WNT16 from decidual stromal cells regulates HTR8/SVneo trophoblastic cell function via AKT/beta-catenin pathway

Xinyi Li et al.

Summary: This study found that DSCs promote invasion and survival of trophoblastic cells through the WNT16/AKT/beta-catenin pathway at the maternal-fetal interface in human early pregnancy. The disruption of this crosstalk between DSCs and trophoblasts may lead to pregnancy failure.

Supplementation with High or Low Iron Reduces Colitis Severity in an AOM/DSS Mouse Model

Seonghwan Moon et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of dietary iron deficiency and non-heme iron on the development of colitis-associated colorectal cancer (CAC). It was found that both iron deficiency and iron overload diets suppressed the growth of colonic tumors in a mouse model. Long-term iron deficiency or overload may negate the progression of CAC.

Hsp90 induces Acsl4-dependent glioma ferroptosis via dephosphorylating Ser637 at Drp1

Zong Miao et al.

Summary: Ferroptosis is a recently identified form of regulated cell death characterized by iron-dependent lipid ROS accumulation. This study reveals the mechanism of ferroptosis in gliomas and identifies Hsp90 and Drp1 as regulators of Acsl4 expression in ferroptosis. The promotion of the Hsp90-Acsl4 pathway enhances the anticancer activity of erastin, providing a new approach to ferroptosis-mediated glioma therapy.

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.

Marginally reduced maternal hepatic and splenic ferroportin under severe nutritional iron deficiency in pregnancy maintains systemic iron supply

Rafal Mazgaj et al.

Summary: During pregnancy, even initially iron-replete females may develop iron-deficiency anemia due to inadequate iron absorption. In iron-deficient pregnancy, levels of the key protein ferroportin are greatly reduced, leading to decreased iron transfer to the fetus, although some iron is retained in the placenta. These findings confirm the important role of ferroportin in regulating iron turnover in iron-deficient pregnant mouse females and their fetuses.

Suppression of uterine and placental ferroptosis by N-acetylcysteine in a rat model of polycystic ovary syndrome

Min Hu et al.

Summary: This study found that N-acetylcysteine (NAC) can alleviate uterine ferroptosis induced by DHT and INS, as well as increase the content of anti-ferroptosis genes. Additionally, changes in molecular factors in the placenta were observed after NAC treatment, with increased levels of glutathione peroxidase 4 protein. Ultimately, NAC selectively normalized the expression of certain genes in the uterus and placenta, demonstrating potential therapeutic effects in a rat model of PCOS.

TORC2/3-mediated DUSP1 upregulation is essential for human decidualization

Chunfang Xu et al.

Summary: Decidualization is a process where the endometrium transforms to support embryo development, with defective decidualization being linked to pregnancy complications. The study highlights the role of DUSP1 in regulating MAPK signaling in endometrial cells, showing its importance in safeguarding IGFBP1 expression and suggesting its involvement in the pathogenesis of recurrent miscarriage.

Single-cell transcriptome analysis reveals defective decidua stromal niche attributes to recurrent spontaneous abortion

Lili Du et al.

Summary: The research shows that abnormal cell composition and communication in the decidua during early pregnancy are associated with RSA, leading to stromal cell demise and pregnancy failure. These findings provide valuable insights for understanding the pathology of RSA and may help in preventing pregnancy loss.

The roles of free iron, heme, haemoglobin, and the scavenger proteins haemopexin and alpha-1-microglobulin in preeclampsia and fetal growth restriction

Lena Erlandsson et al.

Summary: In pregnancies complicated by preeclampsia (PE) and fetal growth restriction (FGR), iron homeostasis is altered, with iron levels significantly correlating with the severity of the diseases. The normal increase in plasma volume during pregnancy is less in PE and FGR, which has a different impact on factors like iron concentration compared to normal pregnancies. Excess iron may promote ferroptosis, contributing to trophoblast stress and lipotoxicity.

Modelling the impact of decidual senescence on embryo implantation in human endometrial assembloids

Thomas M. Rawlings et al.

Summary: The study suggests that decidual senescence controls endometrial fate decisions at implantation and the presence of senescent decidual cells creates a dynamic implantation environment, enabling embryo expansion and attachment but leading to gradual disintegration of assembloids. Pharmacological inhibition of stress responses in pre-decidual cells accelerated decidualization and eliminated the emergence of senescent decidual cells, resulting in a strong, static decidual matrix. The research highlights how endometrial assembloids may facilitate the discovery of new treatments to prevent reproductive failure.

Necrostatin-1 Prevents Ferroptosis in a RIPK1-and IDO-Independent Manner in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Hanna Yuk et al.

Summary: The study found that Necrostatin-1 can block ferroptosis in Huh7 and SK-HEP-1 cells through a mechanism independent from RIPK1 and IDO inhibition. This indicates that its antioxidant activity should be considered when using Necrostatin-1 as a RIPK1 inhibitor.

Premature senescence of placental decidua cells as a possible cause of miscarriage produced by mycophenolic acid

Paz de la Torre et al.

Summary: The study investigates the effects of MPA on decidual stromal cells, showing that MPA leads to decreased proliferation and viability of the cells. Molecular pathways impacted by MPA include reduction in pre-rRNA synthesis and disruption of the nucleolus, ultimately resulting in irreversible growth arrest of decidual cells.
