Abstract
INTRODUCTION Serious Staphylococcus aureus (SA) infection is one of the most life-threatening diseases. Interferon-induced protein 35 (IFP35) is a pleiotropic factor that participates in multiple biological functions, however, its biological role in SA infection is not fully understood. Ferroptosis is a new type of regulated cell death driven by the accretion of free iron and toxic lipid peroxides and plays critical roles in tissue damage. Whether ferroptosis is involved in SA-induced immunopathology and its regulatory mechanisms remain unknown. OBJECTIVES We aimed to determine the role and underlying mechanisms of IFP35 in SA-induced lung infections. METHODS SA infection models were established using wild-type (WT) and IFP35 knockout (Ifp35-/-) mice or macrophages. Histological analysis was performed to assess lung injury. Quantitative real-time PCR, western blotting, flow cytometry, and confocal microscopy were performed to detect ferroptosis. Co-IP and immunofluorescence were used to elucidate the molecular regulatory mechanisms. RESULTS We found that IFP35 levels increased in the macrophages and lung tissue of SA-infected mice. IFP35 deficiency protected against SA-induced lung damage in mice. Moreover, ferroptosis occurred and contributed to lung injury after SA infection, which was ameliorated by IFP35 deficiency. Mechanically, IFP35 facilitated the ubiquitination and degradation of nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), aggravating SA-induced ferroptosis and lung injury. CONCLUSIONS Our data demonstrate that IFP35 promotes ferroptosis by facilitating the ubiquitination and degradation of Nrf2 to exacerbate SA infection. Targeting IFP35 may be a promising approach for treating infectious diseases caused by SA.

Int J Biol Macromol 2024:133899.

Abstract
In the process of sepsis, excessive occurrence of pyroptosis, a form of programmed cell death acting as a defense mechanism against pathogens, can disrupt immune responses, thus leading to tissue damage and organ dysfunction. Chitosan oligosaccharide (COS), derived from chitosan degradation, has demonstrated diverse beneficial effects. However, its impact on sepsis-induced pyroptosis remains unexplored. In the present study, ATP/LPS was utilized to induce canonical-pyroptosis in THP-1 cells, while bacterial outer membrane vesicles (OMV) were employed to trigger non-canonical pyroptosis in RAW264.7 cells. Our results revealed a dose-dependent effect of COS on both types of pyroptosis. This was evidenced by a reduction in the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, as well as crucial regulatory proteins involved in pyroptosis. In addition, COS inhibited the cleavage of caspase-1 and GSDMD, and reduced ASC oligomerization. The underlying mechanism revealed that COS acts an antioxidant, reducing the release of pyroptosis-induced ROS and malondialdehyde (MDA) by upregulation the expression and promoting the nuclear translocation of nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), which led to an elevation of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) and superoxide dismutase (SOD). Notably, the actions of COS were completely reversed by the Nrf2 inhibitor. Consequently, COS intervention increased the survival rate of sepsis.

Abstract
Gasdermin (GSDM) family proteins, known as the executors of pyroptosis, undergo protease-mediated cleavage before inducing pyroptosis. We here discovered a form of pyroptosis mediated by full-length (FL) GSDME without proteolytic cleavage. Intense ultraviolet-C irradiation-triggered DNA damage activates nuclear PARP1, leading to extensive formation of poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) polymers. These PAR polymers are released to the cytoplasm, where they activate PARP5 to facilitate GSDME PARylation, resulting in a conformational change in GSDME that relieves autoinhibition. Moreover, ultraviolet-C irradiation promotes cytochrome c-catalysed cardiolipin peroxidation to elevate lipid reactive oxygen species, which is then sensed by PARylated GSDME, leading to oxidative oligomerization and plasma membrane targeting of FL-GSDME for perforation, eventually inducing pyroptosis. Reagents that concurrently stimulate PARylation and oxidation of FL-GSDME, synergistically promoting pyroptotic cell death. Overall, the present findings elucidate an unreported mechanism underlying the cleavage-independent function of GSDME in executing cell death, further enriching the paradigms and understanding of FL-GSDME-mediated pyroptosis.

Abstract
Sepsis, a life-threatening condition resulting from a dysregulated response to pathogen infection, poses a significant challenge in clinical management. Here, we report a novel role for the autophagy receptor NCOA4 in the pathogenesis of sepsis. Activated macrophages and monocytes secrete NCOA4, which acts as a mediator of septic death in mice. Mechanistically, lipopolysaccharide, a major component of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria, induces NCOA4 secretion through autophagy-dependent lysosomal exocytosis mediated by ATG5 and MCOLN1. Moreover, bacterial infection with E. coli or S. enterica leads to passive release of NCOA4 during GSDMD-mediated pyroptosis. Upon release, extracellular NCOA4 triggers the activation of the proinflammatory transcription factor NFKB/NF-κB by promoting the degradation of NFKBIA/IκB molecules. This process is dependent on the pattern recognition receptor AGER, rather than TLR4. In vivo studies employing endotoxemia and polymicrobial sepsis mouse models reveal that a monoclonal neutralizing antibody targeting NCOA4 or AGER delays animal death, protects against organ damage, and attenuates systemic inflammation. Furthermore, elevated plasma NCOA4 levels in septic patients, particularly in non-survivors, correlate positively with the sequential organ failure assessment score and concentrations of lactate and proinflammatory mediators, such as TNF, IL1B, IL6, and HMGB1. These findings demonstrate a previously unrecognized role of extracellular NCOA4 in inflammation, suggesting it as a potential therapeutic target for severe infectious diseases.

Abstract
Autoimmune diseases commonly affect various systems, but their etiology and pathogenesis remain unclear. Currently, increasing research has highlighted the role of ferroptosis in immune regulation, with immune cells being a crucial component of the body's immune system. This review provides an overview and discusses the relationship between ferroptosis, programmed cell death in immune cells, and autoimmune diseases. Additionally, it summarizes the role of various key targets of ferroptosis, such as GPX4 and TFR, in immune cell immune responses. Furthermore, the release of multiple molecules, including damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), following cell death by ferroptosis, is examined, as these molecules further influence the differentiation and function of immune cells, thereby affecting the occurrence and progression of autoimmune diseases. Moreover, immune cells secrete immune factors or their metabolites, which also impact the occurrence of ferroptosis in target organs and tissues involved in autoimmune diseases. Iron chelators, chloroquine and its derivatives, antioxidants, chloroquine derivatives, and calreticulin have been demonstrated to be effective in animal studies for certain autoimmune diseases, exerting anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects. Finally, a brief summary and future perspectives on the research of autoimmune diseases are provided, aiming to guide disease treatment strategies.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a form of non-apoptotic regulated cell death (RCD) that depends on iron and is characterized by the accumulation of lipid peroxides to lethal levels. Ferroptosis involves multiple pathways including redox balance, iron regulation, mitochondrial function, and amino acid, lipid, and glycometabolism. Furthermore, various disease-related signaling pathways also play a role in regulating the process of iron oxidation. In recent years, with the emergence of the concept of ferroptosis and the in-depth study of its mechanisms, ferroptosis is closely associated with various biological conditions related to kidney diseases, including kidney organ development, aging, immunity, and cancer. This article reviews the development of the concept of ferroptosis, the mechanisms of ferroptosis (including GSH-GPX4, FSP1-CoQ1, DHODH-CoQ10, GCH1-BH4, and MBOAT1/2 pathways), and the latest research progress on its involvement in kidney diseases. It summarizes research on ferroptosis in kidney diseases within the frameworks of metabolism, reactive oxygen biology, and iron biology. The article introduces key regulatory factors and mechanisms of ferroptosis in kidney diseases, as well as important concepts and major open questions in ferroptosis and related natural compounds. It is hoped that in future research, further breakthroughs can be made in understanding the regulation mechanism of ferroptosis and utilizing ferroptosis to promote treatments for kidney diseases, such as acute kidney injury(AKI), chronic kidney disease (CKD), diabetic nephropathy(DN), and renal cell carcinoma. This paves the way for a new approach to research, prevent, and treat clinical kidney diseases.

