Programmed cell death plays a critical role in skeletal muscle atrophy. Ferroptosis, an iron-dependent form of programmed cell death driven by lipid peroxidation, has been implicated in various diseases, but its role in skeletal muscle atrophy remains unclear.
Methods
Ferroptosis in skeletal muscle atrophy was investigated using two models: dexamethasone (Dex)-induced atrophy (n = 6 independent cell cultures per group) and simulated microgravity (n = 6 mice per group). Conditional Nestin knockout (KO) mice were generated using CRISPR/Cas9 (n = 6–8 mice per group), with wild-type (WT) controls (n = 6–8). Phenotypic analyses included histopathology (HE staining), functional assessments (muscle strength, weight analysis, treadmill), and dystrophy evaluation (dystrophin staining). Molecular analyses involved flow cytometry, ELISA, transmission electron microscopy, PI staining, and IP/MS to delineate Nestin-regulated ferroptosis pathways in skeletal muscle atrophy.
Results
Ferroptosis was significantly activated in both atrophy models, with a 2.5-fold increase in lipid peroxidation (p < 0.01), a 2-fold accumulation of Fe2+ (p < 0.01) and a 50% reduction in Nestin expression (p < 0.001). Nestin KO mice exhibited exacerbated muscle atrophy, showing a 40% decrease in muscle weight (p < 0.01) and a 30% reduction in muscle strength (p < 0.05) compared to WT mice. Nestin overexpression mitigated Dex-induced ferroptosis, reducing lipid peroxidation by 40%, decreasing Fe2+ accumulation by 50% (p < 0.01), and improving muscle function by 30% (p < 0.05). Mechanistically, Nestin interacted with MAP 1LC3B (LC3B) to catalyse LC3B polyubiquitination at lysine-51, reducing LC3B availability for autophagy and inhibiting autophagy flux by 60% (p < 0.01), leading to a 50% reduction in ferroptosis (p < 0.001).
Conclusions
Our study identifies Nestin as a critical regulator of ferroptosis-autophagy crosstalk in skeletal muscle atrophy. Targeting Nestin-LC3B ubiquitination may offer novel therapeutic strategies for preventing muscle wasting in diseases such as cachexia and sarcopenia.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle is a peer-reviewed international journal dedicated to publishing materials related to cachexia and sarcopenia, as well as body composition and its physiological and pathophysiological changes across the lifespan and in response to various illnesses from all fields of life sciences. The journal aims to provide a reliable resource for professionals interested in related research or involved in the clinical care of affected patients, such as those suffering from AIDS, cancer, chronic heart failure, chronic lung disease, liver cirrhosis, chronic kidney failure, rheumatoid arthritis, or sepsis.
