doi: 10.1016/j.neurot.2026.e01088

Figure Lengend Snippet: AMPK inhibition completely abolishes CCR5-mediated GPX4 maintenance and anti-ferroptotic protection. (A–B) SH-SY5Y cells were treated with the AMPK inhibitor Compound C (COC, 10 μM) and cultured under hypoxia-ischemia-mimicking conditions. Representative western blots (A) and quantitative analyses (B) of phosphorylated AMPK (p-AMPK), total AMPK, phosphorylated ACC (p-ACC), total ACC, and the corresponding phosphorylation ratios were shown. (C–E) Under the same experimental conditions, representative western blots (C) and quantitative analyses (D) of CCR5 and GPX4 protein expression, together with MDA levels (E), were shown. β-Tubulin or β-actin were used as a loading control.

Article Title: ZXDB Drives Macrophage Inflammatory Programming in Sepsis‐Induced Acute Kidney Injury by Recruiting EIF4A3 to Enhance ACACA Translation

doi: 10.1096/fj.202502962RR

Figure Lengend Snippet: Schematic diagram of the proposed mechanism by which ZXDB promotes M1‐like macrophage polarization and exacerbates SI‐AKI. In macrophage, ZXDB interacts with EIF4A3, promoting the translation of the ACACA gene. The resulting increase in ACACA protein expression enhances glycolysis and lactate production. This metabolic reprogramming shifts macrophage polarization toward M1‐like macrophage activation (characterized by increased Cd86, Cd80, Cd40, and iNOS) and away from an anti‐inflammatory M2‐like phenotype (characterized by Cd206, Cd163, and Arg1). The dominance of M1‐like macrophages leads to an elevated secretion of pro‐inflammatory cytokines (TNF‐α, IFN‐γ, IL‐1β) and reduced anti‐inflammatory cytokines (IL‐10, IL‐4, IL‐13), which collectively drive the pathogenesis of acute kidney injury.
