The application of Ferroptosis in diseases

Abstract

Ferroptosis is a new kind of regulated cell death that is characterized by highly iron-dependent lipid peroxidation. Ferroptosis involves various biology processes, such as iron metabolism, lipid metabolism, oxidative stress and biosynthesis of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH), glutathione (GSH) and coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10). A growing body of evidence suggests that ferroptosis is associated with cancer and neurodegenerative diseases (Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and Huntington's disease). This finding has helped develop a novel cytoprotective strategy to protect cells in neurodegenerative, blood and heart diseases by inhibiting ferroptosis. Meanwhile, the selective induction of ferroptosis has been adopted as a potential treatment strategy in some kinds of cancer. This review aims to summarize the mechanism of ferroptosis regulation and relevance to pathological physiology.

Statistics

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Glutathione plays a pivotal role in governing lipid metabolism by inhibiting impaired fatty acid metabolism, counteracting lipid peroxidation, and reducing lipid storage concomitant with fatty acid metabolism.

    “Crucially, glutathione plays a pivotal role in governing lipid metabolism by inhibiting impaired fatty acid metabolism, counteracting lipid peroxidation, and reducing lipid storage concomitant with fatty acid metabolism (Miess et al., 2018; Qiu et al., 2020).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
