BACKGROUND: Sepsis-induced pulmonary injury (SPI) is a common complication of sepsis with a high rate of mortality. N4-acetylcytidine (ac4C) is mediated by the ac4C "writer", N-acetyltransferase (NAT)10, to regulate the stabilization of mRNA. This study aimed to investigate the role of NAT10 in SPI and the underlying mechanism.
METHODS: Twenty-three acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients and 27 non-ARDS volunteers were recruited. A sepsis rat model was established. Reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to detect the expression of NAT10 and transferrin receptor (TFRC). Cell viability was detected by cell counting kit-8. The levels of Fe2+, glutathione, and malondialdehyde were assessed by commercial kits. Lipid reactive oxygen species production was measured by flow cytometric analysis. Western blot was used to detect ferroptosis-related protein levels. Haematoxylin & eosin staining was performed to observe the pulmonary pathological symptoms.
RESULTS: The results showed that NAT10 was increased in ARDS patients and lipopolysaccharide-treated human lung microvascular endothelial cell line-5a (HULEC-5a) cells. NAT10 inhibition increased cell viability and decreased ferroptosis in HULEC-5a cells. TFRC was a downstream regulatory target of NAT10-mediated ac4C acetylation. Overexpression of TFRC decreased cell viability and promoted ferroptosis. In in vivo study, NAT10 inhibition alleviated SPI.
CONCLUSION: NAT10-mediated ac4C acetylation of TFRC aggravated SPI through promoting ferroptosis.
