Acrolein induces ROS production and inflammatory response in EAhy926 cells, along with pyroptosis through NLRP3 inflammasome activation. The cytotoxicity induced by acrolein can be attenuated by NAC through modulation of autophagy. Additionally, ROS plays a bidirectional role in regulating acrolein-induced cellular inflammation by modulating both NLRP3 inflammasome activation and autophagy levels.
Acrolein, a known toxin in tobacco smoke, has been demonstrated to be associated with inflammatory cardiovascular diseases, such as atherosclerosis. However, the definite mechanism of acrolein-induced inflammation remains unclear. Here, we report that acrolein induces reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in EAhy926 cells. Additionally, acrolein induces EAhy926 cells' inflammatory response and pyroptosis by activating NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome. Also, acrolein-induced cytotoxicity could be attenuated by N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC). Furthermore, acrolein upregulates the level of autophagy which can be reversed by NAC. Notably, the present study also indicates that autophagy inhibited by inhibitor 3-methyladenine (3MA) and siAtg7 exacerbate acrolein-induced NLRP3 inflammasome activation and pyroptosis. In summary, acrolein induced cytotoxicity by ROS-mediated NLRP3 inflammasome activation, and ROS upregulates the level of autophagy to inhibit the NLRP3 inflammasome excessive activation, indicating the bidirectional role of ROS in acrolein-induced cellular inflammation. Our results may provide novel mechanistic insights into acrolein-induced cardiovascular toxicity.
