Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Basis Dis 2024; 1870:167210. [PMID: 38704001 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbadis.2024.167210] [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: 11/14/2023] [Revised: 04/21/2024] [Accepted: 04/26/2024] [Indexed: 05/06/2024]
Abstract
Oxaliplatin has been included as a basal drug in various chemotherapy regimens for colorectal cancer (CRC), a global health concern. However, acquired resistance to oxaliplatin affects the prognosis. This study aimed to determine whether the consumption of a KD increases the sensitivity of CRC cells to oxaliplatin via the inhibition of a classical stem cell marker, Krupple-like factor 5 (KLF5). KLF5 functions as a transcription factor for the leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) and directly binds to its promoter region. LIF upregulation induces dephosphorylation of metal regulatory transcription factor 1 (MTF1), which is recruited to the promoter area of Ferroportin (FPN1), the only cellular iron exporter. FPN1 upregulation reduces the labile iron pool (LIP) and ferroptosis in CRC cells. KLF5 knockdown inhibits the LIF/MTF1/FPN1 axis and induces iron overload, thereby conferring sensitivity to oxaliplatin to CRC cells. KD mimicked KLF5 silencing and sensitized CRC cells to oxaliplatin via a similar mechanism. Thus, potential correlations were observed among ketogenesis, stemness, and iron homeostasis. This finding can be used to formulate a new strategy for overcoming oxaliplatin resistance in patients with CRC.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the most common and severe clinical renal syndromes with high morbidity and mortality. Ferroptosis is a form of programmed cell death (PCD), is characterized by iron overload, reactive oxygen species accumulation, and lipid peroxidation. As ferroptosis has been increasingly studied in recent years, it is closely associated with the pathophysiological process of AKI and provides a target for the treatment of AKI. This review offers a comprehensive overview of the regulatory mechanisms of ferroptosis, summarizes its role in various AKI models, and explores its interaction with other forms of cell death, it also presents research on ferroptosis in AKI progression to other diseases. Additionally, the review highlights methods for detecting and assessing AKI through the lens of ferroptosis and describes potential inhibitors of ferroptosis for AKI treatment. Finally, the review presents a perspective on the future of clinical AKI treatment, aiming to stimulate further research on ferroptosis in AKI.

Puerarin suppresses macrophage M1 polarization to alleviate renal inflammatory injury through antagonizing TLR4/MyD88-mediated NF-κB p65 and JNK/FoxO1 activation. PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 132:155813. [PMID: 38905846 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2024.155813] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/21/2024] [Revised: 05/20/2024] [Accepted: 06/06/2024] [Indexed: 06/23/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a clinically common and serious renal dysfunction, characterized by inflammation and damage to tubular epithelial cells. Puerarin, an isoflavone derivative isolated from Pueraria lobata, has been proven to possess exceptional effectiveness in reducing inflammation. However, the effects and underlying mechanisms of puerarin on AKI remain uncertain. PURPOSE This study investigated the possible therapeutic effects of puerarin on AKI and explored its underlying mechanism. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS The effects of puerarin on AKI and macrophage polarization were investigated in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced or unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO)-induced mouse models in vivo and LPS-treated macrophages (Raw264.7) in vitro. Additionally, the effects of puerarin on inflammation-related signaling pathways were analyzed. RESULTS Administration of puerarin effectively alleviated kidney dysfunction and reduced inflammatory response in LPS-induced and UUO-induced AKI. In vitro, puerarin treatment inhibited the polarization of M1 macrophages and the release of inflammatory factors in Raw264.7 cells stimulated by LPS. Mechanistically, puerarin downregulated the activities of NF-κB p65 and JNK/FoxO1 signaling pathways. The application of SRT1460 to activate FoxO1 or anisomycin to activate JNK eliminated puerarin-mediated inhibition of JNK/FoxO1 signaling, leading to suppression of macrophage M1 polarization and reduction of inflammatory factors. Further studies showed that puerarin bound to Toll/interleukin-1 receptor (TIR) domain of MyD88 protein, hindering its binding with TLR4, ultimately resulting in downstream NF-κB p65 and JNK/FoxO1 signaling inactivation. CONCLUSIONS Puerarin antagonizes NF-κB p65 and JNK/FoxO1 activation via TLR4/MyD88 pathway, thereby suppressing macrophage polarization towards M1 phenotype and alleviating renal inflammatory damage.

