Abstract
BACKGROUND Although recent studies provide mechanistic understanding to the pathogenesis of radiation induced lung injury (RILI), rare therapeutics show definitive promise for treating this disease. Type II alveolar epithelial cells (AECII) injury in various manner results in an inflammation response to initiate RILI. RESULTS Here, we reported that radiation (IR) up-regulated the TNKS1BP1, causing progressive accumulation of the cellular senescence by up-regulating EEF2 in AECII and lung tissue of RILI mice. Senescent AECII induced Senescence-Associated Secretory Phenotype (SASP), consequently activating fibroblasts and macrophages to promote RILI development. In response to IR, elevated TNKS1BP1 interacted with and decreased CNOT4 to suppress EEF2 degradation. Ectopic expression of EEF2 accelerated AECII senescence. Using a model system of TNKS1BP1 knockout (KO) mice, we demonstrated that TNKS1BP1 KO prevents IR-induced lung tissue senescence and RILI. CONCLUSIONS Notably, this study suggested that a regulatory mechanism of the TNKS1BP1/CNOT4/EEF2 axis in AECII senescence may be a potential strategy for RILI.

[PMID: 39009145 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.174738] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/29/2024] [Revised: 07/10/2024] [Accepted: 07/11/2024] [Indexed: 07/17/2024]
Abstract
2,2',4,4'-Tetrabromodiphenyl ether (PBDE-47), being the most prevalent congener of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), has been found to accumulate greatly in the environment and induce spermatogenesis dysfunction. However, the specific underlying factors and mechanisms have not been elucidated. Herein, male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were exposed to corn oil, 10 mg/kg body weight (bw) PBDE-47 or 20 mg/kg bw PBDE-47 by gavage for 30 days. PBDE-47 exposure led to blood-testis barrier (BTB) integrity disruption and aberrant spermatogenesis. Given that Sertoli cells are the main toxicant target, to explore the potential mechanism involved, we performed RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) in Sertoli cells, and the differentially expressed genes were shown to be enriched in ferroptosis and lysosomal pathways. We subsequently demonstrated that ferroptosis was obviously increased in testes and Sertoli cells upon exposure to PBDE-47, and the junctional function of Sertoli cells was restored after treatment with the ferroptosis inhibitor ferrostatin-1. Since glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) was dramatically reduced in PBDE-47-exposed testes and Sertoli cells and considering the RNA-sequencing results, we examined the activity of chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) and verified that the expression of LAMP2a and HSC70 was upregulated significantly after PBDE-47 exposure. Notably, Lamp2a knockdown not only inhibited ferroptosis by suppressing GPX4 degradation but also restored the impaired junctional function induced by PBDE-47. These collective findings strongly indicate that PBDE-47 induces Sertoli cell ferroptosis through CMA-mediated GPX4 degradation, resulting in decreased BTB-associated protein expression and eventually leading to BTB integrity disruption and spermatogenesis dysfunction.

Abstract
Ionizing radiation has been pivotal in cancer therapy since its discovery. Despite its therapeutic benefits, IR causes significant acute and chronic complications due to DNA damage and the generation of reactive oxygen species, which harm nucleic acids, lipids, and proteins. While cancer cells are more vulnerable to ionizing radiation due to their inefficiency in repairing damage, healthy cells in the irradiated area also suffer. Various types of cell death occur, including apoptosis, necrosis, pyroptosis, autophagy-dependent cell death, immunogenic cell death, and ferroptosis. Ferroptosis, driven by iron-dependent lipid peroxide accumulation, has been recognized as crucial in radiation therapy's therapeutic effects and complications, with extensive research across various tissues. This review aims to summarize the pathways involved in radiation-related ferroptosis, findings in different organs, and drugs targeting ferroptosis to mitigate its harmful effects.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a newly recognized type of programmed cell death that is implicated in the pathophysiological process of neurological disorders. Our previous studies have revealed that exposure to high concentrations of fluoride for long periods of time induces hippocampal neural injury and cognitive deficits. However, whether ferroptosis is involved in fluoride-induced neuronal death and the underlying mechanism remain unknown. In this study, the results indicated that exposure to high fluoride triggered ferroptosis in SH-SY5Y cells and in the hippocampus of mice. Fluoride exposure accelerated the lysosomal degradation of GPX4 and led to neuronal ferroptosis, while GPX4 overexpression protected SH-SY5Y cells against fluoride-induced neurotoxicity. Intriguingly, the enhanced chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) induced by fluoride stimulation was responsible for GPX4 degradation because the inhibition of CMA activity by LAMP2A knockdown effectively prevented fluoride-induced GPX4 loss. Furthermore, mitochondrial ROS (mtROS) accumulation caused by fluoride contributed to CMA activation-mediated GPX4 degradation and subsequent neuronal ferroptosis. Notably, the ferroptosis-specific inhibitor ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1) or the ROS scavenger N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) alleviated fluoride-evoked hippocampal neuronal death and synaptic injury as well as cognitive deficits in mice. The present studies indicates that ferroptosis is a novel mechanism of fluoride-induced neurotoxicity and that chronic fluoride exposure facilitates GPX4 degradation via mtROS chaperone-mediated autophagy, leading to neuronal ferroptosis and cognitive impairment.

