Ferroptosis and Its Emerging Role in Pre-Eclampsia. Antioxidants (Basel) 2022; 11:antiox11071282. [PMID: 35883776 PMCID: PMC9312356 DOI: 10.3390/antiox11071282] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2022] [Revised: 06/25/2022] [Accepted: 06/25/2022] [Indexed: 11/27/2022] Open
Abstract
Iron is essential for cell survival, and iron deficiency is a known risk factor for many reproductive diseases. Paradoxically, such disorders are also more common in cases of iron overload. Here, we evaluated the role of ferroptosis in women’s health, particularly focusing on pre-eclampsia (PE). PE is a multisystem disorder and is one of the leading causes of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality, especially when the condition is of early onset. Nevertheless, the exact etiological mechanism of PE remains unclear. Interestingly, ferroptosis, as a regulated iron-dependent cell death pathway, involves a lethal accumulation of lipid peroxides and shares some characteristics with PE pathophysiology. In this review, we comprehensively reviewed and summarized recent studies investigating the molecular mechanisms involved in the regulation and execution of ferroptosis, as well as ferroptosis mechanisms in the pathology of PE. We propose that ferroptosis not only plays an important role in PE, but may also become a novel therapeutic target for PE.

Nat Commun 2022; 13:3676.

Abstract
Immunogenic cell death significantly contributes to the success of anti-cancer therapies, but immunogenicity of different cell death modalities widely varies. Ferroptosis, a form of cell death that is characterized by iron accumulation and lipid peroxidation, has not yet been fully evaluated from this perspective. Here we present an inducible model of ferroptosis, distinguishing three phases in the process-'initial' associated with lipid peroxidation, 'intermediate' correlated with ATP release and 'terminal' recognized by HMGB1 release and loss of plasma membrane integrity-that serves as tool to study immune cell responses to ferroptotic cancer cells. Co-culturing ferroptotic cancer cells with dendritic cells (DC), reveals that 'initial' ferroptotic cells decrease maturation of DC, are poorly engulfed, and dampen antigen cross-presentation. DC loaded with ferroptotic, in contrast to necroptotic, cancer cells fail to protect against tumor growth. Adding ferroptotic cancer cells to immunogenic apoptotic cells dramatically reduces their prophylactic vaccination potential. Our study thus shows that ferroptosis negatively impacts antigen presenting cells and hence the adaptive immune response, which might hinder therapeutic applications of ferroptosis induction.

Abstract
Neuroblastomas are the main extracranial tumors that affect children, while glioblastomas are the most lethal brain tumors, with a median survival time of less than 12 months, and the prognosis of these tumors is poor due to multidrug resistance. Thus, the development of new therapies for the treatment of these types of tumors is urgently needed. In this context, a new type of cell death with strong antitumor potential, called ferroptosis, has recently been described. Ferroptosis is molecularly, morphologically and biochemically different from the other types of cell death described to date because it continues in the absence of classical effectors of apoptosis and does not require the necroptotic machinery. In contrast, ferroptosis has been defined as an iron-dependent form of cell death that is inhibited by glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) activity. Interestingly, ferroptosis can be induced pharmacologically, with potential antitumor activity in vivo and eventual application prospects in translational medicine. Here, we summarize the main pathways of pharmacological ferroptosis induction in tumor cells known to date, along with the limitations of, perspectives on and possible applications of this in the treatment of these tumors.

Abstract
The use of nanomaterials rationally engineered to treat cancer is a burgeoning field that has reported great medical achievements. Iron-based polymeric nano-formulations with precisely tuned physicochemical properties are an expanding and versatile therapeutic strategy for tumor treatment. Recently, a peculiar type of regulated necrosis named ferroptosis has gained increased attention as a target for cancer therapy. Here, we show for the first time that novel iron oxide nanoparticles coated with gallic acid and polyacrylic acid (IONP–GA/PAA) possess intrinsic cytotoxic activity on various cancer cell lines. Indeed, IONP–GA/PAA treatment efficiently induces ferroptosis in glioblastoma, neuroblastoma, and fibrosarcoma cells. IONP–GA/PAA-induced ferroptosis was blocked by the canonical ferroptosis inhibitors, including deferoxamine and ciclopirox olamine (iron chelators), and ferrostatin-1, the lipophilic radical trap. These ferroptosis inhibitors also prevented the lipid hydroperoxide generation promoted by the nanoparticles. Altogether, we report on novel ferroptosis-inducing iron encapsulated nanoparticles with potent anti-cancer properties, which has promising potential for further in vivo validation.