Abstract
Therapeutic resistance represents a bottleneck to treatment in advanced gastric cancer (GC). Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent form of non-apoptotic cell death and is associated with anti-cancer therapeutic efficacy. Further investigations are required to clarify the underlying mechanisms. Ferroptosis-resistant GC cell lines are constructed. Dysregulated mRNAs between ferroptosis-resistant and parental cell lines are identified. The expression of SOX13/SCAF1 is manipulated in GC cell lines where relevant biological and molecular analyses are performed. Molecular docking and computational screening are performed to screen potential inhibitors of SOX13. We show that SOX13 boosts protein remodeling of electron transport chain (ETC) complexes by directly transactivating SCAF1. This leads to increased supercomplexes (SCs) assembly, mitochondrial respiration, mitochondrial energetics and chemo- and immune-resistance. Zanamivir, reverts the ferroptosis-resistant phenotype via directly targeting SOX13 and promoting TRIM25-mediated ubiquitination and degradation of SOX13. Here we show, SOX13/SCAF1 are important in ferroptosis-resistance, and targeting SOX13 with zanamivir has therapeutic potential.

Abstract
Deferoxamine, an iron chelator used to treat diseases caused by excess iron, has had a Food and Drug Administration-approved status for many years. A large number of studies have confirmed that deferoxamine can reduce inflammatory response and promote angiogenesis. Blood vessels play a crucial role in sustaining vital life by facilitating the delivery of immune cells, oxygen, and nutrients, as well as eliminating waste products generated during cellular metabolism. Dysfunction in blood vessels may contribute significantly to the development of life-threatening diseases. Anti-angiogenesis therapy and pro-angiogenesis/angiogenesis strategies have been frequently recommended for various diseases. Herein, we describe the mechanism by which deferoxamine promotes angiogenesis and summarize its application in chronic wounds, bone repair, and diseases of the respiratory system. Furthermore, we discuss the drug delivery system of deferoxamine for treating various diseases, providing constructive ideas and inspiration for the development of new treatment strategies.

Abstract
Mitochondria are the centers of energy and material metabolism, and they also serve as the storage and dispatch hubs of metal ions. Damage to mitochondrial structure and function can cause abnormal levels and distribution of metal ions, leading to cell dysfunction and even death. For a long time, mitochondrial quality control pathways such as mitochondrial dynamics and mitophagy have been considered to inhibit metal-induced cell death. However, with the discovery of new metal-dependent cell death including ferroptosis and cuproptosis, increasing evidence shows that there is a complex relationship between mitochondrial quality control and metal-dependent cell death. This article reviews the latest research results and mechanisms of crosstalk between mitochondrial quality control and metal-dependent cell death in recent years, as well as their involvement in neurodegenerative diseases, tumors and other diseases, in order to provide new ideas for the research and treatment of related diseases.

Abstract
The effect of immunoinflammation on bone repair during the recovery process of bone defects needs to be further explored. It is reported that Mg2+ can promote bone repair with immunoregulatory effect, but the underlying mechanism on adaptive immunity is still unclear. Here, by using chitosan and hyaluronic acid-coated Mg2+ (CSHA-Mg) in bone-deficient mice, it is shown that Mg2+ can inhibit the activation of CD4+ T cells and increase regulatory T cell formation by inducing immunosuppressive dendritic cells (imDCs). Mechanistically, Mg2+ initiates the activation of the MAPK signaling pathway through TRPM7 channels on DCs. This process subsequently induces the downstream HIF-1α expression, a transcription factor that amplifies TGF-β production and inhibits the effective T cell function. In vivo, knock-out of HIF-1α in DCs or using a HIF-1α inhibitor PX-478 reverses inhibition of bone inflammation and repair promotion upon Mg2+-treatment. Moreover, roxadustat, which stabilizes HIF-1α protein expression, can significantly promote immunosuppression and bone repair in synergism with CSHA-Mg. Thus, the findings identify a key mechanism for DCs and its HIF-1α-TGF-β axis in the induction of immunosuppressive bone microenvironment, providing potential targets for bone regeneration.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a life-threatening health condition associated with increasing morbidity and mortality. Despite extensive research on the mechanisms underlying AKI, effective clinical tools for prediction and treatment remain scarce. Oxidative stress and mitochondrial damage play a critical role in AKI and dopamine D4 receptor (DRD4) has been confirmed to be associated with oxidative stress. In this study, we hypothesized that DRD4 could attenuate AKI through its antioxidative and antiapoptotic effects. In vivo, DRD4 was remarkably decreased in the kidneys of mice subjected to ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) or cisplatin treatment. Notably, DRD4 significantly attenuated nephrotoxicity by suppressing oxidative stress and enhancing mitochondrial bioenergetics through the downregulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and NADPH oxidase 4 (NOX4) expression. In vitro, DRD4 demonstrated the ability to ameliorate oxidative stress-induced apoptosis in HK-2 cells subjected to hypoxia/reoxygenation- or cisplatin treatment. Transcriptome sequencing revealed that, mechanistically, DRD4 reduced the expression of its downstream target, interferon-stimulated gene 15 (ISG15), suppressing NOX4 ISGylation, enhancing the ubiquitination of NOX4, leading to its degradation, and ultimately counteracting oxidative stress-induced AKI. Altogether, these findings underscore the significance of DRD4 in AKI and elucidate DRD4 as a potential protectant against IRI or cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity.

