ABSTRACT
Ferroptosis, an iron-dependent regulated cell death triggered by high lipid peroxide levels, has been implicated in several neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson's disease (PD). Brain regions such as the striatum are highly rich in both peroxidation susceptible PUFAs and iron, which accumulate at a greater rate than age in PD. The exact molecular pathways and patho-physiological conditions promoting cell death in the dopaminergic neurons that are particularly susceptible in PD remain elusive. In the current work, we show that modifying the PUFA composition in membranes of dopaminergic neurons using arachidonic acid (AA) can determine ferroptosis susceptibility. Furthermore, cotreatment with iron (Fe), increases AA-containing phospholipid association and synergistically promotes high lipid peroxidation to facilitate ferroptosis. Ex vivo analysis with organotypic brain slices, confirm that AA + Fe induces cell death in the nigrostriatal pathway and can be rescued by the anti-ferroptotic drug Ferrostatin-1. Prevention of ferroptotic AA + Fe induced cell death through inhibition of ACSL4, ALOX15 or ALOX15B provides mechanistic support of this lipid peroxidation pathway being involved in dopaminergic neuronal death and novel potential pharmacological targets for neuroprotective strategies in PD.