YAP knockdown in combination with ferroptosis induction increases the sensitivity of HOS human osteosarcoma cells to Pyropheophorbide-α methyl ester-mediated photodynamic therapy. Photodiagnosis Photodyn Ther 2022; 39:102964. [PMID: 35705143 DOI: 10.1016/j.pdpdt.2022.102964] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/25/2021] [Revised: 05/31/2022] [Accepted: 06/10/2022] [Indexed: 10/18/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS This study was designed to explore the effects of Yes-associated protein (YAP) knockdown on human osteosarcoma (HOS) cell sensitivity to Pyropheophorbide-α methyl ester-mediated photodynamic therapy (MPPa-PDT), and to assess how YAP silencing in combination with treatment with the ferroptosis inducer Erastin improves HOS cell sensitivity to MPPa-PDT in an effort to better clarify the molecular mechanisms underlying these phenotypes. METHODS At 12 h post-MPPa-PDT, Hoechst staining and flow cytometry were conducted to evaluate the apoptotic death of HOS cells. The expression of YAP in these cells at 12 h post-MPPa-PDT treatment was assessed via Western blotting and immunofluorescent staining. BODIPY581/591-C11 was used to evaluate lipid peroxidation. Following shYAP lentiviral transduction, Western blotting was conducted to assess the expression of proteins associated with proliferation, apoptosis, and ferroptosis. EdU assays and clonogenic assays were performed to analyze cellular proliferation. Erastin-treated HOS cells were used to establish a ferroptosis model. Western blotting was used to measure ferroptosis-associated protein levels following shYAP and erastin treatment, while changes in proliferation and MDA levels in each group were examined using an MDA kit. RESULTS At 12 h post-MPPa-PDT, HOS cells exhibited apoptotic characteristics including nuclear fragmentation and pyknosis, with concomitant increases in apoptosis-associated proteins as detected via Western blotting and apoptotic induction as measured via flow cytometry. Phosphorylated YAP levels fell and non-phosphorylated YAP levels rose following such treatment. Transfection with shYAP was successful as a means of generating stable HOS cell lines, and Western blotting analyses of these cells revealed reductions in proteins associated with cellular proliferation together with the upregulation of apoptosis-related proteins. MDA assays indicated that erastin combined with YAP knockdown enhanced the sensitivity of HOS cells to MPPa-PDT treatment. CONCLUSIONS These data indicate that ferroptosis and YAP knockdown can enhance osteosarcoma cell sensitivity to MPPa-PDT therapy.

Abstract
Chronic non-healing wounds are a major complication of diabetes, which affects 1 in 10 people worldwide. Dying cells in the wound perpetuate the inflammation and contribute to dysregulated tissue repair1-3. Here we reveal that the membrane transporter SLC7A11 acts as a molecular brake on efferocytosis, the process by which dying cells are removed, and that inhibiting SLC7A11 function can accelerate wound healing. Transcriptomics of efferocytic dendritic cells in mouse identified upregulation of several SLC7 gene family members. In further analyses, pharmacological inhibition of SLC7A11, or deletion or knockdown of Slc7a11 using small interfering RNA enhanced efferocytosis in dendritic cells. Slc7a11 was highly expressed in dendritic cells in skin, and single-cell RNA sequencing of inflamed skin showed that Slc7a11 was upregulated in innate immune cells. In a mouse model of excisional skin wounding, inhibition or loss of SLC7A11 expression accelerated healing dynamics and reduced the apoptotic cell load in the wound. Mechanistic studies revealed a link between SLC7A11, glucose homeostasis and diabetes. SLC7A11-deficient dendritic cells were dependent on aerobic glycolysis using glucose derived from glycogen stores for increased efferocytosis; also, transcriptomics of efferocytic SLC7A11-deficient dendritic cells identified increased expression of genes linked to gluconeogenesis and diabetes. Further, Slc7a11 expression was higher in the wounds of diabetes-prone db/db mice, and targeting SLC7A11 accelerated their wound healing. The faster healing was also linked to the release of the TGFβ family member GDF15 from efferocytic dendritic cells. In sum, SLC7A11 is a negative regulator of efferocytosis, and removing this brake improves wound healing, with important implications for wound management in diabetes.

