PG - 1351-1363 LID - 10.1007/s11011-022-00988-5 [doi] AB - Cerebral ischemia is a common cerebrovascular disease with high mortality and disability rate. Exploring its mechanism is essential for developing effective treatment for cerebral ischemia. Therefore, this study aims to explore the regulatory effect and mechanism of retinoid X receptor gamma (RXRgamma) on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. A mouse intraluminal middle cerebral artery occlusion model was established, and PC12 cells were exposed to anaerobic/reoxygenation (A/R) as an in vitro model in this study. Cerebral I/R surgery or A/R treatment induced ferroptosis, downregulated RXRgamma and GPX4 (glutathione peroxidase 4) levels, upregulated cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) level and increased ROS (reactive oxygen species) level in A/R induced cells or I/R brain tissues in vivo or PC12 cells in vitro. Knockdown of RXRgamma downregulated GPX4 and increased COX-2 and ROS levels in A/R induced cells. RXRgamma overexpression has the opposite effect. GPX4 knockdown reversed the improvement of RXRgamma overexpression on COX-2 downregulation, GPX4 upregulation and ferroptosis in PC12 cells. Furthermore, chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and luciferase reporter gene assays revealed that RXRgamma bound to GPX4 promoter region and activated its transcription. Overexpression of RXRgamma or GPX4 alleviated brain damage and inhibited ferroptosis in I/R mice. In conclusion, RXRgamma-mediated transcriptional activation of GPX4 might inhibit ferroptosis during I/R-induced brain injury. CI - (c) 2022.
