Aging Cell 2023:e13807. [PMID: 36890785 DOI: 10.1111/acel.13807] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2023] [Revised: 02/10/2023] [Accepted: 02/13/2023] [Indexed: 03/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent cell death that has been found to aggravate the progression of osteoarthritis (OA) and gut microbiota- OA axis refers to the bidirectional information network between the gut microbiota and OA, which may provide a new way to protect the OA. However, the role of gut microbiota-derived metabolites in ferroptosis-relative osteoarthritis remains unclear. The objective of this study was to analyze the protective effect of gut microbiota and its metabolite capsiate (CAT) on ferroptosis-relative osteoarthritis in vivo and in vitro experiments. From June 2021 to February 2022, 78 patients were evaluated retrospectively and divided into two groups: The health group (n = 39) and the OA group (n = 40). Iron and oxidative stress indicators were determined in peripheral blood samples. And then in vivo and in vitro experiments, a surgically destabilized medial meniscus (DMM) mice model was established and treated with CAT or Ferric Inhibitor-1 (Fer-1). Solute Carrier Family 2 Member 1 (SLC2A1) short hairpin RNA (shRNA) was utilized to inhibit SLC2A1 expression. Serum iron was increased significantly but total iron binding capacity was decreased significantly in OA patients than healthy people (p < 0.0001). The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator clinical prediction model suggested that serum iron, total iron binding capacity, transferrin, and superoxide dismutase were all independent predictors of OA (p < 0.001). Bioinformatics results suggested that SLC2A1, Metastasis-Associated Lung Adenocarcinoma Transcript 1 (MALAT1), and HIF-1α (Hypoxia Inducible Factor 1 Alpha)-related oxidative stress signaling pathways play an important role in iron homeostasis and OA. In addition, gut microbiota 16s RNA sequencing and untargeted metabolomics were used to find that gut microbiota metabolites CAT in mice with osteoarthritis were negatively correlated with Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OARSI) scores for chondrogenic degeneration (p = 0.0017). Moreover, CAT reduced ferroptosis-dependent osteoarthritis in vivo and in vitro. However, the protective effect of CAT against ferroptosis-dependent osteoarthritis could be eliminated by silencing SLC2A1. SLC2A1 was upregulated but reduced the SLC2A1 and HIF-1α levels in the DMM group. HIF-1α, MALAT1, and apoptosis levels were increased after SLC2A1 knockout in chondrocyte cells (p = 0.0017). Finally, downregulation of SLC2A1 expression by Adeno-associated Virus (AAV) -SLC2A1 shRNA improves osteoarthritis in vivo. Our findings indicated that CAT inhibited HIF-1a expression and reduced ferroptosis-relative osteoarthritis progression by activating SLC2A1.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is different from other forms of cell death, such as apoptosis, autophagy, pyroptosis, and cuproptosis, mainly involving iron metabolism and lipid peroxidation. Ferroptosis plays an important role in various disease, such as malignant tumors, neuron-degenerative diseases, and cardiovascular diseases, and has become the focus of current research. Both iron overload and lipid peroxide accumulation contribute to the occurrence, development, and treatment of musculoskeletal diseases, such as osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, osteosarcoma, intervertebral disc degeneration, and spinal cord injury. For a better understanding of the potential roles ferroptosis may play in pathophysiology and treatment of common musculoskeletal disorders, this article briefly reviewed the relationship and possible mechanisms. Through an investigation of ferroptosis’ role in musculoskeletal diseases’ occurrence, development, and treatment, ferroptosis could offer new opportunities for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Genome-Wide Association Study and Transcriptome of Japanese Patients with Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip Demonstrates an Association with the Ferroptosis Signaling Pathway. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24055019. [PMID: 36902448 PMCID: PMC10003185 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24055019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2023] [Revised: 02/28/2023] [Accepted: 03/04/2023] [Indexed: 03/08/2023] Open
Abstract
This study examined the association between developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) and disease-associated loci in a Japanese cohort. A genome-wide association study (GWAS) of 238 Japanese patients with DDH and 2044 healthy individuals was performed. As a replicate, GWAS was also conducted on the UK Biobank data with 3315 cases and matched 74,038 controls. Gene set enrichment analyses (GSEAs) of both the genetics and transcriptome of DDH were performed. Transcriptome analysis of cartilage specimens from DDH-associated osteoarthritis and femoral neck fractures was performed as a control. Most of the lead variants were very low-frequency ones in the UK, and variants in the Japanese GWAS could not be replicated with the UK GWAS. We assigned DDH-related candidate variants to 42 and 81 genes from the Japanese and UK GWASs, respectively, using functional mapping and annotation. GSEA of gene ontology, disease ontology, and canonical pathways identified the most enriched pathway to be the ferroptosis signaling pathway, both in the Japanese gene set as well as the Japanese and UK merged set. Transcriptome GSEA also identified significant downregulation of genes in the ferroptosis signaling pathway. Thus, the ferroptosis signaling pathway may be associated with the pathogenic mechanism of DDH.

