Ferroptosis plays a role in wound healing during the maturation of senescent endothelial cells. This study explores the modulation of ferroptosis in senescent human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and wound-healing processes by Piezo1 activation at the molecular, cellular, and tissue levels. Elevated Piezo1 expression was observed in HUVECs treated with the senescence inducer doxorubicin (Doxo) and the ferroptosis inducer erastin and in aged wound tissue. Pharmacological inhibition or knockdown of Piezo1 protected senescent HUVECs and aged wound tissue from ferroptosis. Additionally, Piezo1 channel activity was found to promote ferroptosis in senescent HUVECs by increasing intracellular Ca levels. The calmodulin-dependent kinase II (CaMKII)/activating transcription factor 3 (ATF3)/SLC7A11 signaling axis was activated upon stimulation with erastin and Doxo, driving Piezo1-induced ferroptosis. CaMKII directly interacted with ATF3, which could be modulated through Piezo1 channel regulation. Notably, Piezo1 knockout mice or adeno-associated virus 9-mediated silencing of ATF3 attenuated ferroptosis in senescent cells and accelerated wound repair. Mechanistically, both genetic and pharmacological inhibition of Piezo1 promoted wound healing in aged tissues and regulated ferroptosis in senescent HUVECs through the CaMKII/ATF3/SLC7A11 pathway. In conclusion, these findings suggest that targeting Piezo1-mediated ferroptosis in senescent HUVECs offers a promising therapeutic approach for improving wound healing in the elderly.
铁死亡在衰老内皮细胞成熟过程中的伤口愈合中发挥作用。本研究在分子、细胞和组织水平上探索了Piezo1激活对衰老的人脐静脉内皮细胞(HUVECs)中铁死亡及伤口愈合过程的调节作用。在用衰老诱导剂阿霉素(Doxo)和铁死亡诱导剂erastin处理的HUVECs以及老年伤口组织中观察到Piezo1表达升高。Piezo1的药理学抑制或敲低可保护衰老的HUVECs和老年伤口组织免受铁死亡。此外,发现Piezo1通道活性通过增加细胞内钙水平促进衰老HUVECs中的铁死亡。在用erastin和Doxo刺激后,钙调蛋白依赖性激酶II(CaMKII)/激活转录因子3(ATF3)/溶质载体家族7成员11(SLC7A11)信号轴被激活,驱动Piezo1诱导的铁死亡。CaMKII直接与ATF3相互作用,这可以通过Piezo1通道调节来调控。值得注意的是,Piezo1基因敲除小鼠或腺相关病毒9介导的ATF3沉默可减轻衰老细胞中的铁死亡并加速伤口修复。从机制上讲,Piezo1的基因和药理学抑制均通过CaMKII/ATF3/SLC7A11途径促进老年组织中的伤口愈合并调节衰老HUVECs中的铁死亡。总之,这些发现表明,针对衰老HUVECs中Piezo1介导的铁死亡提供了一种有前景的治疗方法,可改善老年人的伤口愈合。
