Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent, regulated form of cell death, and the process is complex, consisting of a variety of metabolites and biological molecules. Ovarian cancer (OC) is a highly malignant gynecologic tumor with a poor survival rate. However, the predictive role of ferroptosis-related genes in ovarian cancer prognosis remains unknown. In this study, we demonstrated that the 57 ferroptosis-related genes were expressed differently between ovarian cancer and normal ovarian tissue, and based on these genes, all OC cases can be well divided into 2 subgroups by applying consensus clustering. We utilized the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) cox regression model to develop a multigene risk signature from the TCGA cohort and then validated it in an OC cohort from the GEO database. A 5-gene signature was built and reveals a favorable predictive efficacy in both TCGA and GEO cohort ( < 0.001 and = 0.03). The GO and KEGG analysis revealed that the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the low- and high-risk subgroup divided by our risk model were associated with tumor immunity, and lower immune status in the high-risk group was discovered. In conclusion, ferroptosis-related genes are vital factors predicting the prognosis of OC and could be a novel potential treatment target.

Methods: The gene expression dataset GSE89632 was retrieved from the Gene Expression Omnibus database to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) group and the healthy group using the 'limma' package in R software and weighted gene co-expression network analysis. Gene ontology, kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes pathway, and single-sample gene set enrichment analyses were performed to identify functional enrichment of DEGs.

Background: Nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) is prevalent in Southeast Asia and North Africa, which is generally associated with limited treatment options and poor patient prognosis.
Objective: Ferroptosis is a recently observed cell death modality and has been shown to link to the efficacy of different anti-cancer treatments, thus offering opportunities to the development of novel therapies. This study aims to investigate the potentiating effects of COX-2 inhibitors on ferroptosis in nasopharyngeal cancer.

Background: (Iron-Sulfur Cluster Assembly 1) is involved in the assembly of iron-sulfur (Fe-S) clusters, which are vital for electron transport and enzyme activity. Some studies suggest the potential involvement of in tumor progression through interactions with ferroptosis-related genes (FRGs) and the tumor immune microenvironment (TME). However, there has been no systematic analysis of its role in FRGs and the TME or its predictive value for prognosis and immunotherapy response across different cancer types.

Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent form of cell death, which is characterized by the uncontrolled and overwhelming peroxidation of cell membrane lipids. Ferroptosis has been implicated in the progression of various pathologies, including steatotic liver, heart failure, neurodegenerative diseases, and diabetes. Targeted inhibition of ferroptosis provides a promising strategy to treat ferroptosis-related diseases.