Abstract
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and mitochondrial dysfunction play a pivotal role in the pathological process of sepsis-induced acute lung injury (ALI). Quercetin has been proved to exert anti-inflammation in ALI. This study aimed to explore the protection mechanism of quercetin against sepsis-induced ALI via suppressing ER stress and mitochondrial dysfunction. Cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) mouse model was established to mimic sepsis, and LPS was used to stimulate murine lung epithelial (MLE-12) cells. We observed that quercetin ameliorated pulmonary pathological lesion and oxidative damage in sepsis-induced mice. In LPS-stimulated MLE-12 cells, quercetin could inhibit the level of ER stress as evidenced by decreased mRNA expression of PDI, CHOP, GRP78, ATF6, PERK, IRE1α and improve mitochondrial function, as presented by increased MMP, SOD level and reduced production of ROS, MDA. Meanwhile, transcriptome analysis revealed that quercetin upregulated SIRT1/AMPK mRNA expression. Furthermore, we used siRNA to knockdown SIRT1 in MLE-12 cells, and we found that SIRT1 knockdown could abrogate the quercetin-elicited antioxidation in vitro. Therefore, quercetin could protect against sepsis-induced ALI by suppressing oxidative stress-mediated ER stress and mitochondrial dysfunction via induction of the SIRT1/AMPK pathways.

Abstract
Ferroptosis, characterized by iron-dependent lipid reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation, is non-apoptotic programmed cell death highly relevant to tumor development. It was found to manipulate oncogenes and resistant mutations of cancer cells via lipid metabolism pathways converging on phospholipid glutathione peroxidase (GPX4) that squanders lipid peroxides (L-OOH) to block the iron-mediated reactions of peroxides, thus rendering resistant cancer cells vulnerable to ferroptotic cell death. By accumulating ROS and lipid peroxidation (LPO) products to lethal levels in tumor microenvironment (TME), ferroptosis-driven nanotherapeutics show a superior ability of eradicating aggressive malignancies than traditional therapeutic modalities, especially for the drug-resistant tumors with high metastasis tendency. Moreover, Fenton reaction, inhibition of GPX-4, and exogenous regulation of LPO are three major therapeutic strategies to induce ferroptosis in cancer cells, which were generally applied in ferroptosis-driven nanotherapeutics. In this review, we elaborate current trends of ferroptosis-driven nanotherapeutics to reverse drug resistance of tumors in anticancer fields at the intersection of cancer biology, materials science, and chemistry. Finally, their challenges and perspectives toward feasible translational studies are spotlighted, which would ignite the hope of anti-resistant cancer treatment.

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ ameliorates neuronal ferroptosis after traumatic brain injury in mice by inhibiting cyclooxygenase-2. Exp Neurol 2022; 354:114100. [PMID: 35490721 DOI: 10.1016/j.expneurol.2022.114100] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2021] [Revised: 03/20/2022] [Accepted: 04/24/2022] [Indexed: 01/08/2023]
Abstract
Among the multiple kinds of neuronal cell death triggered by traumatic brain injury (TBI), ferroptosis, an iron-dependent lipid peroxidative regulatory cell death, has a critical role. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPARγ) is a nuclear transcription factor that regulates lipid metabolism and suppresses neuronal inflammation. However, the role of PPARγ in neuronal ferroptosis induced by TBI remains unclear. Here, we investigated the regulatory effect of PPARγ on neuronal ferroptosis in a weight-drop TBI model in vivo and an RAS-selective lethal 3 (RSL3)-activated ferroptotic neuronal model in vitro. PPARγ was mainly localized in the nucleus of neurons and was decreased in both the in vivo TBI model and the in vitro ferroptotic neuronal model. The addition of a specific agonist, pioglitazone, activated PPARγ, which protected neuronal function post-TBI in vivo and increased the viability of ferroptotic neurons in vitro. Further investigation suggested that PPARγ probably attenuates neuronal ferroptosis by downregulating cyclooxygenase-2 (COX2) protein expression levels in vivo and in vitro. This study revealed the relationship among PPARγ, ferroptosis and TBI and identified a potential target for comprehensive TBI treatment.