Abstract
Regulated cell death (RCD) is a controlled form of cell death orchestrated by one or more cascading signaling pathways, making it amenable to pharmacological intervention. RCD subroutines can be categorized as apoptotic or non-apoptotic and play essential roles in maintaining homeostasis, facilitating development, and modulating immunity. Accumulating evidence has recently revealed that RCD evasion is frequently the primary cause of tumor survival. Several non-apoptotic RCD subroutines have garnered attention as promising cancer therapies due to their ability to induce tumor regression and prevent relapse, comparable to apoptosis. Moreover, they offer potential solutions for overcoming the acquired resistance of tumors toward apoptotic drugs. With an increasing understanding of the underlying mechanisms governing these non-apoptotic RCD subroutines, a growing number of small-molecule compounds targeting single or multiple pathways have been discovered, providing novel strategies for current cancer therapy. In this review, we comprehensively summarized the current regulatory mechanisms of the emerging non-apoptotic RCD subroutines, mainly including autophagy-dependent cell death, ferroptosis, cuproptosis, disulfidptosis, necroptosis, pyroptosis, alkaliptosis, oxeiptosis, parthanatos, mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT)-driven necrosis, entotic cell death, NETotic cell death, lysosome-dependent cell death, and immunogenic cell death (ICD). Furthermore, we focused on discussing the pharmacological regulatory mechanisms of related small-molecule compounds. In brief, these insightful findings may provide valuable guidance for investigating individual or collaborative targeting approaches towards different RCD subroutines, ultimately driving the discovery of novel small-molecule compounds that target RCD and significantly enhance future cancer therapeutics.

Abstract
Background Sepsis is a life-threatening condition marked by a severe systemic response to infection, leading to widespread inflammation, cellular signaling disruption, and metabolic dysregulation. The role of lipid and amino acid metabolism in sepsis is not fully understood, but aberrations in this pathway could contribute to the disease's pathophysiology. Methods To explore the potential of lipid and amino acid compounds as biomarkers for the diagnosis and prognosis of sepsis, a two-sample Mendelian Randomization (MR) study was conducted, examining the relationship between sepsis and 249 serum lipid and amino acid-related markers. Key enzymes involved in synthesis of phosphatidylcholine, including choline/ethanolamine phosphotransferase 1 (CEPT1), choline phosphotransferase 1 (CPT1), and ethanolamine phosphotransferase 1 (EPT1), were also targeted for drug-target Mendelian randomization. Results The study found that phosphatidylcholines (OR IVW: 0.88, 95%CI: 0.80-0.96, p = 0.005) and phospholipids in medium HDL (OR IVW: 0.86, 95%CI: 0.77-0.96, p = 0.007) potentially exhibit a protective effect against sepsis nominally. However, the potential drug target of CEPT1, CPT1, and EPT1 was found to be unrelated to septic outcomes. Conclusion Our findings suggest that increasing levels of phosphatidylcholines and medium HDL phospholipids may reduce the incidence of sepsis. This highlights the potential of lipid-based biomarkers in the diagnosis and management of sepsis, opening avenues for new therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Sepsis is a life-threatening multi-organ dysfunction syndrome caused by an abnormal host response to infection. Regulated cell death is essential for maintaining tissue homeostasis and eliminating damaged, infected, or aging cells in multicellular organisms. Gasdermin D, as a member of the gasdermin family, plays a crucial role in the formation of cytoplasmic membrane pores. Research has found that GSDMD plays important roles in various forms of regulated cell death such as pyroptosis, NETosis, and necroptosis. Therefore, through mediating regulated cell death, GSDMD regulates different stages of disease pathophysiology. This article mainly summarizes the concept of GSDMD, its role in regulated cell death, its involvement in organ damage associated with sepsis-related injuries mediated by regulated cell death via GSDMD activation and introduces potential drugs targeting GSDMD that may provide more effective treatment options for sepsis patients through drug modification.

Multiple cell death pathways are involved in neuronal death in ischemic stroke (IS). However, the role of different cell death pathways in different cell types has not been elucidated. By analyzing three single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) data of IS, we first found that a variety of programmed cell death (PCD) -related genes were significantly changed in different cell types. Based on machine learning and virtual gene knockout, we found that ferroptosis related genes, ferritin heavy chain 1 (Fth1) and ferritin light chain (Ftl1), play a key role in IS. Ftl1 and Fth1 can promote microglia activation, as well as the production of inflammatory factors and chemokines. Cell communication analysis showed that activated microglia could enhance chemotactic peripheral leukocyte infiltration, such as macrophages and neutrophils, through Spp1-Cd44 and App-Cd74 signaling, thereby aggravating brain tissue damage. Furthermore, real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) showed that P2ry12 and Mef2c were significantly decreased in oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) group, while Ftl1, Fth1, Apoe, Ctsb, Cd44 and Cd74 were significantly increased in OGD group. Collectively, our findings suggested targeted therapy against microglia Ftl1 and Fth1 might improve the state of microglia, reduce the infiltration of peripheral immune cells and tissue inflammation, and then improve the ischemic brain injury in mouse.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a form of iron-related oxidative cell death governed by an integrated redox system, encompassing pro-oxidative proteins and antioxidative proteins. These proteins undergo precise control through diverse post-translational modifications, including ubiquitination, phosphorylation, acetylation, O-GlcNAcylation, SUMOylation, methylation, N-myristoylation, palmitoylation, and oxidative modification. These modifications play pivotal roles in regulating protein stability, activity, localization, and interactions, ultimately influencing both the buildup of iron and lipid peroxidation. In mammalian cells, regulators of ferroptosis typically undergo degradation via two principal pathways: the ubiquitin-proteasome system, which handles the majority of protein degradation, and autophagy, primarily targeting long-lived or aggregated proteins. This comprehensive review aims to summarize recent advances in the post-translational modification and degradation of proteins linked to ferroptosis. It also discusses strategies for modulating ferroptosis through protein modification and degradation systems, providing new insights into potential therapeutic applications for both cancer and non-neoplastic diseases.

Abstract
Trained immunity is classically characterized by long-term functional reprogramming of innate immune cells to combat infectious diseases. Infection-induced organ injury is a common clinical severity phenotype of sepsis. However, whether the induction of trained immunity plays a role in protecting septic organ injury remains largely unknown. Here, through establishing an in vivo β-glucan training and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge model in zebrafish larvae, we observe that induction of trained immunity could inhibit pyroptosis of hepatocytes to alleviate septic liver injury, with an elevated trimethyl-histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4me3) modification that targets mitophagy-related genes. Moreover, we identify a C-type lectin domain receptor in zebrafish, named DrDectin-1, which is revealed as the orchestrator in gating H3K4me3 rewiring-mediated mitophagy activation and alleviating pyroptosis-engaged septic liver injury in vivo. Taken together, our results uncover tissue-resident trained immunity in maintaining liver homeostasis at the whole-animal level and offer an in vivo model to efficiently integrate trained immunity for immunotherapies.

Abstract
Ferroptosis, an iron-dependent form of cell death characterized by uncontrolled lipid peroxidation, is governed by molecular networks involving diverse molecules and organelles. Since its recognition as a non-apoptotic cell death pathway in 2012, ferroptosis has emerged as a crucial mechanism in numerous physiological and pathological contexts, leading to significant therapeutic advancements across a wide range of diseases. This review summarizes the fundamental molecular mechanisms and regulatory pathways underlying ferroptosis, including both GPX4-dependent and -independent antioxidant mechanisms. Additionally, we examine the involvement of ferroptosis in various pathological conditions, including cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, sepsis, ischemia-reperfusion injury, autoimmune disorders, and metabolic disorders. Specifically, we explore the role of ferroptosis in response to chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, nanotherapy, and targeted therapy. Furthermore, we discuss pharmacological strategies for modulating ferroptosis and potential biomarkers for monitoring this process. Lastly, we elucidate the interplay between ferroptosis and other forms of regulated cell death. Such insights hold promise for advancing our understanding of ferroptosis in the context of human health and disease.

