TITLE: Study on the mechanism of cordycepin inhibiting ferroptosis via the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway to delay the transformation from AKI to CKD
摘要: 目的 研究虫草素延缓急性肾损伤(AKI)向慢性肾脏病(CKD)(以下简称“AKI-CKD”)转化的作用机制。方法采用网络药理学和生物信息学分析并预测虫草素延缓AKI-CKD的信号通路及其与铁死亡途径的关系。采用细胞实验对预测结果进行验证:将人肾小管上皮细胞HK-2分为空白组、虫草素组、模型组、H2O2+虫草素组,除空白组和虫草素组外,其余各组加入150μmol/LH2O2处理72h以诱导细胞持续性氧化应激损伤;虫草素(40μmol/L)干预72h后,检测细胞中谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶4(GPX4)、长链脂酰辅酶A合成酶4(ACSL4)、核转录因子红系2相关因子2(Nrf2)、血红素加氧酶1(HO-1)蛋白和mRNA表达水平。另在H2O2+虫草素的基础上引入Nrf2抑制剂ML385以验证Nrf2/HO-1通路的作用。结果网络药理学及生物信息学分析结果显示,虫草素与AKI-CKD及铁死亡相关的交集基因有42个,其中38个被注释为铁死亡相关基因;HO-1与Nrf2可能是虫草素抑制铁死亡的重要靶点,虫草素与Nrf2、HO-1蛋白的结合能分别为-8.5、-6.7kcal/mol。细胞实验结果显示,与模型组比较,H2O2+虫草素组细胞中GPX4、Nrf2、HO-1蛋白和mRNA表达水平均显著升高(P<0.05),ACSL4蛋白和mRNA表达水平均显著降低(P<0.05);加入Nrf2抑制剂ML385后,虫草素对上述蛋白和mRNA的作用被显著逆转(P<0.05)。结论虫草素可通过激活Nrf2/HO-1通路抑制铁死亡,减轻肾小管上皮细胞持续性氧化应激损伤,延缓AKI-CKD进展。
ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE To investigate the mechanism of cordycepin in delaying the transformation from acute kidney injury (AKI) to chronic kidney disease (CKD) (short for “AKI-CKD”). METHODS Network pharmacology and bioinformatics were used to analyze and predict the signaling pathways of cordycepin in delaying AKI-CKD progression and its relationship with the ferroptosis pathway. Cell experiments were performed to verify the predicted results. Human renal tubular epithelial HK-2 cells were divided into blank group, cordycepin group, model group, and H 2 O 2 +cordycepin group. Except for the blank group and cordycepin group, all other groups were treated with 150 μmol/L H 2 O 2 for 72 h to induce persistent oxidative stress injury in cells. After 72 h of cordycepin (40 μmol/L) intervention, the protein and mRNA expression levels of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase 4 (ACSL4),nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2(Nrf2), and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) in cells were detected. Furthermore, the Nrf2 inhibitor ML385 was added on the basis of H 2 O 2 +cordycepin to verify the role of the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway. RESULTS Network pharmacology and bioinformatics analysis showed that there were 42 overlapping genes related to AKI-CKD and ferroptosis that interact with cordycepin ferroptosis, among which 38 were annotated as ferroptosis-related genes. HO-1 and Nrf2 might be important targets for cordycepin to inhibit ferroptosis. The binding energies of cordycepin with Nrf2 and HO-1 proteins were -8.5 and -6.7 kcal/mol, respectively. Cell experiments showed that compared with the model group, the protein and mRNA expression levels of GPX4, Nrf2 and HO-1 were significantly increased ( P <0.05),while the protein and mRNA expression levels of ACSL4 were significantly decrease d ( P <0.05) in the H 2 O 2 +cordycepin group. After the addition of the Nrf2 inhibitor ML385, the effects of cordycepin on the above proteins and mRNA were significantly reversed ( P <0.05). CONCLUSIONS Cordycepin can inhibit ferroptosis by activating the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway, reduce persistent oxidative stress injury of renal tubular epithelial cells, and delay the progression of AKI-CKD.
