Necrosis that appears at the ischemic distal end of random-pattern skin flaps increases the pain and economic burden of patients. Necroptosis is thought to contribute to flap necrosis. Lysosomal membrane permeabilization (LMP) plays an indispensable role in the regulation of necroptosis. Nonetheless, the mechanisms by which lysosomal membranes become leaky and the relationship between necroptosis and lysosomes are still unclear in ischemic flaps. Based on Western blotting, immunofluorescence, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis results, we found that LMP was presented in the ischemic distal portion of random-pattern skin flaps, which leads to disruption of lysosomal function and macroautophagic/autophagic flux, increased necroptosis, and aggravated necrosis of the ischemic flaps. Moreover, bioinformatics analysis of the LC-MS results enabled us to focus on the role of PLA2G4E/cPLA2 (phospholipase A2, group IVE) in LMP of the ischemic flaps. In vivo inhibition of PLA2G4E with an adeno-associated virus vector attenuated LMP and necroptosis, and promoted flap survival. In addition, microRNA-seq helped us determine that Mir504-5p was differentially expressed in ischemic flaps. A string of in vitro and in vivo tests was employed to verify the inhibitory effect of Mir504-5p on PLA2G4E, LMP and necroptosis. Finally, we concluded that the inhibition of PLA2G4E by Mir504-5p reduced LMP-induced necroptosis, thereby promoting the survival of random-pattern skin flaps.Abbreviations: AAV: adeno-associated virus; ACTA2/α;-SMA: actin alpha 2, smooth muscle, aorta; ALOX15/12/15-LOX: arachidonate 15- lipoxygenase; c-CASP8: cleaved caspase; c-CASP3: cleaved caspase 3; CTSD: cathepsin D; CTSB: cathepsin B; CTSL: cathepsin L; DMECs: primary mouse dermal microvascular endothelial cells; ELISA: enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay; F-CHP: 5-FAM-conjugated collagen hybridizing peptide; FISH: fluorescence in situ hybridization; HUVECs: human umbilical vein endothelial cells; LAMP1: lysosomal-associated membrane protein 1; LAMP2: lysosomal-associated membrane protein 2; LC-MS: liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry; LDBF: laser doppler blood flow; LMP: lysosomal membrane permeabilization; LPE: lysophosphatidylethanolamine; LPC: lysophosphatidylcholine; MAP1LC3/LC3: microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3; MLKL: mixed lineage kinase domain-like; NDI: N-dodecylimidazole; PECAM1/CD31: platelet/endothelial cell adhesion molecule 1; PLA2G4A/cPLA2: phospholipase A2, group IVA (cytosolic, calcium-dependent); PLA2G4E/cPLA2: phospholipase A2, group IVE; qPCR: quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction; RIPK1: receptor (TNFRSF)-interacting serine-threonine kinase 1; RIPK3: receptor-interacting serine-threonine kinase 3; RISC: RNA-induced silencing complex; ROS: reactive oxygen species; shRNA: short hairpin RNA; SQSTM1: sequestosome 1; TBHP: tert-butyl hydroperoxide; TUNEL: terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labelling.

Cells in highly crowded environments are exposed to fluctuating mechanical forces. While cells can activate the cortical migration machinery to escape from undesirable compressive stress, the consequence to less motile cells and of prolonged extensive confinement is yet to be uncovered. Here, we demonstrate that nuclear deformation generated by axial confinement triggers a specific form of regulated cell death – ferroptosis. We show that axial confinement is sensed by the nucleus and results in Drp1-dependent mitochondrial fragmentation and mitochondrial ROS accumulation. Meanwhile, we detect cPLA2 translocation to mitochondria. These mitochondrial ROS accumulation and arachidonic acid production concertedly lead to lipid peroxidation and evoke ferroptosis. Interestingly, we find in osteoarthritis, a disease intimately associated with mechanical overloading and inflammation, characteristics of confinement-induced ferroptosis including mitochondrial localization of cPLA2 and high ROS. Together, our findings unveil a pivotal role of cell nucleus and mitochondria in linking mechanical confinement with cell death, highlighting the orchestration of Drp1 and cPLA2 in confinement-induced ferroptosis. A groundbreaking study reveals how physical confinement triggers ferroptosis. It finds the nucleus acts as a mechanosensor, orchestrating Drp1 and cPLA2 that leads to mitochondrial dysfunction and ultimately, cell death.

(1) Background: Inflammatory responses are implicated in embryo implantation, decidualization, pregnancy maintenance and labor. Both embryo implantation and decidualization are essential to successful pregnancy in rodents and primates. S100A6 is involved in inflammation, tumor development, apoptosis and calcium homeostasis. S100A6 is strongly expressed in mouse decidua, but the underlying mechanisms of how S100A6 regulates implantation and decidualization are poorly defined. (2) Methods: Mouse endometrial stromal and epithelial cells are isolated from day 4 pseudopregnant mouse uteri. Both immunofluorescence and Western blotting are used to analyze the expression and localization of proteins. The molecular mechanism is verified in vitro by Western blotting and the quantitative polymerase chain reaction. (3) Results: From days 4 to 8 of pregnancy, S100A6 is specifically expressed in mouse subluminal stromal cells. Blastocyst-derived lactic acid induces AA secretion by activating the luminal epithelial p-cPLA2. The epithelial AA induces stromal S100A6 expression through the COX2/PGI2/PPAR δ pathway. Progesterone regulates S100A6 expression through the progesterone receptor (PR). S100A6/RAGE signaling can regulate decidualization via EGFR/ERK1/2 in vitro. (4) Conclusions: S100A6, as an inflammatory mediator, is important for mouse implantation and decidualization.Keywords:decidualization;implantation;S100A6;RAGE;inflammation

Wilson disease (WD) is an inherited disorder characterized by abnormal copper metabolism with complex pathological features. Currently, this mechanism of copper overload-induced hepatic injury remains unclear. In this study, male toxic milk (TX) mice were selected as experimental subjects. Copper levels and biochemical indices were measured by atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) and kits. Liver tissue ultrastructure was observed by hematoxylin-eosin (H&E), sirius red staining and transmission electron microscopy. Plasma and liver metabolic profiles of TX mice were characterized by untargeted metabolomics. In addition, the expression of enzymes related to arachidonic acid metabolism in liver tissue was detected by Western blotting. The results showed the excessive copper content, concomitant oxidative stress, and hepatic tissue structural damage in TX mice. Seventy-eight metabolites were significantly different in WD, mainly involved in the metabolism of arachidonic acid, glycerophospholipids, sphingolipids, niacin and nicotinamide, and phenylalanine. Furthermore, the arachidonic acid metabolic pathway is an important pathway involved in WD metabolism. The level of arachidonic acid in the liver of TX mice was significantly lower ( p < 0.01) compared to the control group. The expression of cytoplasmic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2) and arachidonic acid 12-lipoxygenase (ALOX12), related to the arachidonic acid metabolic pathway, was significantly different in the liver of TX mice ( p < 0.01). Modulation of the arachidonic acid metabolic pathway could be a potential therapeutic strategy to alleviate WD symptoms.