Abstract
Background Ferroptosis is a nonapoptotic cell death process that is characterized by lipid peroxidation and intracellular iron accumulation. As osteoarthritis (OA) progresses, inflammation or iron overload induces ferroptosis of chondrocytes. However, the genes that play a vital role in this process are still poorly studied. Methods Ferroptosis was elicited in the ATDC5 chondrocyte cell line and primary chondrocytes by administration of the proinflammatory cytokines, interleukin (IL)-1β and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, which play key roles in OA. The effect of FOXO3 expression on apoptosis, extracellular matrix (ECM) metabolism, and ferroptosis in ATDC5 cells and primary chondrocytes was verified by western blot, Immunohistochemistry (IMHC), immunofluorescence (IF) and measuring Malondialdehyde (MDA) and Glutathione (GSH) levels. The signal cascades that modulated FOXO3-mediated ferroptosis were identified by using chemical agonists/antagonists and lentivirus. In vivo experiments were performed following destabilization of medial meniscus surgery on 8-week-old C57BL/6 mice and included micro-computed tomography measurements. Results In vitro administration of IL-1β and TNF-α, to ATDC5 cells or primary chondrocytes induced ferroptosis. In addition, the ferroptosis agonist, erastin, and the ferroptosis inhibitor, ferrostatin-1, downregulated or upregulated the protein expression of forkhead box O3 (FOXO3), respectively. This, suggested, for the first time, that FOXO3 may regulate ferroptosis in articular cartilage. Our results further suggested that FOXO3 regulated ECM metabolism via the ferroptosis mechanism in ATDC5 cells and primary chondrocytes. Moreover, a role for the NF-κB/mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling cascade in regulating FOXO3 and ferroptosis was demonstrated. In vivo experiments confirmed the rescue effect of intra-articular injection of a FOXO3-overexpressing lentivirus against erastin-aggravated OA. Conclusions The results of our study show that the activation of ferroptosis promotes chondrocyte death and disrupts the ECM both in vivo and in vitro. In addition, FOXO3 can reduce OA progression by inhibiting ferroptosis through the NF-κB/MAPK signaling pathway. The Translational potential of this article This study highlights the important role of chondrocyte ferroptosis regulated by FOXO3 through the NF-κB/MAPK signaling in the progression of OA. The inhibition of chondrocyte ferroptosis by activating FOXO3 is expected to be a new target for the treatment of OA.

Abstract
Ferroptosis, a unique type of cell death, is characterized by iron-dependent accumulation and lipid peroxidation. It is closely related to multiple biological processes, including iron metabolism, polyunsaturated fatty acid metabolism, and the biosynthesis of compounds with antioxidant activities, including glutathione. In the past 10 years, increasing evidence has indicated a potentially strong relationship between ferroptosis and the onset and progression of age-related orthopedic diseases, such as osteoporosis and osteoarthritis. Therefore, in-depth knowledge of the regulatory mechanisms of ferroptosis in age-related orthopedic diseases may help improve disease treatment and prevention. This review provides an overview of recent research on ferroptosis and its influences on bone and cartilage homeostasis. It begins with a brief overview of systemic iron metabolism and ferroptosis, particularly the potential mechanisms of ferroptosis. It presents a discussion on the role of ferroptosis in age-related orthopedic diseases, including promotion of bone loss and cartilage degradation and the inhibition of osteogenesis. Finally, it focuses on the future of targeting ferroptosis to treat age-related orthopedic diseases with the intention of inspiring further clinical research and the development of therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common degenerative disease of articular cartilage, and there is currently no effective treatment. Baicalein, a flavonoid extracted from plants of the Scutellaria genus, has frequently been used in the past as an anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic therapy. This study investigated the effect of baicalein on OA development. For in vivo study, a destabilization of the medial meniscus (DMM)-induced OA model was established in 8-week-old wild-type (WT) and AMPKα-knockout (KO) mice, while an in vitro study was performed using chondrocytes in an OA microenvironment induced by interleukin-1β (IL-1β) exposure. We found that baicalein alleviated OA development in vivo and exerted a chondroprotective