FTH1- and SAT1-Induced Astrocytic Ferroptosis Is Involved in Alzheimer’s Disease: Evidence from Single-Cell Transcriptomic Analysis

Abstract

Through scRNA-seq analysis, we found that ferroptosis was activated in astrocytes and may contribute to the pathophysiological process in the entorhinal cortex. FTH1 and SAT1 were identified to impact astrocyte ferroptosis. Emotional and cognitive impairment in AD was associated with astrocyte ferroptosis. Our findings provide clues to reveal the pathophysiological processes following AD at the cellular level and highlight potential drug targets for the treatment of AD.