Abstract
Ferroptosis hallmarked by lipid peroxidation and iron homeostasis imbalance is involved in the occurrence and development of various diseases. The plant growth regulator chlormequat chloride (CCC) can contribute to the causality and exacerbation of reproductive disorders. However, the mechanism by which CCC may cause Leydig cell attenuation remains poorly understood. In this study, TM3 Leydig cells were used to investigate the inhibitory effect of CCC on cell growth and its possible mechanism. The results showed that CCC caused apoptosis, pyroptosis, ferroptosis and necroinflammation in TM3 cells. By comparing the effects of ferroptosis inhibitor Ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1) and pan-Caspase inhibitor Z-VAD-FMK (ZVF) on lipid peroxidation and Caspase-mediated regulated cell death (RCD), we found that Fer-1 was better at rescuing the growth of TM3 cells than ZVF. Although ZVF reduced mitochondrial ROS level and inhibited the activation of Caspase3 and Caspase1, it could not significantly ameliorate lipid peroxidation and the levels of IL-1β and HMGB1 like Fer-1. Therefore, ferroptosis might be a key non apoptotic RCD mode responsible for CCC-driven inflammation, leading to weakened viability and proliferation of TM3 cells. In addition, overexpression of ferritin light chain (FTL) promoted the resistance of TM3 cells to CCC-induced ferroptosis-mediated inflammation and to some extent improved the inhibition of viability and proliferation. Altogether, ferroptosis-initiated inflammation might play a key role in CCC-impaired TM3 cell growth.

Abstract
Gasdermin (GSDM) proteins, as the direct executors of pyroptosis, are structurally and functionally conserved among vertebrates and play crucial roles in host defense against infection, inflammation, and cancer. However, the origin of functional GSDMs remains elusive in the animal kingdom. Here, we found that functional GSDME homologs first appeared in the cnidarian. Moreover, these animal GSDME homologs share evolutionarily conserved apoptotic caspase cleavage sites. Thus, we verified the functional conservation of apoptotic caspase-GSDME cascade in Hydra, a representative species of cnidarian. Unlike vertebrate GSDME homologs, HyGSDME could be cleaved by four Hydra caspase homologs with caspase-3 activity at two sites. Furthermore, in vivo activation of Hydra caspases resulted in HyGSDME cleavage to induce pyroptosis, exacerbating injury and restricting bacterial burden, which protects Hydra from pathogen invasion. In conclusion, these results suggest that GSDME-dependent pyroptosis may be an ancient and conserved host defense mechanism, which may contribute to better understanding on the origin and evolution of GSDMs.

Abstract
Sepsis-induced acute kidney injury (S-AKI) is the most common type of acute kidney injury (AKI), accompanied by elevated morbidity and mortality rates. This study investigated the mechanism by which lipid droplets (LDs) degraded via autophagy (lipophagy)required for RAB7 regulated ferroptosis in the pathogenesis of S-AKI. Here, we constructed the S-AKI model in vitro and in vivo to elucidate the potential relationship of lipophagy and ferroptosis, and we first confirmed that the activation of lipophagy promoted renal tubular epithelial cell ferroptosis and renal damage in S-AKI. The results showed that lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced a marked increase in lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis, which were rescued by ferrstain-1 (Fer-1), an inhibitor of ferroptosis. In addition, LPS induced the remarkable activation of RAB7-mediated lipophagy. Importantly, silencing RAB7 alleviated LPS-induced lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis. Thus, the present study demonstrated the potential significant role of ferroptosis and lipophagy in sepsis-induced AKI, and contributed to better understanding of the pathogenesis and treatment targets of AKI.

Abstract
Macroautophagy/autophagy is a complex degradation process with a dual role in cell death that is influenced by the cell types that are involved and the stressors they are exposed to. Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent oxidative form of cell death characterized by unrestricted lipid peroxidation in the context of heterogeneous and plastic mechanisms. Recent studies have shed light on the involvement of specific types of autophagy (e.g. ferritinophagy, lipophagy, and clockophagy) in initiating or executing ferroptotic cell death through the selective degradation of anti-injury proteins or organelles. Conversely, other forms of selective autophagy (e.g. reticulophagy and lysophagy) enhance the cellular defense against ferroptotic damage. Dysregulated autophagy-dependent ferroptosis has implications for a diverse range of pathological conditions. This review aims to present an updated definition of autophagy-dependent ferroptosis, discuss influential substrates and receptors, outline experimental methods, and propose guidelines for interpreting the results.Abbreviation: 3-MA:3-methyladenine; 4HNE: 4-hydroxynonenal; ACD: accidentalcell death; ADF: autophagy-dependentferroptosis; ARE: antioxidant response element; BH2:dihydrobiopterin; BH4: tetrahydrobiopterin; BMDMs: bonemarrow-derived macrophages; CMA: chaperone-mediated autophagy; CQ:chloroquine; DAMPs: danger/damage-associated molecular patterns; EMT,epithelial-mesenchymal transition; EPR: electronparamagnetic resonance; ER, endoplasmic reticulum; FRET: Försterresonance energy transfer; GFP: green fluorescent protein;GSH: glutathione;IF: immunofluorescence; IHC: immunohistochemistry; IOP, intraocularpressure; IRI: ischemia-reperfusion injury; LAA: linoleamide alkyne;MDA: malondialdehyde; PGSK: Phen Green™ SK;RCD: regulatedcell death; PUFAs: polyunsaturated fatty acids; RFP: red fluorescentprotein;ROS: reactive oxygen species; TBA: thiobarbituricacid; TBARS: thiobarbituric acid reactive substances; TEM:transmission electron microscopy.

Polyunsaturated fatty acid-derived lipid mediator Resolvin D1 alleviates sepsis-induced disseminated intravascular coagulation via Caspase-1/Gasdermin D pyroptotic pathway. Clin Nutr 2024; 43:1372-1383. [PMID: 38678822 DOI: 10.1016/j.clnu.2024.04.020] [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: 03/07/2024] [Revised: 04/15/2024] [Accepted: 04/17/2024] [Indexed: 05/01/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Sepsis-induced disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is characterised by abnormal blood clotting resulting from severe infection, contributing to organ dysfunction in sepsis. Resolvin D1 (RvD1) is an endogenous lipid mediator, synthesised from the omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) through enzymatic processes involving 15-LOX and 5-LOX. RvD1 is recognised for its protective properties against various inflammatory conditions. This study aims to investigate its potential to modulate coagulation dysfunction in sepsis and to evaluate coagulation disorders in septic patients. METHODS Sepsis models were established by intraperitoneal injection LPS (20 mg/kg) or cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) followed by injection of RvD1 (10 μg/kg) or saline. The impact of RvD1 on coagulation dysfunction was assessed by clotting time and coagulation indicators such as TAT, D-dimer, PAI-1, and fibrinogen. The activity of the coagulation system in vivo was observed by evaluating dynamic microcirculation, platelets and thrombin in mice using intravital microscopy. The effect of RvD1 on pyroptosis was investigated by measuring NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3), Caspase-1, Caspase-11, and Gasdermin D (GSDMD) levels via western blot. Caspase-1 knockout mice, GSDMD knockout mice and bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) were used to elucidate the underlying mechanisms. Lastly, the concentration of RvD1 in plasma from septic patients was quantified to explore its relationship with coagulation and pyroptosis. RESULTS RvD1 significantly attenuated coagulation dysfunction in septic mice induced by LPS and CLP, and inhibited Caspase-1/GSDMD-dependent pyroptosis in septic mice and bone marrow-derived macrophages. In septic patients, the plasma concentrations of RvD1 was negatively correlated with both coagulation-related indicators and markers of GSDMD activation. CONCLUSION The results suggest that RvD1 can improve coagulation dysfunction in sepsis by regulating the Caspase-1/GSDMD pyroptotic pathway. Additionally, the concentration of RvD1 in septic patient plasma is related to prognosis and DIC development. RvD1 could be a potential biomarker and a promising therapeutic alternative in sepsis-induced DIC.

