Article Abstract

Cervical cancer (CC) exerts a considerable impact on women's health worldwide and presents persistent challenges to conventional therapeutic strategies due to its propensity for distant metastasis, postoperative recurrence, and variable drug resistance. Ferroptosis, a recently identified type of programmed cell death, offers promising potential for a therapeutic approach for CC. This paper reviews the regulatory processes involved in ferroptosis, including the sequential events leading to cell membrane rupture via lipid peroxidation and the changes in ferroptosis sensitivity as cervical cells progress from a healthy to a malignant condition. Additionally, the dynamic relationship between ferroptosis and CC transformation driven by high-risk HPV (HR-HPV) infection is examined, with a particular focus on how HR-HPV E6/E7 proteins influence ferroptosis sensitivity. By examining the factors associated with ferroptosis, this review provides insights into CC progression and prognosis. Furthermore, therapeutic strategies targeting ferroptosis are discussed, offering novel perspectives for effective treatment options for CC.

Iron is an essential trace element for the human body, but having too much or too little of it can cause various biological issues. When ferrous ions react with hydrogen peroxide, they create highly reactive and soluble hydroxyl radicals that can damage cells through oxidation. This reaction, known as the Fenton reaction, can cause lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis.

Myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury (MIRI) worsens ischemic damage, with ferroptosis as a key mediator of this iron-dependent cell death. Lactylation, a novel epigenetic modification, remains poorly understood in MIRI-associated ferroptosis. This study aimed to elucidate the mechanistic link between lactylation and ferroptosis in MIRI.

Brucine Inhibits Gastric Cancer via Activation of Ferroptosis Through Regulating the NF-κB Signaling Pathway.

Gastric cancer (GC) is the third leading cause of cancer mortality globally, often presenting with insidious symptoms that lead to late-stage diagnoses, underscoring the critical need for innovative diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. One such avenue is the exploration of ferroptosis, a regulated form of cell death implicated in various pathological conditions and malignancies. In this study, we demonstrate that brucine, an alkaloid derived from Strychnos nux-vomica, exerts significant antitumor effects on GC cells both in vitro and in vivo.

Background: Epilepsy, a significant neurological condition marked by the occurrence of repeated seizures, continues to pose a substantial health challenge. Previous studies have indicated that Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 (DPP4) inhibitors may possess antiepileptic properties. Ferroptosis, a newly discovered type of programmed cell death, has recently surfaced as a promising therapeutic target in the management of epilepsy.
