In Vivo Model
Male C57BL/6 mice aged 8-10 weeks were purchased from Guangdong Experimental Animal Center (Guangzhou, China). The animals were maintained on a 12 h light-dark cycle in a regulated temperature and humidity environment for 1 week before drug administration. (+)-CLA (50 mg/kg/day, i.g.) or fer-1 (2.5 umol/kg/day, i.p.)were administered for 7 consecutive days. To induce liver injury, mice were injected with erastin (100 mg/kg/day, i.p., twice a day) on both the 6th and 7th day, or a single dose of APAP (600 mg/kg/day, i.p.) on the 7th day after overnight food deprivation. The serum and livers were obtained for analysis.

Response regulation (+)-clausenamide ((+)-CLA) specifically reacted with the Cys-151 residue of Keap1, which blocked Nrf2 ubiquitylation and resulted in an increased Nrf2 stability. Thus, (+)-CLA protects against acetaminophen-induced hepatotoxicity via inhibiting ferroptosis and activating the Keap1/Nrf2 pathway in a Cys-151-dependent manner.
