Normothermic liver perfusion derived extracellular vesicles have concentration-dependent immunoregulatory properties. J Extracell Vesicles 2024; 13:e12485.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are major contributors to immunological responses following solid organ transplantation. Donor derived EVs are best known for their role in transplant rejection through transferring donor major histocompatibility complex proteins to recipient antigen presenting cells, a phenomenon known as ‛cross-decoration'. In contrast, donor liver-derived EVs are associated with organ tolerance in small animal models. Therefore, the cellular source of EVs and their cargo could influence their downstream immunological effects. To investigate the immunological effects of EVs released by the liver in a physiological and transplant-relevant model, we isolated EVs being produced during normothermic ex vivo liver perfusion (NEVLP), a novel method of liver storage prior to transplantation. We found EVs were produced by the liver during NEVLP, and these EVs contained multiple anti-inflammatory miRNA species. In terms of function, liver-derived EVs were able to cross-decorate allogeneic cells and suppress the immune response in allogeneic mixed lymphocyte reactions in a concentration-dependent fashion. In terms of cytokine response, the addition of 1 × 109 EVs to the mixed lymphocyte reactions significantly decreased the production of the inflammatory cytokines TNF-α, IL-10 and IFN-γ. In conclusion, we determined physiologically produced liver-derived EVs are immunologically regulatory, which has implications for their role and potential modification in solid organ transplantation.

Abstract
Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) can seriously affect graft survival and prognosis and is an unavoidable event during liver transplantation. Ferroptosis is a novel iron-dependent form of cell death characterized by iron accumulation and overwhelming lipid peroxidation; it differs morphologically, genetically, and biochemically from other well-known cell death types (autophagy, necrosis, and apoptosis). Accumulating evidence has shown that ferroptosis is involved in the pathogenesis of hepatic IRI, and targeting ferroptosis may be a promising therapeutic approach. Here, we review the pathways and phenomena involved in ferroptosis, explore the associations and implications of ferroptosis and hepatic IRI, and discuss possible strategies for modulating ferroptosis to alleviate the hepatic IRI.

Abstract
Exosomes are a subtype of extracellular vesicles composed of bioactive molecules, including nucleic acids, proteins, and lipids. Exosomes are generated by the fusion of intracellular multivesicular bodies (MVBs) with the cell membrane and subsequently released into the extracellular space to participate in intercellular communication and diverse biological processes within target cells. As a crucial mediator, exosomes have been implicated in regulating ferroptosis-an iron-dependent programmed cell death characterized by lipid peroxide accumulation induced by reactive oxygen species. The involvement of exosomes in iron, lipid, and amino acid metabolism contributes to their regulatory role in specific mechanisms underlying how exosomes modulate ferroptosis, which remains incompletely understood, and some related studies are still preliminary. Therefore, targeting the regulation of ferroptosis by exosomes holds promise for future clinical treatment strategies across various diseases. This review aims to provide insights into the pathophysiology and mechanisms governing the interaction between exosomes and ferroptosis and their implications in disease development and treatment to serve as a reference for further research.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a newly discovered type of regulated cell death participated in multiple diseases. Different from other classical cell death programs such as necrosis and apoptosis, ferroptosis involving iron-catalyzed lipid peroxidation is characterized by Fe2+ accumulation and mitochondria alterations. The phenomenon of oxidative stress following organ ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) has recently garnered attention for its connection to the onset of ferroptosis and subsequent reperfusion injuries. This article provides a comprehensive overview underlying the mechanisms of ferroptosis, with a further focus on the latest research progress regarding interference with ferroptotic pathways in organ I/R injuries, such as intestine, lung, heart, kidney, liver, and brain. Understanding the links between ferroptosis and I/R injury may inform potential therapeutic strategies and targeted agents.

