مستخلص: | Triptolide (TP) is a major bioactive compound derived from Tripterygium wilfordii Hook. F. (TwHF) known for its medicinal properties, but it also exhibits potential toxic effects. It has been demonstrated to induce severe male reproductive toxicity, yet the precise mechanism behind this remains unclear, which limits its broad clinical application. This study aimed to investigate the mechanisms underlying testicular damage and spermatogenesis dysfunction induced by TP in mice, using both mouse models and the spermatocyte-derived cell line GC-2spd. In the present study, it was found that TP displayed significant testicular microstructure damaged and spermatogenesis defects including lower concentration and abnormal morphology by promoting ROS formation, MDA production and restraining GSH level, glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) expression in vivo. Furthermore, Ferrostatin-1 (FER-1), a ferroptosis inhibitor, was found to significantly reduce the accumulation of lipid peroxidation, alleviate testicular microstructural damage, and enhance spermatogenic function in mice. Besides, notably decreased cell viability, collapsed mitochondrial membrane potential, and elevated DNA damage were observed in vitro. The above-mentioned phenomenon could be reversed by pre-treatment of FER-1, indicating that ferroptosis participated in the TP-mediated spermatogenesis dysfunction. Mechanistically, TP could enhance GPX4 ubiquitin degradation via triggering K63-linked polyubiquitination of GPX4, thereby stimulating ferroptosis in spermatocytes. Functionally, GPX4 deletion intensified ferroptosis and exacerbated DNA damage in GC-2 cells, while GPX4 overexpression mitigated ferroptosis induced by TP. Overall, these findings for the first time indicated a vital role of ferroptosis in TP induced-testicular injury and spermatogenic dysfunction through promoting GPX4 K63-linked polyubiquitination, which hopefully offers a potential therapeutic avenue for TP-related male reproductive damage. In addition, this study also provides a theoretical foundation for the improved clinical application of TP or TwHF in the future.
