In total 1 item(s) under this Target
Experiment 1 Reporting the Ferroptosis-centered Drug Act on This Target [1]
Target for Ferroptosis Marker/Suppressor
Responsed Disease Sepsis ICD-11: 1G40
Pathway Response Ferroptosis hsa04216
Fatty acid metabolism hsa01212
Cell Process Cell ferroptosis
In Vitro Model MLE-12 cells Normal Mus musculus CVCL_3751
In Vivo Model
Briefly, female BALB/c mice (6-8 weeks, weighing 20-25 g, purchased from Hunan SJA Laboratory Animal Co., Ltd., Changsha, Hunan, China) were raised in specific pathogen-free conditions under controlled temperature (23-25 ) and humidity (40-80%) as well as a 12 h dark/light cycle for 1 week of acclimation. They were fed a standard chow diet and waterad libitum. Mice were anaesthetised with 2% isoflurane inhalation and underwent moderate caecal ligation and puncture in accordance with a previously reported protocol (Rittirsch etal.2009). Meanwhile, mice in the control groups were subjected to a sham operation. Buprenorphin (0.05 mg/kg) was injected for postoperative analgesia, and all mice were placed in cages immediately after the surgical procedures with free access to water and food (Rittirsch etal. 2009).
