NRF2 Deficiency Promotes Ferroptosis of Astrocytes Mediated by Oxidative Stress in Alzheimer's Disease.

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
Oxidative stress is involved in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD), which is linked to reactive oxygen species (ROS), lipid peroxidation, and neurotoxicity. Emerging evidence suggests a role of nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (Nrf2), a major source of antioxidant response elements in AD. The molecular mechanism of oxidative stress and ferroptosis in astrocytes in AD is not yet fully understood. Here, we aimed to investigate the mechanism by which Nrf2 regulates the ferroptosis of astrocytes in AD. We found decreased expression of Nrf2 and upregulated expression of the ROS marker NADPH oxidase 4 (NOX4) in the frontal cortex from patients with AD and in the cortex of 3×Tg mice compared to wildtype mice. We demonstrated that Nrf2 deficiency led to ferroptosis-dependent oxidative stress-induced ROS with downregulated heme oxygenase-1 and glutathione peroxidase 4 and upregulated cystine glutamate expression. Moreover, Nrf2 deficiency increased lipid peroxidation, DNA oxidation, and mitochondrial fragmentation in mouse astrocytes (mAS, M1800-57). In conclusion, these results suggest that Nrf2 deficiency promotes ferroptosis of astrocytes involving oxidative stress in AD.
