Luteolin target HSPB1 regulates endothelial cell ferroptosis to protect against radiation vascular injury.

ABSTRACT: Vascular endothelial damage due to ionizing radiation is the main pathological process of radiation injury and the main cause of damage to various organs in nuclear accidents. Ferroptosis plays an important role in ionizing radiation-induced cell death. We have previously reported that luteolin is highly resistant to ferroptosis. In the present study, body weight, microvessel count, H&E, and Masson staining results showed that luteolin rescued radial vascular injury in vivo. Cell Counting Kit 8 (CCK8), Giemsa staining clarified the anti-ferroptosis ability of luteolin with low toxicity. Malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), NADP+/NADPH, Fe2+ staining, dihydroethidium (DHE) and MitoTracker assays for ferroptosis-related metrics, we found that luteolin enhances human umbilical v
