Abstract
Mitochondria exhibit heterogeneous shapes and networks within and among cell types and tissues, also in normal or osteoporotic bone tissues with complex cell types. This dynamic characteristic is determined by the high plasticity provided by mitochondrial dynamics and is stemmed from responding to the survival and functional requirements of various bone cells in a specific microenvironments. In contrast, mitochondrial dysfunction, induced by dysregulation of mitochondrial dynamics, may act as a trigger of cell death signals, including common apoptosis and other forms of programmed cell death (PCD). These PCD processes consisting of tightly structured cascade gene expression events, can further influence the bone remodeling by facilitating the death of various bone cells. Mitochondrial dynamics, therefore, drive the bone cells to stand at the crossroads of life and death by integrating external signals and altering metabolism, shape, and signal-response properties of mitochondria. This implies that targeting mitochondrial dynamics displays significant potential in treatment of osteoporosis. Considerable effort has been made in osteoporosis to emphasize the parallel roles of mitochondria in regulating energy metabolism, calcium signal transduction, oxidative stress, inflammation, and cell death. However, the emerging field of mitochondrial dynamics-related PCD is not well understood. Herein, to bridge the gap, we outline the latest knowledge on mitochondrial dynamics regulating bone cell life or death during normal bone remodeling and osteoporosis.

Abstract
Polysaccharides from diverse origins exhibit notable bioactivities, particularly their capacity to exert antitumor and immune-enhancing effects. Concurrently, ferroptosis emerges as a distinctive form of regulated cell death characterized by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation, potentially influencing the demise of specific tumor cells and organismal homeostasis. Recent scholarly attention has increasingly focused on utilizing polysaccharides to modulate tumor cell ferroptosis and manipulate cellular immune responses. This article provides an in-depth analysis of contemporary research concerning using polysaccharides to augment antitumor immunity and combat malignancies. Central to our discourse is examining the pivotal role of polysaccharides in mediating ferroptosis, bolstering immune surveillance, and elucidating the interplay between polysaccharides and antitumor immunity. Furthermore, a comprehensive synthesis of the multifaceted roles of polysaccharides in antitumor and immunomodulatory contexts is provided. Recent advances in understanding how polysaccharides enhance immune function by inducing ferroptosis cell death are explained. Lastly, unresolved inquiries are outlined, and potential avenues for future research are proposed, focusing on the translational applications of polysaccharides in antitumor immunotherapy.

MOLECULAR CELL RESEARCH 2024; 1871:119825. [PMID: 39168410 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbamcr.2024.119825] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/10/2023] [Revised: 07/05/2024] [Accepted: 08/10/2024] [Indexed: 08/23/2024]
Abstract
Metabolic responses to cellular stress are pivotal in cell ferroptosis, with mitophagy serving as a crucial mechanism in both metabolic processes and ferroptosis. This study aims to elucidate the effects of high glucose on cardiomyocytes (CMs) and cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) regarding ferroptosis and to uncover the underlying mechanisms involved. We examined alterations in glycolysis, mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), and mitophagy, which are essential for metabolic adaptations and ferroptosis. High glucose exposure induced ferroptosis specifically in CMs, while CFs exhibited resistance to ferroptosis, increased glycolytic activity, and no change in OXPHOS. Moreover, high glucose treatment enhanced mitophagy and upregulated mitochondrial ferritin (FTMT). Notably, the combination of FTMT and the autophagy-related protein nuclear receptor coactivator 4 (NCOA4) increased under high glucose conditions. Silencing FTMT significantly impeded mitophagy and eliminated ferroptosis resistance in CFs cultured under high glucose conditions. The transcription factor forkhead box A1 (FOXA1) was upregulated in CFs upon high glucose exposure, playing a crucial role in the increased expression of FTMT. Within the 5'-flanking sequence of the FTMT mRNA, approximately -500 nt from the transcription initiation site, three putative FOXA1 binding sites were identified. High glucose augmented the binding affinity between FOXA1 and these sequences, thereby promoting FTMT transcription. In summary, high glucose upregulated FOXA1 expression and stimulated FTMT promoter activity in CFs, thereby promoting FTMT-dependent mitophagy and conferring ferroptosis resistance in CFs.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease with a complex etiology. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs are NETwork protein structures activated by neutrophils to induce the cleavage and release of DNA-protein complexes). Current studies have shown the critical involvement of NETs in the progression of autoimmune diseases, Neutrophils mostly gather in the inflammatory sites of patients and participate in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases in various ways. NETs, as the activated state of neutrophils, have attracted much attention in immune diseases. Many molecules released in NETs are targeted autoantigens in autoimmune diseases, such as histones, citrulline peptides, and myeloperoxidase. All of these suggest that NETs have a direct causal relationship between the production of autoantigens and autoimmune diseases. For RA in particular, as a disorder of the innate and adaptive immune response, the pathogenesis of RA is inseparable from the generation of RA. In this article, we investigate the emerging role of NETs in the pathogenesis of RA and suggest that NETs may be an important target for the treatment of inflammatory autoimmune diseases.