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.

[PMID: 38641608 PMCID: PMC11027343 DOI: 10.1186/s12920-024-01854-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2023] [Accepted: 03/27/2024] [Indexed: 04/21/2024] Open
Abstract
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a common systemic inflammatory disease resulting from the activation of trypsinogen by various incentives in ICU. The annual incidence rate is approximately 30 out of 100,000. Some patients may progress to severe acute pancreatitis, with a mortality rate of up to 40%. Therefore, the goal of this article is to explore the key genes for effective diagnosis and treatment of AP. The analysis data for this study were merged from two GEO datasets. 1357 DEGs were used for functional enrichment and cMAP analysis, aiming to reveal the pathogenic genes and potential mechanisms of AP, as well as potential drugs for treating AP. Importantly, the study used LASSO and SVM-RFE machine learning to screen the most likely AP occurrence biomarker for Prdx4 among numerous candidate genes. A receiver operating characteristic of Prdx4 was used to estimate the incidence of AP. The ssGSEA algorithm was employed to investigate immune cell infiltration in AP. The biomarker Prdx4 gene exhibited significant associations with a majority of immune cells and was identified as being expressed in NKT cells, macrophages, granulocytes, and B cells based on single-cell transcriptome data. Finally, we found an increase in Prdx4 expression in the pancreatic tissue of AP mice through immunohistochemistry. After treatment with recombinant Prdx4, the pathological damage to the pancreatic tissue of AP mice was relieved. In conclusion, our study identified Prdx4 as a potential AP hub gene, providing a new target for treatment.

Abstract
Recently, it was established that ferroptosis, a type of iron-dependent regulated cell death, plays a prominent role in radiotherapy-triggered cell death. Accordingly, ferroptosis inducers attracted a lot of interest as potential radio-synergizing drugs, ultimately enhancing radioresponses and patient outcomes. Nevertheless, the tumor microenvironment seems to have a major impact on ferroptosis induction. The influence of hypoxic conditions is an area of interest, as it remains the principal hurdle in the field of radiotherapy. In this review, we focus on the implications of hypoxic conditions on ferroptosis, contemplating the plausibility of using ferroptosis inducers as clinical radiosensitizers. Furthermore, we dive into the prospects of drug repurposing in the domain of ferroptosis inducers and radiosensitizers. Lastly, the potential adverse effects of ferroptosis inducers on normal tissue were discussed in detail. This review will provide an important framework for subsequent ferroptosis research, ascertaining the feasibility of ferroptosis inducers as clinical radiosensitizers.

Abstract
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is an extremely common clinical arrhythmia disease, but whether its mechanism is associated with ferroptosis remains unclear. The tRNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs) are involved in a variety of cardiovascular diseases, however, their role and mechanism in atrial remodeling in AF have not been studied. We aimed to explore whether tsRNAs mediate ferroptosis in AF progression. The AF models were constructed to detect ferroptosis-related indicators, and Ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1) was introduced to clarify the relationship between ferroptosis and AF. Atrial myocardial tissue was used for small RNA sequencing to screen potential tsRNAs. tsRNA functioned on ferroptosis and AF was explored. Atrial fibrosis and changes in the cellular structures and arrangement were observed in AF mice model, and these alterations were accompanied by ferroptosis occurrence, exhibited by the accumulation of Fe2+ and MDA levels and the decrease of expression of FTH1, GPX4, and SLC7A11. Blocking above ferroptosis activation with Fer-1 resulted in a significant improvement for AF. A total of 7 tsRNAs were upregulated (including tsRNA-5008a) and 2 tsRNAs were downregulated in atrial myocardial tissue in the AF group compared with the sham group. We constructed a tsRNA-mRNA regulated network, which showed tsRNA-5008a targeted 16 ferroptosis-related genes. Knockdown of tsRNA-5008a significantly suppressed ferroptosis through targeting SLC7A11 and diminished myocardial fibrosis both in vitro and in vivo. On the contrary, tsRNA-5008a mimics promoted ferroptosis in cardiomyocytes. Collectively, tsRNA-5008a involved in AF through ferroptosis. Our study provides novel insights into the role of tsRNA-5008a mediated ferroptosis in AF progression.

