Abstract
Iron overload causes mitochondrial damage, and then activates mitophagy, which may directly trigger and amplify ferroptosis. Our objective was to investigate whether Escherichia coli (E. coli) isolated from clinical bovine mastitis induces ferroptosis in bovine mammary epithelial cells (bMECs) and if so, the underlying regulatory mechanism. E. coli infection caused mitochondrial damage, mitophagy, and ferroptosis. Rapamycin and chloroquine increased and suppressed ferroptosis, respectively, in E. coli-treated bMECs. Moreover, E. coli infection activated the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, but foscenvivint alleviated it. In conclusion, E. coli infection induced ferroptosis through activation of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway-promoted mitophagy, and it also suppressed GPX4 expression.
期刊介绍:
Mitochondrion is a definitive, high profile, peer-reviewed international research journal. The scope of Mitochondrion is broad, reporting on basic science of mitochondria from all organisms and from basic research to pathology and clinical aspects of mitochondrial diseases. The journal welcomes original contributions from investigators working in diverse sub-disciplines such as evolution, biophysics, biochemistry, molecular and cell biology, genetics, pharmacology, toxicology, forensic science, programmed cell death, aging, cancer and clinical features of mitochondrial diseases.
