Target for Ferroptosis Driver
Responsed Disease Anemia [ICD-11: 3A9Z]
Responsed Regulator Dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (quinone), mitochondrial (DHODH) Suppressor
Pathway Response Fatty acid metabolism hsa01212
Ferroptosis hsa04216
Cell Process Cell ferroptosis
In Vitro Model AHH-1 cells Normal Homo sapiens CVCL_3640
In Vivo Model
4-week male C57BL/6J mice (20-22 g) were obtained from the vital river and preconditioned for one week. Mice were divided into two groups, either exposed to benzene or fresh air in the exposure system for 6 h/day, 6 days/week, for two months. In the last exposure day, the mice were fast for 10 h. Subsequently, the mice were injected with tribromoethanol (T48402, Sigma, USA) (300 mg/kg).

Response regulation The iron-regulatory system IRP1, ferroptosis regulator DHODH, and fatty acids metabolism rate-limiting enzyme ALOX12 were the crucial influencers in regulating ferroptosis, this provides the potential target in attenuating benzene-induced anemia of inflammation.