effect in vitro by suppressing chondrocyte ferroptosis. Baicalein reduced OA-related pain sensitivity by inhibiting ferroptosis of chondrocytes in OA mice. Baicalein also facilitated AMPK holoenzyme assembly, stability, and activity and suppressed ferroptosis by inducing AMPKα phosphorylation in chondrocyte. In addition, AMPKα preserved nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2(Nrf2) abundance in chondrocytes and induced Nrf2 into nucleus by promoting Keap1 degradation. Meanwhile, Nrf2 increased expression of heme oxygenase-1(HO-1) to inhibit chondrocyte lipid ROS. Taken together, these results showed that baicalein alleviated OA development by improving the activity of AMPK/Nrf2/HO-1 signaling to inhibit chondrocyte ferroptosis, revealing baicalein to be a potential therapeutic strategy for OA.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a novel type of cell death associated with iron accumulation and excessive lipid peroxidation. Elucidating the underlying molecular mechanisms of ferroptosis is intensively related to the development and treatment of multiple diseases, including musculoskeletal disorders. Moreover, in vitro and in vivo studies have shown the importance of oxidative stress in musculoskeletal conditions such as osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and osteosarcoma. Ferroptosis-derived clinical management of musculoskeletal diseases offers tremendous and attractive opportunities. Notably, ferroptosis agonists have been proven to enhance the sensitivity of osteosarcoma cells to conventional therapeutic strategies. In this review, we have mainly focused on the implications of ferroptosis regulation in the pathophysiology and therapeutic response of musculoskeletal disorders. Understanding roles of ferroptosis for controlling musculoskeletal diseases might provide directions for ferroptosis-driven therapies, which could be promising for the development of novel therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ferroptosis-related genes disrupt iron homeostasis and enhance lipid peroxidation to initiate respiratory system diseases. However, the association between genetic variants in the ferroptosis-related genes with house dust mite (HDM)-induced allergic rhinitis (AR) susceptibility remains unclear. METHODS A case-control study, involving 222 cases and 237 healthy controls from a Chinese population, was conducted to evaluate the relationship between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in ferroptosis-related genes and HDM-induced AR risk. A gene-based analysis was performed by multi-marker analysis of genomic annotation (MAGMA) to identify candidate associated ferroptosis-related genes. A logistic regression model and joint analysis were used to assess the effect of SNPs on HDM-induced AR susceptibility. RESULTS Two independent SNPs (rs2305128 in ENPP2 and rs1868088 in EPAS1) were significantly associated with HDM-induced AR risk (OR = 1.82, 95% CI = 1.19-2.79, P = 5.98 × 10-3, PFDR = 4.88 × 10-2; OR = 2.14, 95% CI = 1.23-3.72, P = 6.95 × 10-3, PFDR = 4.87 × 10-2, respectively). Moreover, combined analysis of these two SNPs revealed that an increased risk of HDM-induced AR was positively associated with an increasing number of risk genotypes (Ptrend = 8.48 × 10-5). The stratification analysis showed that the cumulative effect of two SNPs on HDM-induced AR risk was more pronounced among patients presenting more serious symptoms and harboring one or two risk genotypes. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that the genetic variants in ferroptosis-related genes ENPP2 and EPAS1 may increase HDM-induced AR risk and serve as potential predictors of HDM-induced AR susceptibility.

Abstract
Mature milk, as a nutrient-rich endogenous metabolite, has various beneficial effects on the human body. In order to investigate the specific nutrients provided by different dairy products to humans, we used UHPLC-Q-TOF MS to analyze the highly significantly differentially expressed metabolites in 13 species of mammalian mature milk, which were grouped into 17 major metabolite classes with 1992 metabolites based on chemical classification. KEGG shows that 5 pathways in which differentially significant metabolites are actively involved are ABC transporters, Purine metabolism, Pyrimidine metabolism, Phosphotransferase system, Galactose metabolism. The study found that pig milk and goat milk are closer to human milk and contain more nutrients that are beneficial to human health, followed by camel milk and cow milk. In the context of dairy production, the development of goat milk is more likely to meet human needs and health.

