Histone deacetylases(HDACs)are epigenetic regulators that play an important role in determining cell fate and maintaining cellular homeostasis.However,whether and how HDACs regulate iron metabolism and ferroptosis(an iron-dependent form of cell death)remain unclear.Here,the putative role of hepatic HDACs in regulating iron metabolism and ferroptosis was investigated using genetic mouse models.Mice lacking Hdac3 expression in the liver(Hdac3-LKO mice)have significantly reduced hepatic Hamp mRNA(encoding the peptide hormone hepcidin)and altered iron homeostasis.Transcription profiling of Hdac3-LKO mice suggests that the Hippo signaling pathway may be downstream of Hdac3.Moreover,using a Hippo pathway inhibitor and overexpressing the transcriptional regulator Yap(Yes-associated protein)significantly reduced Hamp mRNA levels.Using a promoter reporter assay,we then identified 2 Yap-binding repressor sites within the human HAMP promoter region.We also found that inhibiting Hdac3 led to increased translocation of Yap to the nucleus,suggesting activation of Yap.Notably,knock-in mice expressing a constitutively active form of Yap(Yap K342M)phenocopied the altered hepcidin levels observed in Hdac3-LKO mice.Mechanistically,we show that iron-overload-induced ferroptosis underlies the liver injury that develops in Hdac3-LKO mice,and knocking down Yap expression in Hdac3-LKO mice reduces both iron-overload-and ferroptosis-induced liver injury.These results provide compelling evidence supporting the notion that HDAC3 regulates iron homeostasis via the Hippo/Yap pathway and may serve as a target for reducing ferroptosis in iron-overload-related diseases.
