Article Abstract

Ferroptosis, a newly identified type of regulated cell death characterized by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation, is crucial in multiple pathological conditions. While it shows potential as a therapeutic target for various diseases, numerous mysteries surrounding its mechanisms persist, underscoring the need for further research into therapy and prevention strategies. Exosomes, key players in intercellular communication, are increasingly recognized for their therapeutic potential. Emerging evidence indicates their involvement in regulating ferroptosis, offering insights into the application of ferroptosis-associated diseases. This review compiles and synthesizes mechanisms underlying the interaction between exosomes and ferroptosis, along with their potential applications in disease diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis, drawing on bibliographies from prior research findings. We anticipate this review could provide novel perspectives on exosome-mediated intervention in ferroptosis-associated diseases.

Ferroptosis is a new type of cell death driven by iron-dependent phospholipid peroxidation, which is regulated by a variety of factors including redox homeostasis, iron metabolism, lipid metabolism, cellular metabolism, and mitochondrial function, and plays an important driving role in the development of various tissues and organ damage and diseases. Kidney stones are a common urological disease characterized by high morbidity and high recurrence rate. Currently available preventive or therapeutic treatments for kidney stones are inadequate to cope with the growing clinical demand, suffering from poor efficacy and a higher risk of postoperative complications.