Abstract
Despite the recent advances in cancer therapy, cancer chemoresistance looms large along with radioresistance, a major challenge in dire need of thorough and minute investigation. Not long ago, cancer cells were reported to have proven refractory to the ferroptotic cell death, a newly discovered form of regulated cell death (RCD), conspicuous enough to draw attention from scholars in terms of targeting ferroptosis as a prospective therapeutic strategy. However, our knowledge concerning the underlying molecular mechanisms through which cancer cells gain immunity against ferroptosis is still in its infancy. Of late, the implication of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), including circular RNAs (circRNAs), microRNAs (miRNAs), and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in ferroptosis has been disclosed. Nevertheless, precisely explaining the molecular mechanisms behind the contribution of ncRNAs to cancer radio/chemotherapy resistance remains a challenge, requiring further clarification. In this review, we have presented the latest available information on the ways and means of regulating ferroptosis by ncRNAs. Moreover, we have provided important insights about targeting ncRNAs implicated in ferroptosis with the hope of opening up new horizons for overcoming cancer treatment modalities. Though a long path awaits until we make this ambitious dream come true, recent progress in gene therapy, including gene-editing technology will aid us to be optimistic that ncRNAs-based ferroptosis targeting would soon be on stream as a novel therapeutic strategy for treating cancer.

Abstract
Intravital imaging, oxidative lipidomics, and a transplant model were used to define mechanisms that regulate neutrophil recruitment into lungs during ischemia reperfusion injury, a clinically relevant form of sterile inflammation. We found that early neutrophil-mediated damage is largely confined to the subpleural vasculature, a process that is orchestrated by a spatially restricted distribution of nonclassical monocytes that produce chemokines following necroptosis of pulmonary cells. Neutrophils disrupt the integrity of subpleural capillaries, which is associated with impaired lung function. Neutrophil-mediated vascular leakage is dependent on TLR4 expression on vascular endothelium, NOX4 signaling, and formation of neutrophil extracellular traps. Our research provides insights into mechanisms that regulate neutrophil recruitment during sterile lung inflammation and lays the foundation for developing new therapies. Ischemia reperfusion injury represents a common pathological condition that is triggered by the release of endogenous ligands. While neutrophils are known to play a critical role in its pathogenesis, the tissue-specific spatiotemporal regulation of ischemia-reperfusion injury is not understood. Here, using oxidative lipidomics and intravital imaging of transplanted mouse lungs that are subjected to severe ischemia reperfusion injury, we discovered that necroptosis, a nonapoptotic form of cell death, triggers the recruitment of neutrophils. During the initial stages of inflammation, neutrophils traffic predominantly to subpleural vessels, where their aggregation is directed by chemoattractants produced by nonclassical monocytes that are spatially restricted in this vascular compartment. Subsequent neutrophilic disruption of capillaries resulting in vascular leakage is associated with impaired graft function. We found that TLR4 signaling in vascular endothelial cells and downstream NADPH oxidase 4 expression mediate the arrest of neutrophils, a step upstream of their extravasation. Neutrophil extracellular traps formed in injured lungs and their disruption with DNase prevented vascular leakage and ameliorated primary graft dysfunction. Thus, we have uncovered mechanisms that regulate the initial recruitment of neutrophils to injured lungs, which result in selective damage to subpleural pulmonary vessels and primary graft dysfunction. Our findings could lead to the development of new therapeutics that protect lungs from ischemia reperfusion injury.

Postconditioning with Irisin Attenuates Lung Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury by Suppressing Ferroptosis via Induction of the Nrf2/HO-1 Signal Axis. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2022; 2022:9911167.

Abstract
Iron-dependent lipid peroxidation causes ferroptosis. This study was aimed at verifying that irisin postconditioning can inhibit ferroptosis and minimize lung ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) damage via activating the Nrf2/HO-1 signal axis. We constructed a murine model of I/R lung damage. At the onset of reperfusion, irisin, ferroptosis inhibitor ferrostatin-1, and ferroptosis inducer Fe-citrate were all administered. We discovered that irisin could reduce lung I/R injury, consistent with ferrostatin-1's action. Furthermore, irisin suppressed ferroptosis in lung I/R damage, as evidenced by lower ROS, MDA, and Fe2+, as well as alterations in critical protein expression (GPX4 and ACSL4). However, Fe-citrate abolished the protective effects of irisin. Transcriptome research found that irisin increased the mRNA levels of Nrf2 and HO-1. Thus, we used siRNA to investigate the role of the Nrf2/HO-1 axis in irisin-mediated protection against hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) damage in MLE-12 cells. Irisin consistently reduced ferroptosis and improved mitochondrial dysfunction caused by H/R. Irisin's cytoprotective function was eliminated when Nrf2 was silenced. As a result, irisin postconditioning may protect against lung I/R damage by suppressing ferroptosis via the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling axis.

