Astaxanthin mitigates doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity via inhibiting ferroptosis and autophagy: a study based on bioinformatic analysis and in vivo/vitro experiments by Bowen Yin, Jingyi Ren, Xuanyi Liu, Yadong Zhang, Jinshi Zuo, Rui Wen, Huanting Pei, Miaomiao Lu, Siqi Zhu, Zhenao Zhang, Ziyi Wang, Yanyi Zhai, Yuxia Ma

“…Specifically, ASX upregulates solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11) and glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), while downregulating the expression of transferrin receptor 1 (TFRC), ferritin heavy chain (FTH1) and ferritin light chain (FTL). Additionally, ASX enhances the expression of P62 and decreases levels of Beclin1 and microtubule-associated proteins light chain 3 (LC3).ConclusionOur results indicate that ferroptosis and autophagy are critical factors influencing the occurrence and progression of DOX-induced cardiotoxicity. …”
