Abstract
BACKGROUND: Neuronal ferroptosis is a major cause of cognitive impairment and mortality in patients with sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE). A low dose of acetaminophen (APAP) in septic mice can prevent ferroptosis in the hippocampal tissue; however, the underlying mechanism is unknown. This study aimed to investigate the mechanism by which APAP reduces ferroptosis in the hippocampal tissues of septic mice. METHODS: A mouse model of SAE was established, and the ferroptosis pathway inhibitors RSL3 and iFSP1+RSL3 were used in addition to APAP for the interventions, respectively. The 7-day survival rate of the mice was recorded, and cognitive function was examined using the Morris water maze test. Hematoxylin and eosin staining was performed to observe hippocampal tissue damage. Hippocampal iron and malondialdehyde (MDA) were measured using chemical colorimetric methods. Immunofluorescence was used to detect the reactive oxygen species (ROS) content in hippocampal tissues. RESULTS: RSL3 reversed the efficacy of APAP on improving cognitive dysfunction in septic mice but did not obviously reverse the survival rate of mice enhanced by APAP. RSL3 aggravated APAP-induced hippocampal tissue damage in mice attenuated by APAP. RSL3 inhibited glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) expression and increased ferroptosis suppressor protein 1 (FSP1) and 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (4-HNE) expression. RSL3 also reversed the effects of APAP in reducing iron, MDA, and ROS levels in the hippocampal tissues of septic mice. iFSP1+RSL3 further reversed the effect of APAP on ameliorating cognitive dysfunction in septic mice and successfully reversed the survival rate of mice enhanced by APAP. iFSP1+RSL3 aggravated APAP-induced cerebral hippocampal damage. iFSP1+RSL3 inhibited both GPX4 and FSP1, further reversing the effect of APAP on the reduction in iron, 4-HNE, ROS, and MDA levels in the cerebral hippocampus of mice with sepsis. CONCLUSION: These data suggest that APAP inhibits ferroptosis in the cerebral hippocampus of septic mice through the GPX4 and FSP1 pathways.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
