Abstract
- [Display omitted] • HMGB1 nucleocytoplasmic translocation promoted renal inflammation and kidney injury after I/R insult. • Cytoplasmic HMGB1 induced tubular ferroptosis activation during AKI. • Binding of cytoplasmic HMGB1 to ACSL4 exacerbated kidney injury during AKI. As a damage-associated molecular pattern molecule, high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is well-studied and is released from injured tubular epithelial cells to trigger cell death. However, the role of intracellular HMGB1 induced cell death during acute kidney injury (AKI) is poorly understood. We showed that cytosolic HMGB1 induced ferroptosis by binding to acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4 (ACSL4), the driver of ferroptosis, following renal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R). Both mouse and human kidneys with acute tubular injury were characterized by nucleocytoplasmic translocation of HMGB1in tubular cells. Pharmacological inhibition of HMGB1 nucleocytoplasmic translocation and deletion of HMGB1 in tubular epithelial cells in mice inhibited I/R-induced AKI, tubular ferroptosis, and inflammation compared to those in controls. Co-immunoprecipitation and serial section staining confirmed the interaction between HMGB1 and ACSL4. Taken together, our results demonstrated that cytoplasmic HMGB1 is essential for exacerbating inflammation-associated cellular injury by activating renal tubular ferroptosis via ACSL4 after I/R injury. These findings indicate that cytoplasmic HMGB1 is a regulator of ferroptosis and a promising therapeutic target for AKI. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
