AI Technical Summary
The existing ferrodysfunction inhibitors have poor bioavailability, high toxicity and low specificity, which cannot effectively inhibit ferrodysfunction in sepsis, resulting in severe inflammatory response and organ damage.
The functions of EfeB and HemH were predicted through bioinformatic analysis, and the recombinant proteins rEfeB and rHemH were constructed and expressed, binding and transporting free iron ions in the cell, inhibiting iron death.
It provides high-purity, low-cytotoxic ferrodysfunction inhibitors, which can effectively reduce the concentration of iron ions in cells, reduce the production of ROS and lipid peroxides, promote GPX4 expression, inhibit iron death, and reduce inflammation and organ damage caused by sepsis.
