Heat shock protein 72 attenuates atherosclerosis in apolipoprotein E‐deficient mice
Heat shock (HS) + mild electrical stimulation (MES)‐induced heat shock protein (HSP)72 expression prevents atherogenesis in HSP72+/+/ApoE−/− mice. HS + MES‐induced HSP72 expression reduces macrophage infiltration, oxidative stress, JNK activity, and MCP‐1 expression, and alters macrophage polarity from M1 to M2.

High glucose upregulates USP30 in HUVECs, which deubiquitinates and stabilizes TRAF6. Stabilized TRAF6 suppresses GPX4 and SLC7A11, increases ROS/MDA/lipid peroxidation, and activates ferroptosis and apoptosis, leading to impaired angiogenesis and delayed wound healing.

Suppression of miR‐145‐5p alleviates DN‐associated renal tissue damage by inhibiting NRF2/SLC7A11‐mediated ferroptosis of RTECs. ABSTRACT Purpose This study aimed to investigate the molecular mechanism by which the miR‐145‐5p/NRF2/SLC7A11 axis regulates ferroptosis‐mediated renal tubular epithelial cell (RTEC) injury in diabetic nephropathy (DN ...
