摘要
Glutathione (GSH) protects against oxidative damage in many tissues, including retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). Oxidative stress-mediated senescence and death of RPE and subsequent death of photoreceptors have been observed in age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Although the consequences of GSH depletion have been described previously, questions remain regarding the molecular mechanisms. We herein examined the downstream effects of GSH depletion on stress-induced premature senescence (SIPS) and cell death in human RPE cells. Briefly, cultured ARPE-19 cells were depleted of GSH using: (1) incubation in cystine (Cys(2))-free culture medium; (2) treatment with buthionine sulphoximine (BSO, 1000 mu M) to block de novo GSH synthesis for 24-48 h; or (3) treatment with erastin (10 mu M for 12-24 h) to inhibit Cys(2)/glutamate antiporter (system x(c)(-)). These treatments decreased cell viability and increased both soluble and lipid reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation but did not affect mitochondrial ROS or mitochondrial mass. Western blot analysis revealed decreased expression of ferroptotic modulator glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4). Increased autophagy was apparent, as reflected by increased LC3 expression, autophagic vacuoles, and autophagic flux. In addition, GSH depletion induced SIPS, as evidenced by increased percentage of the senescence-associated ss-galactosidase-positive cells, increased senescence-associated heterochromatin foci (SAHF), as well as cell cycle arrest at the G1 phase. GSH depletion-dependent cell death was prevented by selective ferroptosis inhibitors (8 mu M Fer-1 and 600 nM Lip-1), iron chelator DFO (80 mu M), as well as autophagic inhibitors Baf-A1 (75 nM) and 3-MA (10 mM). Inhibiting autophagy with Baf-A1 (75 nM) or 3-MA (10 mM) promoted SIPS. In contrast, inducing autophagy with rapamycin (100 nM) attenuated SIPS. Our findings suggest that GSH depletion induces ferroptosis, autophagy, and SIPS. In addition, we found that autophagy is activated in the process of ferroptosis and reduces SIPS, suggesting an essential role of autophagy in ferroptosis and SIPS.
