Chen Y, Li Y, Wu M, Li Z. Electroacupuncture improves cognitive function in APP/PS1 mice by inhibiting oxidative stress related hippocampal neuronal ferroptosis. Brain Res 2024; 1831:148744. [PMID: 38163562 DOI: 10.1016/j.brainres.2023.148744] [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: 09/22/2023] [Revised: 12/03/2023] [Accepted: 12/29/2023] [Indexed: 01/03/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Electroacupuncture, recognized as a crucial non-pharmacological therapeutic approach, has demonstrated notable efficacy in enhancing cognitive function among Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients. This study aimed to investigate the neuroprotective properties of electroacupuncture in APP/PS1 mice with AD. METHODS A total of thirty APP/PS1 mice were randomly assigned to three groups: the Alzheimer's disease group (AD), the electroacupuncture treatment group (EA), and the ferroptosis inhibitor deferasirox treatment group (DFX). Additionally, ten C57BL/6 mice were included as a control group (Control). In the EA group, mice underwent flat needling at Baihui and Yintang, as well as point needling at Renzhong, once daily for 15 min each time. In the DFX group, mice received intraperitoneal injections of deferasirox at a dosage of 100 mg/kg/day. Following the 28-day treatment period, behavioral evaluation, morphological observation of neurons, and detection of neuronal ferroptosis were conducted. RESULTS The electroacupuncture treatment demonstrated a significant improvement in spatial learning, memory ability, and neuronal damage in mice with AD. Analysis of neuronal ferroptosis markers indicated that electroacupuncture interventions reduced the elevated levels of malondialdehyde, iron, and ptgs2 expression, while also increasing superoxide dismutase activity, Ferroportin 1 and glutathione peroxidase 4 expression. Moreover, the regulatory impact of electroacupuncture on ferroptosis may be attributed to its ability to enhance the expression and nuclear translocation of Nrf2. CONCLUSIONS This study suggested that electroacupuncture could inhibit the neuronal ferroptosis by activating the antioxidant function in neurons through p62/Keap1/Nrf2 signal pathway, thereby improve the cognitive function of AD mice by the neuronal protection effect.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Following our recent finding that Ucp2 knockout promotes ferroptosis, we aimed to examine whether UCP2 alleviates myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury (MI/RI) by inhibiting ferroptosis. METHODS The left anterior descending coronary arteries of wild-type and Ucp2-/- C57BL/6 mice were ligated for 30 min and reperfused for 2 h to establish an MI/RI model. The effects of UCP2 on ferroptosis and MI/RI were determined by echocardiography, 2,3,5-triphenylttrazolium chloride staining, hematoxylin-eosin staining, Masson's trichrome staining, Sirius red staining, and analysis of myocardial injury markers and ferroptosis indicators. Ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1) and erastin (Era) were used to investigate whether UCP2 alleviated MI/RI by inhibiting ferroptosis and the molecular mechanism. RESULTS UCP2 was upregulated in the MI/RI model in WT mice. Deletion of Ucp2 exacerbated ferroptosis, altered the expression levels of multiple ferroptosis-related genes, and significantly exacerbated MI/RI. Knockout of Ucp2 promoted ferroptosis induced by Era and inhibited the antiferroptotic effects of Fer-1. Knockout of Ucp2 activated the p53/TfR1 pathway to exacerbate ferroptosis. CONCLUSION Our results showed that UCP2 inhibited ferroptosis in MI/RI, which might be related to regulation of the p53/TfR1 pathway.

Abstract
It is well-known that aqueous dispersions of phospholipids spontaneously assemble into bilayer structures. These structures have numerous applications across chemistry and materials science and form the fundamental structural unit of the biological membrane. The particular environment of the lipid bilayer, with a water-poor low dielectric core surrounded by a more polar and better hydrated interfacial region, gives the membrane particular biophysical and physicochemical properties and presents a unique environment for chemical reactions to occur. Many different types of molecule spanning a range of sizes, from dissolved gases through small organics to proteins, are able to interact with membranes and promote chemical changes to lipids that subsequently affect the physicochemical properties of the bilayer. This Review describes the chemical reactivity exhibited by lipids in their membrane form, with an emphasis on conditions where the lipids are well hydrated in the form of bilayers. Key topics include the following: lytic reactions of glyceryl esters, including hydrolysis, aminolysis, and transesterification; oxidation reactions of alkenes in unsaturated fatty acids and sterols, including autoxidation and oxidation by singlet oxygen; reactivity of headgroups, particularly with reactive carbonyl species; and E/Z isomerization of alkenes. The consequences of reactivity for biological activity and biophysical properties are also discussed.

