Veliparib exerts protective effects in intracerebral hemorrhage mice by inhibiting the inflammatory response and accelerating hematoma resolution. Brain Res 2024; 1838:148988. [PMID: 38729332 DOI: 10.1016/j.brainres.2024.148988] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2024] [Revised: 03/29/2024] [Accepted: 05/05/2024] [Indexed: 05/12/2024]
Abstract
Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors have potent anti-inflammatory effects, including the suppression of brain microglial activation. Veliparib, a well-known PARP1/2 inhibitor, exhibits particularly high brain penetration, but its effects on stroke outcome is unknown. Here, the effects of veliparib on the short-term outcome of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), the most lethal type of stroke, were investigated. Collagenase-induced mice ICH model was applied, and the T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging was performed to evaluate lesion volume. Motor function and hematoma volume were also measured. We further performed immunofluorescence, enzyme linked immunosorbent assay, flow cytometry, and blood-brain barrier assessment to explore the potential mechanisms. Our results demonstrated veliparib reduced the ICH lesion volume dose-dependently and at a dosage of 5 mg/kg, veliparib significantly improved mouse motor function and promoted hematoma resolution at days 3 and 7 post-ICH. Veliparib inhibited glial activation and downregulated the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Veliparib significantly decreased microglia counts and inhibited peripheral immune cell infiltration into the brain on day 3 after ICH. Veliparib improved blood-brain barrier integrity at day 3 after ICH. These findings demonstrate that veliparib improves ICH outcome by inhibiting inflammatory responses and may represent a promising novel therapy for ICH.

Abstract
Survivors experiencing acute carbon monoxide poisoning (ACMP) tend to develop white matter injury (WMI). The mechanism of ACMP-induced WMI remains unclear. Considering the role of ferroptosis in initiating oligodendrocyte damage to deteriorate WMI, exploring therapeutic options to attenuate ferroptosis is a feasible approach to alleviating WMI. Our results indicated that ACMP induced accumulation of iron and reactive oxygen species (ROS) eventually leading to WMI and motor impairment after ACMP. Furthermore, ferrostatin-1 reduced iron and ROS deposition to alleviate ferroptosis, thereafter reducing WMI to promote the recovery of motor function. The nuclear factor erythroid-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) signaling pathway was found to be involved in alleviating ferroptosis as seen with the administration of ferrostatin-1. The present study rationalizes that targeting ferroptosis to alleviate WMI is a feasible therapeutic strategy for managing ACMP.

Abstract
Ferroptosis, a unique modality of cell death with mechanistic and morphological differences from other cell death modes, plays a pivotal role in regulating tumorigenesis and offers a new opportunity for modulating anticancer drug resistance. Aberrant epigenetic modifications and posttranslational modifications (PTMs) promote anticancer drug resistance, cancer progression, and metastasis. Accumulating studies indicate that epigenetic modifications can transcriptionally and translationally determine cancer cell vulnerability to ferroptosis and that ferroptosis functions as a driver in nervous system diseases (NSDs), cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), liver diseases, lung diseases, and kidney diseases. In this review, we first summarize the core molecular mechanisms of ferroptosis. Then, the roles of epigenetic processes, including histone PTMs, DNA methylation, and noncoding RNA regulation and PTMs, such as phosphorylation, ubiquitination, SUMOylation, acetylation, methylation, and ADP-ribosylation, are concisely discussed. The roles of epigenetic modifications and PTMs in ferroptosis regulation in the genesis of diseases, including cancers, NSD, CVDs, liver diseases, lung diseases, and kidney diseases, as well as the application of epigenetic and PTM modulators in the therapy of these diseases, are then discussed in detail. Elucidating the mechanisms of ferroptosis regulation mediated by epigenetic modifications and PTMs in cancer and other diseases will facilitate the development of promising combination therapeutic regimens containing epigenetic or PTM-targeting agents and ferroptosis inducers that can be used to overcome chemotherapeutic resistance in cancer and could be used to prevent other diseases. In addition, these mechanisms highlight potential therapeutic approaches to overcome chemoresistance in cancer or halt the genesis of other diseases.

