammation, and hypoxia. Ferroptosis is a type of nonapoptotic cell death characterized by iron-dependent lipid peroxide accumulation and is involved in many cellular physiological processes. Recent studies have confirmed that ferroptosis may be involved in the development of ALI. This review summarizes the most recent discoveries on the role of ferroptosis in ALI to provide new strategies for its prevention and treatment.

Abstract
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is an uncontrollable, progressive pulmonary inflammatory disease, and as a common clinical critical disease, there is no effective treatment available. Electroacupuncture (EA) therapy is a type of traditional Chinese medicine physiotherapy that can alleviate the inflammatory response. However, the potential mechanism of EA in the treatment of ARDS is not yet clear. Ferroptosis is a new type of programmed cell death characterized by intracellular iron accumulation and lipid peroxidation. Recently, emerging evidence has shown that ferroptosis is closely related to the occurrence and development of ARDS caused by various pathological factors. Here, we further investigated whether EA-mediated inhibition of ferroptosis in lung tissue could attenuate lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ARDS and explored its underlying mechanisms. In this study, mice were administered LPS intraperitoneally to establish a model of LPS-induced ARDS. We found that EA stimulation could not only reduce the exudation of inflammatory cells and proteins in the alveolar lumen but also significantly alleviate the pathological changes of lung tissue, inhibit the production of proinflammatory cytokines and improve the survival rate of mice. Concurrently, we also found that ferroptosis events occurred in the lung tissue of LPS-induced ARDS mice, manifested by elevated iron levels, ROS production and lipid peroxidation. Intriguingly, our results showed that EA stimulation at the Zusanli (ST36) acupoint activated α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7nAchR) in lung tissue mainly through the sciatic nerve and cervical vagus nerve, thus exerting anti-ferroptosis and pulmonary protective effects. Additionally, these effects were eliminated by methyllycaconitine (MLA), a selective antagonist of α7nAchR. In vitro experiments, activation of α7nAchR protected alveolar epithelial cells from LPS-induced ferroptosis. Furthermore, our experiments showed that the pulmonary protective effects of EA stimulation were effectively reversed by erastin, a ferroptosis activator. Collectively, we demonstrated that EA stimulation could alleviate LPS-induced ARDS by activating α7nAchR to inhibit LPS-induced ferroptosis in alveolar epithelial cells. Targeting and regulating ferroptosis in alveolar epithelial cells may be a potential intervention approach for the treatment of LPS-induced ALI/ARDS in the future.

Abstract
Ferroptosis, a newly discovered form of regulatory cell death (RCD), has been demonstrated to be distinct from other types of RCD, such as apoptosis, necroptosis, and autophagy. Ferroptosis is characterized by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation and oxidative perturbation, and is inhibited by iron chelators and lipophilic antioxidants. This process is regulated by specific pathways and is implicated in diverse biological contexts, mainly including iron homeostasis, lipid metabolism, and glutathione metabolism. A large body of evidence suggests that ferroptosis is interrelated with various physiological and pathological processes, including tumor progression (neuro)degenerative diseases, and hepatic and renal failure. There is an urgent need for the discovery of novel effective ferroptosis-modulating compounds, even though some experimental reagents and approved clinical drugs have been well documented to have anti- or pro-ferroptotic properties. This review outlines recent advances in molecular mechanisms of the ferroptotic death process and discusses its multiple roles in diverse pathophysiological contexts. Furthermore, we summarize chemical compounds and natural products, that act as inducers or inhibitors of ferroptosis in the prevention and treatment of various diseases. Herein, it is particularly highlighted that natural products show promising prospects in ferroptosis-associated (adjuvant) therapy with unique advantages of having multiple components, multiple biotargets and slight side effects.