Abstract
Understanding nephron loss is a primary strategy for preventing CKD progression. Death of renal tubular cells may occur by apoptosis during developmental and regenerative processes. However, during AKI, the transition of AKI to CKD, sepsis-associated AKI, and kidney transplantation ferroptosis and necroptosis, two pathways associated with the loss of plasma membrane integrity, kill renal cells. This necrotic type of cell death is associated with an inflammatory response, which is referred to as necroinflammation. Importantly, the necroinflammatory response to cells that die by necroptosis may be fundamentally different from the tissue response to ferroptosis. Although mechanisms of ferroptosis and necroptosis have recently been investigated in detail, the cell death propagation during tubular necrosis, although described morphologically, remains incompletely understood. Here, we argue that a molecular switch downstream of tubular necrosis determines nephron regeneration versus nephron loss. Unraveling the details of this "switch" must include the inflammatory response to tubular necrosis and regenerative signals potentially controlled by inflammatory cells, including the stimulation of myofibroblasts as the origin of fibrosis. Understanding in detail the molecular switch and the inflammatory responses to tubular necrosis can inform the discussion of therapeutic options.

Abstract
Background: Due to the heterogeneity of tumors and the complexity of the immune microenvironment, the specific role of ferroptosis and pyroptosis in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is not fully understood, especially its impact on prognosis. Methods: The training set (n = 609, merged by TCGA and GSE14520) was clustered into three subtypes (C1, C2, and C3) based on the prognosis-related genes associated with ferroptosis and pyroptosis. The intersecting differentially expressed genes (DEGs) among C1, C2, and C3 were used in univariate Cox and LASSO penalized Cox regression analysis for the construction of the risk score. The median risk score served as the unified cutoff to divide patients into high- and low-risk groups. Results: Internal (TCGA, n = 370; GSE14520, n = 239) and external validation (ICGC, n = 231) suggested that the 12-gene risk score had high accuracy in predicting the OS, DSS, DFS, PFS, and RFS of HCC. As an independent prognostic indicator, the risk score could be applicable for patients with different clinical features tested by subgroup (n = 26) survival analysis. In the high-risk patients with a lower infiltration abundance of activated B cells, activated CD8 T cells, eosinophils, and type I T helper cells and a higher infiltration abundance of immature dendritic cells, the cytolytic activity, HLA, inflammation promotion, and type I IFN response in the high-risk group were weaker. The TP53 mutation rate, TMB, and CSC characteristics in the high-risk group were significantly higher than those in the low-risk group. Low-risk patients have active metabolic activity and a more robust immune response. The high- and low-risk groups differed significantly in histology grade, vascular tumor cell type, AFP, new tumor event after initial treatment, main tumor size, cirrhosis, TNM stage, BCLC stage, and CLIP score. Conclusion: The ferroptosis and pyroptosis molecular subtype-related signature identified and validated in this work is applicable for prognosis prediction, immune microenvironment estimation, stem cell characteristics, and clinical feature assessment in HCC.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a non-apoptotic mode of Regulated Cell Death (RCD) driven by excessive accumulation of toxic lipid peroxides and iron overload. Ferroptosis could be triggered by inhibiting the antioxidant defense system and accumulating iron-dependent Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) that react with polyunsaturated fatty acids in abundance. Emerging evidence over the past few years has revealed that ferroptosis is of great potential in inhibiting growth and metastasis and overcoming tumor cell resistance. Thus, targeting this form of cell death could be perceived as a potentially burgeoning approach in cancer treatment. This review briefly presents the underlying mechanisms of ferroptosis and further aims to discuss various types of existing drugs and natural compounds that could be potentially repurposed for targeting ferroptosis in tumor cells. This, in turn, will provide critical perspectives on future studies concerning ferroptosis-based cancer therapy.

Abstract
Radiotherapy promotes tumor cell death and senescence through the induction of oxidative damage. Recent work has highlighted the importance of lipid peroxidation for radiotherapy efficacy. Excessive lipid peroxidation can promote ferroptosis, a regulated form of cell death. In this review, we address the evidence supporting a role of ferroptosis in response to radiotherapy and discuss the molecular regulators that underlie this interaction. Finally, we postulate on the clinical implications for the intersection of ferroptosis and radiotherapy.

