Family L-type amino acid transporter family
Function
Heterodimer with SLC3A2, that functions as an antiporter by mediating the exchange of extracellular anionic L-cystine and intracellular L-glutamate across the cellular plasma membrane. Provides L-cystine for the maintenance of the redox balance between extracellular L- cystine and L-cysteine and for the maintenance of the intracellular levels of glutathione that is essential for cells protection from oxidative stress. The transport is sodium-independent, electroneutral with a stoichiometry of 1:1, and is drove by the high intracellular concentration of L-glutamate and the intracellular reduction of L-cystine . In addition, mediates the import of L-kynurenine leading to anti-ferroptotic signaling propagation required to maintain L-cystine and glutathione homeostasis. Moreover, mediates N-acetyl-L-cysteine uptake into the placenta leading to subsequently down-regulation of pathways associated with oxidative stress, inflammation and apoptosis. In vitro can also transport L-aspartate. May participate in astrocyte and meningeal cell proliferation during development and can provide neuroprotection by promoting glutathione synthesis and delivery from non-neuronal cells such as astrocytes and meningeal cells to immature neurons. Controls the production of pheomelanin pigment directly.

In Vivo Model
T47D xenografts were established in 5-week-old nude mice (Shanghai SLAC Laboratory Animal Corporation) by inoculating 1 x 107 cells mixed with Matrigel (BD Biosciences) at 1:1 ratio (volume) into the abdominal mammary fat pad. When the tumor reached 50-100 mm3, the mice were assigned randomly into different treatment groups (DMSO, Metformin, SAS, and Metformin + SAS groups). Metformin (200 mg/kg/day) was provided in drinking water. Sulfasalazine was dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), diluted in PBS, and then intraperitoneally injected into mice at a dose of 250 mg/kg once a day.

The surgical procedure for establishing the myocardial I/R injury rat model was carried out as we did before. Briefly, a left thoracotomy was performed in the fourth intercostal space and the heart was exposed via opening thepericardium. The left coronary artery was surrounded with a 4-0 silk suture and a snare was formed by passing both ends of the suture via a short polyethylene tubing. Blockage of the coronary artery was conducted via clamping the snare against the heart surface. Reperfusion was performed by release of the snare. The sham group conducted the same procedure but without ischemia (the snare was not tightened). To establish the I/R injury model, the rat hearts were subjected to 1 h-ischemia plus 3 h-reperfusion. At the end, the blood and hearts were collected for assay of the creatine kinase(CK) activity and infarct size to determine the success of I/R injury model. To explore the role of MALT1 in myocardial I/R injury the underlying mechanisms, three sets of experiment were performed.

Drugs were dissolved in vehicle (0.1% DMSO + 20% PEG 300 + 0.5% CMC-Na + ddH2O). Mice in Control and PTZ groups were administered for five days with an equivalent volume of vehicle. PTZ-induced seizure model was done for the subsequent 1 h after the last administration of drugs. We performed a preliminary doseresponse trial, the dose of 60 mg/kg was established as being sufficient to trigger seizures with lower mortality and chosen as the optimal dose. One mouse in PTZ group was dead due to a severe seizure. At the end of the experiment, the mice were anesthetized or euthanized. For histopathological studies, the mice were anesthetized and intracardially perfused with 0.9% saline, followed by 0.4% paraformaldehyde for fixation of the brain. For immunoblot analysis, the hippocampus was rapidly isolated.

Response Description Pseudolaric acid B (PAB) improved intracellular iron by upregulation of transferrin receptor. The increased iron activated Nox4, which resulted in overproduction of H2O2and lipid peroxides. Moreover, PAB depleted intracellular GSH via p53-mediated xCT (SLC7A11) pathway, which further exacerbated accumulation of H2O2and lipid peroxides. Thus, PAB triggers ferroptosis in glioma cells and is a potential medicine for glioma treatment.

Response Description 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.

