Inhibition of SIRT6 aggravates p53-mediated ferroptosis in acute lung injury in mice

Although studies have shown that protein 53 (p53)-mediated ferroptosis is involved in acute lung injury (ALI), the mechanism of its regulation remains unclear. The protective effects of Sirtuin 6 (SIRT6), a histone deacetylase, have been demonstrated in multiple diseases; however, further studies ar...

description Although studies have shown that protein 53 (p53)-mediated ferroptosis is involved in acute lung injury (ALI), the mechanism of its regulation remains unclear. The protective effects of Sirtuin 6 (SIRT6), a histone deacetylase, have been demonstrated in multiple diseases; however, further studies are needed to elucidate the role of SIRT6 in ALI. In the present study, we hypothesize that SIRT6 protects against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ALI by regulating p53-mediated ferroptosis. We observed that the inhibition of ferroptosis prevented LPS-induced ALI. The knockout of p53 blocked LPS-induced ferroptosis and ALI, suggesting that p53 facilitated ALI by promoting ferroptosis. In addition, the inhibition of SIRT6 aggravated LPS-induced ferroptosis and ALI, while the depression of ferroptosis blocked the exacerbation of lung injury induced by SIRT6 inhibition. The results suggest that SIRT6 protects against ALI by regulating ferroptosis. Furthermore, the inhibition of SIRT6 reinforced the p53 acetylation and the deletion of p53 rescued the exacerbation of ferroptosis induced by SIRT6 inhibition. The findings indicate that SIRT6 regulates the acetylation of p53 and prevents p53-mediated ferroptosis. In conclusion, our results indicate that SIRT6 protects against LPS-induced ALI by regulating p53-mediated ferroptosis, thereby demonstrating that SIRT6 holds great promise as a therapeutic target for ALI.
