New research on Biotechnology Bioinformatics is the subject of a report. According to news reporting from Yangzhou, People’s Republic of China, by NewsRx journalists, research stated, “Lead (Pb), a pervasive and ancient toxic heavy metal, continues to pose significant neurological health risks, particularly in regions such as Southeast Asia. While previous research has primarily focused on the adverse effects of acute, high-level lead exposure on neurological systems, studies on the impacts of chronic, low-level exposure are less extensive, especially regarding the precise mechanisms linking ferroptosis a novel type of neuron cell death with cognitive impairment.” The news correspondents obtained a quote from the research from Northern Jiangsu People’s Hospital, “This study aims to explore the potential effects of chronic low-level lead exposure on cognitive function and hippocampal neuronal ferroptosis. This research represents the first comprehensive investigation into the impact of chronic low-level lead exposure on hippocampal neuronal ferroptosis, spanning clinical settings, bioinformatic analyses, and experimental validation. Our findings reveal significant alterations in the expression of genes associated with iron metabolism and Nrf2-dependent ferroptosis following lead exposure, as evidenced by comparing gene expression in the peripheral blood of lead-acid battery workers and workers without lead exposure. Furthermore, our in vitro and in vivo experimental results strongly suggest that lead exposure may precipitate cognitive dysfunction and induce hippocampal neuronal ferroptosis.”