Americanin B inhibits pyroptosis in lipopolysaccharide-induced septic encephalopathy mice through targeting NLRP3 protein. PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 128:155520. [PMID: 38489892 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2024.155520] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2023] [Revised: 02/16/2024] [Accepted: 03/07/2024] [Indexed: 03/17/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Sepsis is considered as a severe illness due to its high mortality. Sepsis can cause septic encephalopathy, thus leading to brain injury, behavioral and cognitive dysfunction. Pyroptosis is a type of regulated cell death (RCD) and takes a crucial part in occurrence and development of sepsis. Americanin B (AMEB) is a lignan compounds, which is extracted from Vernicia fordii. In our previous study, AMEB could inhibit microglial activation in inflammatory cell model. However, the function of AMEB in septic encephalopathy mice is uncertain. It would be worthwhile to ascertain the role and mechanism of AMEB in sepsis. PURPOSE Current study designs to certify the relationship between pyroptosis and septic encephalopathy, and investigate whether AMEB can restrain NOD-like receptor pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activation and restrict pyroptosis by targeting NLRP3 in septic mice model. STUDY DESIGN C57BL/6 mice were utilized to perform sepsis model in vivo experiments. BV-2 cell lines were used for in vitro experiments. METHODS In vivo sepsis model was established by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) intraperitoneal injection in male C57BL/6 J mice and in vitro model was exposed by LPS plus ATP in BV-2 cells. The survival rate was monitored on the corresponding days. NLRP3, apoptosis associated Speck-like protein (ASC), caspase-1, GasderminD (GSDMD), interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and interleukin-18 (IL-18) level were detected by western blotting and immunofluorescence analysis. Molecular docking, cellular thermal shift assay (CETSA), drug affinity responsive target stability (DARTS) experiments, RNAi transfection and quantitative real-time PCR were applied to confirm the potential target of AMEB. RESULTS The results suggested that AMEB could rise survival percentage and lighten brain injury in LPS-induced sepsis mice. In addition, AMEB could inhibit pyroptosis and the activiation of NLRP3 inflammasome. The inhibiting function of AMEB on the activiation of NLRP3 inflammasome is weakened following si-NLRP3 transfection. Moreover, AMEB exerted anti-pyroptosis effect via targeting NLRP3 protein. CONCLUSIONS Our findings first indicate NLRP3 is an effective druggable target for septic encephalopathy related brain injury, and also provide a candidate-AMEB for the treatment of septic encephalopathy. These emerging findings on AMEB in models of sepsis suggest an innovative approach that may be beneficial in the prevention of septic encephalopathy.

Abstract
Sepsis is defined as life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection. Studies have indicated that immune dysfunction plays a central role in the pathogenesis of sepsis. Dendritic cells (DCs) play a crucial role in the emergence of immune dysfunction in sepsis. The major manifestations of DCs in the septic state are abnormal functions and depletion in numbers, which are linked to higher mortality and vulnerability to secondary infections in sepsis. Apoptosis is the most widely studied pathway of number reduction in DCs. In the past few years, there has been a surge in studies focusing on regulated cell death (RCD). This emerging field encompasses various forms of cell death, such as necroptosis, pyroptosis, ferroptosis, and autophagy-dependent cell death (ADCD). Regulation of DC's RCD can serve as a possible therapeutic focus for the treatment of sepsis. Throughout time, numerous tactics have been devised and effectively implemented to improve abnormal immune response during sepsis progression, including modifying the functions of DCs and inhibiting DC cell death. In this review, we provide an overview of the functional impairment and RCD of DCs in septic states. Also, we highlight recent advances in targeting DCs to regulate host immune response following septic challenge.

Abstract
Ischemic stroke is the primary reason for human disability and death, but the available treatment options are limited. Hence, it is imperative to explore novel and efficient therapies. In recent years, pyroptosis (a pro-inflammatory cell death characterized by inflammation) has emerged as an important pathological mechanism in ischemic stroke that can cause cell death through plasma membrane rupture and release of inflammatory cytokines. Pyroptosis is closely associated with inflammation, which exacerbates the inflammatory response in ischemic stroke. The level of inflammasomes, GSDMD, Caspases, and inflammatory factors is increased after ischemic stroke, exacerbating brain injury by mediating pyroptosis. Hence, inhibition of pyroptosis can be a therapeutic strategy for ischemic stroke. In this review, we have summarized the relationship between pyroptosis and ischemic stroke, as well as a series of treatments to attenuate pyroptosis, intending to provide insights for new therapeutic targets on ischemic stroke.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a pervasive non-apoptotic form of cell death highly relevant in various degenerative diseases and malignancies. The hallmark of ferroptosis is uncontrolled and overwhelming peroxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids contained in membrane phospholipids, which eventually leads to rupture of the plasma membrane. Ferroptosis is unique in that it is essentially a spontaneous, uncatalyzed chemical process based on perturbed iron and redox homeostasis contributing to the cell death process, but that it is nonetheless modulated by many metabolic nodes that impinge on the cells' susceptibility to ferroptosis. Among the various nodes affecting ferroptosis sensitivity, several have emerged as promising candidates for pharmacological intervention, rendering ferroptosis-related proteins attractive targets for the treatment of numerous currently incurable diseases. Herein, the current members of a Germany-wide research consortium focusing on ferroptosis research, as well as key external experts in ferroptosis who have made seminal contributions to this rapidly growing and exciting field of research, have gathered to provide a comprehensive, state-of-the-art review on ferroptosis. Specific topics include: basic mechanisms, in vivo relevance, specialized methodologies, chemical and pharmacological tools, and the potential contribution of ferroptosis to disease etiopathology and progression. We hope that this article will not only provide established scientists and newcomers to the field with an overview of the multiple facets of ferroptosis, but also encourage additional efforts to characterize further molecular pathways modulating ferroptosis, with the ultimate goal to develop novel pharmacotherapies to tackle the various diseases associated with - or caused by - ferroptosis.

Abstract
As a key executioner of pyroptosis, Gasdermin D (GSDMD) plays a crucial role in host defense and emerges as an essential therapeutic target in the treatment of inflammatory diseases. So far, the understanding of the mechanisms that regulate the protein level of GSDMD to prevent detrimental effects and maintain homeostasis is currently limited. Here, we unveil that ubiquitin-specific peptidase 18 (USP18) works as a negative regulator of pyroptosis by targeting GSDMD for degradation and preventing excessive innate immune responses. Mechanically, USP18 recruits E3 ubiquitin ligase mind bomb homolog 2 (MIB2) to catalyze ubiquitination on GSDMD at lysine (K) 168, which acts as a recognition signal for the selective autophagic degradation of GSDMD. We further confirm the alleviating effect of USP18 on LPS-triggered inflammation in vivo. Collectively, our study demonstrates the role of USP18 in regulating GSDMD-mediated pyroptosis and reveals a previously unknown mechanism by which GSDMD protein level is rigorously controlled by selective autophagy.