Identification of a ferroptosis-related gene pair biomarker with immune infiltration landscapes in ischemic stroke: a bioinformatics-based comprehensive study. BMC Genomics 2022; 23:59. [PMID: 35033021 PMCID: PMC8761271 DOI: 10.1186/s12864-022-08295-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2021] [Accepted: 12/29/2021] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Ischemic stroke (IS) is a principal contributor to long-term disability in adults. A new cell death mediated by iron is ferroptosis, characterized by lethal aggregation of lipid peroxidation. However, a paucity of ferroptosis-related biomarkers early identify IS until now. This study investigated potential ferroptosis-related gene pair biomarkers in IS and explored their roles in immune infiltration. Results In total, we identified 6 differentially expressed ferroptosis-related genes (DEFRGs) in the metadata cohort. Of these genes, 4 DEFRGs were incorporated into the competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network, including 78 lncRNA-miRNA and 16 miRNA-mRNA interactions. Based on relative expression values of DEFRGs, we constructed gene pairs. An integrated scheme consisting of machine learning algorithms, ceRNA network, and gene pair was proposed to screen the key DEFRG biomarkers. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve witnessed that the diagnostic performance of DEFRG pair CDKN1A/JUN was superior to that of single gene. Moreover, the CIBERSORT algorithm exhibited immune infiltration landscapes: plasma cells, resting NK cells, and resting mast cells infiltrated less in IS samples than controls. Spearman correlation analysis confirmed a significant correlation between plasma cells and CDKN1A/JUN (CDKN1A: r = − 0.503, P < 0.001, JUN: r = − 0.330, P = 0.025). Conclusions Our findings suggested that CDKN1A/JUN could be a robust and promising gene-pair diagnostic biomarker for IS, regulating ferroptosis during IS progression via C9orf106/C9orf139-miR-22-3p-CDKN1A and GAS5-miR-139-5p/miR-429-JUN axes. Meanwhile, plasma cells might exert a vital interplay in IS immune microenvironment, providing an innovative insight for IS therapeutic target.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a new form of programmed cell death due to iron-dependent excess accumulation of lipid peroxides and differs from other programmed cell deaths in morphological and biochemical characteristics. The process of ferroptosis is precisely regulated by iron metabolism, lipid metabolism, amino acid metabolism, and numerous signaling pathways, and plays a complex role in many pathophysiological processes. Recent studies have found that ferroptosis is closely associated with the development and progression of many lung diseases, including acute lung injury, pulmonary ischemia-reperfusion injury, lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and pulmonary fibrosis. Here, we present a review of the main regulatory mechanisms of ferroptosis and its research progress in the pathogenesis and treatment of lung diseases, with the aim of providing new ideas for basic and clinical research of lung-related diseases.

The molecular mechanisms of ferroptosis and its role in cardiovascular disease. Biomed Pharmacother 2021; 145:112423.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a programmed iron-dependent cell death characterized by accumulation of lipid peroxides (LOOH) and redox disequilibrium. Ferroptosis shows unique characteristics in biology, chemistry, and gene levels, compared to other cell death forms. The metabolic disorder of intracellular LOOH catalyzed by iron causes the inactivity of GPX4, disrupts the redox balance, and triggers cell death. Metabolism of amino acid, iron, and lipid, including associated pathways, is considered as a specific hallmark of ferroptosis. Epidemiological studies and animal experiments have shown that ferroptosis plays an important character in the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disease such as atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction (MI), ischemia/reperfusion (I/R), heart failure (HF), cardiac hypertrophy, cardiomyopathy, and abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). This review systematically summarized the latest research progress on the mechanisms of ferroptosis. Then we report the contribution of ferroptosis in cardiovascular diseases. Finally, we discuss and analyze the therapeutic approaches targeting for ferroptosis associated with cardiovascular diseases.

Exp Ther Med 2021; 22:1483. [PMID: 34765024 PMCID: PMC8576623 DOI: 10.3892/etm.2021.10918] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/18/2021] [Accepted: 09/09/2021] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Previous studies have indicated that allergens such as house dust mites (HDM) in the environment can induce allergic asthma. Ferroptosis is a newly discovered form of regulatory cell death characterized by aberrant lipid peroxidation and the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cells. However, whether ferroptosis participates in the pathological process of asthma remains to be elucidated. The present study used a HDM-induced mouse asthma model to determine the effect of HDM exposure on allergic asthma and its underlying mechanisms. Female BALB/c mice were intranasally exposed to HDM to induce allergic asthma. Airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR), lung inflammation, mucus secretion, IgE levels, cytokine levels and inflammatory cell counts in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were investigated. In addition, the morphological changes of mitochondria, ROS levels, glutathione (GSH) levels and changes in ferroptosis pathway proteins were also determined in murine lungs. As a result, HDM exposure significantly increased AHR, inflammatory cell infiltration and mucus secretion around the airways. Furthermore, elevated IgE levels in the BALF, lung eosinophilia and a concomitant increase in IL-13 and IL-5 levels in BALF were observed. HDM inhalation increased ROS and decreased GSH levels in the lungs. HDM inhalation induced dysmorphic small mitochondria with decreased crista, as well as condensed, ruptured outer membranes. Western blotting demonstrated that the activities of glutathione peroxidase 4 and catalytic subunit solute carrier family 7 member 11 were significantly decreased, and that protein expression levels of acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4 and 15 lipoxygenase 1 were upregulated compared with mice in the normal control group. Overall, these results indicated that the AHR, airway inflammation, lipid peroxidation and ROS levels increased in HDM-induced asthma, and that HDM inhalation induced ferroptosis in the lungs, which helped to form an improved understanding of the pathogenesis of allergic asthma.