O-sialoglycoprotein Endopeptidase (OSGEP) Suppresses Hepatic Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury-Induced Ferroptosis Through Modulating the MEK/ERK Signaling Pathway. Mol Biotechnol 2024:10.1007/s12033-024-01084-y. [PMID: 38456959 DOI: 10.1007/s12033-024-01084-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2023] [Accepted: 01/16/2024] [Indexed: 03/09/2024]
Abstract
Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (HIRI) was widely accepted as a critical complication of liver resection and transplantation. A growing body of evidence suggested that O-sialoglycoprotein endopeptidase (OSGEP) was involved in cell proliferation and mitochondrial metabolism. However, whether OSGEP could mediate the pathogenesis of HIRI has still remained unclarified. This study investigated whether OSGEP could be protective against HIRI and elucidated the potential mechanisms. The OSGEP expression level was detected in cases undergoing ischemia-related hepatectomy and a stable oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) condition in hepG2 cells. Additionally, it was attempted to establish a mouse model of HIRI, thus, the function and mechanism of OSGEP could be analyzed. At one day after hepatectomy, the negative association of OSGEP expression level with the elevated serum levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) was noted. Moreover, it was attempted to carry out gain- and loss-of-function analyses of OSGEP in hepG2 cells to reveal its influences on OGD/R-induced injury and relevant signaling pathways. The findings suggested that OSGEP overexpression significantly protected hepG2 cells against ferroptotic cell death, while OSGEP consumption had opposite effects. Consistent with in vitro studies, OSGEP deficiency exacerbated liver functions and ferroptotic cell death in a mouse model of HIRI. The results also revealed that OSGEP mediated the progression of HIRI by regulating the MEK/ERK signaling pathway. Rescue experiments indicated that ERK1/2 knockdown or overexpression reversed the effects of OSGEP overexpression or knockdown on hepG2 cells under OGD/R condition. Taken together, the findings demonstrated that OSGEP could contribute to alleviate HIRI by mediating the MEK-ERK signaling pathway, which may serve as a potential prognostic marker and a therapeutic target for HIRI.

Abstract
Objective This review discusses recent experimental and clinical findings related to ferroptosis, with a focus on the role of MSCs. Therapeutic efficacy and current applications of MSC-based ferroptosis therapies are also discussed. Background Ferroptosis is a type of programmed cell death that differs from apoptosis, necrosis, and autophagy; it involves iron metabolism and is related to the pathogenesis of many diseases, such as Parkinson's disease, cancers, and liver diseases. In recent years, the use of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and MSC-derived exosomes has become a trend in cell-free therapies. MSCs are a heterogeneous cell population isolated from a diverse range of human tissues that exhibit immunomodulatory functions, regulate cell growth, and repair damaged tissues. In addition, accumulating evidence indicates that MSC-derived exosomes play an important role, mainly by carrying a variety of bioactive substances that affect recipient cells. The potential mechanism by which MSC-derived exosomes mediate the effects of MSCs on ferroptosis has been previously demonstrated. This review provides the first overview of the current knowledge on ferroptosis, MSCs, and MSC-derived exosomes and highlights the potential application of MSCs exosomes in the treatment of ferroptotic conditions. It summarizes their mechanisms of action and techniques for enhancing MSC functionality. Results obtained from a large number of experimental studies revealed that both local and systemic administration of MSCs effectively suppressed ferroptosis in injured hepatocytes, neurons, cardiomyocytes, and nucleus pulposus cells and promoted the survival and regeneration of injured organs. Methods We reviewed the role of ferroptosis in related tissues and organs, focusing on its characteristics in different diseases. Additionally, the effects of MSCs and MSC-derived exosomes on ferroptosis-related pathways in various organs were reviewed, and the mechanism of action was elucidated. MSCs were shown to improve the disease course by regulating ferroptosis.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a newly discovered form of cell death that is featured in a wide range of diseases. Exosome therapy is a promising therapeutic option that has attracted much attention due to its low immunogenicity, low toxicity, and ability to penetrate biological barriers. In addition, emerging evidence indicates that exosomes possess the ability to modulate the progression of diverse diseases by regulating ferroptosis in damaged cells. Hence, the mechanism by which cell-derived and noncellular-derived exosomes target ferroptosis in different diseases through the system Xc-/GSH/GPX4 axis, NAD(P)H/FSP1/CoQ10 axis, iron metabolism pathway and lipid metabolism pathway associated with ferroptosis, as well as its applications in liver disease, neurological diseases, lung injury, heart injury, cancer and other diseases, are summarized here. Additionally, the role of exosome-regulated ferroptosis as an emerging repair mechanism for damaged tissues and cells is also discussed, and this is expected to be a promising treatment direction for various diseases in the future.