Abstract
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is characterized by chronic non-recessive inflammation of the intestinal mucosa involving both innate and adaptive immune responses. Currently, new targeted therapies are urgently needed for UC, and neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are new therapeutic options. NETs are DNA-based networks released from neutrophils into the extracellular space after stimulation, in which a variety of granule proteins, proteolytic enzymes, antibacterial peptides, histones, and other network structures are embedded. With the deepening of the studies on NETs, their regulatory role in the development of autoimmune and autoinflammatory diseases has received extensive attention in recent years. Increasing evidence indicates that excess NETs exacerbate the inflammatory response in UC, disrupting the structure and function of the intestinal mucosal barrier and increasing the risk of thrombosis. Although NETs are usually assigned a deleterious role in promoting the pathological process of UC, they also appear to have a protective role in some models. Despite such progress, comprehensive reviews describing the therapeutic promise of NETs in UC remain limited. In this review, we discuss the latest evidence for the formation and degradation of NETs, focusing on their double-edged role in UC. Finally, the potential implications of NETs as therapeutic targets for UC will be discussed. This review aims to provide novel insights into the pathogenesis and therapeutic options for UC.

Abstract
In this editorial, we comment on an article titled “Morphological and biochemical characteristics associated with autophagy in gastrointestinal diseases”, which was published in a recent issue of the World Journal of Gastroenterology. We focused on the statement that “autophagy is closely related to the digestion, secretion, and regeneration of gastrointestinal cells”. With advancing research, autophagy, and particularly the pivotal role of the macroautophagy in maintaining cellular equilibrium and stress response in the gastrointestinal system, has garnered extensive study. However, the significance of mitophagy, a unique selective autophagy pathway with ubiquitin-dependent and independent variants, should not be overlooked. In recent decades, mitophagy has been shown to be closely related to the occurrence and development of gastrointestinal diseases, especially inflammatory bowel disease, gastric cancer, and colorectal cancer. The interplay between mitophagy and mitochondrial quality control is crucial for elucidating disease mechanisms, as well as for the development of novel treatment strategies. Exploring the pathogenesis behind gastrointestinal diseases and providing individualized and efficient treatment for patients are subjects we have been exploring. This article reviews the potential mechanism of mitophagy in gastrointestinal diseases with the hope of providing new ideas for diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
Impaired angiogenesis is a major factor contributing to delayed wound healing in diabetes. Dysfunctional mitochondria promote the formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), obstructing angiogenesis during wound healing. Mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (MSC-EVs) have shown promise in promoting tissue repair and regeneration in diabetes; however, the precise pathways involved in this process remain unclear. In this study, NET-induced ferroptosis of endothelial cells (ECs) and angiogenesis were assessed in diabetic wound samples from both patients and animal models. In vitro and in vivo experiments were performed to examine the regulatory mechanisms of NETs in ECs using specific inhibitors and gene-knockout mice. MSC-EVs encapsulating dysfunctional mitochondria were used to trigger mitochondrial fusion and restore mitochondrial function in neutrophils to suppress NET formation. Angiogenesis in wound tissue was evaluated using color laser Doppler imaging and vascular density analysis. Wound healing was evaluated via macroscopic analysis and histological evaluation of the epithelial gap. NET-induced ferroptosis of ECs was validated as a crucial factor contributing to the impairment of angiogenesis in diabetic wounds. Mechanistically, NETs regulated ferroptosis by suppressing the PI3K/AKT pathway. Furthermore, MSC-EVs transferred functional mitochondria to neutrophils in wound tissue, triggered mitochondrial fusion, and restored mitochondrial function, thereby reducing NET formation. These results suggest that inhibiting NET formation and EC ferroptosis or activating the PI3K/AKT pathway can remarkably improve wound healing. In conclusion, this study reveals a novel NET-mediated pathway involved in wound healing in diabetes and suggests an effective therapeutic strategy for accelerating wound healing.

