摘要
Pyroptosis is a form of programmed cell death characterized by gasdermin (GSDM)-mediated pore formation in the cell membrane, resulting in the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and cellular lysis. Increasing evidence has shown that pyroptosis is responsible for the progression of various pulmonary disorders. The inhalation of polyhexamethylene guanidine (PHMG) causes severe lung inflammation and pulmonary toxicity; however, the underlying mechanisms are unknown. Therefore, in this study, we investigate the role of pyroptosis in PHMG-induced pulmonary toxicity. We exposed bronchial epithelial cells, BEAS-2B, to PHMG phosphate (PHMG-p) and evaluated cell death type, reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, and relative expression levels of pyroptosis-related proteins. Our data revealed that PHMG-p reduced viability and induced morphological alterations in BEAS-2B cells. Exposure to PHMG-p induced excessive accumulation of mitochondrial ROS (mtROS) in BEAS-2B cells. PHMG-p activated caspase-dependent apoptosis as well as NLRP3/caspase-1/GSDMD-mediated- and caspase-3/GSDME-mediated pyroptosis through mitochondrial oxidative stress in BEAS-2B cells. Notably, PHMG-p reduced mitochondrial respiratory function and induced the translocation of Bax and cleaved GSDM into the mitochondria, leading to mitochondrial dysfunction. Our results enhanced our understanding of PHMG-p-induced lung toxicity by demonstrating that PHMG-p induces pyroptosis via mtROS-induced mitochondrial dysfunction in bronchial epithelial cells.