Targeting Pro-Oxidant Iron with Exogenously Administered Apotransferrin Provides Benefits Associated with Changes in Crucial Cellular Iron Gate Protein TfR in a Model of Intracerebral Hemorrhagic Stroke in Mice. Antioxidants (Basel) 2023; 12:1945. [PMID: 38001798 PMCID: PMC10669272 DOI: 10.3390/antiox12111945] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/13/2023] [Revised: 09/29/2023] [Accepted: 10/09/2023] [Indexed: 11/26/2023] Open
Abstract
We have previously demonstrated that the post-stroke administration of iron-free transferrin (apotransferrin, ATf) is beneficial in different models of ischemic stroke (IS) through the inhibition of the neuronal uptake of pro-oxidant iron. In the present study, we asked whether ATf is safe and also beneficial when given after the induction of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in mice, and investigated the underlying mechanisms. We first compared the main iron actors in the brain of IS- or collagenase-induced ICH mice and then obtained insight into these iron-related proteins in ICH 72 h after the administration of ATf. The infarct size of the IS mice was double that of hemorrhage in ICH mice, but both groups showed similar body weight loss, edema, and increased ferritin and transferrin levels in the ipsilateral brain hemisphere. Although the administration of human ATf (hATf) to ICH mice did not alter the hemorrhage volume or levels of the classical ferroptosis GPX4/system xc- pathways, hATf induced better neurobehavioral performance, decreased 4-hydroxynonenal levels and those of the second-generation ferroptosis marker transferrin receptor (TfR), and restored the mRNA levels of the recently recognized cytosolic iron chaperone poly(RC) binding protein 2. In addition, hATf treatment lowered the ICH-induced increase in both endogenous mouse transferrin mRNA levels and the activation of caspase-2. In conclusion, hATf treatment provides neurobehavioral benefits post-ICH associated with the modulation of iron/oxidative players.

FASEB J 2023; 37:e23048. [PMID: 37389895 DOI: 10.1096/fj.202300295r] [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: 02/18/2023] [Revised: 05/20/2023] [Accepted: 06/08/2023] [Indexed: 07/01/2023]
Abstract
Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are considered to be a crucial source of foam cells in atherosclerosis due to their low expression level of cholesterol exporter ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) intrinsically. While the definite regulatory mechanisms are complicated and have not yet been fully elucidated, we previously reported that Dickkopf-1 (DKK1) mediates endothelial cell (EC) dysfunction, thereby aggravating atherosclerosis. However, the role of smooth muscle cell (SMC) DKK1 in atherosclerosis and foam cell formation remains unknown. In this study, we established SMC-specific DKK1-knockout (DKK1SMKO ) mice by crossbreeding DKK1flox/flox mice with TAGLN-Cre mice. Then, DKK1SMKO mice were crossed with APOE-/- mice to generate DKK1SMKO /APOE-/- mice, which exhibited milder atherosclerotic burden and fewer SMC foam cells. In vitro loss- and gain-of-function studies of DKK1 in primary human aortic smooth muscle cells (HASMCs) have proven that DKK1 prevented oxidized lipid-induced ABCA1 upregulation and cholesterol efflux and promoted SMC foam cell formation. Mechanistically, RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis of HASMCs as well as chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) experiments showed that DKK1 mediates the binding of transcription factor CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein delta (C/EBPδ) to the promoter of cytochrome P450 epoxygenase 4A11 (CYP4A11) to regulate its expression. In addition, CYP4A11 as well as its metabolite 20-HETE-promoted activation of transcription factor sterol regulatory element-binding protein 2 (SREBP2) mediated the DKK1 regulation of ABCA1 in SMC. Furthermore, HET0016, the antagonist of CYP4A11, has also shown an alleviating effect on atherosclerosis. In conclusion, our results demonstrate that DKK1 promotes SMC foam cell formation during atherosclerosis via a reduction in CYP4A11-20-HETE/SREBP2-mediated ABCA1 expression.

Abstract
Emerging evidence suggests that ferroptosis, a unique regulated cell death modality that is morphologically and mechanistically different from other forms of cell death, plays a vital role in the pathophysiological process of neurodegenerative diseases, and strokes. Accumulating evidence supports ferroptosis as a critical factor of neurodegenerative diseases and strokes, and pharmacological inhibition of ferroptosis as a therapeutic target for these diseases. In this review article, the core mechanisms of ferroptosis are overviewed and the roles of ferroptosis in neurodegenerative diseases and strokes are described. Finally, the emerging findings in treating neurodegenerative diseases and strokes through pharmacological inhibition of ferroptosis are described. This review demonstrates that pharmacological inhibition of ferroptosis by bioactive small-molecule compounds (ferroptosis inhibitors) could be effective for treatments of these diseases, and highlights a potential promising therapeutic avenue that could be used to prevent neurodegenerative diseases and strokes. This review article will shed light on developing novel therapeutic regimens by pharmacological inhibition of ferroptosis to slow down the progression of these diseases in the future.