Abstract
Myocardial infarction (MI), an acute cardiovascular disease characterized by coronary artery blockage, inadequate blood supply, and subsequent ischemic necrosis of the myocardium, is one of the leading causes of death. The cellular, physiological, and pathological responses following MI are complex, involving multiple intertwined pathological mechanisms. Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1), a crucial regulator of hypoxia, plays a significant role in of the development of MI by modulating the behavior of various cells such as cardiomyocytes, endothelial cells, macrophages, and fibroblasts under hypoxic conditions. HIF-1 regulates various post-MI adaptive reactions to acute ischemia and hypoxia through various mechanisms. These mechanisms include angiogenesis, energy metabolism, oxidative stress, inflammatory response, and ventricular remodeling. With its crucial role in MI, HIF-1 is expected to significantly influence the treatment of MI. However, the drugs available for the treatment of MI targeting HIF-1 are currently limited, and most contain natural compounds. The development of precision-targeted drugs modulating HIF-1 has therapeutic potential for advancing MI treatment research and development. This study aimed to summarize the regulatory role of HIF-1 in the pathological responses of various cells following MI, the diverse mechanisms of action of HIF-1 in MI, and the potential drugs targeting HIF-1 for treating MI, thus providing the theoretical foundations for potential clinical therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a prevalent autoimmune disease that involves the overgrowth and inflammation of synovial tissue, leading to the degeneration and impairment of joints. In recent years, numerous studies have shown a close relationship between the hypoxic microenvironment in joints and the occurrence and progression of RA. The main cause of the pathological changes in RA is widely believed to be the abnormal expression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) in joints. This paper describes and illustrates the structure and primary functions of HIF-1 and explains the main regulatory methods of HIF-1, including the PHDs/HIF-1 α/pVHL pathway, factor-inhibiting HIF (FIH), regulation of inflammatory cytokines, and the NF-κB pathway. Furthermore, this paper discusses the mechanism of HIF-1 and its impact on inflammation, angiogenesis, and cartilage destruction in greater detail. We summarize previous research findings on the mechanism of HIF-1 and propose new potential treatments for RA based on the pathogenesis of HIF-1 in RA.

