MiR-3587 Inhibitor Attenuates Ferroptosis Following Renal Ischemia-Reperfusion Through HO-1.

ABSTRACT: Renal ischemia-reperfusion (IR) is frequently observed in patients who are critically ill, yet there are no reliable or effective approaches for the treatment of this condition. Ferroptosis, a form of programmed cell death, is regulated by key genes such as glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) and heme oxygenase-1 (HMOX1) and participates in the injury of renal tubular epithelial cells during IR. This study aimed to investigate the miRNA-mRNA regulatory networks involved in ferroptosis following renal IR. Using bioinformatics analysis, HMOX1 was found to be significantly upregulated during the early stages of renal IR injury, and microRNA-3587 (miR-3587) was identified as a putative regulator of HMOX1. When a miR-3587 inhibitor was applied in a hypoxia-reoxygenation
