Isovitexin targets SIRT3 to prevent steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head by modulating mitophagy-mediated ferroptosis by Yinuo Fan, Zhiwen Chen, Haixing Wang, Mengyu Jiang, Hongduo Lu, Yangwenxiang Wei, Yunhao Hu, Liang Mo, Yuhao Liu, Chi Zhou, Wei He, Zhenqiu Chen

“…Additionally, we discovered that Isovitexin, by promoting SIRT3 expression, effectively regulated mitophagy, preserved mitochondrial homeostasis in osteoblasts, suppressed ferroptosis, and restored osteogenic capacity, leading to remarkable improvements in SIONFH. These findings reveal the effects and molecular mechanisms of Isovitexin on SIONFH and highlight the potential of targeting SIRT3 as a promising strategy to suppress mitophagy-mediated ferroptosis in osteoblasts and against SIONFH.…”
