Maresin1 Inhibits Ferroptosis via the Nrf2/SLC7A11/GPX4 Pathway to Protect Against Sepsis-Induced Acute Liver Injury by Guo Y, Chen H, Sun J, Zhang J, Yin Y

“…This study aims to investigate the molecular involvement of MaR1 in protecting against sepsis-induced acute liver injury (SI-ALI).Methods: In vivo, a murine SI-ALI model was established using the cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) paradigm, providing a system in which the mechanistic functions of MaR1 could be tested. These analyses were supplemented through in vitro assays in which Alpha mouse liver 12 (AML12) hepatocytes and RAW264.7 macrophages were co-cultured in a Transwell system, with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation being used to establish a sepsis model. …”