Abstract
Hemorrhagic stroke is a devastating cerebrovascular disease with high morbidity and mortality, for which effective therapies are currently unavailable. Based on different bleeding sites, hemorrhagic stroke can be generally divided into intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), whose pathogenesis share some similarity. Ferroptosis is a recently defined programmed cell deaths (PCDs), which is a critical supplement to the hypothesis on the mechanism of nervous system injury after hemorrhagic stroke. Ferroptosis is characterized by distinctive morphological changes of mitochondria and iron-dependent accumulation of lipid peroxides. Moreover, scientists have successfully demonstrated the involvement of ferroptosis in animal models of ICH and SAH, indicating that ferroptosis is a promising target for hemorrhagic stroke therapy. However, the studies on ferroptosis still faces a serious of technical and theoretical challenges. This review systematically elaborates the role of ferroptosis in the pathogenesis of hemorrhagic stroke and puts forward some opinions on the dilemma of ferroptosis research.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in preterm infants is one of the major co-morbidities of preterm birth and is associated with long-term neurodevelopmental deficits. There are currently no widely accepted treatments to prevent ICH or therapies for the neurological sequelae. With studies broadening the scope of cell death, the newly defined concept of regulated cell death has enriched our understanding of the underlying mechanisms of secondary brain injury after ICH and has suggested potential interventions in preterm infants. In this review, we will summarize the current evidence for regulated cell death pathways in preterm infants after ICH, including apoptosis, necroptosis, pyroptosis, ferroptosis, autophagy, and PANoptosis as well as several potential intervention strategies that may protect the immature brain from secondary injury after ICH through regulating regulated cell death.

Abstract
Monitoring ferroptosis-related miRNAs is crucial for the treatment and prognosis of patients with intracerebral hemorrhage. In this work, a novel hydrophobic paper (h-paper)-based plasmonic substrate was produced by dropping DS Au nanorods with a narrow range of sizes and morphologies onto h-paper. Raman reporter molecules were adsorbed to the array surface, and surface-enhanced Raman scattering spectra at randomly selected points reveal uniform and significant SERS enhancement. Hairpin DNAs labelled with Raman reporters and hybridized with placeholder DNAs were decorated on SERS substrate to fabricate SERS biosensor. Target miRNAs initiated the "inverse Molecular Sentinel" process. During the process, PHs were removed and the conformation of HPs changed toward the hairpin structure, thus eliciting the proximity of Raman reporter to substrate and a stronger SERS signal. The proposed SERS biosensor performs well in terms of stability, reproducibility, and selectivity. The limits of detection of miR-122-5p and miR-140-5p in serum were 4.17 aM and 4.49 aM, respectively. Finally, the fabricated SERS biosensor was applied to detect miR-122-5p and miR-140-5p in ICH patients and healthy subjects, and the results obtained by SERS were consistent with the results from quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, revealing the accuracy of the method. This simple, rapid approach offers great potential for the simultaneous detection of miRNAs in practical clinical applications.

[PMID: 36611883 PMCID: PMC9818318 DOI: 10.3390/cells12010090] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2022] [Revised: 12/18/2022] [Accepted: 12/21/2022] [Indexed: 12/28/2022] Open
Abstract
The method of iron-dependent cell death known as ferroptosis is distinct from apoptosis. The suppression of ferroptosis after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) will effectively treat ICH and improve prognosis. This paper primarily summarizes the mechanism of ferroptosis after ICH, with an emphasis on lipid peroxidation, the antioxidant system, iron metabolism, and other pathways. In addition, regulatory targets and drug molecules were described. Although there has been some progress in the field of study, there are still numerous gaps. The mechanism by which non-heme iron enters neurons through the blood-brain barrier (BBB), the mitochondrial role in ferroptosis, and the specific mechanism by which lipid peroxidation induces ferroptosis remain unclear and require further study. In addition, the inhibitory effect of many drugs on ferroptosis after ICH has only been demonstrated in basic experiments and must be translated into clinical trials. In summary, research on ferroptosis following ICH will play an important role in the treatment of ICH.

OIT3 serves as a novel biomarker of hepatocellular carcinoma by mediating ferroptosis via regulating the arachidonic acid metabolism. Front Oncol 2022; 12:977348.

