摘要

Ischemic stroke (IS) represents a harmful neurological disorder with limited treatment options. Ferroptosis accounts for the iron-dependent, nonapoptotic cell death pattern, which shows the feature of fatal lipid ROS accumulation. Nonetheless, ferroptosis-related biomarkers for identifying IS early are currently lacking. The present study focused on investigating the possible ferroptosis-related biomarkers for IS and analyzing their effects on immune infiltration. Altogether five hub differentially expressed ferroptosis-related genes (DEFRGs) were identified from the relevant databases. Additionally, single-cell RNA-sequencing (seq) analysis was conducted for the comprehensive mapping of cell populations based on the IS database. These five hub DEFRGs were analyzed using gene set enrichment analysis, miRNA prediction, and single-cell RNA-seq analysis. A transient middle cerebral artery occlusion mouse model was constructed. We also adopted bioinformatics methods combined with western blot, changes to mitochondria, hematoxylin & eosin staining, Nissl staining, ROS fluorescence staining, immunohistochemistry, and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) to show the involvement of ferroptosis in IS progression. The results revealed that nuclear factor erythroid-derived 2-like 2 (Nfe2l2) was the potential candidate biomarker for IS diagnosis, and ferroptosis may be suppressed via the Nfe2l2/HO-1 pathway. Thus, drug targeting Nfe2l2 can shed novel lights on IS treatment.
