Abstract
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is the high incidence rate and mortality of common cardiovascular disease. Herein, we explored the critical role of TRIM11 in AMI and its underlying mechanism. Serum from patients with AMI were collected from our hospital. Mice of model group received angiotensin II. Mice of model + TRIM11 group received with Ang II and TRIM11 vectors. Mice of sham group received normal saline. H9c2 cells were performed transfections using Lipofectamine 2000 (Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc, Shanghai, China), and treated with Ang II. TRIM11 mRNA expression was reduced, was negative correlation with collagen I/III mRNA expression, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, left anteroposterior atrial diameter, right atrial diameter, or left ventricular ejection fraction in patient with AMI. TRIM11 mRNA and protein expression were also suppressed. METTL3 regulates TRIM11 methylation to reduce TRIM11 gene stability in model of AMI. TRIM11 gene ameliorated AMI in mice model. TRIM11 gene reduced reactive oxygen species production level of cardiomyocyte in-vitro model. TRIM11 gene reduced ferroptosis of cardiomyocyte in-vitro model. TRIM11 gene reduced ferroptosis by the inhibition of mitochondrial damage of cardiomyocyte in model of AMI. TRIM11 induced Dusp6 protein expression. Bioluminescence imaging showed that TRIM11 virus increased Dusp6 expression in heart tissue of mice model. The inhibition of Dusp6 reduced the effects of TRIM11 on ferroptosis of cardiomyocyte in model of AMI. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that TRIM11 improves AMI by regulating Dusp6 to inhibit ferroptosis of cardiomyocyte, and suggest a novel target for AMI.

[PMID: 38579591 DOI: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2024.122544] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2023] [Revised: 03/11/2024] [Accepted: 03/19/2024] [Indexed: 04/07/2024]
Abstract
Exosomes, as nanoscale extracellular vesicles (EVs), are secreted by all types of cells to facilitate intercellular communication in living organisms. After being taken up by neighboring or distant cells, exosomes can alter the expression levels of target genes in recipient cells and thereby affect their pathophysiological outcomes depending on payloads encapsulated therein. The functions and mechanisms of exosomes in cardiovascular diseases have attracted much attention in recent years and are thought to have cardioprotective and regenerative potential. This review summarizes the biogenesis and molecular contents of exosomes and details the roles played by exosomes released from various cells in the progression and recovery of cardiovascular disease. The review also discusses the current status of traditional exosomes in cardiovascular tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, pointing out several limitations in their application. It emphasizes that some of the existing emerging industrial or bioengineering technologies are promising to compensate for these shortcomings, and the combined application of exosomes and biomaterials provides an opportunity for mutual enhancement of their performance. The integration of exosome-based cell-free diagnostic and therapeutic options will contribute to the further development of cardiovascular regenerative medicine.

Pathol Res Pract 2024; 259:155388. [PMID: 38850846 DOI: 10.1016/j.prp.2024.155388] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/05/2024] [Revised: 05/06/2024] [Accepted: 06/01/2024] [Indexed: 06/10/2024]
Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) serve as a crucial method for transferring information among cells, which is vital in multicellular organisms. Among these vesicles, exosomes are notable for their small size, ranging from 20 to 150 nm, and their role in cell-to-cell communication. They carry lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids between cells. The creation of exosomes begins with the inward budding of the cell membrane, which then encapsulates various macromolecules as cargo. Once filled, exosomes are released into the extracellular space and taken up by target cells via endocytosis and similar processes. The composition of exosomal cargo varies, encompassing diverse macromolecules with specific functions. Because of their significant roles, exosomes have been isolated from various cell types, including cancer cells, endothelial cells, macrophages, and mesenchymal cells, with the aim of harnessing them for therapeutic applications. Exosomes influence cellular metabolism, and regulate lipid, glucose, and glutamine pathways. Their role in pathogenesis is determined by their cargo, which can manipulate processes such as apoptosis, proliferation, inflammation, migration, and other molecular pathways in recipient cells. Non-coding RNA transcripts, a common type of cargo, play a pivotal role in regulating disease progression. Exosomes are implicated in numerous biological and pathological processes, including inflammation, cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, wound healing, and ischemic-reperfusion injury. As a result, they hold significant potential in the treatment of both cancerous and non-cancerous conditions.