Abstract
Liver and lung tissue damage caused by sepsis is still one of the causes of death. B-lymphocyte-induced maturation protein-1 (Blimp-1) has a protective role in inflammation-related disease. However, whether Blimp-1 can regulate cell pyroptosis and affect disease progression in sepsis is still unclear. Animal and cell models were established by the cecal ligation and puncture method and lipopolysaccharides (LPS)-induced RAW 264.7 cells, respectively, and the role of Blimp-1 in regulation inflammatory response and pyroptosis was verified. The changes of inflammation and pyroptosis in liver and lung tissues of septic mice were determined by the addition of TAK-242 (TLR4 inhibitor). Cell pyroptosis and the level of inflammation was detected after Blimp-1 knockdown and TAK-242 treatment in the cell model. The expression of Blimp-1 was continuously increased in a septic mice model. After treatment with TAK-242, the expression of Blimp-1, pyroptosis and inflammatory levels were reduced in mice. In the LPS-induced cell model, cell injury by knockout Blimp-1 was increased, and cell activity was restored after TAK-242 intervention. Overexpression of Blimp-1 relieved LPS-induced cellular inflammatory damage and pyroptosis. Our study had shown that Blimp-1 could improve septic damage by regulating the level of cellular inflammation and pyroptosis in sepsis.

Abstract
The emergence of combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) has greatly transformed the life expectancy of people living with HIV (PWH). Today, over 76% of the individuals with HIV have access to this life-saving therapy. However, this progress has come with a new challenge: an increase in age-related non-AIDS conditions among patients with HIV. These conditions manifest earlier in PWH than in uninfected individuals, accelerating the aging process. Like PWH, the uninfected aging population experiences immunosenescence marked by an increased proinflammatory environment. This phenomenon is linked to chronic inflammation, driven in part by cellular structures called inflammasomes. Inflammatory signaling pathways activated by HIV-1 infection play a key role in inflammasome formation, suggesting a crucial link between HIV and a chronic inflammatory state. This review outlines the inflammatory processes triggered by HIV-1 infection and aging, with a focus on the inflammasomes. This review also explores current research regarding inflammasomes and potential strategies for targeting inflammasomes to mitigate inflammation. Further research on inflammasome signaling presents a unique opportunity to develop targeted interventions and innovative therapeutic modalities for combating HIV and aging-associated inflammatory processes.

Abstract
Aims: Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is closely related to low back pain, which is a prevalent age-related problem worldwide; however, the mechanism underlying IDD is unknown. Glutamine, a free amino acid prevalent in plasma, is recognized for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties in various diseases, and the current study aims to clarify the effect and mechanism of glutamine in IDD. Results: A synergistic interplay was observed between pyroptosis and ferroptosis within degenerated human disc specimens. Glutamine significantly mitigated IDD in both ex vivo and in vivo experimental models. Moreover, glutamine protected nucleus pulposus (NP) cells after tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP)-induced pyroptosis, ferroptosis, and extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation in vitro. Glutamine protected NP cells from TBHP-induced ferroptosis by promoting the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) accumulation by inhibiting its ubiquitin-proteasome degradation and inhibiting lipid oxidation. Innovation and Conclusions: A direct correlation is evident in the progression of IDD between the processes of pyroptosis and ferroptosis. Glutamine suppressed oxidative stress-induced cellular processes, including pyroptosis, ferroptosis, and ECM degradation through deubiquitinating Nrf2 and inhibiting lipid oxidation in NP cells. Glutamine is a promising novel therapeutic target for the management of IDD.

Abstract
The gasdermin (GSDM) family has garnered significant attention for its pivotal role in immunity and disease as a key player in pyroptosis. This recently characterized class of pore-forming effector proteins is pivotal in orchestrating processes such as membrane permeabilization, pyroptosis, and the follow-up inflammatory response, which are crucial self-defense mechanisms against irritants and infections. GSDMs have been implicated in a range of diseases including, but not limited to, sepsis, viral infections, and cancer, either through involvement in pyroptosis or independently of this process. The regulation of GSDM-mediated pyroptosis is gaining recognition as a promising therapeutic strategy for the treatment of various diseases. Current strategies for inhibiting GSDMD primarily involve binding to GSDMD, blocking GSDMD cleavage or inhibiting GSDMD-N-terminal (NT) oligomerization, albeit with some off-target effects. In this review, we delve into the cutting-edge understanding of the interplay between GSDMs and pyroptosis, elucidate the activation mechanisms of GSDMs, explore their associations with a range of diseases, and discuss recent advancements and potential strategies for developing GSDMD inhibitors.

Abstract
Cell death is an essential cellular mechanism that ensures quality control and whole-body homeostasis. Various modes of cell death have been studied and detailed. Unbalanced cell death can lead to uncontrolled cell proliferation (i.e., tumors) or excessive loss of cells (i.e., ischemia injury tissue loss). Thus, it is imperative for modes of cell death to be balanced and controlled. Here, we will focus on a recent mode of cell death called pyroptosis. While extensive studies have shown the role of this route of cell death in macrophages and monocytes, evidence for pyroptosis have expanded to encompass other pathologies, including cancer and cardiac diseases. Herein, we provide a brief review on pyroptosis and discuss current gaps in knowledge and scientific advances in cardiac pyroptosis in recent years. Lastly, we provide conclusions and prospective on the relevance to various cardiac diseases.

Abstract
It is generally recognized that tumor cells proliferate more rapidly than normal cells. Due to such an abnormally rapid proliferation rate, cancer cells constantly encounter the limits of insufficient oxygen and nutrient supplies. To satisfy their growth needs and resist adverse environmental events, tumor cells modify the metabolic pathways to produce both extra energies and substances required for rapid growth. Realizing the metabolic characters special for tumor cells will be helpful for eliminating them during therapy. Cell death is a hot topic of long-term study and targeting cell death is one of the most effective ways to repress tumor growth. Many studies have successfully demonstrated that metabolism is inextricably linked to cell death of cancer cells. Here we summarize the recently identified metabolic characters that specifically impact on different types of cell deaths and discuss their roles in tumorigenesis.

Abstract
Ferroptosis, a type of cell death involving iron and lipid peroxidation, has been found to be closely associated with the development of many diseases. Mitochondria are vital components of eukaryotic cells, serving important functions in energy production, cellular metabolism, and apoptosis regulation. Presently, the precise relationship between mitochondria and ferroptosis remains unclear. In this study, we aim to systematically elucidate the mechanisms via which mitochondria regulate ferroptosis from multiple perspectives to provide novel insights into mitochondrial functions in ferroptosis. Additionally, we present a comprehensive overview of how mitochondria contribute to ferroptosis in different conditions, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, inflammatory disease, mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome, and novel coronavirus pneumonia. Gaining a comprehensive understanding of the involvement of mitochondria in ferroptosis could lead to more effective approaches for both basic cell biology studies and medical treatments.

Abstract
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a key component of the outer membrane in Gram-negative bacteria (GNB), is widely recognized for its crucial role in mammalian innate immunity and its link to mortality in intensive care units. While its recognition via the Toll-like receptor (TLR)-4 receptor on cell membranes is well established, the activation of the cytosolic receptor caspase-11 by LPS is now known to lead to inflammasome activation and subsequent induction of pyroptosis. Nevertheless, a fundamental question persists regarding the mechanism by which LPS enters host cells. Recent investigations have identified at least four primary pathways that can facilitate this process: bacterial outer membrane vesicles (OMVs); the spike (S) protein of SARS-CoV-2; host-secreted proteins; and host extracellular vesicles (EVs). These delivery systems provide new avenues for therapeutic interventions against sepsis and infectious diseases.

