PG - 188 LID - 10.1186/s12951-023-01951-x [doi] LID - 188 AB - BACKGROUND: Ferroptosis, a unique form of non-apoptotic cell death, is dependent on iron and lipoperoxidation, and has been shown to be associated with the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes (hucMSC-Ex) are involved in cell survival, immune conditioning, and damage repair. However, the relationship between hucMSC-Ex, IBD, and ferroptosis is unknown. This paper explores the role of hucMSC-Ex in the repair of IBD through the regulation of the ferroptosis signaling pathway. RESULTS: In this study, we used small RNA sequencing to find that miR-129-5p was highly expressed in hucMSC-Ex, and by predicting its targeting to ACSL4, we verified the effect of miR-129-5p on mice IBD in vitro and human colonic epithelial cells (HCoEpiC) in vivo. We found that miR-129-5p reduces ferroptosis in intestinal epithelial cells by targeting ACSL4 to repair IBD, which provides new strategies for the prevention and treatment of IBD. CONCLUSION: In conclusion, our results demonstrate that hucMSC-Ex relieves IBD by targeting ACSL4 with miR-129-5p to inhibit lipid peroxidation (LPO) and ferroptosis, reducing intestinal inflammation and repairing damages. Mechanism of hucMSC-Ex inhibiting ferroptosis in intestinal epithelial cells. System Xc(-) mediates the transport of extracellular cystine into the cell, which gets reduced to cysteine to participate in GSH-mediated metabolism. GPX4 strongly inhibits ferroptosis by helping scavenge reactive oxygen species. The depletion of GSH correlates with decreased GPX4, and the imbalance of the antioxidant system leads to the formation of toxic phospholipid hydroperoxide, which promotes the occurrence of ferroptosis with the participation of irons. HucMSC-Ex has the ability to relieve GSH and GPX4 depletion and repair the intracellular antioxidant system. Ferric ions enter the cytosol through DMT1 and participate in lipid peroxidation. HucMSC-Ex can reduce the expression of DMT1 and alleviate this process. HucMSC-Ex-derived miR-129-5p targets ACSL4 and reduces the expression of ACSL4, an enzyme that mediates the conversion of PUFAs into phospholipids in intestinal epithelial cells, and is a positive regulator of lipid peroxidation.
