Lysophagy, a form of selective autophagy, plays a role in intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) by inducing lysosomal damage and promoting cell ferroptosis. The G3BP1/TSC2 complex is involved in coordinating lysophagy and dysfunctional complex results in lysosomal damage and cell ferroptosis. Inhibition of mTOR signaling protects against lysosomal damage and cell ferroptosis. These findings provide insights into the relationship between lysophagy and compression-induced cell ferroptosis and suggest potential targets for IDD treatment.
Lysophagy is a form of selective autophagy to remove unwanted lysosomes. However, its role in the pathogenesis of intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) remains unclear. We intended to investigate the relationship between lysophagy and ferroptosis, as well as the potential involved molecules during IDD. Human nucleus pulposus (NP) cells were obtained from clinical patients. The protein levels, protein colocalization and cellular reactive oxygen species levels were assessed by western blotting, immunofluorescence analysis, immunoprecipitation and flow cytometry, respectively. The in vivo experiments were conducted based on the needle puncture-induced IDD model in rats. Compression pressure induces the lysophagy inactivation and lysosomal damage, resulting in iron overload and ferroptosis in human NP cells. Notably, Ras GTPase-activating protein-binding proteins 1 (G3BP1) resides at lysosomes to coordinate lysophagy activity mainly via the function of G3BP1/TSC2 complex. Dysfunction of G3BP1/TSC2 complex accelerates the lysosomal damage and ferroptosis in NP cells. Besides, inhibition of mTOR signalling ameliorates lysosomal damage and protects against cell ferroptosis. The in vivo experiments also demonstrate that the G3BP1/mTOR signalling is involved in the progression of IDD. These findings illustrate the relationship between lysophagy and compression-induced cell ferroptosis. It also indicates the positive role of G3BP1 and may provide potential targets for IDD treatment.
