Glutathione (GSH) protects against oxidative damage in many tissues, including
retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). Oxidative stress-mediated senescence and death
of RPE and subsequent death of photoreceptors have been observed in age-related
macular degeneration (AMD). Although the consequences of GSH depletion have been
described previously, questions remain regarding the molecular mechanisms. We
herein examined the downstream effects of GSH depletion on stress-induced
premature senescence (SIPS) and cell death in human RPE cells. Briefly, cultured
ARPE-19 cells were depleted of GSH using: (1) incubation in cystine (Cys(2))-free
culture medium; (2) treatment with buthionine sulphoximine (BSO, 1000?µM) to
block de novo GSH synthesis for 24-48?h; or (3) treatment with erastin (10?µM for
12-24?h) to inhibit Cys(2)/glutamate antiporter (system x(c)(-)). These
treatments decreased cell viability and increased both soluble and lipid reactive
oxygen species (ROS) generation but did not affect mitochondrial ROS or
mitochondrial mass. Western blot analysis revealed decreased expression of
ferroptotic modulator glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4). Increased autophagy was
apparent, as reflected by increased LC3 expression, autophagic vacuoles, and
autophagic flux. In addition, GSH depletion induced SIPS, as evidenced by
increased percentage of the senescence-associated ?-galactosidase-positive cells,
increased senescence-associated heterochromatin foci (SAHF), as well as cell
cycle arrest at the G1 phase. GSH depletion-dependent cell death was prevented by
selective ferroptosis inhibitors (8??M Fer-1 and 600?nM Lip-1), iron chelator DFO
(80??M), as well as autophagic inhibitors Baf-A1 (75?nM) and 3-MA (10?mM).
Inhibiting autophagy with Baf-A1 (75?nM) or 3-MA (10?mM) promoted SIPS. In
contrast, inducing autophagy with rapamycin (100?nM) attenuated SIPS. Our
findings suggest that GSH depletion induces ferroptosis, autophagy, and SIPS. In
addition, we found that autophagy is activated in the process of ferroptosis and
reduces SIPS, suggesting an essential role of autophagy in ferroptosis and SIPS.
