USP38 exacerbates myocardial injury and malignant ventricular arrhythmias after ischemia/reperfusion by promoting ferroptosis through the P53/SLC7A11 pathway
Introduction
Myocardial ischemia–reperfusion (I/R) leads to myocardial injury and malignant ventricular arrhythmias (VAs). Ferroptosis is a novel form of cell death that plays a role in myocardial injury after I/R. Ubiquitin-specific protease 38 (USP38), a member of the deubiquitinating enzyme family, is involved in regulating the progression of inflammation and tumors, but its role in myocardial I/R and ferroptosis is unclear.
Objectives
Herein, we explored whether USP38 regulates myocardial I/R-induced ferroptosis and the development of malignant arrhythmias and underlying mechanisms.
Methods
In this study, cardiac I/R mice model was established by ligating/loosening the left anterior descending artery, and the effects of USP38 on I/R-induced ferroptosis and VAs susceptibility were investigated using USP38 cardiac conditional knockout (USP38-CKO) mice and USP38 cardiac specific overexpression (USP38-TG) mice. In addition, an in vitro I/R model was constructed by hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) for further validation.
Results
Our study showed that USP38 expression was significantly increased after I/R. USP38-CKO significantly inhibited I/R-induced iron overload, ROS production, and lipid peroxidation. In addition, USP38-CKO ameliorates post-I/R electrophysiologic abnormalities and reduces susceptibility to VAs. USP38-TG showed the opposite effect, exacerbating ferroptosis and increasing susceptibility to VAs after I/R. In vivo experiments similarly demonstrated that USP38 significantly exacerbated H/R-induced ferroptosis. Mechanistically, USP38 directly interacts with P53 and regulates the ubiquitination level of P53 and downstream SLC7A11 expression.
Conclusion
We found that ferroptosis was significantly associated with VAs after I/R. USP38 can modulate myocardial injury and VAs susceptibility by affecting ferroptosis, which may be related to the P53/SLC7A11 pathway.
期刊介绍:
International Immunopharmacology is the primary vehicle for the publication of original research papers pertinent to the overlapping areas of immunology, pharmacology, cytokine biology, immunotherapy, immunopathology and immunotoxicology. Review articles that encompass these subjects are also welcome.
The subject material appropriate for submission includes:
• Clinical studies employing immunotherapy of any type including the use of: bacterial and chemical agents; thymic hormones, interferon, lymphokines, etc., in transplantation and diseases such as cancer, immunodeficiency, chronic infection and allergic, inflammatory or autoimmune disorders.
• Studies on the mechanisms of action of these agents for specific parameters of immune competence as well as the overall clinical state.
• Pre-clinical animal studies and in vitro studies on mechanisms of action with immunopotentiators, immunomodulators, immunoadjuvants and other pharmacological agents active on cells participating in immune or allergic responses.
• Pharmacological compounds, microbial products and toxicological agents that affect the lymphoid system, and their mechanisms of action.
• Agents that activate genes or modify transcription and translation within the immune response.
• Substances activated, generated, or released through immunologic or related pathways that are pharmacologically active.
• Production, function and regulation of cytokines and their receptors.
• Classical pharmacological studies on the effects of chemokines and bioactive factors released during immunological reactions.
