ABSTRACT
A previous study of an animal model with tumor suppressor gene von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) conditional knockdown suggested that tissue inflammation and fibrosis play important roles in the development of clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), which is consistent with the epidemiological evidence linking inflammatory kidney disease and renal cancer. Ferroptosis and inflammation have been linked in a recent study, but the exact mechanism remains unclear. This study is aimed at investigating the mechanism of lipocalin-2- (LCN-2-) mediated ferroptosis and inflammation in vhl-mutated HK-2 cells and mouse primary proximal tubule cells (mRTCs) and the polarization of macrophage RAW 264.7 cells. Based on the levels of lipid reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the expression of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) in HK-2 cells, we observed that a VHL mutation increased ROS production and depressed GPX4 expression, whereas LCN-2 knockdown reversed these effects. Accordingly, VHL appears to affect ferroptosis in an LCN-2-dependent manner. We also revealed that LCN-2 sensitizes HK-2 cells to inflammation and macrophage RAW 264.7 cells to M1-like polarization. This study provides novel insights into the potential therapeutic target and strategy for attenuating the progression of ccRCC by revealing the role of VHL in regulating chronic inflammation within the LCN-2-ferroptosis pathway.
