The SOX4/EZH2/SLC7A11 signaling axis mediates ferroptosis in calcium oxalate crystal deposition-induced kidney injury.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Epigenetic regulation is reported to play a significant role in the pathogenesis of various kidney diseases, including renal cell carcinoma, acute kidney injury, renal fibrosis, diabetic nephropathy, and lupus nephritis. However, the role of epigenetic regulation in calcium oxalate (CaOx) crystal deposition-induced kidney injury remains unclear. Our study demonstrated that the upregulation of enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2)-mediated ferroptosis facilitates CaOx-induced kidney injury. CaOx crystal deposition promoted ferroptosis in vivo and in vitro. Usage of liproxstatin-1 (Lip-1), a ferroptosis inhibitor, mitigated CaOx-induced kidney damage. Single-nucleus RNA-sequencing, RNA-sequencing, immunohistochemical and western blotting analyses revealed that EZH2 was upregulated in kidney stone patients, kidney stone mice, and oxalate-stimulated HK-2 cells. Experiments involving in vivo EZH2 knockout, in vitro EZH2 knockdown, and in vivo GSK-126 (an EZH2 inhibitor) treatment confirmed the protective effects of EZH2 inhibition on kidney injury and ferroptosis. Mechanistically, the results of RNA-sequencing and chromatin immunoprecipitation assays demonstrated that EZH2 regulates ferroptosis by suppressing solute carrier family 7, member 11 (SLC7A11) expression through trimethylation of histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27me3) modification. Additionally, SOX4 regulated ferroptosis by directly modulating EZH2 expression. Thus, this study demonstrated that SOX4 facilitates ferroptosis in CaOx-induced kidney injury through EZH2/H3K27me3-mediated suppression of SLC7A11.
