Four-octyl itaconate activates Nrf2 cascade to protect osteoblasts from hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidative injury.
Cell Death & Disease 2020 September 18
Four-octyl itaconate (4-OI) is the cell-permeable derivative of itaconate that can activate Nrf2 signaling by alkylating Keap1's cysteine residues. Here, we tested the potential effect of 4-OI on hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 )-induced oxidative injury in osteoblasts. In OB-6 cells and primary murine osteoblasts, 4-OI was able to activate Nrf2 signaling cascade and cause Keap1-Nrf2 disassociation, Nrf2 protein stabilization, cytosol accumulation, and nuclear translocation. 4-OI also augmented antioxidant-response element reporter activity and promoted expression of Nrf2-dependent genes (HO1, NQO1, and GCLC). Pretreatment with 4-OI inhibited H2 O2 -induced reactive oxygen species production, cell death, and apoptosis in osteoblasts. Furthermore, 4-OI inhibited H2 O2 -induced programmed necrosis by suppressing mitochondrial depolarization, mitochondrial cyclophilin D-ANT1 (adenine nucleotide translocase 1)-p53 association, and cytosol lactate dehydrogenase release in osteoblasts. Ectopic overexpression of immunoresponsive gene 1 (IRG1) increased endogenous itaconate production and activated Nrf2 signaling cascade, thereby inhibiting H2 O2 -induced oxidative injury and cell death. In OB-6 cells, Nrf2 silencing or CRISPR/Cas9-induced Nrf2 knockout blocked 4-OI-induced osteoblast cytoprotection against H2 O2 . Conversely, forced Nrf2 activation, by CRISPR/Cas9-induced Keap1 knockout, mimicked 4-OI-induced actions in OB-6 cells. Importantly, 4-OI was ineffective against H2 O2 in Keap1-knockout cells. Collectively, 4-OI efficiently activates Nrf2 signaling to inhibit H2 O2 -induced oxidative injury and death of osteoblasts.
