Experiment 1 Reporting the Ferroptosis-centered Disease Response of This Regulator [1]
Responsed Drug Berberine Investigative
Pathway Response Glutathione metabolism hsa00480
Ferroptosis hsa04216
Cell Process Cell ferroptosis
In Vitro Model
hBCs (Brain cells)
In Vivo Model
All animal experiments described in this study were carried out in accordance with the U.K. Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act and were approved by the Experimental Animal Center of Wenzhou Medical University (No. wydw2022-0032). Six-to-eight-weeks old male ICR mice were obtained from Beijing Weitonglihua Experimental Animal Technology Co. Ltd. (Beijing, China). Mice were group-housed in the breeding environment under a 12/12h light/dark cycle, controlled temperature of 20-22 and 50-60% humidity with ad libitum chow and water. All animals were randomized for the research and procedures.
