摘要
Fluoride is known to induce nephrotoxicity; however, the underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Therefore, this study aims to explore the roles and mechanisms of lysosomal membrane permeabilization (LMP) and the GSDME/HMGB1 axis in fluoride-induced nephrotoxicity and the protective effects of rutin. Rutin, a naturally occurring flavonoid compound known for its antioxidative and anti-inflammatory properties, is primarily mediated by inhibiting oxidative stress and reducing proinflammatory markers. To that end, we established in vivo and in vitro models. In the in vivo study, rats were exposed to sodium fluoride (NaF) throughout pregnancy and up until 2 months after birth. In parallel, we employed in vitro models using HK-2 cells treated with NaF, n-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC), or rutin. We assessed lysosomal permeability through immunofluorescence and analyzed relevant protein expression via western blotting. Our findings showed that NaF exposure increased ROS levels, resulting in enhanced LMP and increased cathepsin B (CTSB) and D (CTSD) expression. Furthermore, the exposure to NaF resulted in the upregulation of cleaved PARP1, cleaved caspase-3, GSDME-N, and HMGB1 expressions, indicating cell death and inflammation-induced renal damage. Rutin mitigates fluoride-induced nephrotoxicity by suppressing ROS-mediated LMP and the GSDME/HMGB1 axis, ultimately preventing fluoride-induced renal toxicity occurrence and development. In conclusion, our findings suggest that NaF induces renal damage through ROS-mediated activation of LMP and the GSDME/HMGB1 axis, leading to pyroptosis and inflammation. Rutin, a natural antioxidative and anti-inflammatory dietary supplement, offers a novel approach to prevent and treat fluoride-induced nephrotoxicity.
