Double-edge sword roles of iron in driving energy production versus instigating ferroptosis

Shuping Zhang et al.

Summary: Iron is crucial for energy production and dysregulated iron homeostasis is the basis of many pathologies. Ferroptosis, an iron-dependent and lipid peroxidation-driven form of regulated cell death, has been implicated in various diseases. The mechanisms of ferroptosis are complex, involving well-established pathways as well as novel interactions related to cellular energy production. This review explores the contribution of iron to diverse metabolic activities and its connection to ferroptosis, emphasizing its role in driving energy production under both normal and pathological conditions.

NRF2 and Hypoxia-Inducible Factors: Key Players in the Redox Control of Systemic Iron Homeostasis

Tiago L. Duarte et al.

Summary: This review discusses the roles of oxygen-sensing pathways in iron homeostasis regulation, highlighting the significance of NRF2 in macrophages and the interaction between low iron/hypoxia and HIF2a in renal and intestinal tissues. The close crosstalk between oxygen-sensing pathways and iron regulatory mechanisms ensures prompt detection and restoration of systemic iron levels. Future therapeutic approaches may target redox-sensitive transcription factors to regulate iron levels systemically.

Ferroptosis: molecular mechanisms and health implications

Daolin Tang et al.

Summary: Cell death can be executed through different subroutines, such as ferroptosis which is an iron-dependent form of non-apoptotic cell death. Ferroptosis can occur through two major pathways, driven by redox imbalance and abnormal expression of redox-active enzymes. The process is precisely regulated at multiple levels, with the transcription factor NFE2L2 playing a central role in anti-ferroptotic defense.

Ferroptosis: mechanisms, biology and role in disease

Xuejun Jiang et al.

Summary: Ferroptosis, as a form of regulated cell death driven by iron-dependent phospholipid peroxidation, has seen significant growth in research in recent years. Studies have focused on molecular mechanisms, regulation, and functions of ferroptosis, linking this cell death modality to various pathologies and proposing its roles in normal physiology and potential therapeutic targeting.

CD36-mediated ferroptosis dampens intratumoral CD8+ T cell effector function and impairs their antitumor ability

Xingzhe Ma et al.

Summary: Understanding the mechanisms of how T cells become dysfunctional in a tumor microenvironment is crucial for cancer immunotherapy. This study found that CD36 expression in tumor-infiltrating CD8(+) T cells, induced by TME cholesterol, is associated with tumor progression and poor survival, and that genetic ablation of Cd36 in these T cells leads to enhanced tumor eradication. Targeting CD36 or inhibiting ferroptosis could restore T cell function and enhance antitumor efficacy, especially in combination with anti-PD-1 antibodies.

Selenium-GPX4 axis protects follicular helper T cells from ferroptosis

Yin Yao et al.

Summary: Researchers found that T follicular helper (T-FH) cells are highly sensitive to ferroptosis, and this process is regulated by the activity of the selenoenzyme GPX4. Selenium supplementation can increase GPX4 expression, leading to an increase in T-FH cell numbers and antibody responses.

Glutathione peroxidase 4-regulated neutrophil ferroptosis induces systemic autoimmunity

Pengchong Li et al.

Summary: This study identifies a role for GPX4-regulated ferroptosis in neutrophils from SLE patients, triggered by interferons and autoreactive antibodies, contributing to lupus pathogenesis. The mechanism involves enhanced binding of a transcriptional repressor to the Gpx4 promoter leading to elevated lipid-reactive oxygen species. Neutrophil ferroptosis is shown to be a significant driver of neutropenia in SLE and heavily contributes to disease manifestations.