Abstract
Since ferroptosis was first described as an iron-dependent cell death pattern in 2012, there has been increasing interest in ferroptosis research. In view of the immense potential of ferroptosis in treatment efficacy and its rapid development in recent years, it is essential to track and summarize the latest research in this field. However, few writers have been able to draw on any systematic investigation into this field based on human body organ systems. Hence, in this review, we provide a comprehensive description of the latest progress in unveiling the roles and functions, as well as the therapeutic potential of ferroptosis, in treating diseases from the aspects of 11 human body organ systems (including the nervous system, respiratory system, digestive system, urinary system, reproductive system, integumentary system, skeletal system, immune system, cardiovascular system, muscular system, and endocrine system) in the hope of providing references for further understanding the pathogenesis of related diseases and bringing an innovative train of thought for reformative clinical treatment.

Abstract
Ferroptosis has been suggested to involve in doxorubicin (DOX)-induced cardiotoxicity. However, the underlying mechanisms and regulatory targets of cardiomyocyte ferroptosis remains to be understood. This study demonstrated that the up-regulation of ferroptosis associated proteins genes were accompanied with the down-regulation of AMPKα2 phosphorylation in DOX treated mouse heart or neonatal rat cardiomyocytes (NRCMs). AMPKα2 knockout (AMPKα2-/-) significantly exacerbated mouse cardiac dysfunction, increased mortality, promoting ferroptosis associated mitochondrial injuries, enhanced ferroptosis associated proteins and genes expression, and lead to accumulation of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in mouse serum and hearts respectively. Ferrostatin-1 administration markedly improved cardiac function, decreased mortality, inhibited mitochondrial injuries and ferroptosis associated proteins and genes expression, and depressed accumulation of LDH and MDA in DOX treated AMPKα2-/- mouse. Moreover, Adeno-associated virus serotype 9 AMPKα2 (AAV9-AMPKα2) or AICAR treatment mediated AMPKα2 activation could significantly improve cardiac function and depress ferroptosis in mouse. AMPKα2 activation or silence could also inhibit or promote ferroptosis associated injuries in DOX treated NRCMs respecitively. Mechanistically, AMPKα2/ACC mediated lipid metabolism has been suggested to involve in regulating DOX-treatment induced ferroptosis other than mTORC1 or autophagy dependent pathway. The metabolomics analysis exhibited that AMPKα2-/- significantly enhanced accumulation of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PFAs), oxidized lipid, and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE). Finally, this study also demonstrated that metformin (MET) treatment could inhibit ferroptosis and improve cardiac function via activating AMPKα2 phosphorylation. The metabolomics analysis exhibited that MET treatment significantly depressed PFAs accumulation in DOX treated mouse hearts. Collectively, this study suggested that AMPKα2 activation might protect against anthracycline chemotherapeutic drugs mediated cardiotoxicity via inhibiting ferroptosis.

ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2023; 256:114889.