ANNALS OF TRANSLATIONAL MEDICINE 2021; 9:1454.

Abstract
Background Acyl-CoA synthetase long chain family member 4 (ACSL4) has been reported to serve as a major player in the progress of ferroptosis in various diseases. Nevertheless, the functional role and mechanism of ACSL4 in sevoflurane (sev)-induced neuronal death has never been elucidated. Methods Cell viability was assessed using Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8). Iron levels, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and malondialdehyde (MDA), 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE), and glutathione (GSH) content were determined to assess ferroptosis level. Quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and western blot were undertaken for the measurement of gene expression. Results Sev hindered the viability of SH-SY5Y cells and suppression of ferroptosis by ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1) mitigated sev-induced inhibition of SH-SY5Y cell viability. Sev treatment increases the Fe2+ level and decreases the mRNA levels of SLC7A11 and GPX4 in SH-SY5Y cells. Sev increased the expression of ACSL4. Moreover, silencing of ACSL4 could abrogate sev-induced cell damage, as evidenced by increases in cell viability, GPX4 protein levels, and decreases in iron levels, ROS production, and MDA and 4-HNE content. Remarkably, sev hindered the activation of the 5' AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling, which was diminished by knockdown of ACSL4. Moreover, inhibition of the AMPK/mTOR signaling by compound C could mitigate the protective effect of ACSL4 silencing against sev-induced ferroptotic cell death. Conclusions Downregulation of ACSL4 restrained sev-induced ferroptotic cell death via AMPK/mTOR signaling, providing the basis for an approach to alleviate sev-induced postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD).

Abstract
Purpose To evaluate whether ferroptosis is involved in hyperoxic acute lung injury (HALI) and its mechanisms through the HALI model. Methods HE staining was used to assess lung injury pathology after the establishment of neonatal rat HALI model. ELISA was used to detect ROS, GPX4, and GSH expression. Prussian blue staining and Western Blot were used to detect iron deposition and the expression of ferroptosis-related proteins, respectively. Results The HALI group showed pathological changes with larger and fewer alveoli and thicker alveolar septa after HE staining. Prussian blue staining detected significant iron deposition in the lung tissue of the HALI group. GPX4, GSH, GSS, and SLC7A11 expressions were significantly decreased in the HALI group than in the normal control group. In contrast, ROS, TFRC, FHC, and FLC expressions showed opposite results (p<0.05). Conclusion Ferroptosis may be involved in the pathological process of hyperoxic lung injury in neonatal rats.

Abstract
Iron overload in the brain, defined as excess stores of iron, is known to be associated with neurological disorders. In neurodegeneration accompanied by brain iron accumulation, we reported a specific point mutation, c.974-1G>A in WD Repeat Domain 45 (WDR45), showing iron accumulation in the brain, and autophagy defects in the fibroblasts. In this study, we investigated whether fibroblasts with mutated WDR45 accumulated iron, and other effects on cellular organelles. We first identified the main location of iron accumulation in the mutant fibroblasts and then investigated the effects of this accumulation on cellular organelles, including lipid droplets, mitochondria and lysosomes. Ultrastructure analysis using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and confocal microscopy showed structural changes in the organelles. Increased numbers of lipid droplets, fragmented mitochondria and increased numbers of lysosomal vesicles with functional disorder due to WDR45 deficiency were observed. Based on correlative light and electron microscopy (CLEM) findings, most of the iron accumulation was noted in the lysosomal vesicles. These changes were associated with defects in autophagy and defective protein and organelle turnover. Gene expression profiling analysis also showed remarkable changes in lipid metabolism, mitochondrial function, and autophagy-related genes. These data suggested that functional and structural changes resulted in impaired lipid metabolism, mitochondrial disorder, and unbalanced autophagy fluxes, caused by iron overload.