He Q, Yang J, Pan Z, Zhang G, Chen B, Li S, Xiao J, Tan F, Wang Z, Chen P, Wang H. Biochanin A protects against iron overload associated knee osteoarthritis via regulating iron levels and NRF2/System xc-/GPX4 axis. Biomed Pharmacother 2023; 157:113915. [PMID: 36379122 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2022.113915] [Citation(s) in RCA: 36] [Impact Index Per Article: 36.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/18/2022] [Revised: 10/14/2022] [Accepted: 10/24/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Iron homeostasis plays a positive role in articular cartilage health. Excessive iron or iron overload can induce oxidative stress damage in chondrocytes and ferroptosis cell death, advancing knee osteoarthritis (KOA). However, up to date, few effective agents treat iron overload-induced KOA (IOKOA). Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) provides abundant resources for drug selection to manage bone metabolic conditions, including osteoporosis. Biochanin A (BCA) is a novel bioactive multifunctional natural compound isolated from Huangqi, which has protective effects on bone loss. Nevertheless, the function and mechanism of BCA in treating IOKOA are still elusive. PURPOSE This study seeks to uncover the potential therapeutic targets and mechanisms of BCA in the management of KOA with iron accumulation. METHODS Iron dextrin (500 mg/kg) was intraperitoneally injected into mice to establish the iron overloaded mice model. OA was induced through surgery, and the progression was evaluated eight weeks following surgery. OA severity was evaluated with micro-CT and Safranin-O/Fast green staining in vivo. Iron deposition in the knee joint and synovium was assessed using Perl's Prussian blue staining. Ferric ammonium citrate (FAC) was then administered to primary chondrocytes to evaluate iron regulators mediated iron homeostasis. Toluidine blue staining was utilized to identify chondrocytes in vitro. The vitality of the cells was assessed using the CCK-8 test. The apoptosis rate of cells was measured using Annexin V-FITC/PI assay. The intracellular iron level was detected utilizing the calcein-AM test. Reactive oxygen species (ROS), lipid-ROS, and mitochondrial membrane potentiality were reflected via fluorescence density. Utilizing RT-qPCR and western blotting, the expression level was determined. RESULTS Micro-CT and histological staining of knee joints showed greater cartilage degradation and higher iron buildup detected in iron-overloaded mice. BCA can reduce iron deposition and the severity of KOA. Toluidine blue staining and the CCK-8 assay indicated that BCA could rescue chondrocytes killed by iron. Cell apoptosis rates were increased due to iron overload but improved by BCA. Further, the intracellular content of iron, ROS, and lipid-ROS was increased with ferric ammonium citrate (FAC) treatment but restored after treatment with different concentrations of BCA. JC-1 staining revealed that BCA could reduce mitochondrial damage induced by iron overload. CONCLUSION Iron overload was shown to promote chondrocyte ferroptosis in vivo and in vitro. Moreover, iron overload suppressed the expression of collagen II and induced MMP expression by catalyzing ROS generation with mitochondrial dysfunction. Our results showed that BCA could directly reduce intracellular iron concentration by inhibiting TfR1 and promoting FPN but also target the Nrf2/system xc-/GPX4 signaling pathway to scavenge free radicals and prevent lipid peroxidation. The results of this research indicate that BCA regulates iron homeostasis during the progression of osteoarthritis, which can open a new field of treatment for KOA.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common disabling disease which has a high incidence rate in the elderly. Studies have found that many factors are involved in the pathogenesis of OA. Hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) are core regulators that induce hypoxia genes, repair the cellular oxygen environment, and play an important role in the treatment of OA. For example, HIF-1α can maintain the stability of the articular cartilage matrix, HIF-2α is able to cause chondrocyte apoptosis and intensify in-flammatory response, and HIF-3α may be the target gene of HIF-1α and HIF-2α, thereby playing a negative regulatory role. This review examines the mechanism of HIFs in cartilage extracellular matrix degradation, apoptosis, inflammatory reaction, autophagy and then further expounds on the roles of HIFs in OA, consequently providing theoretical support for the pathogenesis of OA and a new target for OA treatment.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common chronic disabling disease that affects hundreds of millions of people around the world. The most important pathological feature is the rupture and loss of articular cartilage, and the characteristics of avascular joint tissues lead to limited repair ability. Currently, there is no effective treatment to prevent cartilage degeneration. Studies on the mechanism of cartilage metabolism revealed that hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) are key regulatory genes that maintain the balance of cartilage catabolism-matrix anabolism and are considered to be the major OA regulator and promising OA treatment target. Although the exact mechanism of HIFs in OA needs to be further clarified, many drugs that directly or indirectly act on HIF signaling pathways have been confirmed by animal experiments and regarded as promising treatments for OA. Targeting HIFs will provide a promising strategy for the development of new OA drugs. This article reviews the regulation of HIFs on intra-articular cartilage homeostasis and its influence on the progression of osteoarthritis and summarizes the recent advances in OA therapies targeting the HIF system.