Trastuzumab (TRZ) is a first-line chemotherapeutic agent for HER-2 (ErbB2)-positive breast cancer. Unfortunately, its clinical use is limited due to its cardiotoxicity, referred to as TRZ-induced cardiotoxicity (TIC). However, the exact molecular mechanisms underlying the development of TIC remain unclear. Iron and lipid metabolism and redox reactions participate in the development of ferroptosis. Here, we show that ferroptosis-mediated mitochondrial dysfunction is involved in TIC in vivo and in vitro. We first established TIC models with BALB/c mice or neonatal rat cardiomyocytes and confirmed cardiomyopathy with echocardiography and inhibition of cell viability with a cell counting kit-8 examination, respectively. We showed that TRZ downregulated glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPx4) and elevated lipid peroxidation by-products, 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) and malondialdehyde (MDA), by inactivating the ErbB2/PI3K/AKT/Nrf2 signalling pathway. Additionally, upregulated mitochondrial 4-HNE binds to voltage-dependent anion channel 1 (VDAC1), increases VDAC1 oligomerization, and subsequently induces mitochondrial dysfunction, as evidenced by mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) opening and decreased mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and ATP levels. Concomitantly, TRZ affected the mitochondrial levels of GSH/GSSG and iron ions and the stability of mitoGPx4. Ferroptosis inhibitors, such as ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1) or the iron chelator deferoxamine (DFO), ameliorate TRZ-induced cardiomyopathy. Overexpression of mitoGPx4 also suppressed mitochondrial lipid peroxidation and prevented TRZ-induced ferroptosis. Our study strongly suggests that targeting ferroptosis-mediated mitochondrial dysfunction is a potential cardioprotective strategy.