Abstract
Acute lung injury (ALI) is a life-threatening clinical disorder with high mortality rate. Ferroptosis is a new type of programmed cell death with lipid peroxidation and iron ion overloading as the main characteristics. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and ferroptosis play pivotal roles in the pathogenesis of ALI. The study aimed to investigate the underlying relationship between ER stress and ferroptosis in ALI. The ER stress inhibitor 4-phenylbutyric acid (4-PBA) alleviated LPS-induced inflammation, and decreased IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α levels in BALF and lungs. The increased MDA and decreased GSH induced by LPS were partially reversed by 4-PBA, which also inhibited the expressions of ferroptosis-related protein ACSL4, COX-2, and FTH1. TEM further confirmed the ferroptosis within airway epithelia cells was ameliorated by 4-PBA. Moreover, 4-PBA reduced the production of ROS and lipid ROS in LPS-exposed BEAS-2B cells in a concentration-dependent way. Meanwhile, 4-PBA mitigated LPS-induced cell apoptosis in vivo and in vitro. Mechanistically, the MAPK signaling pathway activated by LPS was downregulated by 4-PBA. Collectively, these findings suggested that 4-PBA protected against ALI by inhibiting inflammation and ferroptosis through downregulating ER stress, thus providing a potential intervention for ALI and revealing the possible interaction between ER stress and ferroptosis in ALI.

Abstract
Autophagy is the initial defense response of the host against pathogens. Autophagy can be either non-selective or selective. It selectively targets the degradation of autophagic substrates through the sorting and transportation of autophagic receptor proteins. However, excessive autophagy activity will trigger cell death especially ferroptosis, which was characterized by the accumulation of lipid peroxide and free iron. Several certain types of selective autophagy degrade antioxidant systems and ferritin. Here, we summarized the latest researches of autophagy in infection and discuss the regulatory mechanisms and signaling pathways of autophagy-dependent ferroptosis.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a recently recognized form of cell death with distinct features in terms of morphology, biochemistry, and molecular mechanisms. Unlike other types of cell death, ferroptosis is characterized by iron dependence, reactive oxygen species accumulation and lipid peroxidation. Recent studies have demonstrated that selective autophagy plays a vital role in the induction of ferroptosis, including ferritinophagy, lipophagy, clockophagy, and chaperone-mediated autophagy. Emerging evidence has indicated the involvement of ferroptosis in tumorigenesis through regulating various biological processes, including tumor growth, metastasis, stemness, drug resistance, and recurrence. Clinical and preclinical studies have found that novel therapies targeting ferroptosis exert great potential in the treatment of tumors. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the molecular mechanisms in ferroptosis, especially in autophagy-driven ferroptosis, discusses the recent advances in the biological roles of ferroptosis in tumorigenesis, and highlights the application of novel ferroptosis-targeted therapies in the clinical treatment of tumors.

Abstract
In this study, we aimed to investigate the pharmacological effects and underlying mechanisms of astragaloside IV (AS IV) against radiation-induced lung injury. We established experimental models of radiation-induced lung injury and observed the effect of AS IV on cell viability, cell death, inflammatory responses and ferroptosis. Accordingly, we found that AS IV restored the suppressed cell viability and promoted cell death induced by X-ray irradiation. Moreover, radiation-induced up-regulation of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release, ferroptosis, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and inflammatory responses were also restored by AS IV in a dose-dependent manner. Besides, in radiation-induced lung injury C57BL/6 mice, AS IV evidently alleviated lung injury and promoted the survival rate of lung-injured mice. And the ferroptosis level in mice lung tissues were also alleviated by the administration of AS IV in a dose-dependent manner. As a conclusion, by comparing the changes of ferroptosis, ROS and inflammatory responses in the experimental models, we validated that AS IV could inhibit inflammatory responses and cell injury in the treatment of radiation-induced lung injury by suppressing ferroptosis. This finding not only find potentially effective treatments to mitigate radiation-induced lung injury, but also provides supporting evidence for clinical application of AS IV to improve the management of radiation-treated patients and minimize the associated lung complications or other adverse effects. Moreover, as inflammation and ROS are key contributors to tissue damage in various diseases, our study suggested the potential application of AS IV in the treatments for other diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Emerging evidence reveals the important role of ferroptosis in the pathophysiological process of acute lung injury (ALI). We aimed to identify and validate the potential ferroptosis-related genes of ALI through bioinformatics analysis and experimental validation. METHODS Murine ALI model was established via intratracheal instillation with LPS and confirmed by H&E staining and transmission electronic microscopy (TEM). RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) was used to screen differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between control and ALI model mice. The potential differentially expressed ferroptosis-related genes of ALI were identified using the limma R package. Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis, gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA), and protein-protein interactions (PPI) were applied for the differentially expressed ferroptosis-related genes. CIBERSORT tool was used to conduct immune cell infiltration analysis. Finally, protein expressions and RNA expression of ferroptosis DEGs were validated in vivo and in vitro by western blots and RT-qPCR. RESULTS Among 5009 DEGs, a total of 86 differentially expressed ferroptosis-related genes (45 up-regulated genes and 41 down-regulated genes) were identified in the lungs between control and ALI. GSEA analysis showed that the genes enriched were mainly involved in response to molecule of bacterial origin and fatty acid metabolic process. The GO and KEGG enrichment analysis indicated that the top 40 ferroptosis DEGs were mainly enriched in reactive oxygen species metabolic process, HIF-1signaling pathway, lipid and atherosclerosis, and ferroptosis. The PPI results and Spearman correlation analysis suggested that these ferroptosis-related genes interacted with each other. Immune infiltration analysis confirmed that ferroptosis DEGs were closely related to immune response. Consistent with the RNA-seq data, the western blot and RT-qPCR unveiled increased mRNA expressions of Cxcl2, Il-6, Il-1β, and Tnfα, and protein expressions of FTH1, TLR4 as well as decreased ACSL3 in LPS-induced ALI. In vitro, the upregulated mRNA levels of CXCL2, IL-6, SLC2A1, FTH1, TNFAIP3, and downregulated NQO1 and CAV1 in LPS-stimulated BEAS-2B and A549 cells were verified. CONCLUSION We identified 86 potential ferroptosis-related genes of LPS-induced ALI through RNA-seq. Several pivotal ferroptosis-related genes involved in lipid metabolism and iron metabolism were implicated in ALI. This study may be helpful to expand our understanding of ALI and provide some potential targets to counteract ferroptosis in ALI.

