Figure Lengend Snippet: Sirt1 inhibited CaOx‐induced ferroptosis in tubular epithelium. A) Sirt1 activation and overexpression restored the cell viability of COM‐treated HK‐2 cells evaluated by CCK‐8. B, C) Lipid peroxidation in HK‐2 cells was determined by BODIPY C11 staining and flow cytometry. D) Sirt1 activation and overexpression reduced the level of MDA in COM‐treated HK‐2 cells. Immunoblotting E) and qPCR F) revealed the expression of ferroptosis associated markers in HK‐2 cells. In vivo, mice were pretreated with SRT1720/EX527 and then induced to establish a model of CaOx nephrocalcinosis. Immunoblotting G) and qPCR H) revealed the expression of ferroptosis associated markers in HK‐2 cells. The deposition of CaOx was observed under a polarized light microscopy I) and evaluated by Pizzolato staining J). K) PAS staining was used for the scoring of tubular injury. The blue arrows highlight damaged renal tubules. L) IHC staining was performed to test the level of GPX4 and 4HNE in mouse kidney. M) The changes of mitochondrial morphology in tubular epithelium were observed by TEM. The red arrows indicate the morphologically abnormal mitochondria, characterized by mitochondrial shrinkage and disorganized cristae. N, O) The serum levels of creatinine and BUN were detected to assess kidney function. P) MDA in tissues of mice kidney was quantified. Q) The expression of KIM‐1 mRNA in tissues of mice kidney was determined by qPCR. Data were presented as mean ± SD, n = 3 for in vitro experiments and n = 6 for in vivo experiments. P value was determined by one‐way (C, D, F, H, N‐Q) or two‐way (A) ANOVA. * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001; **** p < 0.0001.
