Abstract
Background: Post-hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) is a fatal complication of hepatectomy. However, the mechanism of hepatocyte injury in PHLF remains elusive.
Methods: PHLF was induced by extended 86% hepatectomy (eHx) in mice. Lipidomics was performed to investigate the eHx-induced lipid alteration in the residual liver. Ferroptosis was assessed to screen the hepatocyte injury induced by eHx. The therapeutic effects of ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1) on PHLF were evaluated.
Results: PHLF was induced by eHx with elevation in markers of hepatocyte injury and mortality in mice within 48 h after surgery. eHx-induced hepatocyte injury was manifested by hepatocyte enlargement and hepatocyte death with glycogen depletion and lipid accumulation. Lipidomics revealed that eHx induced the accumulation of ferroptosis-favored polyunsaturated lipids. Ferroptosis was found to mediate the eHx-induced hepatocyte death in the residual liver during the development of PHLF. Fer-1 could attenuate the eHx-induced ferroptotic hepatocyte death and PHLF in mice.
Conclusions: Ferroptosis partly mediates the eHx-induced hepatocyte injury during the development of PHLF. Accumulation of polyunsaturated lipids in hepatocytes may promote eHx-induced ferroptosis, and targeting lipid peroxidation is a potential therapeutic strategy for PHLF.
