Iron accumulation in tumors contributes to disease progression and chemoresistance. Although targeting this process can influence various hallmarks of cancer, the immunomodulatory effects of iron chelation in the tumor microenvironment are unknown. Here, we report that treatment with deferiprone, an FDA-approved iron chelator, unleashes innate immune responses that restrain ovarian cancer.

Transfusion-dependent Diamond-Blackfan anaemia (DBA) patients rapidly develop iron overload and frequently experience cardiac complications. The report by Lecornec and colleagues offers useful details on indications and the management of deferiprone, a highly efficient chelator in removing excess cardiac iron but associated with a high risk of agranulocytosis in DBA patients. Commentary on: Lecornec et al.

The selective clearance of mitochondria by mitophagy is an important quality control mechanism for maintaining mitochondrial and cellular health. Iron chelation, for example by the compound deferiprone (DFP), leads to a specific form of PINK1-PRKN/Parkin-independent mitophagy; however, the molecular mechanisms underlying this are poorly understood. In our recent paper, we examined the role of the deSUMOylating enzyme SENP3 in DFP-induced mitophagy.
