Experiment 1 Reporting the Ferroptosis-centered Disease Response by This Target [1]
Target for Ferroptosis Marker/Suppressor
Responsed Disease Adriamycin-induced renal damage [ICD-11: GC2Z]
Responsed Drug Astragaloside IV Investigative
Pathway Response PI3K-Akt signaling pathway hsa04151
Ferroptosis hsa04216
Cell Process Cell ferroptosis
In Vitro Model HK-2 cells Normal Homo sapiens CVCL_0302
In Vivo Model
Male SD rats (200 ± 10 g) were obtained from Beijing Vital River Company (Beijing, China). They were kept under 12-h light/dark cycles and allowed free access to food and water. Rats were randomly divided into CON, ADR, ADR + ASIV, and ASIV groups (n = 6). Rats in ADR and ADR + ASIV groups received four equal injections of ADR intraperitoneally (4 mg/kg) in 5 weeks. Rats in ASIV and ADR + ASIV groups intragastrically received ASIV (10 mg/kg, daily) for 5weeks, while rats in CON and ADR groups were administered the same dose of solvent as ADR. Finally, the rats were euthanized, and the bilateral kidneys were excised.

Response regulation Astragaloside IV increased the phosphorylation of Pi3K, Akt, and the expression of Nrf2 and glutathione peroxidase 4 compared to HK-2 cells stimulated by ADR. In conclusion, ferroptosis may involve in Adriamycin (ADR)-induced nephrotoxicity, and ASIV might protect nephrocytes against ADR-induced ferroptosis, perhaps via activations of the Pi3K/Akt and Nrf2 signaling pathways.