Abstract
Tumor suppression by inducing NCOA4-mediated ferroptosis has been shown to be feasible in a variety of tumors, including gliomas. However, the regulatory mechanism of ferroptosis induced by NCOA4 in glioma has not been studied deeply. HECW1 and ZNF350 are involved in the biological processes of many tumors, but their specific effects and mechanisms on glioma are still unclear. In this study, we found that HECW1 decreased the survival rate of glioma cells and enhanced iron accumulation, lipid peroxidation, whereas ZNF350 showed the opposite effect. Mechanistically, HECW1 directly regulated the ubiquitination and degradation of ZNF350, eliminated the transcriptional inhibition of NCOA4 by ZNF350, and ultimately activated NCOA4-mediated iron accumulation, lipid peroxidation, and ferroptosis. We demonstrate that HECW1 induces ferroptosis and highlight the value of HECW1 and ZNF350 in the prognostic evaluation of patients with glioma. We also elucidate the mechanisms underlying the HECW1/ZNF350/NCOA4 axis and its regulation of ferroptosis. Our findings enrich the understanding of ferroptosis and provide potential treatment options for glioma patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is an important cause of graft dysfunction post-liver transplantation, where donor liver with severe steatosis is more sensitive to IRI. Liver IRI involves ferroptosis and can be alleviated by heme oxygenase-1-modified bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (HO-1/BMMSCs). AIMS To explore the role and mechanism of HO-1/BMMSCs in severe steatotic liver IRI. METHODS A severe steatotic liver IRI rat model and a hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) of severe steatosis hepatocyte model were established. Liver and hepatocyte damage was evaluated via liver histopathology and cell activity. Ferroptosis was evaluated through ferroptosis indexes. Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) was knocked down in severe steatotic hepatocytes. The role of Nrf2 and AMPK in HO-1/BMMSC inhibition of ferroptosis was examined using the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) pathway inhibitor Compound C. RESULTS The HO-1/BMMSCs alleviated severe steatotic liver IRI and ferroptosis. HO-1/BMMSCs promoted ferritin heavy chain 1(FTH1), Nrf2, and phosphorylated (p)-AMPK expression in the H/R severe steatotic hepatocytes. Nrf2 knockdown decreased FTH1 expression levels but did not significantly affect p-AMPK expression levels. The protective effect of HO-1/BMMSCs against H/R injury in severe steatotic hepatocytes and the inhibitory effect on ferroptosis were reduced. Compound C decreased p-AMPK, Nrf2, and FTH1 expression levels, weakened the HO-1/BMMSC protective effect against severe steatotic liver IRI and H/R-injured severe steatotic hepatocytes, and reduced the inhibition of ferroptosis. CONCLUSIONS Ferroptosis was involved in HO-1/BMMSC reduction of severe steatotic liver IRI. HO-1/BMMSCs protected against severe steatotic liver IRI by inhibiting ferroptosis through the AMPK-Nrf2-FTH1 pathway. HO-1/BMMSCs activate AMPK, which activates Nrf2, promotes its nuclear transcription, then promotes the expression of its downstream protein FTH1, thereby inhibiting ferroptosis and attenuating severe steatotic liver IRI in rats. Glu: glutamic acid; Cys: cystine; GSH: glutathione; GPX4: glutathione peroxidase 4; HO-1/BMMSCs: HO-1-modified BMMSCs; Fer-1: ferrostatin-1; DFO: deferoxamine; FTH1: ferritin heavy chain1; p-AMPK: phosphorylated AMP-activated protein kinase; Nrf2: nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2; IRI: ischemia-reperfusion injury; MCD: methionine-choline deficiency.

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.

