Background: Inflammation is one of a main reason for colon cancer progression and poor prognosis. The high-mobility group box-1 (HMGB1) and glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) are responsible for inflammation, but the relationship between HMGB1 and GPX4 remains unknown about inflammation in colon cancer. Methods: RT-qPCR was carried out to investigate the expression of IL1 beta, IL6 and TNF alpha in colon cancer cells stimulated with LPS or siHMGB1. To observe the relationship between HMGB1, GPX4 and inflammation or ROS, Western blot assays were adopted. Pull-down, CoIP and immunohistochemistry assays were performed to further investigate the molecular mechanisms of HMGB1 and GPX4 in colon cancer. Results: We report that HMGB1 mediates lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation in colon cancer cells. Mechanistically, acetylated HMGB1 interacts with GPX4, negatively regulating GPX4 activity. Furthermore, by utilizing siHMGB1 and its inhibitor, our discoveries demonstrate that HMGB1 knockdown can inhibit inflammation and reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation via NF-kB. Conclusion: Collectively, our findings first demonstrate that acetylated HMGB1 can interact with GPX4, leading to inflammation, and providing therapeutic strategies targeting HMGB1 and GPX4 for colon cancer.