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Colon cancer is common worldwide, with high morbidity and poor prognosis. Ferroptosis is a novel form of cell death driven by the accumulation of iron-dependent lipid peroxides, which differs from other programmed cell death mechanisms. Programmed cell death is a cancer hallmark, and ferroptosis is known to participate in various cancers, including colon cancer. Novel ferroptosis markers and targeted colon cancer therapies are urgently needed. To this end, we performed a preliminary exploration of ferroptosis-related genes in colon cancer to enable new treatment strategies. METHODS Ferroptosis-related genes in colon cancer were obtained by data mining and screening for differentially expressed genes (DEGs) using bioinformatics analysis tools. We normalized the data across four independent datasets and a ferroptosis-specific database. Identified genes were validated by immunohistochemical analysis of pathological and healthy clinical samples. RESULTS We identified DEGs in colon cancer that are involved in ferroptosis. Among these, five core genes were found: ELAVL1, GPX2, EPAS1, SLC7A5, and HMGB1. Bioinformatics analyses revealed that the expression of all five genes, except for EPAS1, was higher in tumor tissues than in healthy tissues. CONCLUSIONS The preliminary exploration of the five core genes revealed that they are differentially expressed in colon cancer, playing an essential role in ferroptosis. This study provides a foundation for subsequent research on ferroptosis in colon cancer.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a novel form of cell death precisely regulated by iron metabolism, antioxidant processes, and lipid metabolism that plays an irreplaceable role in the development of many diseases. Musculoskeletal disorders (MSKs), including osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, intervertebral disc degeneration, sarcopenia, and rhabdomyolysis, have become one of the most common causes of disability and a major burden on public health and social care systems. The mechanism of ferroptosis in MSKs has recently been elucidated. In this review, we briefly introduce the ferroptosis mechanism and illustrate the pathological roles of ferroptosis in MSKs with a focus on how ferroptosis can be exploited as a promising treatment strategy. Notably, because the toxicity of compounds that inhibit or induce ferroptosis in other organs is largely unknown, ferroptosis appears to be a double-edged sword. We point out that more research is needed in the future to verify the therapeutic effects based on ferroptosis in MSKs.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a novel form of regulated cell death that has a close association with mitochondrial dysfunction and is characterized by iron overload, the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and lipid ROS. Chondrocytes ferroptosis accelerates the progression of osteoarthritis (OA). Astaxanthin (ATX) is a xanthophyll carotenoid that possesses anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties and has been explored in research studies for the treatment of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. However, the role it plays in OA, particularly in chondrocyte ferroptosis, has not yet been reported. In this study, ferroptosis-related events were analyzed in rat chondrocytes in vitro. A surgical destabilized medial meniscus was performed for the establishment of in vivo OA model. The results showed that interleukin-1β (IL-1β) induced inflammatory injury in chondrocytes through the promotion of the expressions of inflammatory factors including inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX2). IL-1β triggered chondrocyte ferroptosis by increasing the levels of intracellular ROS, lipid ROS, iron, and mitochondrial iron and inhibiting the expressions of SLC7A11/glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) and Ferritin. The above indices were ameliorated by ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1, a classic ferroptosis inhibitor) and ATX. Furthermore, Fer-1 and ATX rescued the IL-1β-induced down-regulating collagen type II (collagen Ⅱ) and up-regulating matrix metalloproteinase 13 (MMP13). Following treatment with IL-1β, mitochondrial membrane potential decreased and the mitochondrial membrane was broken. At the same time, the mitochondrion shrank, becoming deformed as the mitochondrial cristae reduced and became disrupted. These changes were entirely consistent with ferroptosis features. All the aforementioned phenomena were reversed by Fer-1 and ATX. In addition, intra-articular injection of Fer-1 and ATX delayed articular cartilage degradation and OA progression. This study demonstrated that IL-1β can induce inflammatory damage and ferroptosis in chondrocytes. Both Fer-1 and ATX have the ability to mitigate chondrocyte injury and osteoarthritis progression by inhibiting ferroptosis and the regulation of mitochondrial function. Targeting ferroptosis has the potential to be a promising future treatment method for OA.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a new iron-dependent programmed cell death process that is directly mediated by the accumulation of lipid peroxides and reactive oxygen species. Numerous studies have shown that ferroptosis is important in regulating the occurrence and development of bone-related diseases, but the underlying mechanisms are not completely clear. Herein, we review the progress of the mechanism of ferroptosis in bone marrow injury, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, and osteosarcoma and attempt to deeply understand the regulatory targets of ferroptosis, which will open up a new way for the prevention and treatment of orthopedic diseases.