Abstract
The ultraviolet B radiation (UVB) causes skin inflammation, which contributes to the causality and the exacerbation of a number of cutaneous diseases. However, the mechanism of UVB-driven inflammation in the skin remains poorly understood. We show that ferroptosis, a non-apoptotic programmed cell death pathway that is promoted by an excessive phospholipid peroxidation, is activated in the epidermal keratinocytes after their exposure to UVB. The susceptibility of the keratinocytes to UVB-induced ferroptosis depends on the extent of pro-ferroptosis death signal generation and the dysregulation of the glutathione system. Inhibition of ferroptosis prevents the release of HMGB1 from the human epidermal keratinocytes, and blocks necroinflammation in the UVB-irradiated mouse skin. We show that while apoptosis and pyroptosis are also detectable in the keratinocytes after UVB exposure, ferroptosis plays a significant role in initiating UVB-induced inflammation in the skin. Our results have important implications for the prevention and the treatment of a broad range of skin diseases which are fostered by UVB-induced inflammation.

Ferroptosis and NRF2: an emerging battlefield in the neurodegeneration of Alzheimer's disease. Essays Biochem 2021; 65:925-940.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is an iron- and lipid peroxidation-dependent cell death modality and emerging evidence indicates that ferroptosis has great explanatory potential for neuronal loss and associated CNS dysfunction in a range of neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and Huntington's diseases, Motor neuron disease, Friedreich ataxia (FRDA)). Ferroptotic death results from lethal levels of phospholipid hydroperoxides that are generated by iron-dependent peroxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), such as arachidonic and adrenic acids, which are conjugated to specific phospholipids (e.g., phosphatidylethanolamines (PEs)). The major cellular protector against ferroptosis is glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), a membrane-associated selenoenzyme that reduces deleterious phospholipid hydroperoxides to their corresponding benign phospholipid alcohols in a glutathione-dependent manner. Other complementary protective systems have also been identified that act to bolster cellular defences against ferroptosis. Many pharmacological modulators of the ferroptosis pathway have been identified, targeting proteins involved in iron homoeostasis and autophagy; the production and detoxification of lipid peroxides, and cyst(e)ine/glutathione metabolism. While a growing number of cell signalling pathways converge to regulate the ferroptosis cascade, an emerging understanding of ferroptosis regulation suggests that the ferroptotic 'tone' of cells can be set by the transcription factor, nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2), which transcriptionally controls many key components of the ferroptosis pathway. In this review, we provide a critical overview of the relationship between ferroptosis and NRF2 signalling. With a focus on the role of ferroptosis in Alzheimer's disease (AD), we discuss how therapeutic modulation of the NRF2 pathway is a viable strategy to explore in the treatment of ferroptosis-driven neurodegeneration.

Abstract
Our recent study revealed that non-neuroendocrine small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is sensitive to the induction of ferroptosis due to upregulation of ether lipid synthesis. While neuroendocrine SCLC is ferroptosis resistant, it acquires addiction to the thioredoxin pathway. Combined redox pathway targeting therefore achieves efficient anti-tumor activity in heterogenous SCLC.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a regulated form of cell death characterized by iron dependency and increased lipid peroxidation. Initially assumed to be selectively induced in tumour cells, there is increasing evidence that ferroptosis plays an important role in pathophysiology and numerous cell types and tissues. Deregulated ferroptosis has been linked to human diseases, such as neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular disorders, and cancer. Along these lines, ferroptosis is a promising pathway to overcoming therapy resistance of cancer cells. It is therefore of utmost importance to understand the cellular signalling pathways and the molecular mechanisms underlying ferroptosis regulation, including context-specific effects mediated by the neighbouring cells through cell–cell contacts. Here, we give an overview on the molecular events and machinery linked to ferroptosis induction and commitment. We further summarize and discuss current knowledge about the role of cell–cell contacts, which differ in ferroptosis regulation between normal somatic cells and cancer cells. We present emerging concepts on the underlying mechanisms, address open questions, and discuss the possible impact of cell–cell contacts on exploiting ferroptosis in cancer therapy.