Abstract
Regulation of cell mortality for disease treatment has been the focus of research. Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent regulated cell death whose mechanism has been extensively studied since its discovery. A large number of studies have shown that regulation of ferroptosis brings new strategies for the treatment of various benign and malignant diseases. Iron excess and lipid peroxidation are its primary metabolic features. Therefore, genes involved in iron metabolism and lipid metabolism can regulate iron overload and lipid peroxidation through direct or indirect pathways, thereby regulating ferroptosis. In addition, glutathione (GSH) is the body's primary non-enzymatic antioxidants and plays a pivotal role in the struggle against lipid peroxidation. GSH functions as an auxiliary substance for glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) to convert toxic lipid peroxides to their corresponding alcohols. Here, we reviewed the researches on the mechanism of ferroptosis in recent years, and comprehensively analyzed the mechanism and regulatory process of ferroptosis from iron metabolism and lipid metabolism, and then described in detail the metabolism of GPX4 and the main non-enzymatic antioxidant GSH in vivo.

Abstract
The therapeutic effect of MSC is closely related to its antioxidant capacity. There is no uniform standard for evaluating the antioxidant capacity of MSC. In this study, we compared the antioxidant capacity of control medium (CON) and conditioned medium (CM) from umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells cultured for 48 h, about total antioxidant capacity, DPPH scavenging capacity, O2- and hydroxyl radical inhibiting capacity, and the detection of antioxidant enzymes including superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, and catalase, and resistance to cellular oxidative damage caused by H2O2, SNAP, erastin, and RSL3. The results showed that CM had better DPPH scavenging capacity than CON. No significant differences were observed in antioxidant enzymes. CM did not resist the oxidative damage induced by H2O2 and SNAP, but it had a strong resistance to ferroptosis induced by erastin and RSL3, indicating that CM had excellent resistance to cell lipid peroxidation. CM could improve the cell shrinkage morphology induced by ferroptosis and reduce the production of lipid ROS. qPCR experiments proved that CM improved and regulated multiple pathways of ferroptosis, including genes related to iron metabolism such as FPN, FTH1, TFRC, and IREB2, and redox regulatory genes such as GPX4, AIFM2, DHODH, and TP53, and increased the antioxidant-related transcription factors NRF2 and ATF4.

Abstract
Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (HIRI) is the major complication of liver surgery and liver transplantation, that may increase the postoperative morbidity, mortality, tumor progression, and metastasis. The underlying mechanisms have been extensively investigated in recent years. Among these, oxidative stress, inflammatory responses, immunoreactions, and cell death are the most studied. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are defined as the RNAs that do not encode proteins, but can regulate gene expressions. In recent years, ncRNAs have emerged as research hotspots for various diseases. During the progression of HIRI, ncRNAs are differentially expressed, while these dysregulations of ncRNAs, in turn, have been verified to be related to the above pathological processes involved in HIRI. ncRNAs mainly contain microRNAs, long ncRNAs, and circular RNAs, some of which have been reported as biomarkers for early diagnosis or assessment of liver damage severity, and as therapeutic targets to attenuate HIRI. Here, we briefly summarize the common pathophysiology of HIRI, describe the current knowledge of ncRNAs involved in HIRI in animal and human studies, and discuss the potential of ncRNA-targeted therapeutic strategies. Given the scarcity of clinical trials, there is still a long way to go from pre-clinical to clinical application, and further studies are needed to uncover their potential as therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Liver failure includes distinct subgroups of diseases: Acute liver failure (ALF) without preexisting cirrhosis, acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) (severe form of cirrhosis associated with organ failures and excess mortality), and liver fibrosis (LF). Inflammation plays a key role in ALF, LF, and more specifically in ACLF for which we have currently no treatment other than liver transplantation (LT). The increasing incidence of marginal liver grafts and the shortage of liver grafts require us to consider strategies to increase the quantity and quality of available liver grafts. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have shown beneficial pleiotropic properties with limited translational potential due to the pitfalls associated with their cellular nature. MSC-derived extracellular vesicles (MSC-EVs) are innovative cell-free therapeutics for immunomodulation and regenerative purposes. MSC-EVs encompass further advantages: pleiotropic effects, low immunogenicity, storage stability, good safety profile, and possibility of bioengineering. Currently, no human studies explored the impact of MSC-EVs on liver disease, but several preclinical studies highlighted their beneficial effects. In ALF and ACLF, data showed that MSC-EVs attenuate hepatic stellate cells activation, exert antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptosis, anti-ferroptosis properties, and promote regeneration of the liver, autophagy, and improve metabolism through mitochondrial function recovery. In LF, MSC-EVs demonstrated anti-fibrotic properties associated with liver tissue regeneration. Normothermic-machine perfusion (NMP) combined with MSC-EVs represents an attractive therapy to improve liver regeneration before LT. Our review suggests a growing interest in MSC-EVs in liver failure and gives an appealing insight into their development to rehabilitate marginal liver grafts through NMP.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) involves a positive amplification feedback loop that stimulates innate immune-driven tissue damage associated with organ procurement from deceased donors and during transplantation surgery. As our appreciation of its basic immune mechanisms has improved in recent years, translating putative biomarkers into therapeutic interventions in clinical transplantation remains challenging. AREAS COVERED This review presents advances in translational/clinical studies targeting immune responses to reactive oxygen species in IRI-stressed solid organ transplants, especially livers. Here we focus on novel concepts to rejuvenate suboptimal donor organs and improve transplant function using pharmacologic and machine perfusion (MP) strategies. Cellular damage induced by cold ischemia/warm reperfusion and the latest mechanistic insights into the microenvironment's role that leads to reperfusion-induced sterile inflammation is critically discussed. EXPERT OPINION Efforts to improve clinical outcomes and increase the donor organ pool will depend on improving donor management and our better appreciation of the complex mechanisms encompassing organ IRI that govern the innate-adaptive immune interface triggered in the peritransplant period and subsequent allo-Ag challenge. Computational techniques and deep machine learning incorporating the vast cellular and molecular mechanisms will predict which peri-transplant signals and immune interactions are essential for improving access to the long-term function of life-saving transplants.

