Nonetheless, whether the specific mechanism of this is related to the transdifferentiation of VSMCs to a bone-like phenotype, loss in SMC lineage markers, enhanced pro-calcific microRNAs, increased intracellular calcium level, apoptosis, or aberrant DNA damage response (DDR) requires further investigation
Notably, a similar phenomenon was observed in neurons from patients with MS, characterized by upregulated STING expression and markedly reduced STIM1 expression, suggesting that STIM1-STING-GPX4 axis-mediated ferroptosis is closely associated with neuronal injury in human MS pathology (Woo et al., 2024)

These in vivo results align with the in vitro data, consolidating the understanding that GHK-Cu exerts its protective effects in ALI by inhibiting excessive inflammatory responses through its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, mediated by the suppression of NF-B and p38 MAPK signaling pathways [1]
