Enriched Environment Attenuates Ferroptosis after Cerebral Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury via the HIF-1α-ACSL4 Pathway
Enriched environment (EE) has been proven to be an effective intervention strategy which can improve neurofunctional recovery following cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. However, it still needs further investigation for the underlying mechanisms. Recently, it has been shown that ferroptosi...

description | Enriched environment (EE) has been proven to be an effective intervention strategy which can improve neurofunctional recovery following cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. However, it still needs further investigation for the underlying mechanisms. Recently, it has been shown that ferroptosis played an essential role in the pathophysiological development of ischemic stroke (IS). This study is aimed at investigating whether EE plays a neuroprotective role by attenuating ferroptosis after cerebral I/R injury. We used middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion (MCAO/R) to build a model of cerebral I/R injury. To evaluate the effect of EE on neurological recovery, we used the modified neurological severity score (mNSS) and the Morris water maze (MWM). We used the western blot to detect the protein levels of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), and acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4 (ACSL4). We used the quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) to measure the mRNA levels of ACSL4 and inflammatory cytokines including tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β). The occurrence of ferroptosis was detected by TdT-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) assay, diaminobenzidine- (DAB-) enhanced Perls' staining, iron level assays, and malondialdehyde (MDA) level assays. The results verified that EE enhanced functional recovery and attenuated ferroptosis and neuroinflammation after cerebral I/R injury. EE increased the expression of HIF-1α while inhibited the expression of ACSL4. Our research indicated that EE improved functional recovery after cerebral I/R injury through attenuating ferroptosis, and this might be related to its regulation of the neuroinflammation and HIF-1α-ACSL4 pathway. |
