Cardiac-specific overexpression of catalase attenuates lipopolysaccharide-induced cardiac anomalies through reconciliation of autophagy and ferroptosis

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from Gram-negative bacteria is a major contributor to cardiovascular failure, but the signaling mechanisms underlying its stress response are not fully understood. This study aimed to investigate the effect of the antioxidant enzyme catalase on LPS-induced cardiac abnormalities and the mechanisms involved, with particular focus on the interplay between autophagy, ferroptosis, and apoptosis. Cardiac-specific catalase (CAT) overexpression and wild-type (WT) mice were stimulated with LPS (6 mg/kg, intravenous injection), and cardiac morphology and function were evaluated. Oxidative stress, ferroptosis, apoptosis, and mitochondrial status were monitored, and survival curves were plotted based on the results of LPS stimulation. The results showed that, compared with WT mice, mice overexpressing catalase had a higher survival rate under LPS stimulation. Ultrasound echocardiography, cardiomyocyte characteristics, and Masson's trichrome staining showed that LPS inhibited cardiac function and caused cardiac fibrosis, while catalase alleviated these adverse effects. LPS increased apoptosis (TUNEL, caspase-3 activation, cleaved caspase-3), increased O2·- production, induced inflammation (TNF-α), autophagy, iron toxicity, and carbonyl damage, and significantly damaged mitochondria (mitochondrial membrane potential, mitochondrial proteins, and ultrastructure). These effects were significantly alleviated by catalase. Interestingly, the antioxidant N-acetylcysteine, autophagy inhibitor 3-methyladenine, and ferroptosis inhibitor lipostatin-1 all eliminated the LPS-induced contraction dysfunction and ferroptosis (using lipid peroxidation). Induction of ferroptosis could eliminate the cardioprotective effect of NAC. In conclusion, catalase rescues LPS-induced cardiac dysfunction by regulating oxidative stress, autophagy, ferroptosis, apoptosis, and mitochondrial damage in cardiomyocytes.
