Trichloroethylene (TCE), a widely distributed environmental chemical contaminant, is extensively dispersed throughout the environment. Individuals who are exposed to TCE may manifest occupational medicamentose-like dermatitis due to trichloroethylene (OMDT). Renal impairment typically manifests in the initial phase of OMDT and is intricately linked to the disease progression and patient outcomes. Although recombinant human tumor necrosis factor-α receptor II fusion protein (rh TNFR:Fc) has been employed in the clinical management of OMDT, there was no substantial improvement in renal function observed in patients following one week of treatment. This study primarily examined the mechanism of TNFα- and IFNγ-induced endothelial cells (ECs) PANoptosis in TCE-induced kidney injury and hypothesized that the synergistic effect of TNFα and IFNγ could be the key factor affecting the efficacy of rh TNFR:Fc therapy in OMDT patients. A TCE-sensitized mouse model was utilized in this study to investigate the effects of TNFα and IFNγ neutralizing antibodies on renal vascular endothelial cell PANoptosis. The gene of interferon regulatory factor 1 (IRF1) in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) was silenced by using small interfering RNA (siRNA), and the cells were then treated with TNFα and IFNγ recombinant protein to investigate the mechanism of TNFα combined with IFNγ-induced PANoptosis in HUVEC. The findings indicated that mice sensitized to TCE exhibited increased levels of PANoptosis-related markers in renal endothelial cells, and treatment with TNFα and IFNγ neutralizing antibodies resulted in a significant reduction in PANoptosis and improvement in renal function. In vitro experiments demonstrated that silencing IRF1 could reverse TNFα and IFNγ-induced PANoptosis in endothelial cells. These results suggest that the efficacy of rh TNFR:Fc may be influenced by TNFα and IFNγ-mediated PANoptosis in kidney vascular endothelial cells. The joint application of TNFα and IFNγ neutralizing antibody represented a solid alternative to existing therapeutics.