Abstract
Background Oncoprotein-Induced Transcript 3 Protein (OIT3) was identified as a liver-specific gene with abnormal expression in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Herein, we aimed to examine the function and specific mechanism of OIT3 in HCC. Methods Bioinformatic analyses and tissue microarray via immunohistochemistry were used to validate the expression of OIT3 in HCC. The biofunctions of OIT3 in HCC were determined in vitro and in vivo. The mechanism was confirmed by RNA-Sequence and Western blotting. The uni- and multivariate analyses were used to identify the independent predictors for HCC. Results Low expression of OIT3 was observed in HCC and predicted a poor clinical outcome. Ectopic expression of OIT3 could inhibit the proliferation, migration, and invasion abilities of HCC cells. Mechanistically, OIT3 upregulated the expression of ALOX15 and CYP4F3, thus inducing arachidonic acid increase, ROS accumulation, and lipid peroxidation, and eventually causing ferroptosis. OIT3 was validated as a prognostic predictor for HCC patients. Conclusions Our findings revealed a novel role of OIT3 in the process of tumorigenesis of HCC. OIT3 inhibited reproliferation, migration, and invasion of HCC cells by triggering ferroptosis, which indicates that OIT3 could serve as a potential biomarker in HCC.

Dexpramipexole Attenuates White Matter Injury to Facilitate Locomotion and Motor Coordination Recovery via Reducing Ferroptosis after Intracerebral Hemorrhage. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2022; 2022:6160701. [PMID: 35965685 PMCID: PMC9371846 DOI: 10.1155/2022/6160701] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/05/2022] [Revised: 06/24/2022] [Accepted: 07/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
Deciphering the factors causing damage to white matter fiber bundles and exploring new strategies to alleviate white matter injury (WMI) is a promising treatment to improve neurological impairments after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Ferroptosis usually occurs at perihematomal region and contributes to neuronal death due to reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Dexpramipexole (DPX) easily crosses the blood brain barrier (BBB) and exerts antioxidative properties by reducing ROS production, while the role of DPX in ferroptosis after ICH remains elusive. Here, our results indicated that ferroptosis played a significant role in WMI resulting from iron and ROS accumulation around hematoma. Further evidence demonstrated that the administration of DPX decreased iron and ROS deposition to inhibit ferroptosis at perihematomal site. With the inhibition of ferroptosis, WMI was alleviated at perihematomal site, thereafter promoting locomotion and motor coordination recovery in mice after ICH. Subsequently, the results showcased that the expression of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) and ferroptosis suppressing protein 1 (FSP1) was upregulated with the administration of DPX. Collectively, the present study uncovers the underlying mechanism and elucidates the therapeutic effect of DPX on ICH, and even in other central nervous system (CNS) diseases with the presence of ferroptosis.

The interaction between STING and NCOA4 exacerbates lethal sepsis by orchestrating ferroptosis and inflammatory responses in macrophages. Cell Death Dis 2022; 13:653. [PMID: 35902564 PMCID: PMC9334269 DOI: 10.1038/s41419-022-05115-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2022] [Revised: 07/14/2022] [Accepted: 07/18/2022] [Indexed: 01/21/2023]
Abstract
The discovery of STING-related innate immunity has recently provided a deep mechanistic understanding of immunopathy. While the detrimental effects of STING during sepsis had been well documented, the exact mechanism by which STING causes lethal sepsis remains obscure. Through single-cell RNA sequence, genetic approaches, and mass spectrometry, we demonstrate that STING promotes sepsis-induced multiple organ injury by inducing macrophage ferroptosis in a cGAS- and interferon-independent manner. Mechanistically, Q237, E316, and S322 in the CBD domain of STING are critical binding sites for the interaction with the coiled-coil domain of NCOA4. Their interaction not only triggers ferritinophagy-mediated ferroptosis, but also maintains the stability of STING dimers leading to enhanced inflammatory response, and reduces the nuclear localization of NCOA4, which impairs the transcription factor coregulator function of NCOA4. Meanwhile, we identified HET0016 by high throughput screening, a selective 20-HETE synthase inhibitor, decreased STING-induced ferroptosis in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from patients with sepsis and mortality in septic mice model. Our findings uncover a novel mechanism by which the interaction between STING and NCOA4 regulates innate immune response and ferroptosis, which can be reversed by HET0016, providing mechanistic and promising targets insights into sepsis.