Drugs were dissolved in vehicle (0.1% DMSO + 20% PEG 300 + 0.5% CMC-Na + ddH2O). Mice in Control and PTZ groups were administered for five days with an equivalent volume of vehicle. PTZ-induced seizure model was done for the subsequent 1 h after the last administration of drugs. We performed a preliminary doseresponse trial, the dose of 60 mg/kg was established as being sufficient to trigger seizures with lower mortality and chosen as the optimal dose. One mouse in PTZ group was dead due to a severe seizure. At the end of the experiment, the mice were anesthetized or euthanized. For histopathological studies, the mice were anesthetized and intracardially perfused with 0.9% saline, followed by 0.4% paraformaldehyde for fixation of the brain. For immunoblot analysis, the hippocampus was rapidly isolated.

Response Description Docetaxel (DTX)-resistant prostate cancer cells develop tolerance toward ferroptosis and that lncRNAPCAT1 promotes chemoresistance by blocking DTX-induced ferroptosis. Mechanistic studies indicated that PCAT1 activates the expression of SLC7A11 by interacting with c-Myc and sponging with miR-25-3p. In addition, TFAP2C activates PCAT1 expression to reduce ferroptosis susceptibility and enhance chemoresistance.

Response Description In a TEAD-dependent manner, YAP/TAZ induce the expression of SLC7A11, a key transporter maintaining intracellular glutathione homeostasis, thus enabling hepatocellular carcinoma cells to overcome Sorafenib-induced ferroptosis. At the same time, YAP/TAZ sustain the protein stability, nuclear localization, and transcriptional activity of ATF4 which in turn cooperates to induce SLC7A11 expression.

Response Description HIF-1 could act as a protective factor against ferroptosis in gastric cancer (GC) cells. HIF-1 activates PMAN at the transcriptional level, which greatly improves the output of ELAVL1 in the cytoplasm. ELAVL1 directly combines with the AREs of SLC7A11 mRNA 3-UTR and improves the stability ofSLC7A11mRNA, thereby increasing the expression of SLC7A11 and reducing the accumulation of ROS and iron in ferroptosis, ultimately promoting the proliferation and development of tumor cells.

Pregnant SD rats were randomly dived into four groups: sham group (n = 8), PE group (n = 8), PE + ferrostatin-1 group ( n= 8), and PE + miR-30b-5p inhibition group (n = 8). On day 14 of pregnancy, PE rat model was established through reduced uterine perfusion pressure (RUPP) surgery, wherein constrictive silver clips were placed on the aorta (0.203-mm clips) superior to the iliac bifurcation and on the ovarian vessels (0.100-mm clips), according to a previous description. Sham rats were operated on in a fashion similar to that of RUPP rats, but without clipping. Mini-pumps were also intraperitoneally inserted into rats on day 14 of pregnancy. The mini-pump in each rat delivered the ferrostatin-1 at a dose of 10 umol/kg/day for 5 days. An miR-30b-5p antagonist (GenePharma) was injected from the tail veins on day 13 of gestation, at a rate of 100 uL/day for 6 days. The blood pressure was measured on days 14, 16, and 19 of gestation using catheters inserted into the carotid artery and jugular vein.

Response Description HIF-1 could act as a protective factor against ferroptosis in gastric cancer (GC) cells. HIF-1 activates PMAN at the transcriptional level, which greatly improves the output of ELAVL1 in the cytoplasm. ELAVL1 directly combines with the AREs of SLC7A11 mRNA 3-UTR and improves the stability of SLC7A11mRNA, thereby increasing the expression of SLC7A11 and reducing the accumulation of ROS and iron in ferroptosis, ultimately promoting the proliferation and development of tumor cells.

Adult Sprague-Dawley rats (70 days old) of both sexes were purchased from the Laboratory Animal Centre of Harbin Medical University, Harbin, China. Before the experiment, female rats were allowed to acclimatize for a minimum of 1 week and then were monitored daily by vaginal lavage to determine the stage of the estrous cycle as previously described (Zhanget al., 2016). Pregnancy was achieved by housing female rats on the night of proestrus with fertile males of the same strain at a 2:1 ratio. Confirmation of mating was performed the morning after by the presence of a vaginal plug, and this was considered as GD 0.5. The rats were sacrificed between 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. hours on GD 14.5.

