Abstract
Peroxiredoxin 6 (PRDX6) is a protective biomarker associated with ferroptosis in heart failure (HF). This study investigated the specific mechanism of PRDX6 on doxorubicin (DOX)-induced ferroptosis in HF. Wistar rats and H9c2 cells were induced by DOX to construct HF models. Pathological changes and collagen deposition in myocardium were investigated using HE and Masson staining. PRDX6 levels, indexes of ferroptosis, and JAK2/STAT1 pathway were detected by qRT-PCR, Western blot, and biochemical kits. DOX promoted heart weight/body weight, increased inflammation and collagen deposition, increased PTGS2 and MDA levels, and decreased SLC7A11, GPX4, FTH1, and PRDX6 levels in myocardium. PRDX6 overexpression reduced PTGS2, MDA, Fe2+, and LDH levels, inhibited JAK2 and STAT1 phosphorylation, and increased SLC7A11, GPX4, and FTH1 levels in DOX-added H9c2 cells. RO8191 and erastin reversed the inhibition of PRDX6 on ferroptosis through the JAK2/STAT1 pathway. Overall, PRDX6 alleviated HF by inhibiting DOX-induced ferroptosis through the JAK2/STAT1 pathway inactivation.
