Intestinal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) is one of common causes of acute lung injury (ALI). Early and accurate diagnosis of patients who are like to develop serious acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) would give a therapeutic advantage. Ferritin and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) are increased by oxidative stress and are potential candidates as a predictive biomarker of ARDS. However, the mechanisms responsible for the increases of ferritin and HO-1, and their relationship to ALI, are unclear. In order to elucidate the interactions between ferritin and HO-1, we studied the changes in ferritin and HO-1 levels in serum and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid after intestinal I/R injury in rats. Leukocyte number and protein contents in BAL fluid were elevated following I/R, and the increases were attenuated by mepacrine pretreatment. Both serum ferritin and HO-1 concentrations were progressively elevated throughout the 3 h observation period. Mepacrine pretreatment attenuated the increase of serum and BAL fluid ferritin concentrations, but did not suppress the increase of serum HO-1. Moreover, BAL fluid HO-1 levels did not change after I/R or after mepacrine pretreated I/R compared with sham rats. Unlike ferritin, HO-1 levels are not exactly matched with the ALI. Therefore, there might be a different mechanism between the changes of ferritin and HO-1 in intestinal I/R-induced ALI model.

Article Synopsis
- Cisplatin (DDP) is an effective treatment for advanced ovarian cancer but faces issues like resistance and toxicity; traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs), specifically the herb pair Scutellaria barbata D.Don and Hedyotis diffusa Willd (SB-HD), are being explored for their potential to enhance DDP's effectiveness.
- In laboratory studies, a 2:1 ratio of SB-HD to DDP showed synergistic effects in reducing ovarian cancer cell viability, promoting apoptosis, and inhibiting cell migration; in animal models, this combination significantly suppressed tumor growth while minimizing DDP's toxic side effects.
- The mechanism behind this synergistic effect involves promoting oxidative stress, altering energy production, and modulating specific

Unlike apoptosis, necrosis and autophagy, ferroptosis is a novel type of regulated cell death, and the mechanism by which selenium nanoparticles induce ferroptosis in cancer cells has rarely been investigated. To investigate the mechanism of inhibition of HepG2 cell proliferation by fucoidan-selenium nanoparticles (FD-SeNPs) by inducing ferroptosis. The mechanism was explored by detecting ROS, MDA, GSH and Fe and utilizing TEM and Western blot assay.

S-3'-hydroxy-7', 2', 4'-trimethoxyisoxane (ShtIX) is a novel isoflavane compound that exhibits significant anticancer activity against a variety of cancer cells. Our previous studies have confirmed that ShtIX induced ferroptosis by inhibiting Nr2/HO-1 pathway in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells, both in vitro and vivo. Recent research has increasingly recognized ferroptosis as an autophagy-dependent form of cell death.

Background: Ferroptosis is a key process in doxorubicin (DOX)-induced cardiotoxicity and is a potentially important therapeutic target. Thymoquinone (TQ) is a monoterpenoid compound isolated from black cumin extract that exhibits antitumor effects and acts as a powerful mitochondrial-targeted antioxidant. In this study, we investigated the effect of TQ on DOX-induced cardiotoxicity and the potential underlying mechanisms.