Abstract
Oxidative stress and AKT serine-threonine kinase (AKT) are responsible for regulating several cell functions of cancer cells. Several natural products modulate both oxidative stress and AKT for anticancer effects. However, the impact of natural product-modulating oxidative stress and AKT on cell functions lacks systemic understanding. Notably, the contribution of regulating cell functions by AKT downstream effectors is not yet well integrated. This review explores the role of oxidative stress and AKT pathway (AKT/AKT effectors) on ten cell functions, including apoptosis, autophagy, endoplasmic reticulum stress, mitochondrial morphogenesis, ferroptosis, necroptosis, DNA damage response, senescence, migration, and cell-cycle progression. The impact of oxidative stress and AKT are connected to these cell functions through cell function mediators. Moreover, the AKT effectors related to cell functions are integrated. Based on this rationale, natural products with the modulating abilities for oxidative stress and AKT pathway exhibit the potential to regulate these cell functions, but some were rarely reported, particularly for AKT effectors. This review sheds light on understanding the roles of oxidative stress and AKT pathway in regulating cell functions, providing future directions for natural products in cancer treatment.

Abstract
Ferroptosis, a recently discovered regulated cell death modality, is characterised by iron-dependent accumulation of lipid hydroperoxides, which can reach lethal levels but can be specifically reversed by ferroptosis inhibitors. Osteoarthritis (OA), the most common degenerative joint disease, is characterised by a complex pathogenesis involving mechanical overload, increased inflammatory mediator levels, metabolic alterations, and cell senescence and death. Since iron accumulation and oxidative stress are the universal pathological features of OA, the role played by ferroptosis in OA has been extensively explored. Increasing evidence has shown that iron dyshomeostasis and lipid peroxidation are closely associated with OA pathogenesis. Therefore, in this review, we summarize recent evidence by focusing on ferroptotic mechanisms and the role played by ferroptosis in OA pathogenesis from the perspectives of clinical findings, animal models, and cell research. By summarizing recent research advances that characterize the relationship between ferroptosis and OA, we highlight avenues for further research and potential therapeutic targets.

[PMID: 36011284 PMCID: PMC9407156 DOI: 10.3390/genes13081373] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/01/2022] [Revised: 07/26/2022] [Accepted: 07/27/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: The pathogenesis of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) remains undetermined. Ferroptosis is a newly discovered form of regulated cell death involved in multiple autoimmune diseases. Currently, there are no reports on the connection between ferroptosis and AS. Methods: AS samples from the Gene Expression Omnibus were divided into two subgroups using consensus clustering of ferroptosis-related genes (FRGs). Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) of the intergroup differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and protein–protein interaction (PPI) analysis of the key module were used to screen out hub genes. A multifactor regulatory network was then constructed based on hub genes. Results: The 52 AS patients in dataset GSE73754 were divided into cluster 1 (n = 24) and cluster 2 (n = 28). DEGs were mainly enriched in pathways related to mitochondria, ubiquitin, and neurodegeneration. Candidate hub genes, screened by PPI and WGCNA, were intersected. Subsequently, 12 overlapping genes were identified as definitive hub genes. A multifactor interaction network with 45 nodes and 150 edges was generated, comprising the 12 hub genes and 32 non-coding RNAs. Conclusions: AS can be divided into two subtypes according to FRG expression. Ferroptosis might play a regulatory role in AS. Tailoring treatment according to the ferroptosis status of AS patients can be a promising direction.

