Abstract
AbstractEpidermal stem cells (ESCs) are critical for skin regeneration and repair. Previous studies have shown that ESCs are susceptible to oxidative stress, which in turn leads to lipid peroxidation and affects skin repair. Our study aims to explore how ESCs resist lipid peroxidation. By performing proteomics analysis, we found that the expression of Acyl-CoA thioesterase 7 (ACOT7) was positively correlated with the concentration of transferrin. Overexpression adenovirus vectors of ACOT7 were constructed and transfected into ESCs. Levels of lipid peroxidation by flow cytometry, cell viabilities, and MDA levels were measured. The results revealed that ACOT7 could inhibit lipid peroxidation, reduce the level of malondialdehyde (MDA), and improve the survival rate of ESCs induced by H2O2, Erastin, and RSL3. Our data suggest that ACOT7 has an effect on protecting ESCs against iron-dependent lipid peroxidation.
