H2S Protects from Rotenone-Induced Ferroptosis by Stabilizing Fe-S Clusters in Rat Cardiac Cells
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has been recently recognized as an important gasotransmitter with cardioprotections, and iron is vital for various cellular activities. This study explored the regulatory role of H2S on iron metabolism and mitochondrial functions in cultured rat cardiac cells. Rotenone, a mitochondrial complex I inhibitor, was used for establishing an in vitro model of ischemic cell damage. It was first found that rotenone induced oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation and decreased mitochondrial membrane potential and ATP generation, eventually causing cell death. The supplement of H2S at a physiologically relevant concentration protected from rotenone-induced ferroptotic cell death by reducing oxidative stress and mitochondrial damage, maintaining GPx4 expression and intracellular iron level. Deferiprone, an iron chelator, would also protect from rotenone-induced ferroptosis. Further studies demonstrated that H2S inhibited ABCB8-mediated iron efflux from mitochondria to cytosol and promoted NFS1-mediated Fe-S cluster biogenesis. It is also found that rotenone stimulated iron-dependent H2S generation. These results indicate that H2S would protect cardiac cells from ischemic damage through preserving mitochondrial functions and intracellular Fe-S cluster homeostasis.

Full frame distilled prediction
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