Abstract
Ageing retina is prone to ferroptosis due to the iron accumulation and impaired efficiency of intracellular antioxidant defense system. Ferroptosis acts as a cell death modality that is characterized by the iron-dependent accumulation of lipid peroxidation. Ferroptosis is distinctively different from other types of regulated cell death (RCD) at the morphological, biochemical, and genetic levels. Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a common microvascular complication of diabetes. Its prevalence and severity increase progressively with age. Recent reports have shown that ferroptosis is implicated in the pathophysiology of DR. Under hyperglycemia condition, the endothelial cell and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cell will undergo ferroptosis, which contributes to the increased vascular permeability and the disrupted blood retinal barrier (BRB). The underlying etiology of DR can be attributed to the impaired BRB integrity and subsequent damages of the neurovascular units. In the absence of timely intervention, the compromised BRB can ultimately cause profound visual impairments. In particular, the ageing retina is vulnerable to ferroptosis, and hyperglycemia will accelerate the progression of this pathological process. In this article, we discuss the contributory role of ferroptosis in DR pathogenesis, and summarize recent therapeutic trials that targeting the ferroptosis. Further study on the ferroptosis mediated damage would enrich our knowledge of DR pathology, and promote the development of clinical treatment for this degenerative retinopathy.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a distinctive form of iron-dependent cell death characterized by significant ultrastructural changes in mitochondria. Given the crucial involvement of mitochondria in various cellular processes such as reactive oxygen species production, energy metabolism, redox status, and iron metabolism, mounting evidence suggests a vital role of mitochondria in the regulation and execution of ferroptosis. Furthermore, there exists a strong correlation between ferroptosis and various diseases. In this review, we aim to summarize the mechanisms underlying the induction and defense of ferroptosis, emphasizing the influence of mitochondria on this intricate process. Additionally, we provide an overview of the role of ferroptosis in disease, particularly cancer, and elucidate the mechanisms by which drugs targeting mitochondria impact ferroptosis. By presenting a theoretical foundation and reference point, this review aims to contribute to both basic cell biology research and the investigation of clinically relevant diseases.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is an emerging and novel type of iron-dependent programmed cell death which is mainly caused by the excessive deposition of free intracellular iron in the brain cells. This deposited free iron exerts a ferroptosis pathway, resulting in lipid peroxidation (LiPr). There are mainly three ferroptosis pathways viz. iron metabolism-mediated cysteine/glutamate, and LiPr-mediated. Iron is required by the brain as a redox metal for several physiological activities. Due to the iron homeostasis balance disruption, the brain gets adversely affected which further causes neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs) like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease, strokes, and brain tumors like glioblastoma (GBS), and glioma. Nanotechnology has played an important role in the prevention and treatment of these NDDs. A synergistic effect of nanomaterials and ferroptosis could prove to be an effective and efficient approach in the field of nanomedicine. In the current review, the authors have highlighted all the latest research in the field of ferroptosis, specifically emphasizing on the role of major molecular key players and various mechanisms involved in the ferroptosis pathway. Moreover, here the authors have also addressed the correlation of ferroptosis with the pathophysiology of NDDs and theragnostic effect of ferroptosis and nanomaterials for the prevention and treatment of NDDs.

Abstract
Microvascular endothelial damage caused by intestinal ischemia‒reperfusion (II/R) is a primary catalyst for microcirculation dysfunction and enterogenous infection. Previous studies have mainly focused on how neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) and ferroptosis cause intestinal epithelial injury, and little attention has been given to how NETs, mainly from circulatory neutrophils, affect intestinal endothelial cells during II/R. This study aimed to unravel the mechanisms through which NETs cause intestinal microvascular dysfunction. We first detected heightened local NET infiltration around the intestinal microvasculature, accompanied by increased endothelial cell ferroptosis, resulting in microcirculation dysfunction in both human and animal II/R models. However, the administration of the ferroptosis inhibitor ferrostatin-1 or the inhibition of NETs via neutrophil-specific peptidylarginine deiminase 4 (Pad4) deficiency led to positive outcomes, with reduced intestinal endothelial ferroptosis and microvascular function recovery. Moreover, RNA-seq analysis revealed a significant enrichment of mitophagy- and ferroptosis-related signaling pathways in HUVECs incubated with NETs. Mechanistically, elevated NET formation induced Fundc1 phosphorylation at Tyr18 in intestinal endothelial cells, which led to mitophagy inhibition, mitochondrial quality control imbalance, and excessive mitochondrial ROS generation and lipid peroxidation, resulting in endothelial ferroptosis and microvascular dysfunction. Nevertheless, using the mitophagy activator urolithin A or AAV-Fundc1 transfection could reverse this process and ameliorate microvascular damage. We first demonstrate that increased NETosis could result in intestinal microcirculatory dysfunction and conclude that suppressed NET formation can mitigate intestinal endothelial ferroptosis by improving Fundc1-dependent mitophagy. Targeting NETs could be a promising approach for treating II/R-induced intestinal microcirculatory dysfunction.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a new form of programmed cell death, which is characterized by the iron-dependent accumulation of lipid peroxidation and increase of ROS, resulting in oxidative stress and cell death. Iron, lipid, and multiple signaling pathways precisely control the occurrence and implementation of ferroptosis. The pathways mainly include Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway, p62/Keap1/Nrf2 signaling pathway. Activating p62/Keap1/Nrf2 signaling pathway inhibits ferroptosis. Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway promotes ferroptosis. Furthermore, some factors also participate in the occurrence of ferroptosis under hypoxia, such as HIF-1, NCOA4, DMT1. Meanwhile, ferroptosis is related with hypoxia-related diseases, such as MIRI, cancers, and AKI. Accordingly, ferroptosis appears to be a therapeutic target for hypoxia-related diseases.