Abstract
Disulfidptosis is a novel form of cell death that is distinguishable from established programmed cell death pathways such as apoptosis, pyroptosis, autophagy, ferroptosis, and oxeiptosis. This process is characterized by the rapid depletion of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) in cells and high expression of solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11) during glucose starvation, resulting in abnormal cystine accumulation, which subsequently induces andabnormal disulfide bond formation in actin cytoskeleton proteins, culminating in actin network collapse and disulfidptosis. This review aimed to summarize the underlying mechanisms, influencing factors, comparisons with traditional cell death pathways, associations with related diseases, application prospects, and future research directions related to disulfidptosis.

Abstract
Programmed cell death (PCD) is a fundamental biological process that plays a critical role in cell development, differentiation, and homeostasis. The secretion and uptake of extracellular vesicles (EVs) is one of the important regulatory mechanisms for PCD. EVs are natural membrane structures secreted by cells that contain a variety of proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and other bioactive molecules. Due to their important roles in intercellular communication and disease progression, there is great interest in studying EVs and their cargo. Different protein components are sorted and packaged in EVs, allowing EVs to perform their functions. The study of EV proteomics helps us understand the role of PCD in the development of diseases. Meanwhile, proteomics is a powerful tool for studying the composition and function of EVs, which assists in the identification, quantification, and profiling of protein components of EVs, and provides insight into the molecular mechanisms involved in PCD and related diseases. In this review, we summarize the characteristics of EV proteomics in different types of PCD, compare different proteomic profiling strategies for EVs, and discuss the impact of EV proteomics on cell function and regulation during PCD, to understand its role in the pathogenesis of related diseases.

Abstract
The imbalance between proliferation and death of kidney resident cells is a crucial factor in the development of acute or chronic renal dysfunction. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is often associated with the rapid loss of tubular epithelial cells (TECs). Sustained injury leads to the loss of glomerular endothelial cells (GECs) and podocytes, which is a key mechanism in the pathogenesis of glomerular diseases. This irreversible damage resulting from progressive cell loss eventually leads to deterioration of renal function characterized by glomerular compensatory hypertrophy, tubular degeneration, and renal fibrosis. Regulated cell death (RCD), which involves a cascade of gene expression events with tight structures, plays a certain role in regulating kidney health by determining the fate of kidney resident cells. Under pathological conditions, cells in the nephron have been demonstrated to constitutively release extracellular vesicles (EVs) which act as messengers that specifically interact with recipient cells to regulate their cell death process. For therapeutic intervention, exogenous EVs have exhibited great potential for the prevention and treatment of kidney disease by modulating RCD, with enhanced effects through engineering modification. Based on the functional role of EVs, this review comprehensively explores the regulation of RCD by EVs in AKI and chronic kidney disease (CKD), with emphasis on pathogenesis and therapeutic intervention.

