OBJECTIVE: Aortic dissection (AD) is a prevalent and acute clinical catastrophe characterized by abrupt manifestation, swift progression, and elevated fatality rates. Despite smoking being a significant risk factor for AD, the precise pathological process remains elusive. This investigation endeavors to explore the mechanisms by which smoking accelerates AD through ferroptosis induction.
METHODOLOGY: In this novel study, we detected considerable endothelial cell death by ferroptosis within the aortic inner lining of both human AD patients with a smoking history and murine AD models induced by β-aminopropionitrile, angiotensin II, and nicotine. Utilizing bioinformatic approaches, we identified microRNAs regulating the expression of the ferroptosis inhibitor Glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4). Nicotine's impact on ferroptosis was further assessed in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) through modulation of miR-1909-5p. Additionally, the therapeutic potential of miR-1909-5p antagomir was evaluated in vivo in nicotine-exposed AD mice.
FINDINGS: Our results indicate a predominance of ferroptosis over apoptosis, pyroptosis, and necroptosis in the aortas of AD patients who smoke. Nicotine exposure instigated ferroptosis in HUVECs, where the miR-1909-5p/GPX4 axis was implicated. Modulation of miR-1909-5p in these cells revealed its regulatory role over GPX4 levels and subsequent endothelial ferroptosis. In vivo, miR-1909-5p suppression reduced ferroptosis and mitigated AD progression in the murine model.
CONCLUSIONS: Our data underscore the involvement of the miR-1909-5p/GPX4 axis in the pathogenesis of nicotine-induced endothelial ferroptosis in AD.
