FBXW7-Mediated Downregulation of GPX4 Aggravates Acute Kidney Injury Following Ischemia‒Reperfusion.
Article in Inflammation, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a prevalent and potentially life-threatening complication characterized by a high incidence and mortality. A large number of studies have emphasized the role of ferroptosis in AKI. Moreover, FBXW7, a ubiquitin ligase, has been implicated in acute organ injury. Analysis of the GEO database (GSE98622) revealed increased FBXW7 mRNA levels in the kidney following ischemia‒reperfusion (IR). However, the role of FBXW7 in AKI has not been elucidated. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the role of FBXW7 in IR-AKI and its underlying mechanisms. Here, we found that IR could induce AKI and increase FBXW7 expression, while the ferroptosis inhibitor Fer-1 alleviated AKI and decreased FBXW7 expression. Furthermore, we treated HK-2 cells with hypoxia for 12 h and reoxygenation for 4 h (H12R4) to simulate IR-AKI and investigated the impact of modulating FBXW7 expression on ferroptosis by employing ferroptosis-related agonists or inhibitors. Our findings revealed that H12R4 induced HK2 ferroptosis and increased the expression of FBXW7. FBXW7 overexpression in control cells exacerbated erastin-induced ferroptosis, and FBXW7 knockdown inhibited ferroptosis in H12R4-treated cells. Mechanistically, we confirmed that FBXW7 can bind to GPX4, a key molecule that inhibits ferroptosis. The half-life of the GPX4 protein decreased after FBXW7 overexpression, GPX4 ubiquitination increased after H12R4, and GPX4 degradation decreased after FBXW7 knockdown. In conclusion, our results indicated that FBXW7 plays an important role in the development of IR-AKI by promoting ferroptosis through the downregulation of GPX4 expression. This study provides new insight into FBXW7 as a potential target for treating AKI.
