NOX4 promotes ferroptosis of astrocytes by oxidative stress-induced lipid peroxidation via the impairment of mitochondrial metabolism in Alzheimer’s diseases
Open accessAbstract
Oxidative stress has been implicated in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Mitochondrial dysfunction is linked to oxidative stress and reactive oxygen species (ROS) in neurotoxicity during AD. Impaired mitochondrial metabolism has been associated with mitochondrial dysfunction in brain damage of AD. While the role of NADPH oxidase 4 (NOX4), a major source of ROS, has been identified in brain damage, the mechanism by which NOX4 regulates ferroptosis of astrocytes in AD remains unclear. Here, we show that the protein levels of NOX4 were significantly elevated in impaired astrocytes of cerebral cortex from patients with AD and APP/PS1 double-transgenic mouse model of AD. The levels of 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) and malondialdehyde (MDA), a marker of oxidative stress-induced lipid peroxidation, were significantly also elevated in impaired astrocytes of patients with AD and mouse AD. We demonstrate that the over-expression of NOX4 significantly increases the impairment of mitochondrial metabolism by inhibition of mitochondrial respiration and ATP production via the reduction of five protein complexes in the mitochondrial ETC in human astrocytes. Moreover, the elevation of NOX4 induces oxidative stress by mitochondrial ROS (mtROS) production, mitochondrial fragmentation, and inhibition of cellular antioxidant process in human astrocytes. Furthermore, the elevation of NOX4 increased ferroptosis-dependent cytotoxicity by the activation of oxidative stress-induced lipid peroxidation in human astrocytes. These results suggest that NOX4 promotes ferroptosis of astrocytes by oxidative stress-induced lipid peroxidation via the impairment of mitochondrial metabolism in AD.
Overview

Written from the paper’s full text.
TL;DR
NOX4 protein is elevated in impaired astrocytes in AD patient cortex and APP/PS1 mouse cortex, where lipid peroxidation markers 4-HNE and MDA are also increased. In human astrocytes, NOX4 overexpression impairs mitochondrial metabolism, induces oxidative stress and antioxidant suppression, and promotes ferroptosis-like lipid peroxidation and cytotoxicity.
Key findings
- NOX4 levels were significantly elevated in GFAP-positive impaired astrocytes in AD cortex versus non-AD cortex (n = 3 per group, n = 10 images per subject; p < 0.01) and in APP/PS1 mouse cortex versus WT (n = 5 per group, n = 10 images per subject; p < 0.01).
- Oxidative stress-induced lipid peroxidation markers 4-HNE and MDA were significantly elevated in impaired astrocytes of AD patients and APP/PS1 mice, and 4-HNE co-localized with NOX4-positive astrocytes (p < 0.01).
- In human astrocytes, NOX4 overexpression significantly suppressed basal and oligomycin/FCCP-responsive oxygen consumption rate, reduced mitochondrial ATP production, and reduced protein levels of all five mitochondrial ETC complexes: Complex I NDUFB8, Complex II SDHB, Complex III UQCRC2, Complex IV MTCO1, and Complex V ATP5F1A (p < 0.05 or p < 0.01).
- NOX4 overexpression increased mtROS and mitochondrial fragmentation, reduced GSH and GSH/GSSG, increased GSSG, inhibited NRF2 nuclear translocation and HO-1/GCL, and increased 4-HNE, MDA, iron accumulation, morphological cell death, and LDH cytotoxicity (p < 0.05 or p < 0.01).
Methods
- Postmortem human brain tissues: 12 paraffin-embedded tissues from 3 AD donors (frontal, occipital, temporal, parietal cortex) and 4 normal adult brain tissues from 4 donors; immunofluorescence analyzed NOX4, 4-HNE, MDA, GFAP, and Tomm20. APP/PS1 double-transgenic mice were compared with WT mice.
- Human astrocytes were transduced with pCMV6-AC-GFP-NOX4 or vector. Assays included Seahorse XF96e OCR and real-time ATP rate, immunoblot for mitochondrial ETC complexes, MitoSOX flow for mtROS, GSH/GSSG and GSSG measurements, NRF2 nuclear/cytosolic fractionation, HO-1 and GCL levels/activity, iron colorimetric assay, LDH cytotoxicity, and 3D imaging.
- Statistics used Shapiro-Wilk and Levene’s tests, two-tailed Student’s t-test for two groups, and ANOVA with Dunnett’s post hoc for multiple groups; significance was p < 0.05, p < 0.01, or p < 0.001.
Limitations
- Stated: it remains unclear whether the impaired astrocytes with high NOX4 have reactive astrocyte function in AD, and further study is needed on the role of NOX4 in reactive astrocytes. The authors also state that further study is needed to identify secreted molecules from NOX4-induced ferroptosis as potential diagnostic markers.
- Evident from the text: the human sample is small (3 AD donors and 4 normal donors), and the mechanistic causality in human astrocytes relies mainly on NOX4 overexpression; the text does not report NOX4 knockdown, NOX4 inhibition, or ferroptosis-blockade rescue experiments.
- Evident from the text: APP/PS1 mouse data are descriptive immunofluorescence comparisons, without in vivo NOX4 manipulation reported.

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.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-10, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-10 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