Abstract
Heat stress (HS) triggers mammary gland degradation, accompanied by apoptosis and autophagy in bovine mammary epithelial cells, negatively affecting milk performance and mammary gland health. Ferroptosis is iron-mediated regulated cell death caused by over production of lipid peroxides, however, the relationship between ferroptosis and HS in bovine mammary epithelial cells has not been clarified. Methionine (Met) plays a notable role in alleviating HS affecting the mammary glands in dairy cows, but the underlying mechanisms require further exploration. Therefore, we evaluated the regulatory effect and mechanism of Met in alleviating HS-induced ferroptosis by using bovine mammary epithelial cell line (MAC-T) as an in vitro model. The results showed that Met improved cell vitality, restored mitochondrial function; reduced the content of various reactive oxygen species (ROS), especially hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and superoxide anion (O2·-); had positive effects on antioxidant enzyme activity, namely glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and superoxide dismutase (SOD). More importantly, Met reduced labile iron protein (LIP) levels; increased iron storage and simultaneously decreased the levels of lipid reactive oxygen species (lipid ROS) and malondialdehyde (MDA), which all caused by HS in MAC-T. Mechanistically, Met increased the protein expression levels of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), solute carrier family 7, member 11 (SLC7A11) and ferritin heavy chain 1 (FTH1) by activating nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) expression. Additionally, the protection effect of Met was cut off in MAC-T cells after interference with Nrf2, manifesting in decresing the protein expression levels of GPX4, SLC7A11 and FTH1,and increasing the levels of LIP and lipid ROS. Our findings indicate that Met eases HS-induced ferroptosis in MAC-T through the Nrf2 pathway, revealing that Met produces a marked effect on easing HS-induced bovine mammary gland injury in dairy cows.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to explore the role of ferroptosis in the formation of calcium oxalate (CaOx) kidney stones and the regulatory mechanism of the ankyrin repeat domain 1 (ANKRD1) gene. The study found that the Nrf2/HO-1 and p53/SLC7A11 signaling pathways were activated in the kidney stone model group, and the expression of the ferroptosis marker proteins SLC7A11 and GPX4 was significantly reduced, while the expression of ACSL4 was significantly increased. The expression of the iron transport-related proteins CP and TF increased significantly, and Fe2+ accumulated in the cell. The expression of HMGB1 increased significantly. In addition, the level of intracellular oxidative stress was increased. The gene with the most significant difference caused by CaOx crystals in HK-2 cells was ANKRD1. Silencing or overexpression of ANKRD1 by lentiviral infection technology regulated the expression of the p53/SLC7A11 signaling pathway, which regulated the ferroptosis induced by CaOx crystals. In conclusion, CaOx crystals can mediate ferroptosis through the Nrf2/HO-1 and p53/SLC7A11 pathways, thereby weakening the resistance of HK-2 cells to oxidative stress and other unfavorable factors, enhancing cell damage, and increasing crystal adhesion and CaOx crystal deposition in the kidney. ANKRD1 participates in the formation and development of CaOx kidney stones by activating ferroptosis mediated by the p53/SLC7A11 pathway.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD), with high morbidity and mortality, seriously affect people's life and social development. Clinically, reperfusion therapy is typically used to treat ischemic cardiomyopathy, such as severe coronary heart disease and acute myocardial infarction. However, reperfusion therapy can lead to myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury (MIRI), which can affect the prognosis of patients. Studying the mechanisms of MIRI can help us improve the treatment of MIRI. The pathological process of MIRI involves many mechanisms such as ferroptosis and mitophagy. Ferroptosis can exacerbate MIRI, and regulation of mitophagy can alleviate MIRI. Both ferroptosis and mitophagy are closely related to ROS, but there is no clear understanding of the relationship between ferroptosis and mitophagy. In this review, we analyzed the relationship between ferroptosis and mitophagy according to the role of mTOR, NLPR3 and HIF. In addition, simultaneous regulation of mitophagy and ferroptosis may be superior to single therapy for MIRI. We summarized potential drugs that can regulate mitophagy and/or ferroptosis, hoping to provide reference for the development of drugs and methods for MIRI treatment.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a novel form of programmed cell death characterized by the accumulation of iron-dependent lipid peroxides, which causes membrane injury. Under the catalysis of iron ions, cells deficient in glutathione peroxidase (GPX4) cannot preserve the balance in lipid oxidative metabolism, and the buildup of reactive oxygen species on the membrane lipids leads to cell death. An increasing body of evidence suggests that ferroptosis plays a significant role in the development and occurrence of cardiovascular diseases. In this paper, we mainly elaborated on the molecular mechanisms regulating ferroptosis and its impact on cardiovascular disease to lay the groundwork for future studies on the prophylaxis and treatment of this patient population.

Abstract
Coronary heart disease (CHD) is closely related to oxidative stress and inflammatory response and is the most common cardiovascular disease (CVD). Iron is an essential mineral that participates in many physiological and biochemical reactions in the human body. Meanwhile, on the negative side, iron has an active redox capacity, which leads to the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lipid peroxidation. There is growing evidence that disordered iron metabolism is involved in CHD's pathological progression. And the result of disordered iron metabolism is associated with iron overload-induced programmed cell death, often called ferroptosis. That features iron-dependent lipid peroxidation. Ferroptosis may play a crucial role in the development of CHD, and targeting ferroptosis may be a promising option for treating CHD. Here, we review the mechanisms of iron metabolism in cardiomyocytes (CMs) and explain the correlation between iron metabolism and ferroptosis. Meanwhile, we highlight the specific roles of iron metabolism and ferroptosis in the main pathological progression of CHD.

[PMID: 35770215 PMCID: PMC9234116 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2022.896792] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2022] [Accepted: 05/24/2022] [Indexed: 12/06/2022] Open
Abstract
Anthracyclines (ANTs) are a class of anticancer drugs widely used in oncology. However, the clinical application of ANTs is limited by their cardiotoxicity. The mechanisms underlying ANTs-induced cardiotoxicity (AIC) are complicated and involve oxidative stress, inflammation, topoisomerase 2β inhibition, pyroptosis, immunometabolism, autophagy, apoptosis, ferroptosis, etc. Ferroptosis is a new form of regulated cell death (RCD) proposed in 2012, characterized by iron-dependent accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lipid peroxidation. An increasing number of studies have found that ferroptosis plays a vital role in the development of AIC. Therefore, we aimed to elaborate on ferroptosis in AIC, especially by doxorubicin (DOX). We first summarize the mechanisms of ferroptosis in terms of oxidation and anti-oxidation systems. Then, we discuss the mechanisms related to ferroptosis caused by DOX, particularly from the perspective of iron metabolism of cardiomyocytes. We also present our research on the prevention and treatment of AIC based on ferroptosis. Finally, we enumerate our views on the development of drugs targeting ferroptosis in this emerging field.

COMPUTATIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND NEUROSCIENCE 2022; 2022:9629158. [PMID: 35498204 PMCID: PMC9054412 DOI: 10.1155/2022/9629158] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2022] [Revised: 02/23/2022] [Accepted: 03/04/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
Although coronary artery recanalization after myocardial infarction improves patient outcomes, inadequate ventricular remodeling following ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury and secondary cardiac fibrosis (CF) are common and can lead to heart failure. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in cardiovascular disorders. However, the underlying molecular mechanism of miRNAs in the occurrence and progression of CF has not been fully elucidated. Herein, through the construction of an I/R rat model and an angiotensin II-induced CF cell model, we evaluated the role of miR-375-3p in the progression of CF. In the I/R rat model and CF cell model, miR-375-3p promoted fibrosis by accelerating the ferroptosis of cardiomyocytes through mediating glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4). Furthermore, we treated the rats or cell model with miR-375-3p antagomir (or inhibitor) and ferroptosis inhibitor Ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1). The results showed that miR-375-3p antagomir (or inhibitor) and Fer-1 promoted the antioxidant capacity of cardiac fibroblasts, reduced GPX4-mediated ferroptosis process and alleviated I/R-induced CF. In conclusion, this study revealed that miR-375-3p directly targeted GPX4-an inhibitor of the ferroptosis pathway. Meanwhile, miR-375-3p can be a new potential biomarker for the prevention and treatment of CF.

Abstract
Over the past few years, there has been an undiminished interest in lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] and oxidized phospholipids (OxPLs), mainly carried on this lipoprotein. Elevated Lp(a) has been established as an independent causal risk factor for cardiovascular disease. OxPLs play an important role in atherosclerosis. The main questions that remain to be answered, however, is to what extent OxPLs contribute to the atherogenicity of Lp(a), what effect hypolipidaemic medications may have on their levels and the potential clinical benefit of their reduction. This narrative review aimed to summarize currently available data on OxPLs and cardiovascular risk, as well as the effect of established and emerging hypolipidaemic medications on Lp(a)-OxPLs.

Abstract
Abstract:
Ferroptosis is a novel form of programmed cell death that arises as a result of an increase in iron levels. Ferroptosis is implicated in a number of cardiovascular diseases, including myocardial infarction (MI), reperfusion damage, and heart failure(HF). Because cardiomyocyte depletion is the leading cause of patient morbidity and mortality, it is critical to thoroughly comprehend the regulatory mechanisms of ferroptosis activation. In fact, inhibiting cardiac ferroptosis has the potential to be a useful therapeutic method for cardiovascular disorders. The iron, lipid, amino acid, and glutathione metabolism strictly governs the beginning and execution of ferroptosis. Therefore, ferroptosis can be inhibited by iron chelators, free radical-trapping antioxidants, GPX4 (Glutathione Peroxidase 4) activators, and lipid peroxidation (LPO) inhibitors. However, the search for new molecular targets for ferroptosis is becoming increasingly important in cardiovascular disease research. In this review, we address the importance of ferroptosis in various cardiovascular illnesses, provide an update on current information about the molecular mechanisms that drive ferroptosis, and discuss the role of ferroptosis inhibitors in cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is one type of programmed cell death discovered in recent years, which is characterized by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation and participating in iron, lipid and antioxidant metabolism. Ferroptosis is different from the traditional cell death types such as apoptosis, necroptosis and autophagy in morphology, biochemistry and genetics. Cardiovascular diseases are considered as an important cause of death from non-communicable diseases in the global population and poses a serious threat to human health. Apoptosis has long been thought to be the major type of cardiomyocyte death, but now ferroptosis has been shown to play a major role in cardiovascular diseases as well. This review will discuss related issues such as the mechanisms of ferroptosis and its effects on the occurrence and development of cardiovascular diseases, aiming to provide a novel target for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
Diabetic mellitus (DM) is a common degenerative chronic metabolic disease often accompanied by severe cardiovascular complications (DCCs) as major causes of death in diabetic patients with diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) as the most common DCC. The metabolic disturbance in DCM generates the conditions/substrates and inducers/triggers and activates the signaling molecules and death executioners leading to cardiomyocyte death which accelerates the development of DCM and the degeneration of DCM to heart failure. Various forms of programmed active cell death including apoptosis, pyroptosis, autophagic cell death, autosis, necroptosis, ferroptosis and entosis have been identified and characterized in many types of cardiac disease. Evidence has also been obtained for the presence of multiple forms of cell death in DCM. Most importantly, published animal experiments have demonstrated that suppression of cardiomyocyte death of any forms yields tremendous protective effects on DCM. Herein, we provide the most updated data on the subject of cell death in DCM, critical analysis of published results focusing on the pathophysiological roles of cell death, and pertinent perspectives of future studies.

