Combination of Deferoxamine With Cyclosporine Synergistically Blunt Renal Cold Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury in Rat Transplantation Model.

Objectives: Ferroptosis plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of renal ischemia-reperfusion injury, where the processes are mediated by free ferrous ions and mitochondrial-released reactive oxygen species. However, the administration of high doses of cyclosporine A (CsA) or deferoxamine (DFO) poses a significant risk of renotoxicity. In contrast, low doses of DFO act as a ferrous iron chelator, and CsA functions as a mitochondrial reactive oxygen species blocker.

EGR1 Regulates SHANK3 Transcription at Different Stages of Brain Development.

The expression levels of SHANK3 are associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The dynamic changes in SHANK3 expression during different stages of brain development may impact the progression of ASD. However, no studies or detailed analyses exploring the upstream mechanisms that regulate SHANK3 expression have been reported.
