Graphical abstract A proposed model illustrating the therapeutic effect of QCT on AKI. QCT inhibits the expression of ATF3. While ATF3 blocks the system Xc-, and then suppresses GPX4, inducing ferroptosis. In another side, ferroptotic cells secrete chemokines like CCL2, CCL7, induce the recruitment of macrophages, and then cause the inflammation in AKI. In summary, QCT ameliorates AKI through the inhibition on ferroptosis and the following inflammation.
