Family | Aconitase/IPM isomerase family | ||||
Function |
RNA-binding protein that binds to iron-responsive elements (IRES), which are stem-loop structures found in the 5'-UTR of ferritin, and delta aminolevulinic acid synthase mRNAs, and in the 3'-UTR of transferrin receptor mRNA. Binding to the IRE element in ferritin results in the repression of its mRNA translation. Binding of the protein to the transferrin receptor mRNA inhibits the degradation of this otherwise rapidly degraded mRNA.

In Vivo Model |
Clean-grade male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were purchased from China Food and Drug Administration (Beijing, China). SD rats were fed a high-fat diet (Composition: 15% triglyceride, 15% sucrose, 10% egg yolk powder, 1% cholesterol, 0.2% bile salt, 58.8% basic feed) for 20 weeks. Hematoxylin and eosin (HE) and oil red O staining showed that the area of mixed macrovesicular steatosis was more than 60% under the microscope, indicating that a model of severe steatotic liver was established successfully. A 70% liver thermal ischemia model was established, continuously blocked for 80 min, and then, the ischemic liver was obtained 24 h after reperfusion.

Response Description | miR-29a-3p, which targets IREB2, is abundant in HO-1/BMMSC-exosomes and could decrease the IREB2 protein level. The reduced IREB2 level led to an increase in the level of FTH1 and decreased the level of TFR1 through posttranscriptional regulation, which ultimately reduced the level of intracellular Fe2+ and the production of lipid ROS and inhibited the occurrence of ferroptosis in SHP-HR. In conclusion, ferroptosis plays an important role in HO-1/BMMSC-mediated alleviation of steatotic hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury. | ||||

Response Description | The combined treatment of etoposide and erastin synergistically induced oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation, while suppressing glutathione peroxidase activity in breast cancer cells. More importantly, the combination treatment synergistically increased iron accumulation, which was associated with altered expression of IREB2/FPN1. Additionally, ferroptosis-regulating proteins ACSF2 and GPX4 were altered more potently by the combination treatment, compared to untreated cells and erastin treatment alone (p<0.05). | |||

In Vivo Model |
A total of 150 male Sprague-Dawley rats were obtained from the Experimental Animal Centre of Hubei Province. After deep anaesthesia, we placed each rat on an electric blanket to maintain its body temperature. We placed the positive electrode under the skin of the vertex, the negative electrode into the measured ear and the ground electrode into the other ear. We used a Tucker-Davis Technologies System (RZ6; Tucker-Davis Tech. Inc., Alachua, FL, USA) to record the responses of the rats to sounds of different frequencies as previously described.

Response Description | The study measured iron levels in a simulated ageing model established by the addition of d-galactose (d-gal). These changes were accompanied by upregulation of iron regulatory protein 2 (IRP-2), which led to an increase in transferrin receptor 1 (TfR-1), thus increasing iron entry into cells and potentially leading to ferroptosis. Relieving ferroptosis might be a new intervention strategy for age-related hearing loss. | ||||

After the last administration, diet was prohibited, but drinking water was not restricted. 24 h later, the mice were weighed and taken blood.

Response Description | ART (artemether) could lead to the accumulation of IRP2 a in hepatic stellate cell by inhibiting the ubiquitination of it, thus inducing the increase of iron in HSC (hepatic stellate cell), which could product a large number of ROS (reactive oxide species), resulting the occurrence of ferroptosis in cells. The findings provided an experimental basis for ART to become a drug for the treatment of liver fibrosis. | ||||
