Abstrakt: Sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI) has a high mortality rate and lacks effective targeted treatment. We applied lipopolysaccharides-induced injury models in human and mouse renal tubular epithelial cells, and at the same time, we selected a commonly used sedative drug, dexmedetomidine, to investigate its potential for renal protection. We found a significant increase in the expression level of HSP90, and the interaction with glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) led to autophagic degradation of GPX4, triggering ferroptosis. Dexmedetomidine reduced the degradation of GPX4 by increasing the binding of KEAP1 and HSP90 in the cytoplasm. Therefore, lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis were reduced. Similarly, dexmedetomidine showed renal protective effects in C57BL/6J male mice with SA-AKI induced by cecal ligation. Our study reveals a new mechanism of renal tubular epithelial cell ferroptosis in SA-AKI treated with dexmedetomidine.
