摘要

Background/Objectives: Homocysteine (Hcy) and iron are factors co-related with the progression of cardiovascular diseases. The vascular endothelium is an important barrier for physiological homeostasis, and its impairment initiates cardiovascular injury. However, the mechanism underlying Hcy-caused vascular endothelial cell injury and the participation of iron are not fully elucidated. This study aims to investigate the Hcy-induced vascular endothelial injury and iron metabolism dysfunction as well as the underlying molecular mechanism. Methods: Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were employed as the experimental model to examine the Hcy-induced endothelial injury and its underlying mechanism via various biochemical assays. Results: Hcy suppressed the cell viability and proliferation and caused cell death in a concentration-dependent manner. Hcy induced cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, and autophagy as well as impairment of intracellular energy metabolism. Hcy disrupted the intracellular antioxidant system and mitochondrial function by increasing intracellular ROS, MDA and mitochondrial content, and decreasing the SOD activity and mitochondrial membrane potential. Hcy significantly reduced the GSH-Px activity along with the accumulation of intracellular GSH in a concentration-dependent manner. Ferroptosis inhibitors, Ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1), and Deferoxamine (DFO) significantly decreased the Hcy-caused cytotoxicity accompanied by a reduction in dysregulated mitochondria content, but only DFO ameliorated the elevation of intracellular ROS, and neither Fer-1 nor DFO affected the Hcy-caused reduction in intracellular ATP. In addition, Hcy decreased the intracellular concentration of iron, and supplementing Hcy with various concentrations of Fe3+ increased the cell viability and decreased the LDH release in a concentration-dependent manner. Hcy dramatically decreased the mRNA expression level of transferrin receptor while increasing the mRNA expression levels of transferrin, ferritin light chain, ferritin heavy chain, ferroportin, and SLC7A11. Moreover, Hcy suppressed the protein expression of phospho-Akt, phospho-mTOR, Beclin-1, LC3A/B, Nrf2, HO-1, phospho-MEK1/2, phospho-ERK1/2, and Caspase-3 in concentration- and time-dependent manners. Conclusions: Hcy-induced vascular endothelial injury is likely to be associated with apoptosis and autophagy, but not ferroptosis. The key underlying mechanisms are involved in the disruption of the intracellular antioxidant system and iron metabolism via regulation of PI3K/Akt/mTOR, MAPKs, Nrf2/HO-1, and iron metabolism.
