Oxidative stress-induced ferroptosis of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells can be attenuated by the antioxidant molecule hydrogen sulfide (H2S). H2S activates the non-canonical NRF2-KEAP1 pathway, stabilizes NRF2, and enhances the interaction between KEAP1 and p62. Moreover, H2S stimulates AMPK to interact and phosphorylate p62, leading to cytoprotective effects against ferroptosis. Targeting the non-canonical NRF2-KEAP1 pathway by H2S-based drugs may hold promise for the treatment of retinal degenerative diseases.
Oxidative stress-induced ferroptosis of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells contributes to retinal degenerative diseases. The antioxidant molecule hydrogen sulfide (H2S) regulates oxidative stress response, but its effect on the ferroptosis of RPE cells is unclear. In this study, sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS) was used as an exogenous H2S donor to intervene tert-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BHP)-induced ferroptosis of APRE-19 cells. We found that NaHS pretreatment attenuates t-BHP-induced oxidative stress and ferroptosis. Analysis of mRNA-sequencing coupled with FerrDb database identified nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2 (NRF2) as a primary target for the cytoprotective role of H2S. NRF2 inhibitor ML385 reverses the effects of H2S on ferroptosis. Biochemical analysis revealed that H2S stabilizes NRF2. H2S decreases the interaction between NRF2 and KEAP1, but enhances the interaction between KEAP1 and p62. These results suggest that H2S activates the non-canonical NRF2-KEAP1 pathway. Further study demonstrated that H2S stimulates AMPK to interact and phosphorylate p62. Additionally, inhibiting AMPK or knocking down p62 blocks the effects of H2S. We speculate that targeting the non-canonical NRF2-KEAP1 pathway by H2S-based drug may benefit the treatment of retinal degenerative diseases.