Abstract
Simple Summary The heterogeneity of complicated diseases like cancer negatively affects patients’ responses to treatment. Finding homogeneous subgroups of patients within the cancer population and finding the appropriate treatment for each subgroup will improve patients’ survival. In this study, we focus on triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), where approximately 80% of patients do not entirely respond to chemotherapy. Our aim is to find subgroups of TNBC patients and identify drugs that have the potential to tailor treatments for each group through drug repositioning. After applying our method to TNBC, we found that different targeted mechanisms were suggested for different groups of patients. Our findings could help the research community to gain a better understanding of different subgroups within the TNBC population and can help the drugs to be repurposed with explainable results regarding the targeted mechanism. Abstract Breast cancer (BC) is the leading cause of death among female patients with cancer. Patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) have the lowest survival rate. TNBC has substantial heterogeneity within the BC population. This study utilized our novel patient stratification and drug repositioning method to find subgroups of BC patients that share common genetic profiles and that may respond similarly to the recommended drugs. After further examination of the discovered patient subgroups, we identified five homogeneous druggable TNBC subgroups. A drug repositioning algorithm was then applied to find the drugs with a high potential for each subgroup. Most of the top drugs for these subgroups were chemotherapy used for various types of cancer, including BC. After analyzing the biological mechanisms targeted by these drugs, ferroptosis was the common cell death mechanism induced by the top drugs in the subgroups with neoplasm subdivision and race as clinical variables. In contrast, the antioxidative effect on cancer cells was the common targeted mechanism in the subgroup of patients with an age less than 50. Literature reviews were used to validate our findings, which could provide invaluable insights to streamline the drug repositioning process and could be further studied in a wet lab setting and in clinical trials.

Abstract
Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) is a pathological process that occurs in many organs and diseases. Reperfusion, recovery of blood flow, and reoxygenation often lead to reperfusion injury. Drug therapy and early reperfusion therapy can reduce tissue injury and cell necrosis caused by ischemia, leading to irreversible I/R injury. Ferroptosis was clearly defined in 2012 as a newly discovered iron-dependent, peroxide-driven, nonapoptotic form of regulated cell death. Ferroptosis is considered the cause of reperfusion injury. This discovery provides new avenues for the recognition and treatment of diseases. Ferroptosis is a key factor that leads to I/R injury and organ failure. Given the important role of ferroptosis in I/R injury, there is considerable interest in the potential role of ferroptosis as a targeted treatment for a wide range of I/R injury-related diseases. Recently, substantial progress has been made in applying ferroptosis to I/R injury in various organs and diseases. The development of ferroptosis regulators is expected to provide new opportunities for the treatment of I/R injury. Herein, we analytically review the pathological mechanism and targeted treatment of ferroptosis in I/R and related diseases from the perspectives of myocardial I/R injury, cerebral I/R injury, and ischemic renal injury.

Ferroportin-mediated ferroptosis involved in new-onset atrial fibrillation with LPS-induced endotoxemia. Eur J Pharmacol 2021; 913:174622.

Abstract
Sepsis is a known risk factor for new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF), and previous studies have demonstrated that ferroptosis participates in sepsis-induced organ injury development. Nevertheless, the role of ferroptosis in new-onset AF with sepsis remains largely unknown. This study aims to investigate the underlying mechanisms linking ferroptosis and AF caused by sepsis. LPS-induced endotoxemia is often used to model the acute inflammatory response associated with sepsis. Herein, we reported that ferroptosis was significantly activated in LPS-induced endotoxemia rat model. We also observed that ferroportin (Fpn), the only identified mammalian non-heme iron exporter, was downregulated in the atrium of endotoxemia model. Vulnerability to AF was also significantly increased in a endotoxemia rat model. Additionally, Fpn knockdown by shFpn further increased intracellular iron concentration and oxidative stress and exaggerated the AF vulnerability, which was alleviated by ferroptosis inhibition. Mechanistically, silencing Fpn worsened the alterations in calcium handling proteins expression in a endotoxemia rat model. These findings suggest that Fpn-mediated ferroptosis is involved in the new-onset AF with LPS-induced endotoxemia via worsening the calcium handling proteins dysregulation and provides a novel and promising strategy for preventing AF development in sepsis.