Abstract
Rationale: Increased methylation of key genes has been observed in kidney diseases, suggesting that the ten-eleven translocation (Tet) methyl-cytosine dioxygenase family as well as 5mC oxidation may play important roles. As a member of the Tet family, the role of Tet1 in acute kidney injury (AKI) remains unclear. Methods: Tet1 knockout mice, with or without tempol treatment, a scavenger of reactive oxygen species (ROS), were challenged with ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) injury or unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) injury. RNA-sequencing, Western blotting, qRT-PCR, bisulfite sequencing, chromatin immunoprecipitation, immunohistochemical staining, and dot blot assays were performed. Results: Tet1 expression was rapidly upregulated following I/R or UUO injury. Moreover, Tet1 knockout mice showed increased renal injury and renal cell death, increased ROS accumulation, G2/M cell cycle arrest, inflammation, and fibrosis. Severe renal damage in injured Tet1 knockout mice was alleviated by tempol treatment. Mechanistically, Tet1 reduced the 5mC levels in an enzymatic activity-dependent manner on the promoters of Sod1 and Sod2 to promote their expression, thus lowering injury-induced excessive ROS and reducing I/R or UUO injury. Conclusions: Tet1 plays an important role in the development of AKI by promoting SOD expression through a DNA demethylase-dependent mechanism.

Abstract
The injury caused by ischemia and subsequent reperfusion (I/R) is inevitable during kidney transplantation and its current management remains unsatisfactory. Iron is considered to play a remarkable pathologic role in the initiation or progression of tissue damage induced by I/R, whereas the effects of iron-related therapy remain controversial owing to the complicated nature of iron's involvement in multiple biological processes. A significant portion of the cellular iron is located in the mitochondria, which exerts a central role in the development and progression of I/R injury. Recent studies of iron regulation associated with mitochondrial function represents a unique opportunity to improve our knowledge on the pathophysiology of I/R injury. However, the molecular mechanisms linking mitochondria to the iron homeostasis remain unclear. In this review, we provide a comprehensive analysis of the alterations to iron metabolism in I/R injury during kidney transplantation, analyze the current understanding of mitochondrial regulation of iron homeostasis and discussed its potential application in I/R injury. The elucidation of regulatory mechanisms regulating mitochondrial iron homeostasis will offer valuable insights into potential therapeutic targets for alleviating I/R injury with the ultimate aim of improving kidney graft outcomes, with potential implications that could also extend to acute kidney injury or other I/R injuries.

Abstract
A growing emphasis has been paid to the function of mitochondria in tumors, neurodegenerative disorders (NDs), and cardiovascular diseases. Mitochondria are oxygen-sensitive organelles whose function depends on their structural basis. Mitochondrial dynamics are critical in regulating the structure. Mitochondrial dynamics include fission, fusion, motility, cristae remodeling, and mitophagy. These processes could alter mitochondrial morphology, number, as well as distribution, to regulate complicated cellular signaling processes like metabolism. Meanwhile, they also could modulate cell proliferation and apoptosis. The initiation and progression of several diseases, such as tumors, NDs, cardiovascular disease, were all interrelated with mitochondrial dynamics. HIF-1 is a nuclear protein presented as heterodimers, and its transcriptional activity is triggered by hypoxia. It plays an important role in numerous physiological processes including the development of cardiovascular system, immune system, and cartilage. Additionally, it could evoke compensatory responses in cells during hypoxia through upstream and downstream signaling networks. Moreover, the alteration of oxygen level is a pivotal factor to promote mitochondrial dynamics and HIF-1 activation. HIF-1α might be a promising target for modulating mitochondrial dynamics to develop therapeutic approaches for NDs, immunological diseases, and other related diseases. Here, we reviewed the research progress of mitochondrial dynamics and the potential regulatory mechanism of HIF-1 in mitochondrial dynamics.

