Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) is a persistent organic pollutant widely utilized in industrial manufacturing and daily life, leading to significant environmental accumulation and various public health issues. This study aims to characterize spliceosome-associated protein 130 (SAP130) as a key mediator of crosstalk between hepatocytes and macrophages, elucidating its role in PFOS-induced liver inflammation. The data demonstrate that PFOS exposure induces ferroptosis in mouse liver and AML12 cells. During ferroptosis, SAP130 is released from injured hepatocytes into the microenvironment, binding to macrophage-inducible C-type lectin (Mincle) and activating the Mincle/Syk signaling pathway in macrophages, ultimately promoting M1 polarization and exacerbating liver injury. Treatment with the ferroptosis inhibitor Ferrostatin-1 reduces SAP130 release, inhibits Mincle/Syk signaling activation, and mitigates inflammatory response. Furthermore, siSAP130 suppresses the activation of the Mincle signaling pathway and M1 polarization in BMDM cells. Conversely, treatment with the ferroptosis agonist Erastin enhances paracrine secretion of SAP130 and exacerbates inflammation. These findings emphasize the significance of hepatocyte-macrophage crosstalk as a critical pathway for PFOS-induced liver injury in mice while highlighting SAP130 as a pivotal regulator of ferroptosis and inflammation, thereby elucidating the potential mechanism of PFOS-induced liver injury.
全氟辛烷磺酸 (PFOS) 是一种广泛应用于工业制造和日常生活的持久性有机污染物,导致了大量的环境积累和各种公共健康问题。本研究旨在将剪接体相关蛋白 130 (SAP130) 鉴定为肝细胞和巨噬细胞之间串扰的关键介质,阐明其在 PFOS 诱导的肝脏炎症中的作用。研究数据表明,PFOS 暴露会诱导小鼠肝脏和 AML12 细胞发生铁死亡。在铁死亡过程中,SAP130 从受损的肝细胞释放到微环境中,与巨噬细胞诱导型 C 型凝集素 (Mincle) 结合并激活巨噬细胞中的 Mincle/Syk 信号通路,最终促进 M1 极化并加重肝脏损伤。铁死亡抑制剂 Ferrostatin-1 的处理可减少 SAP130 的释放,抑制 Mincle/Syk 信号通路的激活,并减轻炎症反应。此外,siSAP130 可抑制 BMDM 细胞中 Mincle 信号通路的激活和 M1 极化。相反,铁死亡激动剂 Erastin 的处理增强了 SAP130 的旁分泌分泌并加重了炎症。这些发现强调了肝细胞-巨噬细胞串扰作为 PFOS 诱导的小鼠肝脏损伤的关键途径的重要性,同时突出了 SAP130 作为铁死亡和炎症的关键调节剂的作用,从而阐明了 PFOS 诱导的肝脏损伤的潜在机制。
