In Vivo Model
Male C57BL/6 mice wild-type (WT), 8 weeks of age, were from Chongqing Medical University, China. Mice were divided into four groups (n = 10-13 per group), control group, MPTP group, h-Trx-1 Tg group, and h-Trx-1 Tg + MPTP group. Control and h-Trx-1 Tg groups were administered saline only. For the Trx-1 knockdown experiment, mice were divided into six groups (n = 10-13 per group), control + saline group, control + MPTP group, AAV9-vehicle + saline group, AAV9-vehicle + MPTP group, AAV9-shRNA-mTrx-1 + saline group, and AAV9-shRNA-mTrx-1 + MPTP.

Response regulation 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (Cyperquat) decreased cell viability, GPX4, and Trx-1 (TXN). The decreased GPX4 and GSH, and increased ROS were inhibited by Fer-1 and Trx-1 overexpression. Trx-1 reversed the decreases of GPX4 and tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) induced by MPTP in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc). Trx-1 inhibits ferroptosis in parkinson's disease through regulating GPX4 and GSH.

Response regulation As a classic drug employed inin vitromodels of Parkinson's disease, 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP) can induce senescence in PC12 cells. The expression of the ferroptosis-related proteins ASCL4 was upregulated and FTH1 was downregulated, which promoted accumulation of lipid peroxides and eventually led to ferroptosis. By rescuing MPP-induced ferroptosis, cell senescence could be inhibited, and its molecular mechanism was related to a p53/SLC7A11/GPX4 signaling pathway.