Abstract
Intestinal ischemia/reperfusion is a prevalent pathological process that can result in intestinal dysfunction, bacterial translocation, energy metabolism disturbances, and subsequent harm to distal tissues and organs via the circulatory system. Acute lung injury frequently arises as a complication of intestinal ischemia/reperfusion, exhibiting early onset and a grim prognosis. Without appropriate preventative measures and efficacious interventions, this condition may progress to acute respiratory distress syndrome and elevate mortality rates. Nonetheless, the precise mechanisms and efficacious treatments remain elusive. This paper synthesizes recent research models and pertinent injury evaluation criteria within the realm of acute lung injury induced by intestinal ischemia/reperfusion. The objective is to investigate the roles of pathophysiological mechanisms like oxidative stress, inflammatory response, apoptosis, ferroptosis, and pyroptosis; and to assess the strengths and limitations of current therapeutic approaches for acute lung injury stemming from intestinal ischemia/reperfusion. The goal is to elucidate potential targets for enhancing recovery rates, identify suitable treatment modalities, and offer insights for translating fundamental research into clinical applications.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 471:134319. [PMID: 38657511 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.134319] [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: 01/04/2024] [Revised: 04/02/2024] [Accepted: 04/14/2024] [Indexed: 04/26/2024]
Abstract
Deoxynivalenol (DON), a widespread mycotoxin, represents a substantial public health hazard due to its propensity to contaminate agricultural produce, leading to both acute and chronic health issues in humans and animals upon consumption. The role of ferroptosis in DON-induced hepatic damage remains largely unexplored. This study investigates the impact of 18β-glycyrrhetinic acid (GA), a prominent constituent of glycyrrhiza, on DON hepatotoxicity and elucidates the underlying mechanisms. Our results indicate that GA effectively attenuates liver injury inflicted by DON. This was achieved by inhibiting nuclear receptor coactivator 4 (NCOA4)-mediated ferritinophagy and ferroptosis, as well as by adjusting mitochondrial quality control (MQC). Specifically, GA curtails ferritinophagy by diminishing NCOA4 expression without affecting the autophagic flux. At a molecular level, GA binds to and stabilizes programmed cell death protein 4 (PDCD4), thereby inhibiting its ubiquitination and subsequent degradation. This stabilization of PDCD4 leads to the downregulation of NCOA4 via the JNK-Jun-NCOA4 axis. Knockdown of PDCD4 weakened GA's protective action against DON exposure. Furthermore, GA improved mitochondrial function and limited excessive mitophagy and mitochondrial division induced by DON. Disrupting GA's modulation of MQC nullified its anti-ferroptosis effects. Overall, GA offers protection against DON-induced ferroptosis by blocking ferritinophagy and managing MQC. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATION: Food contamination from mycotoxins, is a problem for agricultural and food industries worldwide. Deoxynivalenol (DON), the most common mycotoxins in cereal commodities. A survey in 2023 showed that the positivity rate for DON contamination in food reached more than 70% globally. DON can damage the health of humans whether exposed to high doses for short periods of time or low doses for long periods of time. We have discovered 18β-Glycyrrhetinic acid (GA), a prominent constituent of glycyrrhiza. Liver damage caused by low-dose DON can be successfully treated with GA. This study will support the means of DON control, including antidotes.

