In this study, the molecular mechanism of fucoidan in ischemia-reperfusion induced ferroptosis was elucidated through measuring lipid peroxidation levels, mitochondrial morphology, and key pathways. The results showed that fucoidan inhibited ferroptosis in liver ischemia-reperfusion injury by eliminating reactive oxygen species, inhibiting lipid peroxidation, and reducing iron accumulation.
Background and Aims: Liver ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury is a common pathological process in liver surgery. Ferroptosis, which is closely related to lipid peroxidation, has recently been confirmed to be involved in the pathogenesis of IR injury. However, the development of drugs that regulate ferroptosis has been slow, and a complete understanding of the mechanisms underlying ferroptosis has not yet been achieved. Fucoidan (Fu) is a sulfated polysaccharide that has attracted research interest due to its advantages of easy access and wide biological activity. Methods: In this study, we established models of IR injury using erastin as an activator of ferroptosis, with the ferroptosis inhibitor ferrostatin-1 (Fer1) as the control. We clarified the molecular mechanism of fucoidan in IR-induced ferroptosis by determining lipid peroxidation levels, mitochondrial morphology, and key pathways in theta were involved. Results: Ferroptosis was closely related to IR-induced hepatocyte injury. The use of fucoidan or Fer-1 inhibited ferroptosis by eliminating reactive oxygen species and inhibiting lipid peroxidation and iron accumulation, while those effects were reversed after treatment with ture, and active oxygen generation related to ferroptosis also inhibited the entry of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) into the nucleus and reduced downstream heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) pro tein levels. However, fucoidan pretreatment produced adaptive changes that reduced irreversible cell damage induced by IR or erastin. Conclusions: Fucoidan inhibited ferroptosis in liver IR injury via the Nrf2/HO-1/GPX4 axis.