Abstract
Even though COVID-19 is mostly well-known for affecting respiratory pathology, it can also result in several extrapulmonary manifestations, leading to multiorgan damage. A recent reported case of SARS-CoV-2 myocarditis with cardiogenic shock showed a signature of myocardial and kidney ferroptosis, a novel, iron-dependent programmed cell death. The term ferroptosis was coined in the last decade to describe the form of cell death induced by the small molecule erastin. As a specific inducer of ferroptosis, erastin inhibits cystine-glutamate antiporter system Xc-, blocking transportation into the cytoplasm of cystine, a precursor of glutathione (GSH) in exchange with glutamate and the consequent malfunction of GPX4. Ferroptosis is also promoted by intracellular iron overload and by the iron-dependent accumulation of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA)-derived lipid peroxides. Since depletion of GSH, inactivation of GPX4, altered iron metabolism, and upregulation of PUFA peroxidation by reactive oxygen species are peculiar signs of COVID-19, there is the possibility that SARS-CoV-2 may trigger ferroptosis in the cells of multiple organs, thus contributing to multiorgan damage. Here, we review the molecular mechanisms of ferroptosis and its possible relationship with SARS-CoV-2 infection and multiorgan damage. Finally, we analyze the potential interventions that may combat ferroptosis and, therefore, reduce multiorgan damage.

Abstract
Background: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic progressive disease with unknown etiology and unfavorable prognosis. Ferroptosis is a form of regulated cell death with an iron-dependent way that is involved in the development of various diseases. Whereas the prognostic value of ferroptosis-related genes (FRGs) in IPF remains uncertain and needs to be further elucidated. Methods: The FerrDb database and the previous studies were screened to explore the FRGs. The data of patients with IPF were obtained from the GSE70866 dataset. Wilcoxon's test and univariate Cox regression analysis were applied to identify the FRGs that are differentially expressed between normal and patients with IPF and associated with prognosis. Next, a multigene signature was constructed by the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO)-penalized Cox model in the training cohort and evaluated by using calibration and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Then, 30% of the dataset samples were randomly selected for internal validation. Finally, the potential function and pathways that might be affected by the risk score-related differently expressed genes (DEGs) were further explored. Results: A total of 183 FRGs were identified by the FerrDb database and the previous studies, and 19 of them were differentially expressed in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) between IPF and healthy controls and associated with prognosis (p < 0.05). There were five FRGs (aconitase 1 [ACO1], neuroblastoma RAS viral (v-ras) oncogene homolog [NRAS], Ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 2 [ENPP2], Mucin 1 [MUC1], and ZFP36 ring finger protein [ZFP36]) identified as risk signatures and stratified patients with IPF into the two risk groups. The overall survival rate in patients with high risk was significantly lower than that in patients with low risk (p < 0.001). The calibration and ROC curve analysis confirmed the predictive capacity of this signature, and the results were further verified in the validation group. Risk score-related DEGs were found enriched in ECM-receptor interaction and focal adhesion pathways. Conclusion: The five FRGs in BALF can be used for prognostic prediction in IPF, which may contribute to improving the management strategies of IPF.

Abstract
PM2.5 refers to ambient air particulate matter with aerodynamic diameters ≤ 2.5 µm, which has been a global environmental problem threatening public health in recent years. Melatonin serving as one of the predominant hormones secreted by the pineal gland displays multiple pharmacological properties in various diseases. However, little is known about the possible effects of melatonin in the development of lung injury induced by PM2.5. This study was designed to explore the potential roles of melatonin as well as its possible mechanisms in PM2.5-induced lung injury. In the present study, mice were intratracheally instilled with PM2.5 dissolved in sterile water to induce lung injury with or without intragastric administration of melatonin. The results showed that melatonin treatment significantly alleviated lung pathological injury and edema, apart from inhibiting inflammatory cell infiltration. Meantime, melatonin also decreased the makers of ferroptosis and lipid peroxidation products in lung tissues challenged with PM2.5. Additionally, melatonin promoted the nuclear translocation and expression of Nrf2 and the protein degradation of Keap1. However, the pulmonary protection and anti-ferroptosis effect of melatonin were counteracted in Nrf2-deficiency mice. In vitro experiments further demonstrated that Nrf2 knockdown could offset anti-ferroptosis effect of melatonin in MLE-12 lung epithelial cells. Taken together, our study disclosed that melatonin could relieve PM2.5-induced lung injury via inhibiting ferroptosis of lung epithelial cells by activating Nrf2. Hence, melatonin may be a promising candidate against lung injury associated with air particulate matter.

