ABSTRACT
Ferroptosis adversely affects the viability, differentiation, and metabolic integrity of C2C12 myoblasts, contributing to the decline in skeletal muscle health. The intricate mechanisms behind this process are not fully understood. In this study, we induced ferroptosis in myoblasts using targeted inducers and found a marked decrease in specific redox metabolites, particularly taurine. Taurine supplementation effectively reversed the deleterious effects of ferroptosis, significantly increased cellular glutathione levels, reduced MDA and ROS levels, and rejuvenated impaired myogenic differentiation. Furthermore, taurine downregulated HO-1 expression and decreased intracellular Fe2+ levels, thereby stabilizing the labile iron pool. Using NMR metabolomic analysis, we observed that taurine profoundly promoted glycerophospholipid metabolism, which is critical for cell membrane repair, and enhanced mitochondrial bioenergetics, thereby increasing the energy reserves essential for muscle satellite cell regeneration. These results suggest that taurine is a potent ferroptosis inhibitor that attenuates key drivers of this process, strengthens oxidative defenses, and improves redox homeostasis. This combined effect protects cells from ferroptosis-induced damage. This study highlights the potential of taurine as a valuable ferroptosis inhibitor that protects skeletal muscle from ferroptosis-induced damage and provides a basis for therapeutic strategies to rejuvenate and facilitate the regeneration of aging skeletal muscle.
