Mechanistic investigation revealed that Kruppel-like factor 2 (Klf2) is a potential target of phylloquinone and participates in its neuroprotective effects. These findings indicate that phylloquinone protects neurons from OGD-induced injury by inhibiting ferroptosis through the xCT/GPX4 pathway, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic candidate for ischemic neuronal damage.
Countstar Connection
The study's cell samples underwent cell-count and viability assessment with a Countstar instrument during cell-culture monitoring.
