Background: Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) is a pathological process that causes severe damage. Propofol is known to alleviate I/R-related injury; however, the exact function and underlying mechanisms are not fully understood.

Methods: Using an oxygen glucose deprivation/re-oxygenation (OGD/R) method, an I/R injury model was induced. The cell viability and the level of Fe, glutathione synthetase (GSH), and malondialdehyde (MDA) were evaluated using kits. Luciferase reporter gene assay, chromatin immunoprecipitation, and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) were used to verify the interaction between molecules. The m6A level of BECN1 mRNA was determined through methylated RIP.

Results: Propofol-treated OGD/R models showed reduced levels of Fe and MDA, while the cell viability and the level of GSH increased. Propofol inhibited ferroptosis by down-regulating HIF-1α in OGD/R-treated HT22 cells. HIF-1α is bound to the promoter region of YTHDF1 to promote its transcription, and YTHDF1 promoted ferroptosis by stabilizing the mRNA of BECN1. The suppressive effect of propofol on OGD/R-induced ferroptosis was reversed by the overexpression of YTHDF1.

Conclusions: Our study revealed that the HIF-1α/YTHDF1/BECN1 axis in OGD/R-treated HT22 cells promotes ferroptosis, and administration of propofol can inhibit this axis to avoid cell death. This study provides a novel insight for the neuroprotective function of propofol.

Mitochondrial dysfunction and ferroptosis play crucial roles in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) following heart transplantation. Microsomal glutathione s transferase 1 (MGST1) is widely distributed in mitochondria and has a protective effect against ferroptosis, and its involvement in myocardial I/R injury has not yet been elucidated. In this study, donor hearts from C57BL/6 male mice were subjected to 12 h of ex-vivo cold ischemia treatment and transplanted into the abdomen of recipient mice for 24 h of reperfusion.

Cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) is a serious complication in patients with ischemic stroke. Senkyunolide A (SenA) can alleviate neuronal cell damage induced by cerebral I/R; however, the exact action mechanism remains unclear. An in vitro cellular injury model was established by inducing PC-12 cells with OGD/R.

Objective: Post-resuscitation brain injury is a common sequela after cardiac arrest (CA). Increasing sirtuin1 (SIRT1) has been involved in neuroprotection in oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) neurons, and we investigated its mechanism in post-cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) rat brain injury by mediating p65 deacetylation modification to mediate hippocampal neuronal ferroptosis.

Methods: Sprague-Dawley rat CA/CPR model was established and treated with Ad-SIRT1 and Ad-GFP adenovirus vectors, or Erastin.

Growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) can be induced under various stress conditions. This study aimed to explore the role of GDF15 in oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R)-induced HT22 cells. OGD/R was employed to induce the HT22 cell model, and GDF15 expression was upregulated via transfection.
