Article Abstract
Background: Ovarian cancer (OC) is the most lethal gynecological cancer often diagnosed at an advanced stage due to a lack of effective biomarkers. Ferritin light chain (FTL) is implicated in the development of various cancers, but its impact on OC remains unknown.
Research Design And Methods: Bioinformatics methods were utilized to analyze FTL. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, western blot, and immunohistochemistry were employed for expression detection, and cell counting kit- 8, and transwell assays were for cell biological functions assessment. Extracellular acidification rate, oxygen consumption rate, and glycolytic metabolite contents were measured. Dual-luciferase and chromatin immunoprecipitation assay validated binding relationship. Xenografted tumor models in nude mice verified the role of FTL .
Results: Cell function experiments revealed that FTL facilitated proliferation, migration, and invasion of OC cells. Rescue experiments unveiled that 2-Deoxy-D-glucose attenuated stimulation on OC cell metastasis and glycolysis by FTL overexpression. Salmonella pathogenicity island 1 (SPI1) up-regulated FTL expression to promote glycolysis and metastasis. FTL knockdown inhibited tumor growth and suppressed glycolysis and cell metastasis , while SPI1 overexpression attenuated these effects.
Conclusions: This study demonstrated pro-metastatic mechanisms of transcription factor SPI1/FTL axis in OC and suggested it as a potential target for treating OC metastasis.

Radiation-induced brain injury (RIBI) is a prevalent complication following radiotherapy for head and neck tumors, and its effective therapeutic strategies are lacking. Ferroptosis, an iron-dependent cell death, has recently emerged as an important mechanism of radiation-induced cell death. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a noninvasive neuro-interventional technique with antioxidant and neuroprotective properties.

Programmed cell death (PCD) refers to a regulated cellular process involving a cascade of biochemical reactions and molecular mechanisms, commonly including apoptosis, necroptosis, and pyroptosis. Ferroptosis is a recently identified form of PCD distinguished by its dependence on iron. Emerging evidence underscores the significance of ferroptosis in viral infections; however, its role in Pseudorabies virus (PRV) infection, an enveloped double-stranded DNA virus belonging to the Alphaherpesvirinae subfamily, remains poorly understood.

Purpose: To evaluate the immunogenic potential of three different nanoparticle (NP) platforms for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) prefusion (pre-F) protein vaccines.
Methods: Three NP platforms-24-mer ferritin (Fe), 60-mer lumazine synthase (LuS), and 120-subunit I53-50-were engineered to display RSV pre-F trimers (DS2) via SpyTag-SpyCatcher (ST-SC) conjugation (DS2-Fe, DS2-LuS) or direct genetic fusion (DS2-I53-50). The assembled particles were characterized using size-exclusion chromatography (SEC), SDS-PAGE, electron microscopy (EM), and dynamic light scattering (DLS).

Understanding cellular and molecular drivers of age-related cognitive decline is necessary to identify targets to restore cognition at old age. Here we identify ferritin light chain 1 (FTL1), an iron-associated protein, as a pro-aging neuronal factor that impairs cognition. Using transcriptomic and mass spectrometry approaches, we detect an increase in neuronal FTL1 in the hippocampus of aged mice, the levels of which correlate with cognitive decline.