Response Description Previous studies demonstrate that increased uterine and placental ferroptosis is associated with oxidative stress-induced fetal loss in a pre-clinical polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)-like rat model. N-acetylcysteine treatment results in increased mRNA expression of Aifm2, a negative regulator of GPX4-independent ferroptosis in the placenta. Moreover, NAC reverses HAIR-induced uterine and placental ferroptosis through activation of the Slc7a11/GSH/GPX4 axis.

Male diabetic db/db mice and nondiabetic littermate db/m mice that were 4 weeks of age were purchased from Changzhou Cavens Experimental Animal Co., Ltd. After 1week of adaptive feeding, 20 db/db mice were randomly divided into two groups: a model group (db/db, n = 10) and a treatment group (LIRA, n = 10). Another 10 db/m mice were used as the control group (db/m, n = 10). After feeding to 10weeks old, the LIRA group was given liraglutide (CSN11311, CSNpharm, China) diluent (200 ug/kg/d) by intraperitoneal injection for 5 weeks, with equivoluminal 0.9% saline intraperitoneally administered to the other two groups.

    Click to Show/Hide
Response Description Liraglutide was shown to prevent ferroptosis in the hippocampus by elevating the expression of GPX4 and SLC7A11 and suppressing the excessive amount of ACSL4. LIRA can reduce oxidative stress, lipid peroxidation and iron overload in diabetes-induced cognitive dysfunction and further inhibit ferroptosis, thereby weakening the damage to hippocampal neurons and synaptic plasticity and ultimately restoring cognitive function.

Ten mice of the control group were intraperitoneally injected with the same dose of normal saline. Once the experimental schedule was completed, firstly, the animals were used for behavioral tests. Then, the mice were anesthetized with 0.4% pentobarbital sodium (1 mL/100 g) solution and perfused. The substantia nigra tissue was exfoliated for subsequent experiments.

    Click to Show/Hide
Response Description Paraquat (PQ) significantly caused the iron accumulation in cytoplasm and mitochondria through ferritinophagy pathway induced by NCOA4. Iron overload initiated lipid peroxidation through 12Lox, further inducing ferroptosis by producing lipid ROS. PQ downregulated SLC7A11 and GPX4 expression and upregulated Cox2 expression. Bcl2/Bax and P-p38/p38 pathways mediated the cross-talk between ferroptosis and apoptosis induced by PQ. These data further demonstrated the complexity of Parkinson's disease occurrence.

A total of 60 male C57BL/6 mice (10weeks old, 25-28g) were purchased from Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine Experimental Animal Center (Guangzhou, China). The mice were maintained with enough food and water at 24, 60% relative humidity and 12/12h light/dark cycle. The mice were randomly divided into three groups: sham operation group (Sham), ICH model group (Mod) and baicalin group (Bai) (n = 20/group). Baicalin was suspended in 0.5% carboxymethylcellulose sodium solution. Given the extremely low solubility of baicalin, the concentration of baicalin solution was 0.5 mg/ml. To achieve 20 mg/kg/day dosage, the baicalin solution was administered to the mice in the Bai group by oral route twice at an interval of 1 h within 2 h after ICH injury onset. The remaining two groups received an equal volumes of saline through oral gavage. Since the second day after ICH, mice in the Bai group received 20 mg/kg of baicalin solution while those in the remaining two groups received equal volumes of saline once a day for three consecutive days.

The animals were randomly assigned to six groups (7 mice in each) as follows: (I) Normal saline (NS) group, (II) Ast-IV 100 mg/kg (Ast) group, (III) PM2.5 group, (IV) Ast-IV 50 mg/kg + PM2.5 (Ast-L) group, (V) Ast 100 mg/kg + PM2.5 (Ast-H) group, and (VI) Ast-IV 100 mg/kg + erastin 20 mg/kg + PM2.5 (Era) group. Based on our previous results, this study adopted anintraperitoneal injection(i.p.) of Ast-IV (dissolved in normal saline containing 0.1% DMSO for preventive treatment. After all the mice were adaptively fed for 5 days, in the NS and PM2.5 groups, mice received the normal saline containing 0.1% DMSO viai.p.once a day for the next three consecutive days. Similar to the NS group, in the Ast, Ast-H, and Era groups, mice received Ast-IV (100 mg/kg) viai.p. Ast-L group received Ast-IV (50 mg/kg) viai.p. To evaluate the effect of Ast-IV on ferroptosis in PM2.5-induced lung injury, we used the ferroptosis agonist erastin to activate ferroptosisin vivo. In the Era group, mice received erastin (20 mg/kg, 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5%Tween80 + 45% normal saline) 30 min before each preventive treatment of Ast-IV.

