In Vivo Model
Thirty-two male C57BL/6 mice (20 ± 2) g (Beijing Weitonglihua Experimental Animal Technology Co., Ltd.) were bred in individually ventilated cages (IVC) at SPF conditions, kept on a 12 h light/dark cycle, relative humidity conditions (40-70%) and controlled temperature (24 ± 2 ). After one-week acclimation mice were divided randomly into four groups: control group, cisplatin group (20 mg/kg cisplatin dissolved in saline), cisplatin + Fer-1 group (5 mg/kg Fer-1 dissolved in DMSO), and cisplatin + gap27 group (35 ug/kg gap27 dissolved in DMSO). There were eight animals in each group and 20 mg/kg cisplatin was given to each animal once by intraperitoneal injection except mice in the control group. Fer-1 and gap27 was administered 1 h before the injection of cisplatin.

Response regulation Downregulation of Cx43 expression by gap27 reduced acute kidney injury in the animal model by inhibiting cisplatin-induced ferroptosis. Therefore, our results indicated that downregulation of Cx43 can inhibit ferroptosis by restoring the level of SLC7A11 in the system xctransporter and alleviate cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury.
