Abstract

Abstract:

This study aimed to investigate whether porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) infection induces ferroptosis and its impact on viral replication. Proteomic analysis of differentially expressed proteins in IPEC-J2 cells (porcine intestinal epithelial cells) post-PEDV infection, combined with Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses, initially suggested ferroptosis occurrence. Subsequent validation included measuring malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione (GSH) levels, assessing protein expression of ferroptosis-related markers (TFRC, xCT, GPX4, ACSL4, LPCAT3, and Ferritin), and observing Fe²⁺ accumulation, lipid reactive oxygen species (ROS), and mitochondrial membrane potential via inverted fluorescence microscopy. Further, by adding the ferroptosis inhibitor Fer-1, the expression changes of N protein and the changes of viral titer during the infection process of PEC-J2 cells caused by PEDV infection were investigated. Proteomic analysis revealed significant downregulation of Ferritin in PEDV-infected cells. GO and KEGG analyses highlighted prominent enrichment in iron metabolism dysregulation and lipid metabolism disruption, indicating ferroptosis induction. PEDV infection markedly elevated MDA levels (P < 0.01) and reduced GSH content (P < 0.01). Protein expression of Ferritin, GPX4, ACSL4, and LPCAT3 was significantly downregulated (P < 0.01), while TFRC was upregulated (P < 0.01). Fluorescence assays demonstrated intensified Fe²⁺ and lipid ROS signals (P < 0.01) and diminished mitochondrial membrane potential (P < 0.01). After the addition of Fer-1, both the N protein level and the gene level of PEDV were extremely significantly downregulated (P < 0.01), and the viral titer also decreased extremely significantly after Fer-1 treatment (P < 0.01). PEDV infection induces ferroptosis in IPEC-J2 cells, a process that may mechanistically contribute to enhanced viral replication by disrupting cellular iron homeostasis and lipid peroxidation signaling pathways.
