Abstract
Dysregulation in placental trophoblast cells frequently results in oxidative stress, culminating in pregnancy-related complications. While iron is essential for fetal development, cellular ferroptosis due to elevated iron levels might mediate the emergence of preeclampsia (PE), presenting significant risks during gestation. We found abnormally activated oxidative stress and increased iron concentration in the placental tissues of PE patients. Subsequently, we treated placental trophoblasts with hydrogen peroxide and RSL3 to induce oxidative stress and ferroptosis models. The results revealed that SIRT6 overexpression activates the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway, restores the oxidative imbalance of the cells, and protects the cells from ferroptosis. Meanwhile, activation of the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway alone showed similar results. Thus, we posit that SIRT6, via the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway, alleviates cellular oxidative stress and diminishes ferroptosis, offering a novel therapeutic avenue for PE.
期刊介绍:
Tissue and Cell is devoted to original research on the organization of cells, subcellular and extracellular components at all levels, including the grouping and interrelations of cells in tissues and organs. The journal encourages submission of ultrastructural studies that provide novel insights into structure, function and physiology of cells and tissues, in health and disease. Bioengineering and stem cells studies focused on the description of morphological and/or histological data are also welcomed.
Studies investigating the effect of compounds and/or substances on structure of cells and tissues are generally outside the scope of this journal. For consideration, studies should contain a clear rationale on the use of (a) given substance(s), have a compelling morphological and structural focus and present novel incremental findings from previous literature.
