Inhibition of ubiquitin-specific protease 7 ameliorates ferroptosis-mediated myocardial infarction by contrasting oxidative stress: An in vitro and in vivo analysis
Background
Our prior research determined that USP7 exacerbates myocardial injury. Additionally, existing studies indicate a strong connection between USP7 and ferroptosis. However, the influence of USP7 on ferroptosis-mediated myocardial infarction (MI) remains unclear. Given these findings, we are particularly interested in USP7's regulatory role in ferroptosis-mediated MI and its underlying mechanisms.
Methods
In this study, we established MI models and lentivirus-transfected groups to inhibit USP7 expression both in vivo and in vitro. Cardiac function was detected with Echocardiography. TTC and HE staining were employed to assess myocardial alterations. The expression of ferroptosis markers (PTGS2, ACSL4, GPX4) were analyzed by RT-qPCR and Western blotting. Flow cytometry and ELISA were used for measuring Fe2+, lipid ROS, GSH, and GSSG levels. TEM and Prussian blue staining were used to observe mitochondrial alterations and iron deposition. RT-qPCR, Western blotting, and immunofluorescence were conducted to analyze Keap1, Nrf2, and nuclear Nrf2 expression in vitro and in vivo.
Results
In the MI model group, USP7 expression significantly increased, worsening ferroptosis-mediated MI. Conversely, in the USP7-inhibited group, activation of the Keap1-Nrf2 signaling pathway improved ferroptosis-mediated MI outcomes. In vitro, the MI model exhibited a marked decline in cardiomyocyte viability and notable mitochondrial damage. However, these issues improved in the USP7-inhibited groups. In vivo, USP7 intensified MI and iron deposition within the MI model group, with decreased values of LVEF, LVFS, SV, LVAWd, and LVPWs, all of which showed improvement in the USP7-inhibited group, except for LVPWd and LVPWs, which showed no significant variation. Importantly, both the in vitro and in vivo experiments revealed analogous results: a reduction in Keap1 expression and an increase in both Nrf2 and nuclear Nrf2 post USP7 inhibition. Additionally, GPX4 expression decreased while PTGS2 and ACSL4 expressions increased. Notably, concentrations of Fe2+, lipid ROS, GSH, and GSSG significantly decreased.
Conclusion
In vitro and in vivo studies have found that inhibition of USP7 attenuates iron deposition and suppresses oxidative stress, resulting in amelioration of ferroptosis-induced MI.