Targeting Ferroptosis for Lung Diseases: Exploring Novel Strategies in Ferroptosis-Associated Mechanisms. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2021; 2021:1098970. [PMID: 34630843 PMCID: PMC8494591 DOI: 10.1155/2021/1098970] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2021] [Revised: 09/04/2021] [Accepted: 09/22/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent regulated necrosis characterized by the peroxidation damage of lipid molecular containing unsaturated fatty acid long chain on the cell membrane or organelle membrane after cellular deactivation restitution system, resulting in the cell membrane rupture. Ferroptosis is biochemically and morphologically distinct and disparate from other forms of regulated cell death. Recently, mounting studies have investigated the mechanism of ferroptosis, and numerous proteins play vital roles in regulating ferroptosis. With detailed studies, emerging evidence indicates that ferroptosis is found in multiple lung diseases, demonstrating that ferroptosis appears to be particularly important for lung diseases. The mounting interest in ferroptosis drugs specifically targeting the ferroptosis mechanism holds substantial therapeutic promise in lung diseases. The present review emphatically summarizes the functions and integrated molecular mechanisms of ferroptosis in various lung diseases, proposing that multiangle regulation of ferroptosis might be a promising strategy for the clinical treatment of lung diseases.

Abstract
Respiratory failure is associated with increased mortality in COVID-19 patients. There are no validated lower airway biomarkers to predict clinical outcome. We investigated whether bacterial respiratory infections were associated with poor clinical outcome of COVID-19 in a prospective, observational cohort of 589 critically ill adults, all of whom required mechanical ventilation. For a subset of 142 patients who underwent bronchoscopy, we quantified SARS-CoV-2 viral load, analysed the lower respiratory tract microbiome using metagenomics and metatranscriptomics and profiled the host immune response. Acquisition of a hospital-acquired respiratory pathogen was not associated with fatal outcome. Poor clinical outcome was associated with lower airway enrichment with an oral commensal (Mycoplasma salivarium). Increased SARS-CoV-2 abundance, low anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody response and a distinct host transcriptome profile of the lower airways were most predictive of mortality. Our data provide evidence that secondary respiratory infections do not drive mortality in COVID-19 and clinical management strategies should prioritize reducing viral replication and maximizing host responses to SARS-CoV-2.

Mol Med Rep 2021; 24:807. [PMID: 34542160 DOI: 10.3892/mmr.2021.12447] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2021] [Accepted: 08/23/2021] [Indexed: 11/06/2022] Open
Abstract
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a deadly illness which presents with severe hypoxemia as well as diffuse alveolar damage. Jumonji domain‑containing 3 (JMJD3), which belongs to the UTX/UTY JmjC‑domain protein subfamily, is involved in infection, development, aging and immune disorders. However, the role of JMJD3 in acute lung injury (ALI) is still unclear. The present study explored the roles and potential mechanisms of JMJD3 in ALI. Alveolar epithelial cell‑specific knockout of JMJD3 mice and A549 alveolar epithelial cells were used to investigate the function of JMJD3 in ALI. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was used to establish an in vivo and in vitro ALI model. The expression of JMJD3 in murine lung tissue and alveolar epithelial cells was detected. Pathological injury of lung tissue and alveolar epithelial cells was also investigated following inhibition of JMJD3. The results showed that JMJD3 expression was significantly increased in murine lung tissues and in A549 cells following LPS stimulation. JMJD3‑deficient mice in alveolar epithelial cells exhibited alleviated lung pathological injury and ferroptosis following h stimulation. Mechanistically, it was found that JMJD3 knockout could increase the expression of nuclear factor erythroid‑2‑related factor‑2 (Nrf2) in lung tissues challenged with h. However, Nrf2 overexpression by adenovirus could further enhance the anti‑ferroptotic effect from JMJD3 silence in h‑treated A549 cells. Taken together, the present study revealed that JMJD3 deficiency may relieve LPS‑induced ALI by blocking alveolar epithelial ferroptosis in a Nrf2‑dependent manner, which may serve as a novel therapeutic target against ALI.

