Sodium formate induces development-dependent intestinal epithelial injury via necroptosis and apoptosis by Jingjing Wei, Yuan Tian, Meiqi Guan, Jinshu Wei, Yong Ji, Guozhong Tao, Karl G. Sylvester

“…Mice were sacrificed after 24 h of feces collection, and the blood and small intestinal tissues were collected to detect the pathological damage of intestinal tissue, intestinal permeability, oxidative stress indicators including SOD, HO-1, MDA, and 4-HNE, inflammatory cytokines including IL-1β, TNF-α and IL-6, mitochondrial function such as ATP and PGC-1α in mice intestinal tissue, indicators of the cell death modes including necroptosis-related protein RIPK1 and p-MLKL, and apoptosis- related protein cleaved-caspase-3 and p-AKT (S473).Results NaF treatment significantly damaged intestinal epithelial tissue and barrier function, caused mitochondrial dysfunction, manifesting as decreased ATP and PGC-1α levels, increased lipid peroxidation products MDA and 4-HNE, depleted antioxidant enzyme SOD, and upregulated the expression of HO-1. …”