Histochrome Attenuates Myocardial Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury by Inhibiting Ferroptosis-Induced Cardiomyocyte Death. Antioxidants (Basel) 2021; 10:antiox10101624.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and intracellular iron levels are critical modulators of lipid peroxidation that trigger iron-dependent non-apoptotic ferroptosis in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. Histochrome (HC), with a potent antioxidant moiety and iron-chelating capacity, is now available in clinical practice. However, limited data are available about the protective effects of HC on ferroptotic cell death in myocardial I/R injury. In this study, we investigated whether the intravenous administration of HC (1 mg/kg) prior to reperfusion could decrease myocardial damage by reducing ferroptosis. Rats undergoing 60 min of ischemia and reperfusion were randomly divided into three groups as follows: (1) Sham, (2) I/R control, and (3) I/R + HC. Serial echocardiography up to four weeks after I/R injury showed that intravenous injection of HC significantly improved cardiac function compared to the I/R controls. In addition, the hearts of rats who received intravenous injection of HC exhibited significantly lower cardiac fibrosis and higher capillary density. HC treatment decreased intracellular and mitochondrial ROS levels by upregulating the expression of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor (Nrf2) and its downstream genes. HC also inhibited erastin- and RSL3-induced ferroptosis in rat neonatal cardiomyocytes by maintaining the intracellular glutathione level and through upregulated activity of glutathione peroxidase 4. These findings suggest that early intervention with HC before reperfusion rescued myocardium from I/R injury by preventing ferroptotic cell death. Therefore, HC is a promising therapeutic option to provide secondary cardioprotection in patients who undergo coronary reperfusion therapy.

Abstract
Folic acid (FA)-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) is characterized by the disturbance of redox homeostasis, resulting in massive tubular necrosis and inflammation. Α-lipoic acid (LA), as an antioxidant, has been reported to play an important role in renal protection, but the underlying mechanism remains poorly explored. The aim of this study is to investigate the protective effect of LA on FA-induced renal damage. Our findings showed that LA could ameliorate renal dysfunction and histopathologic damage induced by FA overdose injection. Moreover, FA injection induced severe inflammation, indicated by increased release of pro-inflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and IL-1β, as well as infiltration of macrophage, which can be alleviated by LA supplementation. In addition, LA not only reduced the cellular iron overload by upregulating the expressions of Ferritin and ferroportin (FPN), but also mitigated reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation and lipid peroxidation by increasing the levels of antioxidant glutathione (GSH) and glutathione peroxidase-4 (GPX4). More importantly, we found that LA supplementation could reduce the number of Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL)-positive tubular cells caused by FA, indicating that the tubular cell death mediated by ferroptosis may be inhibited. Further study demonstrated that LA supplementation could reverse the decreased expression of cystine/glutamate antiporter xCT (SLC7A11), which mediated GSH synthesis. What is more, mechanistic study indicated that p53 activation was involved in the inhibitory effect of SLC7A11 induced by FA administration, which could be suppressed by LA supplementation. Taken together, our findings indicated that LA played the protective effect on FA-induced renal damage mainly by inhibiting ferroptosis.

Abstract
The recently discovered ferroptosis is a new kind of iron-regulated cell death that differs from apoptosis and necrosis. Ferroptosis can be induced by an oxidative stress response, a crucial pathological process implicated in cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Accordingly, mounting evidence shows that oxidative stress-induced ferroptosis plays a pivotal role in angio-cardiopathy. To date, the inhibitors and activators of ferroptosis, as well as the many involved signaling pathways, have been widely explored. Among which, epigenetic regulators, molecules that modify the package of DNA without altering the genome, emerge as a highly targeted, effective option to modify the signaling pathway of ferroptosis and oxidative stress, representing a novel and promising therapeutic potential target for CVDs. In this review, we will briefly summarize the mechanisms of ferroptosis, as well as the role that ferroptosis plays in various CVDs. We will also expound the epigenetic regulators of oxidative stress-induced ferroptosis, and the promise that these molecules hold for treating the intractable CVDs.

