ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Asthma is a chronic inflammatory airway disease. Current treatments have limited efficacy and often cause severe side effects. Wuwei Shaji Powder (WSP), a traditional Mongolian remedy, is used for treating chronic pulmonary diseases, but its efficacy against asthma and underlying mechanisms are still unclear.
AIM OF THE STUDY: To investigate the therapeutic effect of WSP on asthma and elucidate its molecular mechanisms.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: An ovalbumin (OVA)-induced allergic asthma model was established in rats. Ferroptosis or apoptosis was induced in BEAS-2B cells using Erastin or CdCl2. Various techniques including histopathological staining, ELISA, Western blot, flow cytometry, and transmission electron microscopy were employed to assess WSP's effects and mechanisms.
RESULTS: WSP alleviated OVA-induced allergic asthma in rats without the immunosuppressive side effects observed with dexamethasone. WSP suppressed ferroptosis in bronchial epithelial cells both in vivo and in vitro. It reduced thiol- and sulfonic-based oxidative stress through Keap1 S-sulfhydration, disrupted the Keap1-Nrf2 interaction, and promoted Nrf2 nuclear translocation. Notably, we discovered that CdCl2 can induce ferroptosis in BEAS-2B cells, and WSP prevented both ferroptosis and apoptosis in these cells.
CONCLUSION: WSP alleviates OVA-induced allergic asthma by protecting bronchial epithelial cells from ferroptosis via S-sulfhydration of Keap1, providing new insights for its clinical application.
