The protective mechanism of protein kinase R to inhibit neuronal ferroptosis in cerebral injury from subarachnoid hemorrhage.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To investigate the role and mechanism of protein kinase R (PKR) in subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH)-mediated ferroptosis.

Methods

A rat SAH model was constructed and treated with PKR inhibitor C16 to observe SAH and neurological impairment in rats and to detect malonaldehyde (MDA), iron ions content, ferritin heavy polypeptide 1 (FTH1) and glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), and other related ferroptosis indicators in brain tissue. RNA sequencing analysis was used to investigate the mechanism of PKR, affecting the ferroptosis network of SAH.

Results

SAH caused severe fundic hemorrhage, neurological impairment, MDA and iron ion accumulation, and significant decrease in GPX4 and FTH1 levels in rats. C16 treatment significantly improved the above signs caused by SAH. B