Abstract
Ferroptosis, an iron-dependent form of programmed cell death, introduces a novel perspective on cellular demise. This study investigates the regulatory network of exosomal non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), including miRNAs, circRNAs, and lncRNAs, in ferroptosis modulation. The primary goal is to examine the pathological roles of ferroptosis-related exosomal ncRNAs, particularly in ischemic reperfusion injuries. The research reveals intricate molecular interactions governing the regulatory interplay between exosomal ncRNAs and ferroptosis, elucidating their diverse roles in different non-malignant pathological contexts. Attention is given to their impact on diseases, including cardiac, cerebral, liver, and kidney ischemic injuries, as well as lung, wound, and neuronal injuries. Beyond theoretical exploration, the study provides insights into potential therapeutic applications, emphasizing the significance of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)-derived exosomes. Findings underscore the pivotal role of MSC-derived exosomal ncRNAs in modulating cellular responses related to ferroptosis regulation, introducing a cutting-edge dimension. This recognition emphasizes the importance of MSC-derived exosomes as crucial mediators with broad therapeutic implications. Insights unveil promising avenues for targeted interventions, capitalizing on the diverse roles of exosomal ncRNAs, providing a comprehensive foundation for future therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Ferroptosis has been conceptualized as a novel cell death modality distinct from apoptosis, necroptosis, pyroptosis and autophagic cell death. The sensitivity of cellular ferroptosis is regulated at multiple layers, including polyunsaturated fatty acid metabolism, glutathione-GPX4 axis, iron homeostasis, mitochondria and other parallel pathways. In addition, microRNAs (miRNAs) have been implicated in modulating ferroptosis susceptibility through targeting different players involved in the execution or avoidance of ferroptosis. A growing body of evidence pinpoints the deregulation of miRNA-regulated ferroptosis as a critical factor in the development and progression of various pathophysiological conditions related to iron overload. The revelation of mechanisms of miRNA-dependent ferroptosis provides novel insights into the etiology of diseases and offers opportunities for therapeutic intervention. In this review, we discuss the interplay of emerging miRNA regulators and ferroptosis players under different pathological conditions, such as cancers, ischemia/reperfusion, neurodegenerative diseases, acute kidney injury and cardiomyopathy. We emphasize on the relevance of miRNA-regulated ferroptosis to disease progression and the targetability for therapeutic interventions.

Abstract
Effective intercellular communication is essential for cellular and tissue balance maintenance and response to challenges. Cellular communication methods involve direct cell contact or the release of biological molecules to cover short and long distances. However, a recent discovery in this communication network is the involvement of extracellular vesicles that host biological contents such as proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids, influencing neighboring cells. These extracellular vesicles are found in body fluids; thus, they are considered as potential disease biomarkers. Cardiovascular diseases are significant contributors to global morbidity and mortality, encompassing conditions such as ischemic heart disease, cardiomyopathies, electrical heart diseases, and heart failure. Recent studies reveal the release of extracellular vesicles by cardiovascular cells, influencing normal cardiac function and structure. However, under pathological conditions, extracellular vesicles composition changes, contributing to the development of cardiovascular diseases. Investigating the loading of molecular cargo in these extracellular vesicles is essential for understanding their role in disease development. This review consolidates the latest insights into the role of extracellular vesicles in diagnosis and prognosis of cardiovascular diseases, exploring the potential applications of extracellular vesicles in personalized therapies, shedding light on the evolving landscape of cardiovascular medicine.

Abstract
Myocardial infarction (MI) is the most serious type of cardiovascular disease and the leading cause of cardiac death.Ferroptosis is one of the newly discovered programmed cell death modes in MI, but its mechanism of action in MI has not been clarified.In this study, we analyzed the expression changes of ferroptosis-related genes in MI and explored the potential mechanisms of ferroptosis-related functions in myocardial infarction. Public data sets GSE19339, GSE97320 and GSE141512 were retrieved from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) Datasets public database. After data preprocessing, differentially expressed genes were screened, and differentially expressed ferroptosis-related genes associated with myocardial infarction were obtained. The biological function and signaling pathway enrichment analysis were performed to establish the PPI interaction network specific to heart tissue, and the differential diagnosis significance of differentially expressed ferroptosis-related genes associated with myocardial infarction was analyzed by ROC curve and decision tree model.A total of 317 genes showed significant changes in expression levels in patients with myocardial infarction, including 205 down-regulated genes and 112 up-regulated genes.Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis and functional classification of Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) signaling pathways showed that these genes were mainly involved in signaling pathways or biological functions related to inflammation and apoptosis.Five differentially expressed ferroptosis-related genes (SLC2A3, EPAS1, HMOX1, ATM, FANCD2) were obtained, all of which played key biological functions in cardiac tissue function. SLC2A3, EPAS1, HMOX1, ATM and FANCD2 genes all had good diagnostic value for myocardial infarction (P < 0.05). The increase of SLC2A3, EPAS1 and HMOX1 are risk factors for myocardial infarction, while ATM and FANCD2 are protective factors.Decision tree analysis showed that SLC2A3, HMOX1, ATM, FANCD2 gene had higher net yield in diagnosing myocardial infarction. In summary, the mechanism of ferroptosis is involved in the occurrence and progression of myocardial infarction. In this study, five differentially expressed ferroptosis-related genes associated with myocardial infarction were retrieved, which may be good biomarkers of ferroptosis after MI.These findings also suggest that the differential expression of ferroptosis-related genes associated with myocardial infarction has significant diagnostic significance for myocardial infarction.