Response Description Astragaloside IV (Ast-IV) reduced the lung wet-dry ratio and the levels of interleukin 6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor- (TNF-) and interleukin 1 (IL-1) in serum. Ast-IV could also improve the oxidative stress level in BALF, restore the GSH level in the lung tissue, and reduce the iron content in the lung tissue. Western blot outcomes revealed that Ast-IV regulated the ferroptosis signaling pathway via the Nrf2/SLC7A11/GPX4 axis to protect PM2.5-mediated lung injury.

Three-week-old specific pathogen-free ICR (Institute of Cancer Research) male mice (weights of 18-22 g) were provided by Liaoning Changsheng Biotech Co. Ltd. The mice were housed under conditions at 22 ± 2 with 35-65% humidity and a light/dark cycle of 12 h/12 h in the cage. The animals were quarantined for a week before formal experiments, then randomly divided into seven groups: vehicle control group (Vcon), control group (Con), 5 mg/kg BW/d Lyc group (Lyc), 500 and 1000 mg/kg BW/d DEHP group (D5 and D10, respectively), DEHP + Lyc group (DL5 and DL10, respectively) (n = 20). The animals were exposed to DEHP via oral gavage, which lasted for 28 d, and then sacrificed after being anesthetized.

T47D xenografts were established in 5-week-old nude mice (Shanghai SLAC Laboratory Animal Corporation) by inoculating 1 x 107 cells mixed with Matrigel (BD Biosciences) at 1:1 ratio (volume) into the abdominal mammary fat pad. When the tumor reached 50-100 mm3, the mice were assigned randomly into different treatment groups (DMSO, Metformin, SAS, and Metformin + SAS groups). Metformin (200 mg/kg/day) was provided in drinking water. Sulfasalazine was dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), diluted in PBS, and then intraperitoneally injected into mice at a dose of 250 mg/kg once a day.

The surgical procedure for establishing the myocardial I/R injury rat model was carried out as we did before. Briefly, a left thoracotomy was performed in the fourth intercostal space and the heart was exposed via opening thepericardium. The left coronary artery was surrounded with a 4-0 silk suture and a snare was formed by passing both ends of the suture via a short polyethylene tubing. Blockage of the coronary artery was conducted via clamping the snare against the heart surface. Reperfusion was performed by release of the snare. The sham group conducted the same procedure but without ischemia (the snare was not tightened). To establish the I/R injury model, the rat hearts were subjected to 1 h-ischemia plus 3 h-reperfusion. At the end, the blood and hearts were collected for assay of the creatine kinase(CK) activity and infarct size to determine the success of I/R injury model. To explore the role of MALT1 in myocardial I/R injury the underlying mechanisms, three sets of experiment were performed.

Drugs were dissolved in vehicle (0.1% DMSO + 20% PEG 300 + 0.5% CMC-Na + ddH2O). Mice in Control and PTZ groups were administered for five days with an equivalent volume of vehicle. PTZ-induced seizure model was done for the subsequent 1 h after the last administration of drugs. We performed a preliminary doseresponse trial, the dose of 60 mg/kg was established as being sufficient to trigger seizures with lower mortality and chosen as the optimal dose. One mouse in PTZ group was dead due to a severe seizure. At the end of the experiment, the mice were anesthetized or euthanized. For histopathological studies, the mice were anesthetized and intracardially perfused with 0.9% saline, followed by 0.4% paraformaldehyde for fixation of the brain. For immunoblot analysis, the hippocampus was rapidly isolated.

Response Description Seratrodast could reduce lipid ROS production, regulate the system xc-/glutathione (GSH)/glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) axis, and inhibit JNK (MAPK8) phosphorylation and p53 expression. JNK can directly or indirectly modulate the expression and activation of p53, which could regulate ferroptosis through inhibition of SLC7A11 transcription. Seratrodast increased the latency of seizures and reduced seizure duration in pentylenetetrazole-induced seizures.

