Abstract
Pb can enhance blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier (BCSFB) permeability and accumulate in brain tissue, leading to central nervous system (CNS) dysfunction. Choroid plexus (CP) epithelial cells are the main components of the BCSFB with crucial functions in BCSFB maintenance. However, the mechanism by which Pb exposure affects CP epithelial cells remains unclear. Here, ferroptosis was identified as the major programmed cell death modality by sophisticated high-throughput sequencing and biochemical investigations in primary cultured CP epithelial cells following Pb exposure. Bioinformatics analysis using the ferroptosis database revealed that 16 ferroptosis-related genes were differentially expressed in primary cultured CP epithelial cells following Pb exposure. Among them, Gpx4, Slc7a11, Tfrc, and Slc40a1 were hub ferroptosis-related genes. In addition, CP epithelial cells can be impaired when the concentration of the Pb2+ reached 2050 μg/L (10 μM PbAc), which included the decrease of cell viability, Gpx4 and Slc7a11 proteins expression, etc. Moreover, inhibition of ferroptosis enhanced CP epithelial cell viability and reduced BCSFB permeability in vitro following Pb exposure. In summary, ferroptosis of CP epithelial cells is involved in BCSFB dysfunction following Pb exposure. Gpx4, Slc7a11, Tfrc, and Slc40a1 are hub ferroptosis-related genes in CP epithelial cells.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a novel regulated cell death characterized by metabolic disorders and iron-dependent oxidative destruction of the lipid bilayer. It is primarily caused by the imbalance of oxidation and anti-oxidation in the body and is precisely regulated by numerous factors and pathways inside and outside the cell. Recent studies have indicated that ferroptosis plays a vital role in the pathophysiological process of multiple systems of the body including the nervous system. Ferroptosis may be closely linked to the occurrence and development of neurodegenerative diseases, strokes, and brain tumors. It may also be involved in the development, maturation, and aging of the nervous system. Therefore, this study aims to investigate ferroptosis’s occurrence and regulatory mechanism and summarize its research progress in the pathogenesis and treatment of neurological diseases. This would allow for novel ideas for basic and clinical research of neurological diseases.