Abstract
Regulated cell necrosis supports immune and anti-infectious strategies of the body; however, dysregulation of these processes drives pathological organ damage. Pseudomonas aeruginosa expresses a phospholipase, ExoU that triggers pathological host cell necrosis through a poorly characterized pathway. Here, we investigated the molecular and cellular mechanisms of ExoU-mediated necrosis. We show that cellular peroxidised phospholipids enhance ExoU phospholipase activity, which drives necrosis of immune and non-immune cells. Conversely, both the endogenous lipid peroxidation regulator GPX4 and the pharmacological inhibition of lipid peroxidation delay ExoU-dependent cell necrosis and improve bacterial elimination in vitro and in vivo. Our findings also pertain to the ExoU-related phospholipase from the bacterial pathogen Burkholderia thailandensis, suggesting that exploitation of peroxidised phospholipids might be a conserved virulence mechanism among various microbial phospholipases. Overall, our results identify an original lipid peroxidation-based virulence mechanism as a strong contributor of microbial phospholipase-driven pathology.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent cell death, which is characterized by iron overload and lipid peroxidation. Ferroptosis is distinct from apoptosis, necroptosis, autophagy, and other types of cell death in morphology and function. Ferroptosis is regulated by a variety of factors and controlled by several mechanisms, including mitochondrial activity and metabolism of iron, lipid, and amino acids. Accumulating evidence shows that ferroptosis is closely related to a majority of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), including cardiomyopathy, myocardial infarction, ischemia/reperfusion injury, heart failure, and atherosclerosis. This review summarizes the current status of ferroptosis and discusses ferroptosis as a potential therapeutic target for CVDs.

Sorafenib fails to trigger ferroptosis across a wide range of cancer cell lines. Cell Death Dis 2021; 12:698.

Abstract
Sorafenib, a protein kinase inhibitor approved for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma and advanced renal cell carcinoma, has been repeatedly reported to induce ferroptosis by possibly involving inhibition of the cystine/glutamate antiporter, known as system xc-. Using a combination of well-defined genetically engineered tumor cell lines and canonical small molecule ferroptosis inhibitors, we now provide unequivocal evidence that sorafenib does not induce ferroptosis in a series of tumor cell lines unlike the cognate system xc- inhibitors sulfasalazine and erastin. We further show that only a subset of tumor cells dies by ferroptosis upon sulfasalazine and erastin treatment, implying that certain cell lines appear to be resistant to system xc- inhibition, while others undergo ferroptosis-independent cell death. From these findings, we conclude that sorafenib does not qualify as a bona fide ferroptosis inducer and that ferroptosis induced by system xc- inhibitors can only be achieved in a fraction of tumor cell lines despite robust expression of SLC7A11, the substrate-specific subunit of system xc-.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a new type of programmed cell death characterized by intracellular iron accumulation and lipid peroxidation that leads to oxidative stress and cell death. The metabolism of iron, lipids, and amino acids and multiple signalling pathways precisely regulate the process of ferroptosis. Emerging evidence has demonstrated that ferroptosis participates in the occurrence and progression of various pathological conditions and diseases, such as infections, neurodegeneration, tissue ischaemia-reperfusion injury and immune diseases. Recent studies have also indicated that ferroptosis plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of acute lung injury, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary infection and asthma. Herein, we summarize the latest knowledge on the regulatory mechanism of ferroptosis and its association with iron, lipid and amino acid metabolism as well as several signalling pathways. Furthermore, we review the contribution of ferroptosis to the pathogenesis of lung diseases and discuss ferroptosis as a novel therapeutic target for various lung diseases.

Abstract
Non-thermal plasma (NTP), an engineered technology to generate reactive species, induces ferroptosis and/or apoptosis specifically in various-type cancer cells. NTP-activated Ringer's lactate (PAL) is another modality for cancer therapy at preclinical stage. Here we found that PAL induces selective ferroptosis of malignant mesothelioma (MM) cells, where non-targeted metabolome screening identified upregulated citrulline-nitric oxide (.NO) cycle as a PAL target. .NO probe detected biphasic peaks transiently at PAL exposure with time-dependent increase, which was responsible for inducible . NO synthase (iNOS) overexpression through NF-κB activation. .NO and lipid peroxidation occupied lysosomes as a major compartment with increased TFEB expression. Not only ferrostatin-1 but inhibitors for . NO and/or iNOS could suppress this ferroptosis. PAL-induced ferroptosis accompanied autophagic process in the early phase, as demonstrated by an increase in essential amino acids, LC3B-II, p62 and LAMP1, transforming into the later phase with boosted lipid peroxidation. Therefore, .NO-mediated lysosomal impairment is central in PAL-induced ferroptosis.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a newly recognised type of regulated cell death (RCD) characterised by iron-dependent accumulation of lipid peroxidation. It is significantly distinct from other RCDs at the morphological, biochemical, and genetic levels. Recent reports have implicated ferroptosis in multiple diseases, including neurological disorders, kidney injury, liver diseases, and cancer. Ferroptotic cell death has also been associated with dysfunction of the intestinal epithelium, which contributes to several intestinal diseases. Research on ferroptosis may provide a new understanding of intestinal disease pathogenesis that benefits clinical treatment. In this review, we provide an overview of ferroptosis and its underlying mechanisms, then describe its emerging role in intestinal diseases, including intestinal ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and colorectal cancer (CRC).

