Abstract

s Acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4 (ACSL4) is an important isozyme for polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) metabolism that dictates ferroptosis sensitivity. The role of ACSL4 in the progression of ischemic stroke is unclear. Here, we found that ACSL4 expression was suppressed in the early phase of ischemic stroke and this suppression was induced by HIF-1α. Knockdown of ACSL4 protected mice against brain ischemia, whereas, forced overexpression of ACSL4 exacerbated ischemic brain injury. ACSL4 promoted neuronal death via enhancing lipid peroxidation, a marker of ferroptosis. Moreover, knockdown of ACSL4 inhibited proinflammatory cytokine production in microglia. These data identify ACSL4 as a novel regulator of neuronal death and neuroinflammation, and interventions of ACSL4 expression may provide a potential therapeutic target in ischemic stroke.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