Abstract
Incidence and mortality of prostate cancer (PCa) rank in the top five among male tumors. However, single treatment modalities are often restricted due to biochemical recurrence and drug resistance, necessitating the development of new approaches for the combination treatment of castration-resistant and neuroendocrine PCa. Ferroptosis is characterized by the accumulation of iron-overload-mediated lipid peroxidation and has shown promising outcomes in anticancer treatment, prompting us to present a review reporting the application of ferroptosis in the treatment of PCa. First, the process and mechanism of ferroptosis are briefly reviewed. Second, research advances combining ferroptosis-inducing agents and clinical treatment regimens, which exhibit a "two-pronged approach" effect, are further summarized. Finally, the recent progress on ferroptosis-inducing nanomaterials for combination anticancer therapy is presented. This review is expected to provide novel insights into ferroptosis-based combination treatment in drug-resistant PCa.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a public health problem that seriously threatens human health. This study aimed to investigate the clinical significance of glutathione peroxidase 4(GPX4) in the occurrence and development of chronic hepatitis B (CHB). METHODS A total of 169 participants including 137 patients with CHB and 32 healthy controls (HCs) were recruited. We detected the expression of GPX4 and stimulator of interferon genes (STING) in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). The methylation level of GPX4 gene promoter in PBMCs was detected by TaqMan probe-based quantitative methylation-specific PCR (MethyLight). Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was performed to detect the serum levels of GPX4, IFN-β, oxidative stress (OS) related molecules, and pro-inflammatory cytokines. RESULTS The expression levels of GPX4 in PBMCs and serum of CHB patients were lower than those of HCs, but the methylation levels of GPX4 promoter were higher than those of HCs, especially in patients at the immune tolerance phase. STING mRNA expression levels in PBMCs and serum IFN-β levels of patients at the immune activation phase and reactivation phase of CHB were higher than those at other clinical phases of CHB and HCs. GPX4 mRNA expression level and methylation level in PBMCs from patients with CHB had a certain correlation with STING and IFN-β expression levels. In addition, the methylation level of the GPX4 promoter in PBMCs from patients with CHB was correlated with molecules associated with OS and inflammation. CONCLUSIONS GPX4 may play an important role in the pathogenesis and immune tolerance of CHB, which may provide new ideas for the functional cure of CHB.

World J Gastroenterol 2024; 30:1588-1608. [PMID: 38617450 PMCID: PMC11008418 DOI: 10.3748/wjg.v30.i11.1588] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2023] [Revised: 12/20/2023] [Accepted: 02/18/2024] [Indexed: 03/21/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute liver failure (ALF) has a high mortality with widespread hepatocyte death involving ferroptosis and pyroptosis. The silent information regulator sirtuin 1 (SIRT1)-mediated deacetylation affects multiple biological processes, including cellular senescence, apoptosis, sugar and lipid metabolism, oxidative stress, and inflammation. AIM To investigate the association between ferroptosis and pyroptosis and the upstream regulatory mechanisms. METHODS This study included 30 patients with ALF and 30 healthy individuals who underwent serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) testing. C57BL/6 mice were also intraperitoneally pretreated with SIRT1, p53, or glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) inducers and inhibitors and injected with lipopolysaccharide (LPS)/D-galactosamine (D-GalN) to induce ALF. Gasdermin D (GSDMD)-/- mice were used as an experimental group. Histological changes in liver tissue were monitored by hematoxylin and eosin staining. ALT, AST, glutathione, reactive oxygen species, and iron levels were measured using commercial kits. Ferroptosis- and pyroptosis-related protein and mRNA expression was detected by western blot and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. SIRT1, p53, and GSDMD were assessed by immunofluorescence analysis. RESULTS Serum AST and ALT levels were elevated in patients with ALF. SIRT1, solute carrier family 7a member 11 (SLC7A11), and GPX4 protein expression was decreased and acetylated p5, p53, GSDMD, and acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4 (ACSL4) protein levels were elevated in human ALF liver tissue. In the p53 and ferroptosis inhibitor-treated and GSDMD-/- groups, serum interleukin (IL)-1β, tumour necrosis factor alpha, IL-6, IL-2 and C-C motif ligand 2 levels were decreased and hepatic impairment was mitigated. In mice with GSDMD knockout, p53 was reduced, GPX4 was increased, and ferroptotic events (depletion of SLC7A11, elevation of ACSL4, and iron accumulation) were detected. In vitro, knockdown of p53 and overexpression of GPX4 reduced AST and ALT levels, the cytostatic rate, and GSDMD expression, restoring SLC7A11 depletion. Moreover, SIRT1 agonist and overexpression of SIRT1 alleviated acute liver injury and decreased iron deposition compared with results in the model group, accompanied by reduced p53, GSDMD, and ACSL4, and increased SLC7A11 and GPX4. Inactivation of SIRT1 exacerbated ferroptotic and pyroptotic cell death and aggravated liver injury in LPS/D-GalN-induced in vitro and in vivo models. CONCLUSION SIRT1 activation attenuates LPS/D-GalN-induced ferroptosis and pyroptosis by inhibiting the p53/GPX4/GSDMD signaling pathway in ALF.

Abstract
Macrophages are highly plastic cells ubiquitous in various tissues, where they perform diverse functions. They participate in the response to pathogen invasion and inflammation resolution following the immune response, as well as the maintenance of homeostasis and proper tissue functions. Macrophages are generally considered long-lived cells with relatively strong resistance to numerous cytotoxic factors. On the other hand, their death seems to be one of the principal mechanisms by which macrophages perform their physiological functions or can contribute to the development of certain diseases. In this review, we scrutinize three distinct pro-inflammatory programmed cell death pathways - pyroptosis, necroptosis, and ferroptosis - occurring in macrophages under specific circumstances, and explain how these cells appear to undergo dynamic yet not always final changes before ultimately dying. We achieve that by examining the interconnectivity of these cell death types, which in macrophages seem to create a coordinated and flexible system responding to the microenvironment. Finally, we discuss the complexity and consequences of pyroptotic, necroptotic, and ferroptotic pathway induction in macrophages under two pathological conditions - atherosclerosis and cancer. We summarize damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) along with other microenvironmental factors, macrophage polarization states, associated mechanisms as well as general outcomes, as such a comprehensive look at these correlations may point out the proper methodologies and potential therapeutic approaches.

Abstract
Ferroptosis, a regulated cell death hallmarked by excessive lipid peroxidation, is implicated in various (patho)physiological contexts. During ferroptosis, lipid peroxidation leads to a diverse change in membrane properties and the dysregulation of ion homeostasis via the cation channels, ultimately resulting in plasma membrane rupture. This review illuminates cellular membrane dynamics and cation handling in ferroptosis regulation.

Abstract
Ferroptosis, an intricately regulated form of cell death characterized by uncontrolled lipid peroxidation, has garnered substantial interest since this term was first coined in 2012. Recent years have witnessed remarkable progress in elucidating the detailed molecular mechanisms that govern ferroptosis induction and defence, with particular emphasis on the roles of heterogeneity and plasticity. In this Review, we discuss the molecular ecosystem of ferroptosis, with implications that may inform and enable safe and effective therapeutic strategies across a broad spectrum of diseases.

Abstract
Pyroptosis is a form of programmed cell death characterized by cell swelling, pore formation in the plasma membrane, lysis, and releases of cytoplasmic contents. To date, the molecular mechanism of human and murine Gasdermin D-mediated pyroptosis have been fully investigated. However, studies focusing on molecular mechanism of bovine Gasdermin D (bGSDMD)-mediated pyroptosis and its function against pathogenic infection were unclear. In the present study, we demonstrate that bovine caspase-1 (bCaspase-1) cleaves bGSDMD at amino acid residue D277 to produce an N-terminal fragment (bGSDMD-p30) which leads to pyroptosis. The amino acid residues T238 and F239 are critical for bGSDMD-p30-mediated pyroptosis. The loop aa 278-299, L293 and A380 are the key sites for autoinhibitory structure of the full length of bGSDMD. In addition, bCaspase-3 also cleaves bGSDMD at residue Asp86 without inducing cell death. Therefore, our study provides the first detailed elucidation of the mechanism of bovine GSDMD-mediated pyroptosis. The results will establish a significant foundation for future research on the role of pyroptosis in bovine infectious diseases.