Free Radic Res 2023; 57:413-429. [PMID: 37897414 DOI: 10.1080/10715762.2023.2277143] [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: 03/27/2023] [Accepted: 09/28/2023] [Indexed: 10/30/2023]
Abstract
Mitophagy is a critical intracellular event during the progression of diabetic nephropathy (DN). Our previous study demonstrated that germacrone has anti-ferroptotic properties and is a potential therapeutic agent for DN. However, the relationship among germacrone, mitophagy, and ferroptosis in DN remains unclear. In this study, the data confirmed that germacrone ameliorates high glucose (HG)-induced ferroptosis through limiting Fe (2+) content and lipid reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation in human kidney 2 (HK-2) cells. Germacrone reversed HG-mediated inhibition of mitophagy. Mitophagy inhibition and anabatic mitochondrial ROS abrogate germacrone-mediated protective effects against ferroptotic death, resulting in the subsequent activation of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) cytosolic leakage-induced stimulator of interferon response CGAMP interactor 1 (STING) signaling. The combination of a mitochondrial ROS antagonist and germacrone acts synergistically to alleviate the ferroptotic death of tubular cells and DN symptoms. In summary, germacrone ameliorated ferroptotic death in tubular cells by reactivating mitophagy and inhibiting mtDNA-STING signaling in DN. This study provides a novel insight into germacrone-mediated protection against DN progression and further confirms that antioxidant pharmacological strategies facilitate the treatment of DN.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide and is characterised by frequently mutated genes, such as APC, TP53, KRAS and BRAF. The current treatment options of chemotherapy, radiation therapy and surgery are met with challenges such as cancer recurrence, drug resistance, and overt toxicity. CRC therapies exert their efficacy against cancer cells by activating biological pathways that contribute to various forms of regulated cell death (RCD). In 2012, ferroptosis was discovered as an iron-dependent and lipid peroxide-driven form of RCD. Recent studies suggest that therapies which target ferroptosis are promising treatment strategies for CRC. However, a greater understanding of the mechanisms of ferroptosis initiation, propagation, and resistance in CRC is needed. This review provides an overview of recent research in ferroptosis and its potential role as a therapeutic target in CRC. We also propose future research directions that could help to enhance our understanding of ferroptosis in CRC.

Abstract
Genetics, age, environmental factors, and oxidative stress have all been implicated in the development of Parkinson's disease (PD); however, a complete understanding of its pathology remains elusive. At present, there is no cure for PD, and currently available therapeutics are insufficient to meet patient needs. Ferroptosis, a distinctive iron-dependent cell death mode characterized by lipid peroxidation and oxidative stress, has pathophysiological features similar to those of PD, including iron accumulation, reactive oxygen species-induced oxidative damage, and mitochondrial dysfunction. Ferroptosis has been identified as a specific pathway of neuronal death and is closely related to the pathogenesis of PD. Despite the similarities in the biological targets involved in PD pathogenesis and ferroptosis, the relationship between novel targets in PD and ferroptosis has been neglected in the literature. In this review, the mechanism of ferroptosis is discussed, and the potential therapeutic targets implicated in both PD and ferroptosis are compared. Furthermore, the anti-PD effects of several ferroptosis inhibitors, as well as clinical studies thereof, and the identification of novel lead compounds for the treatment of PD and the inhibition of ferroptosis are reviewed. It is hoped that this review can promote research to further elucidate the relationship between ferroptosis and PD and provide new strategies for the development of novel ferroptosis-targeting PD therapy.

Inhibition of VDAC1 Rescues A β 1-42-Induced Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Ferroptosis via Activation of AMPK and Wnt/ β-Catenin Pathways. Mediators Inflamm 2023; 2023:6739691.

