In metastasis of cancer cells, the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is prerequired. Ferroptosis is an iron-mediated cellular death process, but whether it involves EMT regulation remains elusive. In addition, how stress responders (Nrf2) respond to the redox alteration and cross-talking between them needs to be determined. Our data revealed that DpdtbA (2,2'-di-pyridineketone hydrazone dithiocarbamate butyric acid ester) resisted TGF-1-induced EMT in gastric cancer lines (SGC-7901 and MGC-823) through ferritinophagy-mediated ROS production. Furthermore, the depletion of Gpx4 and xCT as well as enhanced lipid peroxidation indicated that DpdtbA acted as Erastin did in ferroptosis induction, which thus provided chance to explore the causal relationship between ferroptosis and EMT. Our data illustrated that ferritinophagy-mediated ferroptosis promoted the EMT inhibition. In addition, activated Nrf2 involved the regulation on both ferroptosis and EMT in response to the alteration in the cellular redox environment. In brief, ferritinophagy-mediated ferroptosis and activation of the Keap1/Nrf2/HO-1 pathway were conducive to the EMT inhibition.

Ferritinophagy mediated by the AMPK/ULK1 pathway is involved in ferroptosis subsequent to ventilator-induced lung injury.

Mechanical ventilation (MV) remains a cornerstone of critical care; however, its prolonged application can exacerbate lung injury, leading to ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI). Although previous studies have implicated ferroptosis in the pathogenesis of VILI, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study investigated the roles of ferritinophagy in ferroptosis subsequent to VILI.

Article Synopsis
- - Sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE) leads to serious cognitive issues, and this study investigates if Yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1) can protect against SAE by targeting ferroptosis, a form of cell death linked to iron levels and lipid damage.
- - Experimental results showed that knocking out YAP1 in mice resulted in higher mortality and cognitive problems, demonstrated by various behavioral tests, while increased oxidative stress and inflammation were observed in their brains.
- - Overexpressing YAP1 in cell models helped reduce ferroptosis and improved mitochondrial function, suggesting that YAP1 plays a protective role by regulating mitochondrial dynamics and potentially reducing cognitive dysfunction in SAE.
Mechanism of USP18-Mediated NCOA4 m6A Modification Via Maintaining FTO Stability In Regulating Ferritinophagy-Mediated Ferroptosis in Cerebral Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury.

This study aimed to explore whether USP18 regulates cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury via fat mass and obesity-associated proteins (FTO)-mediated NCOA4. Middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) models were established in mice, and PC-12 cells treated with oxygen-glucose deprivation and reperfusion (OGD/R) were used as in vitro models. The USP18 lentiviral vector was transfected into cells in vitro and MCAO mice to observe its effect on ferroptosis.

Dexmedetomidine (DEX) has been confirmed to exert neuroprotective effects in various nerve injury models by regulating ferroptosis, including spinal cord injury (SCI). Although it has been established that CDGSH iron sulfur domain 2 (CISD2) can regulate ferroptosis, whether DEX can regulate ferroptosis by CISD2 in SCI remains unclear. Lidocaine was used to induce PC12 cells and stimulate rats to establish SCI models in vitro and in vivo.

Article Synopsis
- Cisplatin can cause serious kidney problems and lead to more deaths, and scientists found a link between this kidney damage and a type of cell death called ferroptosis.
- Myricitrin, a natural compound from plants, may help protect kidney cells from damage caused by cisplatin by stopping ferroptosis from happening.
- Experiments showed that myricitrin helped kidney cells stay alive, reduced harmful substances, and improved important proteins, but its protective effects could be lessened with a specific substance called rapamycin.