Abstract
Elevated interleukin (IL)-1β levels, NLRP3 inflammasome activity, and systemic inflammation are hallmarks of chronic metabolic inflammatory syndromes, but the mechanistic basis for this is unclear. Here, we show that levels of plasma IL-1β are lower in fasting compared to fed subjects, while the lipid arachidonic acid (AA) is elevated. Lipid profiling of NLRP3-stimulated mouse macrophages shows enhanced AA production and an NLRP3-dependent eicosanoid signature. Inhibition of cyclooxygenase by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs decreases eicosanoid, but not AA, production. It also reduces both IL-1β and IL-18 production in response to NLRP3 activation. AA inhibits NLRP3 inflammasome activity in human and mouse macrophages. Mechanistically, AA inhibits phospholipase C activity to reduce JNK1 stimulation and hence NLRP3 activity. These data show that AA is an important physiological regulator of the NLRP3 inflammasome and explains why fasting reduces systemic inflammation and also suggests a mechanism to explain how nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs work.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a type of iron-dependent programmed cell death characterized by the dysregulation of iron metabolism and the accumulation of lipid peroxides. This nonapoptotic mode of cell death is implicated in various physiological and pathological processes. Recent findings have underscored its potential as an innovative strategy for cancer treatment, particularly against recalcitrant malignancies that are resistant to conventional therapies. This article focuses on ferroptosis-based therapeutic strategies for precision cancer treatment, covering the molecular mechanisms of ferroptosis, four major types of ferroptosis inducers and their inhibitory effects on diverse carcinomas, the detection of ferroptosis by fluorescent probes, and their implementation in image-guided therapy. These state-of-the-art tactics have manifested enhanced selectivity and efficacy against malignant carcinomas. Given that the administration of ferroptosis in cancer therapy is still at a burgeoning stage, some major challenges and future perspectives are discussed for the clinical translation of ferroptosis into precision cancer treatment.

Abstract
Epilepsy is sudden, recurrent, and transient central nervous system dysfunction caused by abnormal discharge of neurons in the brain. Ferroptosis and pyroptosis are newly discovered ways of programmed cell death. One of the characteristics of ferroptosis is the oxidative stress generated by lipid peroxides. Similarly, pyroptosis has unique pro-inflammatory properties. As both oxidative stress and neuroinflammation are significant contributors to the pathogenesis of epilepsy, increasing evidence shows that ferroptosis and pyroptosis are closely related to epilepsy. This article reviews the current comprehension of ferroptosis and pyroptosis and elucidates potential mechanisms by which ferroptosis and pyroptosis may contribute to epilepsy. In addition, we also highlight the possible interactions between ferroptosis and pyroptosis because they reportedly coexist in many diseases, and increasing studies have demonstrated the convergence of pathways between the two. This is of great significance for explaining the occurrence and development of epilepsy and provides a new therapeutic perspective for the treatment of epilepsy.

Abstract
Macrophage dysfunction is a significant contributor to more than 70 % of sepsis-related deaths, specifically secondary bacterial infections, during the immunosuppression stage of sepsis. Nevertheless, the role of Rab26 in this context remains unclear. In this study, we observed a substantial decrease in Rab26 expression in macrophages during the immunosuppressive phase of sepsis, which was also found to be suppressed by high extracellular levels of HMGB1. During the progression of sepsis, Rab26 deficiency promotes a polarization shift from the M1 to the M2-like phenotype in macrophages, rendering them susceptible to ferroptosis. Subsequent experimentation has revealed that Rab26 deficiency facilitates the degradation of GPX4, thereby aggravating macrophage ferroptosis through the upregulation of levels of lipid ROS, MDA, and ferrous iron induced by RSL3, a ferroptosis inducer. Additionally, Rab26-deficient mice in the immunosuppressed phase of sepsis exhibit heightened susceptibility to secondary infections, leading to exacerbated lung tissue damage and increased mortality rate. Overall, these findings indicate that Rab26 plays a crucial role in sepsis-induced macrophage immunosuppression by regulating macrophage ferroptosis and polarization. Hence, it represents a potential novel target for sepsis therapy.

Abstract
Allergic asthma development and pathogenesis are influenced by airway epithelial cells in response to allergens. Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), an inducible enzyme responsible for the breakdown of heme, has been considered an appealing target for the treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases. Herein, we report that alleviation of allergic airway inflammation by HO-1-mediated suppression of pyroptosis in airway epithelial cells (AECs). Using house dust mite (HDM)-induced asthma models of mice, we found increased gasdermin D (GSDMD) in the airway epithelium. In vivo administration of disulfiram, a specific inhibitor of pore formation by GSDMD, decreased thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) release, T helper type 2 immune response, alleviated airway inflammation, and reduced airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR). HO-1 induction by hemin administration reversed these phenotypes. In vitro studies revealed that HO-1 restrained GSDMD-mediated pyroptosis and cytokine TSLP release in AECs by binding Nuclear Factor-Kappa B (NF-κB) p65 RHD domain and thus controlling NF-κB-dependent pyroptosis. These data provide new therapeutic indications for purposing HO-1 to counteract inflammation, which contributes to allergic inflammation control.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has historically been a significant global health concern, profoundly impacting both life and well-being. In the process of CKD, with the gradual loss of renal function, the incidence of various life-threatening complications, such as cardiovascular diseases, cerebrovascular accident, infection and stroke, is also increasing rapidly. Unfortunately, existing treatments exhibit limited ability to halt the progression of kidney injury in CKD, emphasizing the urgent need to delve into the precise molecular mechanisms governing the occurrence and development of CKD while identifying novel therapeutic targets. Renal fibrosis, a typical pathological feature of CKD, plays a pivotal role in disrupting normal renal structures and the loss of renal function. Ferroptosis is a recently discovered iron-dependent form of cell death characterized by lipid peroxide accumulation. Ferroptosis has emerged as a potential key player in various diseases and the initiation of organ fibrosis. Substantial evidence suggests that ferroptosis may significantly contribute to the intricate interplay between CKD and its progression. This review comprehensively outlines the intricate relationship between CKD and ferroptosis in terms of iron metabolism and lipid peroxidation, and discusses the current landscape of pharmacological research on ferroptosis, shedding light on promising avenues for intervention. It further illustrates recent breakthroughs in ferroptosis-related regulatory mechanisms implicated in the progression of CKD, thereby providing new insights for CKD treatment. Video Abstract.

Abstract
Pyroptosis is an inflammatory programmed cell death process characterized by membrane rupture. Interestingly, pyroptotic cells can generate plenty of nanosized vesicles. Non-inflammatory apoptotic cell death-derived apoptotic vesicles (apoVs) were systemically characterized and displayed multiple physiological functions and therapeutic potentials. However, the characteristics of pyroptotic cell-generated extracellular vesicles (EVs) are largely unknown. Here, we identified a group of pyroptotic EVs (pyroEVs) from in vitro cultured pyroptotic mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), as well as from septic mouse blood. Compared with apoVs, pyroEVs express similar levels of annexin V, calreticulin, and common EV markers, but express a decreased level of apoptotic marker cleave caspase-3. PyroEVs, but not apoVs and exosomes, specifically express pyroptotic maker apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing CARD (ASC). More importantly, MSC-derived pyroEVs protect B cells in the spleen and bone marrow to relieve inflammatory responses and enhance the survival rate of the septic mice. Mechanistically, pyroEV membrane-expressed ASC binds to B cells to repress cell death by repressing Toll-like receptor 4. This study uncovered the characteristics of pyroEVs and their therapeutic role in sepsis and B cell-mediated immune response.

