TIMP1 regulates ferroptosis in osteoblasts by inhibiting TFRC ubiquitination: an in vitro and in vivo study.
Background: In clinical practice, alterations in the internal environment of type 2 diabetes can significantly affect bone quality. While the increased risk of fractures among diabetic patients is well-established, the precise mechanisms by which hyperglycemia influences bone quality remain largely unclear.
Methods: Western blotting, immunohistochemistry (IHC), and micro-CT were used to examine ferroptosis-related protein expression and bone morphology changes in the bone tissues of type 2 diabetic mice. The CCK8 assay determined the optimal conditions for inducing ferroptosis in osteoblasts by high glucose and high fat (HGHF). Ferroptosis phenotypes in osteoblasts were analyzed using flow cytometry, Western blotting, and two-photon laser confocal microscopy. Transcriptomic sequencing of the control and HGHF groups, followed by bioinformatic analysis, identified and validated key genes. TIMP1 was knocked down in osteoblasts to assess its impact on ferroptosis, while TFRC expression was inhibited and activated to verify the role of TIMP1 in regulating ferroptosis through TFRC. The therapeutic effect of TIMP1 inhibition on osteoporosis was evaluated in a type 2 diabetic mouse model.
Results: The expression of TIMP1 is increased in type 2 diabetic osteoporosis. In vitro, TIMP1 knockout inhibited ferroptosis in osteoblasts induced by high glucose and high fat (HGHF). However, overexpression of TFRC reversed the ferroptosis inhibition caused by TIMP1 knockout. Suppression of TIMP1 expression alleviated the progression of osteoporosis in type 2 diabetic mice. Mechanistic studies suggest that TIMP1 regulates HGHF-induced ferroptosis in osteoblasts through TFRC.
Conclusion: This study demonstrates that TIMP1 expression is increased during type 2 diabetic osteoporosis and that TIMP1 promotes ferroptosis in osteoblasts by regulating TFRC. These findings suggest that TIMP1 is a promising novel therapeutic target for type 2 diabetic osteoporosis.
期刊介绍:
Molecular Medicine is an open access journal that focuses on publishing recent findings related to disease pathogenesis at the molecular or physiological level. These insights can potentially contribute to the development of specific tools for disease diagnosis, treatment, or prevention. The journal considers manuscripts that present material pertinent to the genetic, molecular, or cellular underpinnings of critical physiological or disease processes. Submissions to Molecular Medicine are expected to elucidate the broader implications of the research findings for human disease and medicine in a manner that is accessible to a wide audience.
