In Vitro Model L-02 cells Endocervical adenocarcinoma Homo sapiens CVCL_6926
In Vivo Model
Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats (300 g-350 g, specific pathogen free) were obtained from Institute of Genome Engineered Animal Models for Human Disease of Dalian Medical University (Dalian, China). To explore the influence of NaAsO2 (CAS No.7784-46-5, Sigma-Aldrich, USA) on the liver, the rats were subjected to NaAsO2 at the dosage of 0, 2.5, and 5 mg/kg by gavage for 9 months. The control group was gavaged with distilled water as vehicle.

Response regulation Arsenic induces rat liver nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and Ferroptosis via interacting between Mitofusin-2 with IRE1. NaAsO2 increases IRE1 and Mfn2 expression, subsequently led to upregulated ACSL4 expression and 5-HETE via the directly combination Mfn2 with IRE1, ultimately induced ferroptotic cell death.

In Vivo Model
A total of thirty-two healthy specificpathogenfree C57BL/6J male mice at seven weeks of age and weighted 20-24 g were purchased from the Experimental Animal Center of Chongqing Medical University. After administration of arsenite via drinking water, the animals were euthanized by pentobarbital sodium, three of the animals were subjected to the perfusion fixation, and subsequently, the hippocampus tissues were rapidly dissected on ice and immersed into 4% paraformaldehyde for pre-fixation.

Response regulation Arsenite was able to trigger ferroptosis in the adrenal gland pheochromocytoma cells. Arsenite significantly decreased the expressions of ferritin and NCOA4, but sharply enhanced the level of autophagy marker LC3B, suggesting the activation of ferritinophagy by arsenite.

In Vivo Model
Groups of 18 specific pathogen free (SPF) Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats (300 g -350 g) obtained from Institute of Genome Engineered Animal Models for Human Disease of Dalian Medical University (China). The rats were divided randomly into 3 groups, control, low-dose of NaAsO2 (2.5 mg/kg) and high-dose of NaAsO2 (5 mg/kg), 6 animals in each group. NaAsO2 (CAS No. 7784-46-5) was gained from Sigma Aldrich. The rats were subjected to NaAsO2 at a dose of 0, 2.5 and 5 mg/kg by gavage for 5 months. Control group was given distilled water using the above method.

Response regulation Sodium arsenite-induced ferroptotic cell death is relied on the MtROS-dependent autophagy by regulating the iron homeostasis. Ferroptosis is involved in pancreatic dysfunction triggered by arsenic, and arsenic-induced ferroptosis involves MtROS, autophagy, ferritin.

In Vivo Model
Specific pathogen free C57BL/6J male mice, aged 7 weeks old, weighted 20-24 g, were provided by Experimental Animal Center of Chongqing Medical University. The animals were adaptive feeding for a week, then randomly divided into four groups: control group, 0.5 mg/L arsenite group, 5 mg/L arsenite group and 50 mg/L arsenite group (n = 8). After exposure of arsenite via drinking water for 6 months, the animals were anesthetized, and the bilateral testicles were immediately separated on ice, weighted and calculated to get viscera coefficient.

Response regulation Sodium arsenite induced oxidative stress and consequently leading to testicular cell death by ferroptosis. These findings demonstrate a potential beneficial role of supplementation of ferroptosis inhibitors for prevention or treatment of arsenite-related male reproductive toxicity.
