摘要
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is an inflammatory disorder associated with multiple organ failure. Pyroptosis and ferroptosis are two newly recognized cell death, and whether pyroptosis and ferroptosis are involved in AP remain largely elusive. The nature compound Wedelolactone (Wed) exhibits strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities, the present study aims to investigate the effect of Wed on AP and unravel whether Wed could protect against AP and relevant lung injury against pyroptosis and ferroptosis. Our results showed that the pyroptosis inhibitor disulfiram or ferroptosis inhibitor ferrostatin-1 significantly alleviated AP and associated lung injury in the taurocholate or caerulein-induced murine AP model. Administration with Wed ameliorated AP and lung injury as evidenced by improved pathological injuries, reduced serum pancreatic digestive enzymes, and proinflammatory cytokines. The in vivo and in vitro data demonstrated that Wed broadly inhibited caspase1/caspase11 activation, reduced mature interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and N-terminal domain of gasdermin D (GSDMD-N) level. The oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation were also suppressed along with the up-regulation of the ferroptosis antagonism marker glutathione peroxidase-4 (GPX4) in Wed treatment group. Wed promoted the transcriptional activity and the selenium sensitivity of GPX4. Moreover, the protective effects of Wed in caerulein-stimulated pancreatic acinar cells were markedly abrogated by the down-regulation of GPX4. Collectively, our data suggest that pyroptosis and ferroptosis play crucial roles in AP. Wed mitigated AP and associated lung injury via GPX4 mediated suppression of pyroptosis and ferroptosis.