Emerging Potential Therapeutic Targets of Ferroptosis in Skeletal Diseases. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2022; 2022:3112388. [PMID: 35941905 PMCID: PMC9356861 DOI: 10.1155/2022/3112388] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2022] [Accepted: 07/12/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
Ferroptosis is a new programmed cell death characterized by the accumulation of lipid peroxidation mediated by iron and inflammation. Since the transcentury realization of ferroptosis as an iron-dependent modality of nonapoptotic cell death in 2012, there has been growing interest in the function of ferroptosis and its relationship to clinical diseases. Recent studies have shown that ferroptosis is associated with multiple diseases, including degenerative diseases, ischemia reperfusion injury, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. Cell death induced by ferroptosis has also been related to several skeletal diseases, such as inflammatory arthritis, osteoporosis, and osteoarthritis. Research on ferroptosis can clarify the pathogenesis of skeletal diseases and provide a novel therapeutic target for its treatment. In this review, we summarize current information about the molecular mechanism of ferroptosis and describe its emerging role and therapeutic potential in skeletal diseases.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent form of programmed cell death and an important type of biological catabolism. Through the action of divalent iron or ester oxygenase, ferroptosis can induce lipid peroxidation and cell death, regulating a variety of physiological processes. The role of ferroptosis in the modulation of bone homeostasis is a significant topic of interest. Herein, we review and discuss recent studies exploring the mechanisms and functions of ferroptosis in different bone-related cells, including mesenchymal stem cells, osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and osteocytes. The association between ferroptosis and disorders of bone homeostasis is also explored in this review. Overall, we aim to provide a detailed overview of ferroptosis, summarizing recent understanding on its role in regulation of bone physiology and bone disease pathogenesis.

Abstract
Radiation therapy plays an increasingly important role in cancer treatment. It can inhibit the progression of various cancers through radiation-induced DNA breakage and reactive oxygen species (ROS) overload. Unfortunately, solid tumors, such as breast and lung cancer, often develop a hypoxic microenvironment due to insufficient blood supply and rapid tumor proliferation, thereby affecting the effectiveness of radiation therapy. Restraining hypoxia and improving the curative effect of radiotherapy have become difficult problems. Ferroptosis is a new type of cell death caused by lipid peroxidation due to iron metabolism disorders and ROS accumulation. It plays an important role in both hypoxia and radiotherapy and can enhance the radiosensitivity of hypoxic tumor cells by amplifying oxidative stress or inhibiting antioxidant regulation. In this review, we summarize the internal relationship and related mechanisms between ferroptosis and hypoxia, thus exploring the possibility of inducing ferroptosis to improve the prognosis of hypoxic tumors.

The RNA-binding protein SND1 promotes the degradation of GPX4 by destabilizing the HSPA5 mRNA and suppressing HSPA5 expression, promoting ferroptosis in osteoarthritis chondrocytes. Inflamm Res 2022; 71:461-472. [PMID: 35320827 DOI: 10.1007/s00011-022-01547-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 15.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2021] [Revised: 01/31/2022] [Accepted: 02/05/2022] [Indexed: 12/31/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Heat shock protein family A member 5 (HSPA5), a recently identified suppressor of ferroptosis, was reported to potentially regulating osteoarthritis. However, the exact role of HSPA5 and how its expression was regulated in osteoarthritis are largely unclear. METHODS Rat primary chondrocytes were treated with 10 ng/mL IL-1β for 24 h and incubated with ferrostatin-1 (a ferroptosis inhibitor). Cell viability, production of TNF-α, ROS and MDA, expression levels of collagen II, MMP13, GPX4, and SND1, and Fe2+ concentration were detected. Gain- and loss-of-function manipulations were performed to investigate the effect of HSPA5 on chondrocyte functions, and SND1 shRNA (sh-SND1) was transfected into IL-1β-treated primary chondrocytes alone or together with sh-HSPA5. Furthermore, the interaction between HSPA5 and GPX4 and the regulation of HSPA5 on GPX4 were explored. Finally, SND1 was knocked down in the rats with osteoarthritis, and the histopathology, expression of HSPA5-GPX4 axis, and levels of oxidative stress markers were evaluated. RESULTS IL-1β treatment could enhance extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation (collagen II reduced and MMP13 increased), promote ferroptosis, manifested by decreased cell viability, increased levels of TNF-α, ROS, MDA, and Fe2+ concentrations, and decreased level of GPX4 protein, and increase SND1 expression in chondrocytes, which could be reversed by ferrostatin-1. Knockdown of SND1 enhanced ECM degradation and suppressed ferroptosis IL-1β-treated chondrocytes, which could be eliminated by knockdown of HSPA5. SND1 bound with HSPA5 at the 3'UTR and destabilized the HSPA5 mRNA. HSPA5 protein directly bound with GPX4 protein and positively regulate its expression. HSPA5 overexpression suppressed IL-1β-induced chondrocyte ferroptosis, while this effect was counteracted by GPX4 silencing. Knockdown of SND1 upregulated HSPA5 and GPX4 in rat cartilage, inhibited inflammatory damage and ferroptosis, and alleviated OA progression. CONCLUSION The RNA-binding protein SND1 promotes the degradation of GPX4 by destabilizing the HSPA5 mRNA and suppressing HSPA5 expression, promoting ferroptosis in osteoarthritis chondrocytes.