Abstract
With the improvement of the average life expectancy and increasing incidence of obesity, the burden of liver disease is increasing. Liver disease is a serious threat to human health. Currently, liver transplantation is the only effective treatment for end-stage liver disease. However, liver transplantation still faces unavoidable difficulties. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can be used as an alternative therapy for liver disease, especially liver cirrhosis, liver failure, and liver transplantation complications. However, MSCs may have potential tumorigenic effects. Exosomes derived from MSCs (MSC-Exos), as the important intercellular communication mode of MSCs, contain various proteins, nucleic acids, and DNA. MSC-Exos can be used as a delivery system to treat liver diseases through immune regulation, apoptosis inhibition, regeneration promotion, drug delivery, and other ways. Good histocompatibility and material exchangeability make MSC-Exos a new treatment for liver diseases. This review summarizes the latest research on MSC-Exos as delivery vehicles in different liver diseases, including liver injury, liver failure, liver fibrosis, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and ischemia and reperfusion injury. In addition, we discuss the advantages, disadvantages, and clinical application prospects of MSC-Exos-based delivery vectors in the treatment of liver diseases.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is an iron-dependently nonapoptotic cell death characterized by excessive accumulation of lipid peroxides and cellular iron metabolism disturbances. Impaired iron homeostasis and dysregulation of metabolic pathways are contributors to ferroptosis. As a major metabolic hub, the liver synthesizes and transports plasma proteins and endogenous fatty acids. Also, it acts as the primary location of iron storage for hepcidin generation and secretion. To date, although the intricate correlation between ferroptosis and liver disorders needs to be better defined, there is no doubt that ferroptosis participates in the pathogenesis of liver diseases. Accordingly, pharmacological induction and inhibition of ferroptosis show significant potential for the treatment of hepatic disorders involved in lipid peroxidation. In this review, we outline the prominent features, molecular mechanisms, and modulatory networks of ferroptosis and its physiopathologic functions in the progression of liver diseases. Further, this review summarizes the underlying mechanisms by which ferroptosis inducers and inhibitors ameliorate liver diseases. It is noteworthy that natural active ingredients show efficacy in preclinical liver disease models by regulating ferroptosis. Finally, we analyze crucial concepts and urgent issues concerning ferroptosis as a novel therapeutic target in the diagnosis and therapy of liver diseases.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a novel form of cell death, manifested by iron-dependent, non-apoptotic manner resulting from the intracellular accumulation of large clusters of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lipid peroxides due to abnormal iron metabolism. Since the liver is the main organ of human body for storing iron, it is essential to perform in-depth investigation on the role and mechanistic basis of ferroptosis in the context of divergent liver diseases. We previously summarized the emerging role of ferroptosis among various liver diseases, however, the past few years have been a surge in research establishing ferroptosis as the molecular basis or treatment option. This review article concentrated on the accumulating research progress of ferroptosis in a range of liver diseases such as acute liver injury/failure (ALI/ALF), immune-mediated hepatitis, alcoholic liver disease (ALD), nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and liver fibrosis. Ferroptosis may be a promising target for the prevention and treatment of various liver diseases, providing a strategy for exploring new therapeutic avenues for these entities.