Abstract
Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is a major cause of cell death and organ damage in numerous pathologies, including myocardial infarction, stroke, and acute kidney injury. Current treatment methods for I/R injury are limited. Ferroptosis, which is a newly uncovered type of regulated cell death characterized by iron overload and lipid peroxidation accumulation, has been investigated in various diseases. There is increasing evidence of a close association between ferroptosis and I/R injury, with ferroptosis frequently identified as a new therapeutic target for the management of I/R injury. This review summarizes the current status of ferroptosis and discusses its relationship with I/R injury, as well as potential treatment strategies targeting it.

Abstract
Background The effective treatment and prognosis prediction of bladder cancer (BLCA) remains a medical problem. Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent form of programmed cell death. Ferroptosis is closely related to tumour occurrence and progression, but the prognostic value of ferroptosis-related genes (FRGs) in BLCA remains to be further clarified. In this study, we identified an FRG signature with potential prognostic value for patients with BLCA. Methods The corresponding clinical data and mRNA expression profiles of BLCA patients were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Univariate Cox regression was used to extract FRGs related to survival time, and a Cox regression model was used to construct a multigene signature. Both principal component analysis (PCA) and single-sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA) were performed for functional annotation. Results Clinical traits were combined with FRGs, and 15 prognosis-related FRGs were identified by Cox regression. High expression of CISD1, GCLM, CRYAB, SLC7A11, TFRC, ACACA, ZEB1, SQLE, FADS2, ABCC1, G6PD and PGD was related to poor survival in BLCA patients. Multivariate Cox regression was used to construct a prognostic model with 7 FRGs that divided patients into two risk groups. Compared with that in the low-risk group, the overall survival (OS) of patients in the high-risk group was significantly lower (P < 0.001). In multivariate regression analysis, the risk score was shown to be an independent predictor of OS (HR = 1.772, P < 0.01). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis verified the predictive ability of the model. In addition, the two risk groups displayed different immune statuses in ssGSEA and different distributed patterns in PCA. Conclusion Our research suggests that a new gene model related to ferroptosis can be applied for the prognosis prediction of BLCA. Targeting FRGs may be a treatment option for BLCA.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a newly discovered type of regulated cell death that is different from apoptosis, necrosis and autophagy. Ferroptosis is characterized by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation, which induces cell death. Iron, lipid and amino acid metabolism is associated with ferroptosis. Ferroptosis is involved in the pathological development of various diseases, such as neurological diseases and cancer. Recent studies have shown that ferroptosis is also closely related to acute lung injury (ALI)/ acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), suggesting that it can be a novel therapeutic target. This article mainly introduces the metabolic mechanism related to ferroptosis and discusses its role in ALI/ARDS to provide new ideas for the treatment of these diseases.

Abstract
Mortality among patients with COVID-19 and respiratory failure is high and there are no known lower airway biomarkers that predict clinical outcome. We investigated whether bacterial respiratory infections and viral load were associated with poor clinical outcome and host immune tone. We obtained bacterial and fungal culture data from 589 critically ill subjects with COVID-19 requiring mechanical ventilation. On a subset of the subjects that underwent bronchoscopy, we also quantified SARS-CoV-2 viral load, analyzed the microbiome of the lower airways by metagenome and metatranscriptome analyses and profiled the host immune response. We found that isolation of a hospital-acquired respiratory pathogen was not associated with fatal outcome. However, poor clinical outcome was associated with enrichment of the lower airway microbiota with an oral commensal ( Mycoplasma salivarium ), while high SARS-CoV-2 viral burden, poor anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody response, together with a unique host transcriptome profile of the lower airways were most predictive of mortality. Collectively, these data support the hypothesis that 1) the extent of viral infectivity drives mortality in severe COVID-19, and therefore 2) clinical management strategies targeting viral replication and host responses to SARS-CoV-2 should be prioritized.

Ferroptosis is a new form of regulated cell death (RCD) driven by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation, which is morphologically and mechanistically distinct from other forms of RCD including apoptosis, autophagic cell death, pyroptosis and necroptosis. Recently, ferroptosis has been found to participate in the development of various cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) including doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity, ischemia/reperfusion-induced cardiomyopathy, heart failure, aortic dissection and stroke. Cardiovascular homeostasis is indulged in delicate equilibrium of assorted cell types composing the heart or vessels, and how ferroptosis contributes to the pathophysiological responses in CVD progression is unclear. Herein, we reviewed recent discoveries on the basis of ferroptosis and its involvement in CVD pathogenesis, together with related therapeutic potentials, aiming to provide insights on fundamental mechanisms of ferroptosis and implications in CVDs and associated disorders.