Abstract
Lipid peroxidation of cellular membranes is a complicated cellular event, and it is both the cause and result of various diseases, such as ischemia-reperfusion injury, neurodegenerative diseases, and atherosclerosis. Lipid peroxidation causes non-apoptotic cell death, which is associated with cell fate determination: survival or cell death. During the radical chain reaction of lipid peroxidation, various oxidized lipid products accumulate in cells, followed by organelle dysfunction and the induction of non-apoptotic cell death. Highly reactive oxidized products from unsaturated fatty acids are detected under pathological conditions. Pathological protein aggregation is the general cause of these diseases. The cellular response to misfolded proteins is well-known as the unfolded protein response (UPR) and it is partially concomitant with the response to lipid peroxidation. Moreover, the association between protein aggregation and non-apoptotic cell death by lipid peroxidation is attracting attention. The link between lipid peroxidation and protein aggregation is a matter of concern in biomedical fields. Here, we focus on lethal protein aggregation in non-apoptotic cell death via lipid peroxidation. We reviewed the roles of protein aggregation in the initiation and execution of non-apoptotic cell death. We also considered the relationship between protein aggregation and oxidized lipid production. We provide an overview of non-apoptotic cell death with a focus on lipid peroxidation for therapeutic targeting during protein aggregation diseases.

Abstract
Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury is an important factor that seriously affects the prognosis of patients with myocardial infarction. It can cause myocardial stun, no-reflow phenomenon, reperfusion arrhythmia, and even irreversible cardiomyocyte death. Regulated necrosis is a newly discovered type of regulatory cell death that is different from apoptosis, including necroptosis, pyrolysis, iron death and other forms. Regulated necrosis plays an important role in myocardial infarction, heart failure and other cardiovascular diseases, as well as myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury and other pathophysiological processes, and is expected to become a new target for intervention in this type of disease.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are considered the predominant cause of morbidity and mortality globally. Of these, myocardial infarction (MI) is the most common cause of CVD mortality. MI is a life-threatening condition which occurs when coronary perfusion is interrupted leading to cardiomyocyte death. Subsequent to MI, consequences include adverse cardiac remodeling and cardiac dysfunction mainly contribute to the development of heart failure (HF). It has been shown that loss of functional cardiomyocytes in MI-induced HF are associated with several cell death pathways, in particular necroptosis. Although the entire mechanism underlying necroptosis in MI progression is still not widely recognized, some recent studies have reported beneficial effects of necroptosis inhibitors on cell viability and cardiac function in chronic MI models. Therefore, extensive investigation into the necroptosis signaling pathway is indicated for further study. This article comprehensively reviews the context of the underlying mechanisms of necroptosis in chronic MI-induced HF in in vitro, in vivo and clinical studies. These findings could inform ways of developing novel therapeutic strategies to improve the clinical outcomes in MI patients from this point forward.

Abstract
Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) is a pathological process that occurs in numerous organs throughout the human body, and it is frequently associated with severe cellular damage and death. Recently it has emerged that ferroptosis, a new form of regulated cell death that is caused by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation, plays a significantly detrimental role in many I/R models. In this review, we aim to revise the pathological process of I/R and then explore the molecular pathogenesis of ferroptosis. Furthermore, we aim to evaluate the role that ferroptosis plays in I/R, providing evidence to support the targeting of ferroptosis in the I/R pathway may present as a therapeutic intervention to alleviate ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) associated cell damage and death.

Abstract
Oxidized phospholipids (OxPLs), complex mixtures of phospholipid oxidation products generated during normal or pathological processes, are increasingly recognized to show bioactive effects on many cellular signalling pathways. There is a growing body of evidence showing that OxPLs play an important role in many diseases, so it is essential to define the specific role of OxPLs in different diseases for the design of disease therapies. In vastly diverse pathological processes, OxPLs act as pro-inflammatory agents and contribute to the progression of many diseases; in addition, they play a role in anti-inflammatory processes, promoting the dissipation of inflammation and inhibiting the progression of some diseases. In addition to participating in the regulation of inflammatory responses, OxPLs affect the occurrence and development of diseases through other pathways, such as apoptosis promotion. In this review, the different and even opposite effects of different OxPL molecular species are discussed. Furthermore, the specific effects of OxPLs in various diseases, as well as the receptor and cellular mechanisms involved, are summarized.

Abstract
Ferroptosis belongs to a novel form of regulated cell death. It is characterized by iron dependence, destruction of intracellular redox balance and non-apoptosis. And cellular structure and molecules level changes also occur abnormally during ferroptosis. It has been proved that ferroptosis exist widespreadly in many diseases, such as heart disease, brain damage or alzheimer disease. At the same time, the role of ferroptosis in cancer cannot be underestimated. More and more indications have told that ferroptosis is becoming a powerful weapon against cancer. In addition, therapies rely on ferroptosis have been applied to the clinic. Therefore, it is necessary to understand this newly discovered form of cell death and its connection with cancer. This review summarizes the mechanism of ferroptosis, ferroptosis inducers based on different targets and inspection methods. At last, we analyzed the relationship between ferroptosis and malignancies, in order to provide a novel theory basis for cancer treatment.