Abstract
There are multiple diseases or conditions such as hereditary hemochromatosis, hemophilia, thalassemia, sickle cell disease, aging, and estrogen deficiency that can cause iron overload in the human body. These diseases or conditions are frequently associated with osteoarthritic phenotypes, such as progressive cartilage degradation, alterations in the microarchitecture and biomechanics of the subchondral bone, persistent joint inflammation, proliferative synovitis, and synovial pannus. Growing evidences suggest that the conditions of pathological iron overload are associated with these osteoarthritic phenotypes. Osteoarthritis (OA) is an important complication in patients suffering from iron overload-related diseases and conditions. This review aims to summarize the findings and observations made in the field of iron overload-related OA while conducting clinical and basic research works. OA is a whole-joint disease that affects the articular cartilage lining surfaces of bones, subchondral bones, and synovial tissues in the joint cavity. Chondrocytes, osteoclasts, osteoblasts, and synovial-derived cells are involved in the disease. In this review, we will elucidate the cellular and molecular mechanisms associated with iron overload and the negative influence that iron overload has on joint homeostasis. The promising value of interrupting the pathologic effects of iron overload is also well discussed for the development of improved therapeutics that can be used in the field of OA.

Abstract
New research has shown that the development of osteoarthritis (OA) is regulated by different mechanisms of cell death and types of cytokines. Therefore, elucidating the mechanism of action among various cytokines, cell death processes and OA is important towards better understanding the pathogenesis and progression of the disease. This paper reviews the pathogenesis of OA in relation to different types of cytokine-triggered cell death. We describe the cell morphological features and molecular mechanisms of pyroptosis, apoptosis, necroptosis, and ferroptosis, and summarize the current research findings defining the molecular mechanisms of action between different cell death types and OA.

Cell Prolif 2021; 54:e13134. [PMID: 34561933 PMCID: PMC8560605 DOI: 10.1111/cpr.13134] [Citation(s) in RCA: 76] [Impact Index Per Article: 25.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2021] [Revised: 09/10/2021] [Accepted: 09/15/2021] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Chondrocyte ferroptosis contributes to osteoarthritis (OA) progression, and D-mannose shows therapeutic value in many inflammatory conditions. Here, we investigated whether D-mannose interferes in chondrocyte ferroptotic cell death during osteoarthritic cartilage degeneration. MATERIALS AND METHODS In vivo anterior cruciate ligament transection (ACLT)-induced OA mouse model and an in vitro study of chondrocytes in an OA microenvironment induced by interleukin-1β (IL-1β) exposure were employed. Combined with Epas1 gene gain- and loss-of-function, histology, immunofluorescence, quantitative RT-PCR, Western blot, cell viability and flow cytometry experiments were performed to evaluate the chondroprotective effects of D-mannose in OA progression and the role of hypoxia-inducible factor 2 alpha (HIF-2 α) in D-mannose-induced ferroptosis resistance of chondrocytes. RESULTS D-mannose exerted a chondroprotective effect by attenuating the sensitivity of chondrocytes to ferroptosis and alleviated OA progression. HIF-2α was identified as a central mediator in D-mannose-induced ferroptosis resistance of chondrocytes. Furthermore, overexpression of HIF-2α in chondrocytes by Ad-Epas1 intra-articular injection abolished the chondroprotective effect of D-mannose during OA progression and eliminated the role of D-mannose as a ferroptosis suppressor. CONCLUSIONS D-mannose alleviates osteoarthritis progression by suppressing HIF-2α-mediated chondrocyte sensitivity to ferroptosis, indicating D-mannose to be a potential therapeutic strategy for ferroptosis-related diseases.