[PMID: 36748023 PMCID: PMC9899014 DOI: 10.2147/jir.s385977] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/12/2022] [Accepted: 01/06/2023] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Ferroptosis is a recently identified iron-dependent form of intracellular lipid peroxide accumulation-mediated cell death. Different from other types of cell death mechanisms, it exhibits distinct biological and morphological features characterized by the loss of lipid peroxidase repair activity caused by glutathione peroxidase 4, the presence of redox-active iron, and the oxidation of phospholipids-containing polyunsaturated fatty acids. In recent years, studies have shown that ferroptosis plays a key role in various liver diseases such as alcoholic liver injury, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, liver cirrhosis, and liver cancer. However, the mechanism of ferroptosis and its regulation on chronic liver disease are controversial among different types of cells in the liver. Herein, we summarize the current studies on mechanism of ferroptosis in chronic liver disease, aiming to outline the blueprint of ferroptosis as an effective option for chronic liver disease therapy.

Abstract
Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) is a common pathological phenomenon that occurs in numerous organs and diseases. It generally results from secondary damage caused by the recovery of blood flow and reoxygenation, followed by ischemia of organ tissues, which is often accompanied by severe cellular damage and death. Currently, effective treatments for I/R injury (IRI) are limited. Ferroptosis, a new type of regulated cell death (RCD), is characterized by iron overload and iron-dependent lipid peroxidation. Mounting evidence has indicated a close relationship between ferroptosis and IRI. Ferroptosis plays a significantly detrimental role in the progression of IRI, and targeting ferroptosis may be a promising approach for treatment of IRI. Considering the substantial progress made in the study of ferroptosis in IRI, in this review, we summarize the pathological mechanisms and therapeutic targets of ferroptosis in IRI.

Abstract
Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is a major challenge in perioperative medicine that contributes to pathological damage in various conditions, including ischemic stroke, myocardial infarction, acute lung injury, liver transplantation, acute kidney injury and hemorrhagic shock. I/R damage is often irreversible, and current treatments for I/R injury are limited. Ferroptosis, a type of regulated cell death characterized by the iron-dependent accumulation of lipid hydroperoxides, has been implicated in multiple diseases, including I/R injury. Emerging evidence suggests that ferroptosis can serve as a therapeutic target to alleviate I/R injury, and pharmacological strategies targeting ferroptosis have been developed in I/R models. Here, we systematically summarize recent advances in research on ferroptosis in I/R injury and provide a comprehensive analysis of ferroptosis-regulated genes investigated in the context of I/R, as well as the therapeutic applications of ferroptosis regulators, to provide insights into developing therapeutic strategies for this devastating disease.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a newly discovered type of programmed cell death, which is closely related to the imbalance of iron metabolism and oxidative stress. Ferroptosis has become an important research topic in the fields of cardiomyopathy, tumors, neuronal injury disorders, and ischemia perfusion disorders. As an important part of non-coding RNA, microRNAs regulate various metabolic pathways in the human body at the post-transcriptional level and play a crucial role in the occurrence and development of many diseases. The present review introduces the mechanisms of ferroptosis and describes the relevant pathways by which microRNAs affect cardiomyopathy, tumors, neuronal injury disorders and ischemia perfusion disorders through regulating ferroptosis. In addition, it provides important insights into ferroptosis-related microRNAs, aiming to uncover new methods for treatment of the above diseases, and discusses new ideas for the implementation of possible microRNA-based ferroptosis-targeted therapies in the future.