Abstract
Simple Summary Ferroptosis is a type of cell death, which is morphologically and mechanistically distinct from other type of cell death pathways such as apoptosis and necroptosis. Lipid peroxidation is a hallmark of ferroptosis and directly destroys cellular membranes, thereby causing ferroptosis. Since lipid peroxidation, which induces ferroptosis, occurs in polyunsaturated fatty acid on specific phospholipids, various lipid metabolic pathways are involved in lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis. Besides, various metabolic and signaling pathways directly and indirectly regulate lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis. Since ferroptosis is associated with a variety of human diseases such as cancer, myocardial infarction, atherosclerosis, kidney diseases, liver diseases, and neuronal diseases, a better understanding of the regulatory mechanisms of ferroptosis can provide insights and treatment strategies for related diseases. Abstract Ferroptosis is a type of iron-dependent regulated necrosis induced by lipid peroxidation that occurs in cellular membranes. Among the various lipids, polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) associated with several phospholipids, such as phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) and phosphatidylcholine (PC), are responsible for ferroptosis-inducing lipid peroxidation. Since the de novo synthesis of PUFAs is strongly restricted in mammals, cells take up essential fatty acids from the blood and lymph to produce a variety of PUFAs via PUFA biosynthesis pathways. Free PUFAs can be incorporated into the cellular membrane by several enzymes, such as ACLS4 and LPCAT3, and undergo lipid peroxidation through enzymatic and non-enzymatic mechanisms. These pathways are tightly regulated by various metabolic and signaling pathways. In this review, we summarize our current knowledge of how various lipid metabolic pathways are associated with lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis. Our review will provide insight into treatment strategies for ferroptosis-related diseases.

Abstract
A huge diversification of phospholipids, forming the aqueous interfaces of all biomembranes, cannot be accommodated within a simple concept of their role as membrane building blocks. Indeed, a number of signaling functions of (phospho)lipid molecules has been discovered. Among these signaling lipids, a particular group of oxygenated polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), so called lipid mediators, has been thoroughly investigated over several decades. This group includes oxygenated octadecanoids, eicosanoids, and docosanoids and includes several hundreds of individual species. Oxygenation of PUFA can occur when they are esterified into major classes of phospholipids. Initially, these events have been associated with non-specific oxidative injury of biomembranes. An alternative concept is that these post-synthetically oxidatively modified phospholipids and their adducts with proteins are a part of a redox epiphospholipidome that represents a rich and versatile language for intra- and inter-cellular communications. The redox epiphospholipidome may include hundreds of thousands of individual molecular species acting as meaningful biological signals. This review describes the signaling role of oxygenated phospholipids in programs of regulated cell death. Although phospholipid peroxidation has been associated with almost all known cell death programs, we chose to discuss enzymatic pathways activated during apoptosis and ferroptosis and leading to peroxidation of two phospholipid classes, cardiolipins (CLs) and phosphatidylethanolamines (PEs). This is based on the available LC-MS identification and quantitative information on the respective peroxidation products of CLs and PEs. We focused on molecular mechanisms through which two proteins, a mitochondrial hemoprotein cytochrome c (cyt c), and non-heme Fe lipoxygenase (LOX), change their catalytic properties to fulfill new functions of generating oxygenated CL and PE species. Given the high selectivity and specificity of CL and PE peroxidation we argue that enzymatic reactions catalyzed by cyt c/CL complexes and 15-lipoxygenase/phosphatidylethanolamine binding protein 1 (15LOX/PEBP1) complexes dominate, at least during the initiation stage of peroxidation, in apoptosis and ferroptosis. We contrast cell-autonomous nature of CLox signaling in apoptosis correlating with its anti-inflammatory functions vs. non-cell-autonomous ferroptotic signaling facilitating pro-inflammatory (necro-inflammatory) responses. Finally, we propose that small molecule mechanism-based regulators of enzymatic phospholipid peroxidation may lead to highly specific anti-apoptotic and anti-ferroptotic therapeutic modalities.