Response Description Pseudolaric acid B (PAB) improved intracellular iron by upregulation of transferrin receptor. The increased iron activated Nox4, which resulted in overproduction of H2O2and lipid peroxides. Moreover, PAB depleted intracellular GSH via p53-mediated xCT (SLC7A11) pathway, which further exacerbated accumulation of H2O2and lipid peroxides. Thus, PAB triggers ferroptosis in glioma cells and is a potential medicine for glioma treatment.

Briefly, when tumours on transplanted nude mice reached around 100 mm3, the mice were randomized divided into eight groups: control, ginkgetin, DDP, ginkgetin + DDP, UAMC 3203, ginkgetin + UAMC 3203, DDP + UAMC 3203, ginkgetin + DDP + UAMC 3203. Both DDP (3 mg/kg) and ginkgetin (30 mg/kg) were administered by intraperitoneal injection, with 2 - 3 times per week and once per day, respectively. UAMC 3203 (10 mg/kg) was administered 5 days/week by intraperitoneally injection. Tumour size and body weight were measured 3 times per week. After dosing 31 days, the nude mice were sacrificed, and tumours were removed and weighed.

Response Description The induction of ferroptosis mediated by ginkgetin was further confirmed by the decreased expression of SLC7A11 and GPX4, and a decreased GSH/GSSG ratio. Simultaneously, ginkgetin disrupted redox hemostasis in DDP-treated cells, as demonstrated by the enhanced ROS formation and inactivation of the Nrf2/HO-1 axis. Ginkgetin also enhanced DDP-induced mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) loss and apoptosis in cultured non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells.

Male diabetic db/db mice and nondiabetic littermate db/m mice that were 4 weeks of age were purchased from Changzhou Cavens Experimental Animal Co., Ltd. After 1week of adaptive feeding, 20 db/db mice were randomly divided into two groups: a model group (db/db, n = 10) and a treatment group (LIRA, n = 10). Another 10 db/m mice were used as the control group (db/m, n = 10). After feeding to 10weeks old, the LIRA group was given liraglutide (CSN11311, CSNpharm, China) diluent (200 ug/kg/d) by intraperitoneal injection for 5 weeks, with equivoluminal 0.9% saline intraperitoneally administered to the other two groups.

    Click to Show/Hide
Response Description Liraglutide was shown to prevent ferroptosis in the hippocampus by elevating the expression of GPX4 and SLC7A11 and suppressing the excessive amount of ACSL4. LIRA can reduce oxidative stress, lipid peroxidation and iron overload in diabetes-induced cognitive dysfunction and further inhibit ferroptosis, thereby weakening the damage to hippocampal neurons and synaptic plasticity and ultimately restoring cognitive function.

Response Description Paraquat (PQ) significantly caused the iron accumulation in cytoplasm and mitochondria through ferritinophagy pathway induced by NCOA4. Iron overload initiated lipid peroxidation through 12Lox, further inducing ferroptosis by producing lipid ROS. PQ downregulated SLC7A11 and GPX4 expression and upregulated Cox2 expression. Bcl2/Bax and P-p38/p38 pathways mediated the cross-talk between ferroptosis and apoptosis induced by PQ. These data further demonstrated the complexity of Parkinson's disease occurrence.

A total of 60 male C57BL/6 mice (10weeks old, 25-28g) were purchased from Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine Experimental Animal Center (Guangzhou, China). The mice were maintained with enough food and water at 24, 60% relative humidity and 12/12h light/dark cycle. The mice were randomly divided into three groups: sham operation group (Sham), ICH model group (Mod) and baicalin group (Bai) (n = 20/group). Baicalin was suspended in 0.5% carboxymethylcellulose sodium solution. Given the extremely low solubility of baicalin, the concentration of baicalin solution was 0.5 mg/ml. To achieve 20 mg/kg/day dosage, the baicalin solution was administered to the mice in the Bai group by oral route twice at an interval of 1 h within 2 h after ICH injury onset. The remaining two groups received an equal volumes of saline through oral gavage. Since the second day after ICH, mice in the Bai group received 20 mg/kg of baicalin solution while those in the remaining two groups received equal volumes of saline once a day for three consecutive days.