Abstract
Iron is a necessary element for life; however, excess iron leads to oxidative stress by the Fenton reaction. Iron deficiency is prevalent in patients with heart failure, while iron overload is associated in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. These findings suggest the "iron paradox" in cardiovascular diseases. Iron metabolism in cardiovascular diseases is complex, and the mechanisms regulating systemic and cellular iron metabolism in cardiovascular diseases remain completely unknown. In this review, we focus on the role of iron in cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
To date, 3 clinical trials have shown symptomatic benefit from the use of intravenous (IV) iron in patients with heart failure (HF) with low serum iron. This has led to recommendations in support of the use of IV iron in this population. However, the systemic and cellular mechanisms of iron homeostasis in cardiomyocyte health and disease are distinct, complex, and poorly understood. Iron metabolism in HF appears dysregulated, but it is still unclear whether the changes are maladaptive and pathologic or compensatory and protective for the cardiomyocytes. The serum markers of iron deficiency in HF do not accurately reflect cellular and mitochondrial iron levels, and the current definition based on the ferritin and transferrin saturation values is broad and inclusive of patients who do not need IV iron. This is particularly relevant in view of the potential risks that are associated with the use of IV iron. Reliable markers of cellular iron status may differentiate subgroups of HF patients who would benefit from cellular and mitochondrial iron chelation rather than IV iron.

Abstract
The adult heart is a post-mitotic terminally differentiated organ; therefore, beyond development, cardiomyocyte cell death is maladaptive. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the world and aberrant cardiomyocyte cell death is the underlying problem for most cardiovascular-related diseases and fatalities. In this chapter, we will discuss the different cell death mechanisms that engage during normal cardiac development, aging, and disease states. The most abundant loss of cardiomyocytes occurs during a myocardial infarction, when the blood supply to the heart is obstructed, and the affected myocardium succumbs to cell death. Originally, this form of cell death was considered to be unregulated; however, research from the last half a century clearly demonstrates that this form of cell death is multifaceted and employees various degrees of regulation. We will explore all of the cell death pathways that have been implicated in this disease state and the potential interplay between them. Beyond myocardial infarction, we also explore the role and mechanisms of cardiomyocyte cell death in heart failure, myocarditis, and chemotherapeutic-induced cardiotoxicity. Inhibition of cardiomyocyte cell death has extensive therapeutic potential that will increase the longevity and health of the human heart.

Abstract
Following a prolonged coronary arterial occlusion, heterogeneously scattered, focal regions of low erythrocyte flow are commonly found throughout the reperfused myocardium. Experimental studies have also demonstrated the presence of widespread, focally patchy regions of microvascular ischemia during reperfusion (RMI). However, the potential contribution of RMI to tissue viability and function has received little attention in the absence of practical clinical methods for its detection. In this review, the anatomic/functional basis of RMI is summarized, along with the evidence for its presence in reperfused myocardium. Advances in microcirculation research related to obstructive responses of vascular endothelial cells and blood elements to the effects of hypoxia and low shear stress are discussed, and a potential cycle of intensification of RMI from such responses and progressive loss of functional capillary density is presented. In capillaries with impaired erythrocyte flow, compensatory increases in the delivery of oxygen, because of its low solubility in plasma, are effective only at high partial pressures. As discussed herein, attenuation of the cycle with oxygen at hyperbaric levels in plasma is, very likely, responsible for improved tissue level perfusion noted experimentally. Observed clinical benefits from intracoronary SuperSaturated oxygen (SSO2) delivery, including infarct size reduction, can be attributed to attenuation of RMI with improvement in microvascular blood flow.

Abstract
Fatty acids come in a variety of structures and, because of this, create a variety of functions for these lipids. Some fatty acids have a role to play in energy metabolism, some help in lipid storage, cell structure, the physical state of the lipid, and even in food stability. Fatty acid metabolism plays a particularly important role in meeting the energy demands of the heart. It is the primary source of myocardial energy in control conditions. Its role changes dramatically in disease states in the heart, but the pathologic role these fatty acids play depends upon the type of cardiovascular disease and the type of fatty acid. However, no matter how good a food is for one's health, its taste will ultimately become a deciding factor in its influence on human health. No food will provide health benefits if it is not ingested. This review discusses the taste characteristics of culinary oils that contain fatty acids and how these fatty acids affect the performance of the heart during healthy and diseased conditions. The contrasting contributions that different fatty acid molecules have in either promoting cardiac pathologies or protecting the heart from cardiovascular disease is also highlighted in this article.
