Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent programmed cell death form resulting from lipid peroxidation damage, it plays a key role in organ damage and tumor development from various causes. Sepsis leads to severe host response after infection with high mortality. The long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) are involved in different pathophysiological mechanisms of multiple diseases. Here, we used cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) operation to mimic sepsis induced myocardial injury (SIMI) in mouse model, and LncRNAs and mRNAs were profiled by Arraystar mouse LncRNA Array V3.0. Based on the microarray results, 552 LncRNAs and 520 mRNAs were differentially expressed in the sham and CLP groups, among them, LncRNA Lcn2-204 was the highest differentially expressed up-regulated LncRNA. Iron metabolism disorder was involved in SIMI by bioinformatics analysis, meanwhile, myocardial iron content and lipocalin-2 (Lcn2) protein expressions were increased. The CNC network comprised 137 positive interactions and 138 negative interactions. Bioinformatics analysis showed several iron-related terms were enriched and six genes (Scara5, Tfrc, Lcn2, Cp, Clic5, Ank1) were closely associated with iron metabolism. Then, we constructed knockdown LncRNA Lcn2-204 targeting myocardium and found that it ameliorated cardiac injury in mouse sepsis model through modulating iron overload and ferroptosis. In addition, we found that LncRNA Lcn2-204 was involved in the regulation of Lcn2 expression in septic myocardial injury. Based on these findings, we conclude that iron overload and ferroptosis are the key mechanisms leading to myocardial injury in sepsis, knockdown of LncRNA Lcn2-204 plays the cardioprotective effect through inhibition of iron overload, ferroptosis and Lcn2 expression. It may provide a novel therapeutic approach to ameliorate sepsis-induced myocardial injury.
铁死亡是一种依赖于铁的程序性细胞死亡形式,由脂质过氧化损伤引起,它在各种原因引起的器官损伤和肿瘤发展中起关键作用。脓毒症是一种感染后宿主发生剧烈全身炎症反应的临床综合征,具有高病死率。长链非编码 RNA(lncRNA)参与多种疾病的不同病理生理机制。在这里,我们使用盲肠结扎和穿孔(CLP)手术模拟脓毒症诱导的心肌损伤(SIMI)在小鼠模型中,通过 Arraystar 小鼠 lncRNA 芯片 V3.0 对 lncRNA 和 mRNA 进行了分析。基于微阵列结果,在 sham 和 CLP 组中,有 552 个 lncRNA 和 520 个 mRNA 差异表达,其中 LncRNA Lcn2-204 是差异表达上调最多的 lncRNA。生物信息学分析表明,SIMI 中存在铁代谢紊乱,同时心肌铁含量和脂联素-2(Lcn2)蛋白表达增加。CNC 网络包含 137 个正相互作用和 138 个负相互作用。生物信息学分析表明,几个与铁相关的术语被富集,六个基因(Scara5、Tfrc、Lcn2、Cp、Clic5、Ank1)与铁代谢密切相关。然后,我们构建了针对心肌的靶向 LncRNA Lcn2-204 的敲低,发现它通过调节铁过载和铁死亡改善了小鼠脓毒症模型中的心脏损伤。此外,我们发现 LncRNA Lcn2-204 参与了脓毒性心肌损伤中 Lcn2 表达的调节。基于这些发现,我们得出结论,铁过载和铁死亡是导致脓毒症心肌损伤的关键机制,敲低 LncRNA Lcn2-204 通过抑制铁过载、铁死亡和 Lcn2 表达发挥心脏保护作用。它可能为改善脓毒症引起的心肌损伤提供一种新的治疗方法。