Abstract
Ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury is primarily characterized by the restoration of blood flow perfusion and oxygen supply to ischemic tissue and organs, but it paradoxically leads to tissue injury aggravation. IR injury is a challenging pathophysiological process that is difficult to avoid clinically and frequently occurs during organ transplantation, surgery, shock resuscitation, and other processes. The major causes of IR injury include increased levels of free radicals, calcium overload, oxidative stress, and excessive inflammatory response. Ghrelin is a newly discovered brain-intestinal peptide with anti-inflammatory and antiapoptotic effects that improve blood supply. The role and mechanism of ghrelin in intestinal ischemia-reperfusion (IIR) injury remain unclear. We hypothesized that ghrelin could attenuate IIR-induced oxidative stress and apoptosis. To investigate this, we established IIR by using a non-invasive arterial clip to clamp the root of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) in mice. Ghrelin was injected intraperitoneally at a dose of 50 μg/kg 20 min before IIR surgery, and [D-Lys3]-GHRP-6 was injected intraperitoneally at a dose of 12 nmol/kg 20 min before ghrelin injection. We mimicked the IIR process with hypoxia-reoxygenation (HR) in Caco-2 cells, which are similar to intestinal epithelial cells in structure and biochemistry. Our results showed that ghrelin inhibited IIR/HR-induced oxidative stress and apoptosis by activating GHSR-1α. Moreover, it was found that ghrelin activated the GHSR-1α/Sirt1/FOXO1 signaling pathway. We further inhibited Sirt1 and found that Sirt1 was critical for ghrelin-mediated mitigation of IIR/HR injury. Overall, our data suggest that pretreatment with ghrelin reduces oxidative stress and apoptosis to attenuate IIR/HR injury by binding with GHSR-1α to further activate Sirt1.

Abstract
Primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is linked to specific pathogenic mechanisms, yet its relationship with mitophagy and ferroptosis is poorly understood. This study aimed to identify new biomarkers and explore the role of mitophagy and ferroptosis in ITP pathogenesis. Techniques such as differential analysis, Mfuzz expression pattern clustering, machine learning, gene set enrichment analysis, single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and immune infiltration analysis were employed to investigate the molecular pathways of pivotal genes. Two-sample Mendelian randomization (TSMR) assessed the causal effects in ITP. Key genes identified in the training set included GABARAPL1, S100A8, LIN28A, and GDF9, which demonstrated diagnostic potential in validation sets. Functional analysis indicated these genes' involvement in ubiquitin phosphorylation, PPAR signalling pathway and T-cell differentiation. Immune infiltration analysis revealed increased macrophage presence in ITP, related to the critical genes. scRNA-seq indicated reduced GABARAPL1 expression in ITP bone marrow macrophages. TSMR linked S100A8 with ITP diagnosis, presenting an OR of 0.856 (95% CI = 0.736-0.997, p = 0.045). The study pinpointed four central genes, GABARAPL1, S100A8, LIN28A, and GDF9, tied to mitophagy and ferroptosis in ITP. It posits that diminished GABARAPL1 expression may disrupts ubiquitin phosphorylation and PPAR signalling, impairing mitophagy and inhibiting ferroptosis, leading to immune imbalance.

Abstract
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a complex immune-mediated chronic inflammatory bowel disease. It is mainly characterized by diffuse inflammation of the colonic and rectal mucosa with barrier function impairment. Identifying new biomarkers for the development of more effective UC therapies remains a pressing task for current research. Ferroptosis is a newly identified form of regulated cell death characterized by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation. As research deepens, ferroptosis has been demonstrated to be involved in the pathological processes of numerous diseases. A growing body of evidence suggests that the pathogenesis of UC is associated with ferroptosis, and the regulation of ferroptosis provides new opportunities for UC treatment. However, the specific mechanisms by which ferroptosis participates in the development of UC remain to be more fully and thoroughly investigated. Therefore, in this review, we focus on the research advances in the mechanism of ferroptosis in recent years and describe the potential role of ferroptosis in the pathogenesis of UC. In addition, we explore the underlying role of the crosslinked pathway between ferroptosis and other mechanisms such as macrophages, neutrophils, autophagy, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and gut microbiota in UC. Finally, we also summarize the potential compounds that may act as ferroptosis inhibitors in UC in the future.

