Pathway Response Fatty acid metabolism hsa01212
Ferroptosis hsa04216
Cell Process Cell ferroptosis
In Vitro Model mTTs (Mouse testicular tissues)
In Vivo Model
Eight-week-old healthy ICR male mice, weighted 20-24 g, were provided by Experimental Animal Center of Nantong University (Nantong, China). For the first animal study, eight-week-old ICR male mice were randomly assigned to four groups: control, busulfan, busulfan plus Fer-1 and busulfan plus DFO groups (n = 6 per group). Mice were anesthetized and then given testicular injection of busulfan on both sides at the dose of 4 mg/kg body weight. The solution containing busulfan was directly injected from the scrotum into testicular transverse diameter. Fer-1 and DFO were administered by intraperitoneal injectionat concentrations of 1 mg/kg and 30 mg/kg respectively three times a week after busulfan injection. Four weeks later, the epididymal spermatozoa and testes from all mice were collected for assessment.

Response regulation Busulfan treatment induced spermatogenic cells ferroptosis by down-regulating nuclear factor-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) expressions, and decreasing iron efflux through reduction of ferroportin 1 (FPN1) expression. Targeting ferroptosis serves as a potential strategy for prevention of busulfan-induced damage and male infertility.