Abstract
Beta-amyloid (Aβ) accumulation in the brains of Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients leads to mitochondrial dysfunction and ferroptosis in neurons. Voltage-dependent anion channel 1 (VDAC1) is a major protein in the mitochondrial outer membrane. It has been reported that VDAC1 associated with mitochondrial dysfunction and ferroptosis. However, the mechanism by which VDAC1 regulates mitochondrial dysfunction and ferroptosis of neurons in AD remains unclear. This study is aimed at investigating the mechanism of action of VDAC1 in mitochondrial dysfunction and ferroptosis in neurons of the AD model. In this study, we determined cell viability after treatment with Aβ 1-42 via the MTT assay. The SOD, MDA, ROS, and MMP production was measured via the SOD kit, MDA kit, DCFDA staining, and JC-1 staining. The memory abilities of mice were detected via the Morris water maze test. The expression of AMPK/mTOR, Wnt/β-catenin, and GPX4 regulated by VDAC1 was detected via western blotting. Our present study showed that PC12 cells had decreased cell viability, increased LDH release, and decreased GPX4 expression after Aβ 1-42 treatment. Meanwhile, Aβ 1-42 induced MMP and SOD downregulation and increased MDA and ROS generation in PC12 cells. In addition, the expression of VDAC1 is increased in the brain tissue of AD mice and Aβ 1-42-treated PC12 cells. Further investigation of the role of VDAC1 in regulating AD found that all effects induced by Aβ 1-42 were reversed by inhibition of VDAC1. Additionally, inhibition of VDAC1 activates the AMPK/mTOR and Wnt/β-catenin pathways. Taken together, these findings demonstrate that inhibition of VDAC1 alleviates mitochondrial dysfunction and ferroptosis in AD neurons by activating AMPK/mTOR and Wnt/β-catenin.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a global disease with high morbidity and mortality. At present, the treatment of AKI still lacks targeted measures. Ferroptosis, a form of regulated cell death, plays an essential role in the initiation and progression of AKI. Current evidence proves that targeting ferroptosis is supposed to be a novel potential strategy to cure AKI. In this study, we aim to use bibliometric analysis to identify research trends and hotspots in the field of "ferroptosis in AKI". METHODS We chose the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-EXPANDED) index of the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) as the source database for data retrieval. Data were retrieved from the WoSCC on May 24, 2022. Full records and cited references of all the documents in WoSCC were collected. The R software and the Online Analysis Platform of Literature Metrology were used for data analysis and visual analysis. RESULTS There were 120 documents on "ferroptosis in AKI" in the WOSCC from 2014 to 2022 (May 24, 2022). There was a clear upward trend each year in the number of documents published. According to WoS report, China, the United States, and Germany were the top three countries involved in this research area, the majority of publications were included in the subject area "Cell Biology". Technical University of Dresden contributed the most publications, followed by Central South University and University of Pittsburgh. The Journal of Cell Death and Disease had the highest H-index and contributed the most publications. Linkermann A authored 16 articles and had the highest H-index. Multifactorial analysis of the keywords show that the research field is divided into two clusters. The most contributing publications and the most cited publications were also determined by factorial analysis. CONCLUSION This bibliometric analysis provides a comprehensive analysis of research trends and hot spots on the topic of "ferroptosis in AKI". The study of ferroptosis-related AKI research remains in its early stages. There will be a dramatically increasing number of publications on this field. Further research should focus on exploring the mechanisms of crosstalk between ferroptosis and other programmed cell deaths, and improves clinical applications and therapeutic effects against AKI.

Abstract
Cisplatin is widely recommended in combination for the treatment of tumors, thus inevitably increasing the incidence of cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury. Mitophagy is a type of mitochondrial quality control mechanism that degrades damaged mitochondria and maintains cellular homeostasis. Ferroptosis, a new modality of programmed cell death, is characterized by iron-dependent phospholipid peroxidation and oxidative membrane damage. However, the role of mitophagy in ferroptosis in kidney disease is unclear. Here, we investigated the mechanism underlying both BNIP3-mediated and PINK1-PARK2-mediated mitophagy-induced attenuation of ferroptosis in cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury. The results showed that cisplatin induced mitochondrial injury, ROS release, intracellular iron accumulation, lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis in the kidney, which were aggravated in Bnip3 knockout, Pink1 knockout or Park2 knockout cisplatin-treated mice. Ferrstatin-1, a synthetic antioxidative ferroptosis inhibitor, rescued iron accumulation, lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis caused by inhibition of mitophagy. Thus, the present study elucidated a novel mechanism by which both BNIP3-mediated and PINK1-PARK2-mediated mitophagy protects against cisplatin-induced renal tubular epithelial cell ferroptosis through the ROS/HO1/GPX4 axis.
