Histone lysine crotonylation accelerates ACSL4-mediated ferroptosis of keratinocytes via modulating autophagy in diabetic wound healing by Fengjuan Li, Haowen Ye, Lanlan Li, Qingling Chen, Xianwu Lan, Liangxiu Wu, Bin Li, Lishan Li, Chuxian Guo, Milad Ashrafizadeh, Gautam Sethi, Jun Guo, Liangyan Wu

“…Downregulation of SQSTM1 in diabetic keratinocytes leads to autophagy inhibition and modulates the protein level of ACSL4. Mechanistically, total crotonylation levels and H3K27cr were remarkably elevated in the skin and keratinocytes of diabetic rats; blocking high glucose-induced H3K27cr with MB-3 can enhance SQSTM1 transcription and expression while promoting autophagy and reducing ACSL4-induced ferroptosis in keratinocytes. …”