Abstract
The hospital mortality in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is about 6% and has not decreased in recent years. The leading cause of death of these patients is ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) cardiac injury. It is quite obvious that there is an urgent need to create new drugs for the treatment of STEMI based on knowledge about the pathogenesis of I/R cardiac injury, in particular, based on knowledge about the molecular mechanism of ferroptosis. In this study, it was demonstrated that ferroptosis is involved in the development of I/R cardiac injury, antitumor drug-induced cardiomyopathy, diabetic cardiomyopathy, septic cardiomyopathy, and inflammation. There is indirect evidence that ferroptosis participates in stress-induced cardiac injury. The activation of AMPK, PKC, ERK1/2, PI3K, and Akt prevents myocardial ferroptosis. The inhibition of HO-1 alleviates myocardial ferroptosis. The roles of GSK-3β and NOS in the regulation of ferroptosis require further study. The stimulation of Nrf2, STAT3 prevents ferroptosis. The activation of TLR4 and NF-κB promotes ferroptosis of cardiomyocytes. MiR-450b-5p and miR-210-3p can increase the tolerance of cardiomyocytes to hypoxia/reoxygenation through the inhibition of ferroptosis. Circ_0091761 RNA, miR-214-3p, miR-199a-5p, miR-208a/b, miR-375-3p, miR-26b-5p and miR-15a-5p can aggravate myocardial ferroptosis.

Lack of cardiac benefit after intramyocardial or intravenous injection of mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles supports the need for optimized cardiac delivery. VESSEL PLUS 2023; 7:33. [PMID: 38812773 PMCID: PMC11136491 DOI: 10.20517/2574-1209.2023.98] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 05/31/2024]
Abstract
Aim To determine the differences in improvement in cardiac function by intramyocardial (IM) vs. intravenous (IV) injection of human bone mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (HBMSC-EV) after acute MI. Methods FVB mice underwent acute MI via left anterior descending coronary artery ligation and subsequent injection of: (1) IM saline control; (2) IM HBMSC-EV; (3) IV saline control; and (4) IV HBMSC-EV. Cardiac function was evaluated with weekly postoperative echocardiography. On postoperative day 28, the mice were euthanized, and the heart, lungs, liver, spleen, and kidneys were harvested. Given previous studies showing HBMSC-EV hepatic uptake after IV injection, the liver was evaluated for changes in inflammation, fibrosis, and proliferation. Results On postoperative day 28, there were no significant differences in left ventricular ejection fraction (P = 0.6151), fractional shortening (P = 0.1135), or anterior border zone fibrosis (P = 0.6333) in any of the experimental groups. Interestingly, there was a strong trend demonstrating improvement in infarct size on fibrosis staining, which did not reach significance (P = 0.05620). There were no differences in hepatic inflammation, fibrosis, and proliferation. Conclusions Although there was a trend in the improvement in infarct size, a single-dose administration of neither IM nor IV injection of HBMSC-EV resulted in significant improvement in post-MI cardiac function. A major limitation of this study is the lack of trials determining the optimal dose of HBMSC-EV needed in this model. However, the current study demonstrates that future studies are required to either optimize administration or bioengineer HBMSC-EV with cardiac-homing properties.

