- Abstract: Aim To investigate the role of ferrostatin-1(Fer-1)in adriamycin(ADR)induced podocyte inju-ry.Methods Western blot and RT-qPCR were used to detect the expression of the ferroptosis signaling pathway and podocyte injury-related proteins in podo-cytes treated with ADR and Fer-1.The therapeutic effect of Fer-1 on podocytes was screened by CCK-8;malondialdehyde(MDA),glutathione(GSH)and Fe2+kit were used to evaluate the lipid peroxidation level of podocytes.A mouse model of ADR nephropa-thy was constructed in vivo,and the expression of fer-roptosis related proteins in mouse glomerular podocytes was detected by Western blot and RT-qPCR.The fer-roptosis level of kidney was evaluated by immunohisto-chemistry staining of 4-HNE.Results The expression level of ACSL4,a marker related to ferroptosis,was significantly up-regulated.GPX4 and SLC7A11 were significantly down-regulated in podocytes under ADR stimulation.Compared with the ADR group,Fer-1 in-tervention could partially restore the anomalous change of ferroptosis related protein and improve the expression level of podocellular damage protein desmin.The re-sults of MDA,GSH and Fe2+showed that Fer-1 could improve the lipid peroxidation level of podocytes.The expression level of ACSL4 was significantly up-regula-ted and GPX4 and SLC7A11 were significantly up-reg-ulated in the ADR model group.IHC staining of 4-HNE increased in ADR model group.Conclusions Adriamycin promotes podocyte injury by induced ferrop-tosis,and inhibiting ferroptosis may be a potential strat-egy to prevent the progression of ADR nephropathy.