Following endotracheal intubation, mice were ventilated with room air at a rate of 120 cycles/min and atidal volumeof 7 mL/kg (MiniVent, Harvard Apparatus, USA). To induce ischemia, mice underwent left thoracotomy, and the left pulmonary hilum was blocked for 60 min with a microvascular clamp. After ischemia, the coronary artery was reperfused for 120 min by removing the clamp. The mice were euthanized at the end of the experiment through CO2 asphyxiation and cervical dislocation. Next, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), blood, and lung samples were collected for testing.

The mice were randomly divided into four groups of six: sham + vehicle, sham + DMF, IR + vehicle, and IR + DMF. The mice were supplemented with DMF at a concentration of 100 mg/kg or DMSO by daily oral gavage for a week before surgery, as previously reported. As stated in a prior study, the partial warm liver IRI model was developed. Briefly, the sham group only had free hepatic portal blood vessels after laparotomy, and the blood flow was not obstructed. As for the hepatic IR group, the blood supply to the left and mid-hepatic lobes was blocked, resulting in 70% mouse liver IRI for 90 min. The mice were put on a heated blanket after surgery in order to maintain body temperature and monitor vital signs. Blood supply was restored for 6 h. Died mice were eliminated for testing prior to sample collection. The mice were euthanized after the sample were obtained. The same experimenter carried out all surgeries.

These mice were on eight weeks old male DBA/2J background (n = 36, HFK Bioscience, Beijing, China). They were randomized one of the six groups: control normal mice group (NC); diabetic mice group (DM); diabetic mice group (Fer-1), who intraperitoneal injected Fer-1 (Selleck, Houston, TX, USA); diabetic mice group (vehicle-P), who intraperitoneal injected 1% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO); diabetic mice group (As), who intragastric administrated Aspirin (Solarbio, Beijing, China); diabetic mice group (vehicle-G), who intragastric administrated 0.5% sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (Na-CMC; Solarbio, Beijing, China). Diabetes models were induced with 5 consecutive days of a single intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin 40 mg/kg (dissolved in 0.1 M citrate buffer, pH 4.5; SigmaAldrich, St Louis, MO, USA). Control mice only was injected the same volume of citrate buffer. In the Fer-1 or vehicle-P groups, the diabetic mice were treated respectively with Fer-1 (2.5 umol/kg, dissolved in 1% DMSO) or 1% DMSO during the duration of treatment for 12-week every day. And in the AS and vehicle-G groups, the diabetic mice were treated respectively with aspirin (50 mg/kg, dissolved in 0.5% Na-CMC) or 0.5% Na-CMC for 12-week every day.

Response Description Aspirin can upregulate SLC7A11 and GPX4 expression by suppressing COX2. Our results demonstrated that ferroptosis in renal tubular cells contributes to Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) development and that diabetes-related ferroptosis was inhibited through the downregulation of COX2 by aspirin, thus retarding the progression of DKD.

Three-week-old specific pathogen-free ICR (Institute of Cancer Research) male mice (weights of 18-22 g) were provided by Liaoning Changsheng Biotech Co. Ltd. The mice were housed under conditions at 22 ± 2 with 35-65% humidity and a light/dark cycle of 12 h/12 h in the cage. The animals were quarantined for a week before formal experiments, then randomly divided into seven groups: vehicle control group (Vcon), control group (Con), 5 mg/kg BW/d Lyc group (Lyc), 500 and 1000 mg/kg BW/d DEHP group (D5 and D10, respectively), DEHP + Lyc group (DL5 and DL10, respectively) (n = 20). The animals were exposed to DEHP via oral gavage, which lasted for 28 d, and then sacrificed after being anesthetized.

Response Description DEHP disrupted the GSH metabolism via the xc/ GPX4 antioxidant system and, subsequently, caused the ferroptotic cell death, but Lycopene (Lyc) could effectively mitigate DEHP-induced damage to the antioxidant system. These findings indicated that Lyc may be an effective strategy for the prevention of DEHP-induced splenic toxicity via the regulation of ferroptosis.
