摘要

Ferroptosis is a death mode centered on iron metabolism and lipid peroxidation pathways. Recent studies have shown that inhibiting ferroptosis can alleviate intestinal ischemia/reperfusion (II/R) injury. Hydrogen (H2) can mitigate II/R injury by anti-oxidative stress, while Silicon (Si)-based agent can generate a large amount of H2 in the alkaline environment of the intestine during II/R. However, it is unclear whether Si-based agent can alleviate II/R injury. By establishing a mouse model of II/R injury, we examined the histopathological changes, apoptosis, inflammatory factors, oxidative stress, and ferroptosis levels in the small intestine. We found that the AMPK-Sirt1 pathway is activated in the small intestine of mice after II/R, and Si-based agent can further activate this pathway, alleviating intestinal injury, inhibiting apoptosis, reversing inflammation and oxidative stress, and suppressing ferroptosis in mice after II/R. Furthermore, by administering AMPK agonists and inhibitors, as well as ferroptosis inhibitors for further exploration, we discovered that the hydrogen generated by Si-based agent may inhibit ferroptosis and alleviate II/R injury through the AMPK-Sirt1 signaling pathway. This study provides theoretical and experimental evidence for elucidating the pathogenesis of intestinal ischemia/reperfusion injury and for the clinical application of Si-based agent.