Abstract
Background Cerebral infarction often results in post-stroke cognitive impairment, which impairs the quality of life and causes long-term disability. Astrocytes, the most abundant glial cells in the central nervous system, have a crucial role in cerebral ischemia and neuroinflammation. We explored the possible advantages of interleukin-6 (IL-6), a powerful pro-inflammatory cytokine produced by astrocytes, for post-stroke cognitive function. Methods Mendelian randomization was applied to analyze the GWAS database of stroke patients, obtaining a causal relationship between IL-6 and stroke. Further validation of this relationship and its mechanisms was conducted. Using a mouse model of cerebral infarction, we demonstrated a significant increase in IL-6 expression in astrocytes surrounding the ischemic lesion. This protective effect of Piezo1 knockout was attributed to the downregulation of matrix metalloproteinases and upregulation of tight junction proteins, such as occludin and zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1). Results Two-step Mendelian randomization revealed that IL-6 exposure is a risk factor for stroke. Moreover, we conducted behavioral assessments and observed that Piezo1 knockout mice that received intranasal administration of astrocyte-derived IL-6 showed notable improvement in cognitive function compared to control mice. This enhancement was associated with reduced neuronal cell death and suppressed astrocyte activation, preserving ZO-1. Conclusion Our study shows that astrocyte-derived IL-6 causes cognitive decline after stroke by protecting the blood-brain barrier. This suggests that piezo1 knockout may reduce cognitive impairment after brain ischemia. Further research on the mechanisms and IL-6 delivery methods may lead to new therapies for post-stroke cognition.

Abstract
Mitochondria produce adenosine triphosphate and potentially contribute to proinflammatory responses and cell death. Mitophagy, as a conservative phenomenon, scavenges waste mitochondria and their components in the cell. Recent studies suggest that severe infections develop alongside mitochondrial dysfunction and mitophagy abnormalities. Restoring mitophagy protects against excessive inflammation and multiple organ failure in sepsis. Here, we review the normal mitophagy process, its interaction with invading microorganisms and the immune system, and summarize the mechanism of mitophagy dysfunction during severe infection. We highlight critical role of normal mitophagy in preventing severe infection.

Abstract
Septic cardiomyopathy is one of the predominant culprit factors contributing to the rising mortality in patients with severe sepsis. Among various mechanisms responsible for the etiology of septic heart anomalies, disruption of mitochondrial homeostasis has gained much recent attention, resulting in myocardial inflammation and even cell death. Ferroptosis is a novel category of regulated cell death (RCD) provoked by iron-dependent phospholipid peroxidation through iron-mediated phospholipid (PL) peroxidation, enroute to the rupture of plasma membranes and eventually cell death. This review summarizes the recent progress of ferroptosis in mitochondrial homeostasis during septic cardiomyopathy. We will emphasize the role of mitochondrial iron transport channels and the antioxidant system in ferroptosis. Finally, we will summarize and discuss future research, which should help guide disease treatment.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a form of programmed cell death that plays a significant role in causing several diseases such as heart attack and heart failure, through alterations in fat, amino acid, and iron metabolism. Comprehending the regulatory mechanisms of ferroptosis signaling is critical because it has a considerable effect on the elderly's mortality. Conversely, age-related changes in substrate metabolism and metabolite levels are recognized to give rise to obesity. Furthermore, research has proposed that aging and obesity-related changes in substrate metabolism may aggravate ferroptosis. The suppression of ferroptosis holds potential as a successful therapeutic approach for managing different diseases, including sarcopenia, cardiovascular diseases, and central nervous system diseases. However, the pathologic and biological mechanisms behind the function of ferroptosis are not fully comprehended yet. Physical activity could affect lipid, amino acid, and iron metabolism to modulate ferroptosis. The aim of this study is to showcase the current understanding of the molecular mechanisms leading to ferroptosis and discuss the role of aging and physical activity in this phenomenon.

Abstract
Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a cellular reprogramming process that converts epithelial cells into mesenchymal-like cells with migratory and invasive capabilities. The initiation and regulation of EMT is closely linked to a range of transcription factors, cell adhesion molecules and signaling pathways, which play a key role in cancer metastasis and drug resistance. The regulation of ferroptosis is intricately linked to various cell death pathways, intracellular iron homeostasis, and the protein network governing iron supply and storage. The ability of ferroptosis to disrupt cancer cells and overcome drug resistance lies in its control of intracellular iron ion levels. EMT process can promote the accumulation of iron ions, providing conditions for ferroptosis. Conversely, ferroptosis may impact the regulatory network of EMT by modulating transcription factors, signaling pathways, and cell adhesion molecules. Thus, ferroptosis related genes and signaling pathways and oxidative homeostasis play important roles in the regulation of EMT. In this paper, we review the role of ferroptosis related genes and their signaling pathways in regulating cancer EMT to better understand the crosstalk mechanism between ferroptosis and EMT, aiming to provide better therapeutic strategies for eradicating cancer cells and overcoming drug resistance.
