Experiment 1 Reporting the Ferroptosis Target of This Regulator [1]
Target for Ferroptosis Driver
Responsed Disease Lung injury ICD-11: NB32
Pathway Response Ferroptosis hsa04216
Cell Process Cell ferroptosis
In Vitro Model
mLVECs (Mouse lung microvascular endothelial cells)
In Vivo Model
The sepsis mouse model was established by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) of male C57BL/6 mouse (6-8 weeks, Guangzhou Animal Medical Center). Firstly, the mice were anesthetized by intraperitoneal injection of 4% chloral hydrate (0.1 ml/10g). The cecum was found by cutting a 1 cm longitudinally in the abdomen of the mice, and ligating the cecum from the end of the cecum to half the length of the ileocecal valve with 5-0 silk suture. Then a 21 G needle was used to puncture the ligature and the midpoint of the cecum once, and finally the wound was sutured. In the sham operation group, only laparotomy was performed, without ligation and perforation of the cecum. All animal-related experiments in this study were approved by hospital ethics committee according to following the Nation Institutes of Health Guide for the Laboratory Animals Care and Use (approval No. Med-Eth-Re [2022] 168).

Response regulation CircEXOC5 can enhance the stability of the target gene ACSL4 by binding to the RNA binding protein PTBP1 and up-regulate its expression, thereby promoting ferroptosis and exacerbating sepsis-induced acute lung injury.