Abstract
Glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPx4) moonlights as structural protein and antioxidase that powerfully inhibits lipid oxidation. In the past years, it is considered as a key regulator of ferroptosis, which takes role in the lipid and amine acid metabolism and influences the cell aging, oncogenesis, and cell death. More and more evidences show that targeting GPX4-induced ferroptosis is a promising strategy for disease therapy, especially cancer treatment. In view of these, we generalize the function of GPX4 and regulatory mechanism between GPX4 and ferroptosis, discuss its roles in the disease pathology, and focus on the recent advances of disease therapeutic potential.

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

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a kind of oxidative stress-dependent cell death characterized by iron accumulation and lipid peroxidation. It can work in conjunction with radiation to increase reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and disrupt the antioxidant system, suppressing tumor progression. Radiation can induce ferroptosis by creating ROS, depleting glutathione, activating genes linked to DNA damage and increasing the expression of acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4 (ACSL4) in tumor cells. Furthermore, ferroptosis can enhance radiosensitivity by causing an iron overload, destruction of the antioxidant system, and lipid peroxidation. Radiation can also cause ferroptosis in normal cells, resulting in radiation injury. The role of ferroptosis in radiation-induced lung, intestinal, skin, and hematological injuries have been studied. In this review, we summarize the potential mechanisms linking ferroptosis, oxidative stress and radiation; analyze the function of ferroptosis in tumor suppression and radiation injury; and discuss the potential of ferroptosis regulation to improve radiotherapy efficacy and reduce adverse effects.

Hsp90 in Human Diseases: Molecular Mechanisms to Therapeutic Approaches. Cells 2022; 11:cells11060976. [PMID: 35326427 PMCID: PMC8946885 DOI: 10.3390/cells11060976] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2022] [Revised: 03/09/2022] [Accepted: 03/10/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
The maturation of hemeprotein dictates that they incorporate heme and become active, but knowledge of this essential cellular process remains incomplete. Studies on chaperon Hsp90 has revealed that it drives functional heme maturation of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) hemoglobin (Hb) and myoglobin (Mb) along with other proteins including GAPDH, while globin heme maturations also need an active sGC. In all these cases, Hsp90 interacts with the heme-free or apo-protein and then drives the heme maturation by an ATP dependent process before dissociating from the heme-replete proteins, suggesting that it is a key player in such heme-insertion processes. As the studies on globin maturation also need an active sGC, it connects the globin maturation to the NO-sGC (Nitric oxide-sGC) signal pathway, thereby constituting a novel NO-sGC-Globin axis. Since many aggressive cancer cells make Hbβ/Mb to survive, the dependence of the globin maturation of cancer cells places the NO-sGC signal pathway in a new light for therapeutic intervention. Given the ATPase function of Hsp90 in heme-maturation of client hemeproteins, Hsp90 inhibitors often cause serious side effects and this can encourage the alternate use of sGC activators/stimulators in combination with specific Hsp90 inhibitors for better therapeutic intervention.