J Adv Res 2023:S2090-1232(23)00402-2. [PMID: 38123019 DOI: 10.1016/j.jare.2023.12.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2023] [Revised: 12/15/2023] [Accepted: 12/16/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiovascular disease (CVD) has been the leading cause of death worldwide for many years. In recent years, exosomes have gained extensive attention in the cardiovascular system due to their excellent biocompatibility. Studies have extensively researched miRNAs in exosomes and found that they play critical roles in various physiological and pathological processes in the cardiovascular system. These processes include promoting or inhibiting inflammatory responses, promoting angiogenesis, participating in cell proliferation and migration, and promoting pathological progression such as fibrosis. AIM OF REVIEW This systematic review examines the role of exosomes in various cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, ischemia-reperfusion injury, heart failure and cardiomyopathy. It also presents the latest treatment and prevention methods utilizing exosomes. The study aims to provide new insights and approaches for preventing and treating cardiovascular diseases by exploring the relationship between exosomes and these conditions. Furthermore, the review emphasizes the potential clinical use of exosomes as biomarkers for diagnosing cardiovascular diseases. KEY SCIENTIFIC CONCEPTS OF REVIEW Exosomes are nanoscale vesicles surrounded by lipid bilayers that are secreted by most cells in the body. They are heterogeneous, varying in size and composition, with a diameter typically ranging from 40 to 160 nm. Exosomes serve as a means of information communication between cells, carrying various biologically active substances, including lipids, proteins, and small RNAs such as miRNAs and lncRNAs. As a result, they participate in both physiological and pathological processes within the body.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs), encompassing exosomes, microvesicles (MVs), and apoptotic bodies (ABs), are cell-derived heterogeneous nanoparticles with a pivotal role in intercellular communication. EVs are enclosed by a lipid-bilayer membrane to escape enzymatic degradation. EVs contain various functional molecules (e.g., nucleic acids, proteins, lipids and metabolites) which can be transferred from donor cells to recipient cells. EVs provide many advantages including accessibility, modifiability and easy storage, stability, biocompatibility, heterogeneity and they readily penetrate through biological barriers, making EVs ideal and promising candidates for diagnosis/prognosis biomarkers and therapeutic tools. Recently, EVs were implicated in both physiological and pathophysiological settings of cardiovascular system through regulation of cell-cell communication. Numerous studies have reported a role for EVs in the pathophysiological progression of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and have evaluated the utility of EVs for the diagnosis/prognosis and therapeutics of CVDs. In this review, we summarize the biology of EVs, evaluate the perceived biological function of EVs in different CVDs along with a consideration of recent progress for the application of EVs in diagnosis/prognosis and therapies of CVDs.

Abstract
Ferroptosis, a regulated form of cellular death characterized by the iron-mediated accumulation of lipid peroxides, provides a novel avenue for delving into the intersection of cellular metabolism, oxidative stress, and disease pathology. We have witnessed a mounting fascination with ferroptosis, attributed to its pivotal roles across diverse physiological and pathological conditions including developmental processes, metabolic dynamics, oncogenic pathways, neurodegenerative cascades, and traumatic tissue injuries. By unraveling the intricate underpinnings of the molecular machinery, pivotal contributors, intricate signaling conduits, and regulatory networks governing ferroptosis, researchers aim to bridge the gap between the intricacies of this unique mode of cellular death and its multifaceted implications for health and disease. In light of the rapidly advancing landscape of ferroptosis research, we present a comprehensive review aiming at the extensive implications of ferroptosis in the origins and progress of human diseases. This review concludes with a careful analysis of potential treatment approaches carefully designed to either inhibit or promote ferroptosis. Additionally, we have succinctly summarized the potential therapeutic targets and compounds that hold promise in targeting ferroptosis within various diseases. This pivotal facet underscores the burgeoning possibilities for manipulating ferroptosis as a therapeutic strategy. In summary, this review enriched the insights of both investigators and practitioners, while fostering an elevated comprehension of ferroptosis and its latent translational utilities. By revealing the basic processes and investigating treatment possibilities, this review provides a crucial resource for scientists and medical practitioners, aiding in a deep understanding of ferroptosis and its effects in various disease situations.

PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2023; 119:154999. [PMID: 37597361 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2023.154999] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/06/2023] [Revised: 07/12/2023] [Accepted: 07/25/2023] [Indexed: 08/21/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) has multiple biological effects such as anti-tumor multiple drug resistance, antioxidation and anti-inflammatory properties. Ferroptosis is the main driving factor of ischemic heart injury, thus inhibiting ferroptosis may prove to be an effective treatment strategy for cardiovascular diseases. However, the role of EGCG on ferroptosis in ischemic myocardium and underlying mechanisms remain uncertain. PURPOSE This study was aimed to investigate the effects and potential mechanisms of EGCG on myocardial ischemic-induced ferroptosis both in vitro and in vivo. METHODS Cardiomyocyte hypoxia model and mouse acute myocardial infarction (AMI) model were established in vitro and in vivo. MiR-450b-5p and ACSL4 silencing or overexpression plasmids were transfected, with or without EGCG pretreatment. Cell viability was determined by the CCK-8 assay. Hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to evaluate the morphologic alterations. TTC staining was used to observe the infarction area, and echocardiography was adopted to appraise the heart function. Using flow cytometry, the presence of reactive oxygen species (ROS) was assessed. The content of cardiac troponin I (cTn I), glutathione (GSH), malondialdehyde (MDA), divalent iron ions (Fe2+) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were detected using reagent kits. A luciferase activity assay was performed to assess the binding ability of miR-450b-5p to ACSL4. Expressions of related genes and proteins were measured by RT-qPCR and western blotting respectively. RESULTS EGCG attenuated AMI-induced ferroptosis and improved myocardial ischemia injury, which was associated with reducing iron deposition and cTn I, inhibition of lipid peroxidation, decreasing TFR1 and ACSL4, and upregulating SLC7A11, FTH1 and GPX4. Meanwhile, EGCG pretreatment increased miR-450b-5p expression in ischemic myocardium. Further researches discovered that knockdown of miR-450b-5p partially compromised EGCG-generated protective effect in hypoxia HL-1 cells, while combination with miR-450b-5p mimic could strengthen the potency of EGCG on ischemic myocardium. The dual-luciferase test demonstrated that miR-450b-5p has binding to ACSL4. Furthermore, silencing of ACSL4 synergistically increased the cardioprotective effect of EGCG. More significantly, EGCG treatment regulated the ferroptosis-related proteins expression via miR-450b-5p/ACSL4 axis. CONCLUSION In summary, the present study evidently demonstrated that EGCG attenuates myocardial ischemia injury by targeting ferroptosis. Our work revealed the role of miR-450b-5p/ACSL4 axis in AMI for the first time. Further, it also elucidated the molecular mechanisms of EGCG on inhibiting ferroptosis greatly depend on the miR-450b-5p/ACSL4 axis, suggesting that EGCG may act as a novel anti-ferroptosis agent and exert a therapeutic role in AMI.

Abstract
As a novel form of regulated cell death, ferroptosis is characterized by intracellular iron and lipid peroxide accumulation, which is different from other regulated cell death forms morphologically, biochemically, and immunologically. Ferroptosis is regulated by iron metabolism, lipid metabolism, and antioxidant defense systems as well as various transcription factors and related signal pathways. Emerging evidence has highlighted that ferroptosis is associated with many physiological and pathological processes, including cancer, neurodegeneration diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and ischemia/reperfusion injury. Noncoding RNAs are a group of functional RNA molecules that are not translated into proteins, which can regulate gene expression in various manners. An increasing number of studies have shown that noncoding RNAs, especially miRNAs, lncRNAs, and circRNAs, can interfere with the progression of ferroptosis by modulating ferroptosis-related genes or proteins directly or indirectly. In this review, we summarize the basic mechanisms and regulations of ferroptosis and focus on the recent studies on the mechanism for different types of ncRNAs to regulate ferroptosis in different physiological and pathological conditions, which will deepen our understanding of ferroptosis regulation by noncoding RNAs and provide new insights into employing noncoding RNAs in ferroptosis-associated therapeutic strategies.