J Cardiothorac Surg 2024; 19:58. [PMID: 38317168 PMCID: PMC10840299 DOI: 10.1186/s13019-024-02530-3] [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: 12/05/2022] [Accepted: 01/28/2024] [Indexed: 02/07/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND This study examined the effect of the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) pathway on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and the potential molecular mechanism. METHODS A COPD mouse model was established by cigarette smoke exposure and administered with either ML385 or dimethyl fumarate (DMF). Airway resistance of mice was detected. IL-1β and IL-6 levels in mice alveolar lavage fluid were examined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Hematoxylin and eosin staining and immunohistochemical of lung tissues were utilized to detect lung injury and NLRP3 expression. DMF was used to treat COPD cell model constructed by exposing normal human bronchial epithelial (NHBE) cells to cigarette smoke extract. NHBE cells were transfected by NLRP3-expression vectors. Expression of proteins was detected by Western blot. RESULTS COPD mice showed the enhanced airway resistance, the inactivated Nrf2/HO-1 pathway and the overexpressed NLRP3, Caspase-1 and GSDMD-N proteins in lung tissues, and the increased IL-1β and IL-6 levels in alveolar lavage fluid. ML385 treatment augmented these indicators and lung injury in COPD mice. However, DMF intervention attenuated these indicators and lung injury in COPD mice. Nrf2/HO-1 pathway inactivation and overexpression of NLRP3, Caspase-1 and GSDMD-N proteins were observed in COPD cells. DMF intervention activated Nrf2/HO-1 pathway and down-regulated NLRP3, Caspase-1 and GSDMD-N proteins in COPD cells. However, NLRP3 overexpression abolished the effect of DMF on COPD cells. CONCLUSION Nrf2/HO-1 pathway activation may alleviate inflammation in COPD by suppressing the NLRP3-related pyroptosis. Activating the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway may be an effective method to treat COPD.

Immune Response Gene-1 [IRG1]/itaconate protect against multi-organ injury via inhibiting gasdermin D-mediated pyroptosis and inflammatory response. Inflammopharmacology 2024; 32:419-432. [PMID: 37470905 DOI: 10.1007/s10787-023-01278-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/29/2023] [Accepted: 06/09/2023] [Indexed: 07/21/2023]
Abstract
Sepsis is a multiple organ dysfunction syndrome due to a dysregulated response to infection with unacceptably high mortality. Currently, no effective treatment exists for sepsis. IRG1/itaconate has been considered to play a protective role for various inflammatory diseases. In the present study, we explored the protective role and mechanisms of IRG1/itaconate on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced multi-organ injury. The LPS-induced sepsis model was used. IRG1-/- and wild type mice were used to explore the protective role of IRG1/itaconate on multi-organ injury. GSDMD-/- mice were used to explore the effect of GSDMD-mediated pyroptosis on LPS-induced model. RAW264.7 cells and bone-marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) were used for in vitro studies. In vivo experiments, we found IRG1 deficiency aggravated LPS-induced multi-organ injury especially lung injury. 4-Octyl itaconate (4-OI), a derivative of itaconate, significantly ameliorated LPS-induced acute lung, liver, and kidney injury. Furthermore, IRG1/4-OI decreased serum interleukin-1β (IL-1β), IL-6, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) level, macrophage infiltration, and TUNEL-positive cells in lung and liver tissue. Western blot showed IRG1/itaconate decreased the expressions of p-ERK, p-P38, p-JNK, and p-P65 and increased the expression of Nrf2/HO-1 in lung tissue. Meanwhile, 4-OI inhibited the expression of GSDMD-N. In vitro experiments, 4-OI inhibited ROS production and promoted apoptosis under LPS stimulation in RAW264.7 cells. Furthermore, 4-OI inhibited nuclear factor-kappaB/mitogen-activated protein kinase pathways and GSDMD-medicated pyroptosis in BMDMs. Finally, we used GSDMD-/- mice to explore the effect of pyroptosis on LPS-induced multi-organ injury. The results showed that GSDMD deficiency significantly ameliorated lung injury. In conclusion, our data demonstrated that IRG1/itaconate protect against multi-organ injury via inhibiting inflammation response and GSDMD-indicated pyroptosis, which may be a promising agent for protecting against sepsis.

[PMID: 38256694 PMCID: PMC10816407 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13020559] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/26/2023] [Revised: 12/28/2023] [Accepted: 01/17/2024] [Indexed: 01/24/2024] Open
Abstract
(1) Background: Around 50% of hemophilia patients develop severe arthropathy, with even subclinical hemorrhage in childhood potentially leading to intra-articular iron deposition, synovia proliferation, neoangiogenesis, and eventual damage to articular cartilage and subchondral bone. Treatments typically include coagulation factor substitution, radiosynoviorthesis, and joint replacement for advanced cases. This study aims to elucidate programmed cell death mechanisms in hemophilic arthropathy (HA) to identify novel treatments. (2) Methods: Human chondrocytes were exposed to lysed/non-lysed erythrocytes, ferroptosis inducer ML-162, cytokines (IL-1ß, TNFα), and ferric citrate, then assessed for metabolic activity, DNA content, and cell death using Alamar Blue, cyQUANT, and Sytox assays. Three-dimensional spheroids served as a cartilage model to study the effects of erythrocytes and ML-162. (3) Results: Erythrocytes caused significant cell death in 2D cultures (p < 0.001) and damaged 3D chondrocyte spheroids. Iron citrate and erythrocytes reduced chondrocyte DNA content (p < 0.001). The ferroptosis pathway was implicated in cell death, with no effects from apoptosis and necroptosis inhibitors. (4) Conclusions: This study offers insights into HA's cell death pathway, suggesting ferroptosis inhibitors as potential therapies. Further studies are needed to evaluate their efficacy against the chronic effects of HA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pyroptosis, mediated by gasdermins with the release of multiple inflammatory cytokines, has emerged as playing an important role in targeted therapy and immunotherapy due to its effectiveness at inhibiting tumor growth. Melanoma is one of the most commonly used models for immunotherapy development, though an inadequate immune response can occur. Moreover, the development of pyroptosis-related therapy and combinations with other therapeutic strategies is limited due to insufficient understanding of the role of pyroptosis in the context of different tumor immune microenvironments (TMEs). METHODS Here, we present a computational model (pyroptosis-related gene score, PScore) to assess the pyroptosis status. We applied PScore to 1388 melanoma samples in our in-house cohort and eight other publicly available independent cohorts and then calculated its prognostic power of and potential as a predictive marker of immunotherapy efficacy. Furthermore, we performed association analysis for PScore and the characteristics of the TME by using bulk, single-cell, and spatial transcriptomics and assessed the association of PScore with mutation status, which contributes to targeted therapy. RESULTS Pyroptosis-related genes (PRGs) showed distinct expression patterns and prognostic predictive ability in melanoma. Most PRGs were associated with better survival in metastatic melanoma. Our PScore model based on genes associated with prognosis exhibits robust performance in survival prediction in multiple metastatic melanoma cohorts. We also found PScore to be associated with BRAF mutation and correlate positively with multiple molecular signatures, such as KRAS signaling and the IFN gamma response pathway. Based on our data, melanoma with an immune-enriched TME had a higher PScore than melanoma with an immune-depleted or fibrotic TME. Additionally, monocytes had the highest PScore and malignant cells and fibroblasts the lowest PScore based on single-cell and spatial transcriptome analyses. Finally, a higher PScore was associated with better therapeutic efficacy of immune checkpoint blockade, suggesting the potential of pyroptosis to serve as a marker of immunotherapy response. CONCLUSIONS Collectively, our findings indicate that pyroptosis is a prognostic factor and is associated with the immune response in metastatic melanoma, as based on multiomics data. Our results provide a theoretical basis for drug combination and reveal potential immunotherapy response markers.
