摘要

Ferroptosis is one of the cell death programs occurring after spinal cord injury (SCI) and is driven by iron-dependent phospholipid peroxidation. However, little is known about its underlying regulation mechanism. The present study demonstrated that lipid peroxidation was promoted in patients with SCI. Neurons affected by ferroptosis following SCI had a high expression of ferroptotic protein ACSL4. The E3 SUMOylase TRIM28 promoted neuronal ferroptosis by enhancing ACSL4 expression. Genetic deletion of Trim28 significantly attenuated neuronal ferroptosis and improved mouse hindlimb motor function following SCI. In contrast, mice with Trim28 overexpression demonstrated poor neurological function after SCI, which was attenuated by ferroptosis inhibitor Liproxstatin-1. Mechanistically, TRIM28 bound to ACSL4, promoted SUMO3 modification at lysine (K) 532, and inhibited K63-linked ACSL4 ubiquitination, thereby suppressing OPTN-dependent autophagic degradation. Additionally, SENP3 was identified as the deSUMOylation enzyme that can reverse this process and compete with TRIM28, which was transcriptionally upregulated due to excessive oxidative stress. These data unveiled a mechanism by which TRIM28-mediated SUMOylation regulated neuronal ACSL4 levels and ferroptosis, identified interactions and correlations involved in ACSL4 SUMOylation, ubiquitination, and autophagic degradation, and discovered a positive feedback loop where oxidative stress transcriptionally upregulated Trim28, and conversely TRIM28 promoted ferroptosis and oxidative stress. Notably, screening of the FDA-approved drug library revealed that pharmacological TRIM28/ACSL4 axis interventions with Rutin hydrate inhibited neuronal ferroptosis and improved hindlimb motor function in mice after SCI, thus providing a promising therapeutic strategy for its treatment.
