Protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs) play an essential role in the regulation of ferroptosis, a form of programmed cell death characterized by abnormal iron ion metabolism, lipid peroxidation, and DNA damage. Through methylation, PRMTs modify specific proteins, thereby altering their activity, localizations, or interactions with other molecules to control the ferroptosis process. This study was conducted to provide a comprehensive overview of the relationship between PRMTs and ferroptosis, with a focus on the mechanisms by which PRMTs regulate ferroptosis and their effect on this cell death pathway. Currently, only a few studies have been conducted on the regulation of ferroptosis by PRMTs. However, this review provides insights into the effects of PRMTs on ferroptosis regulators, suggesting that the regulation of ferroptosis by PRMTs holds potential as a new therapeutic target for related diseases.

Many lines of evidence suggest that circular RNAs (circRNAs) are closely associated with the occurrence and progression of colon cancer. The objective of this study was to investigate the regulatory effects and mechanisms of circ_0075829 on ferroptosis and immune escape in colon cancer. We utilized colon cancer cell lines and a xenograft mouse model to analyze the function of circ_0075829 in vitro and in vivo.

Gastric cancer (GC), a prevalent malignancy worldwide, encompasses a multitude of biological processes in its progression. Recently, ferroptosis, a novel mode of cell demise, has become a focal point in cancer research. The microenvironment of gastric cancer is composed of diverse cell populations, yet the specific gene expression profiles and their association with ferroptosis are not well understood.

Currently, the study of cuproptosis focuses on the Cu-induced morphology changes in mitochondria (Mito), and the observation of the effect of endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-related Cu content on cuproptosis is relatively lacking. Herein, we have developed a hydroxyflavone (HF)-based NIR excited two-photon fluorescent probe, BHCO, that exhibits specific recognition of Cu with high resolution. BHCO-Cu (Cu2BC) can lead to DLAT protein aggregation, triggering cuproptosis.

Background: Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is the most common subtype of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and accounts for about 40% of all lung cancer cases. This research aims to investigate the effects of miR-9-3p on ferroptosis in LUAD cells and to elucidate its regulatory mechanisms. Studies have shown that LUAD is related to ferroptosis, and specific microRNAs (miRNA) are also related to ferroptosis.

Objectives: This study investigated the role and mechanism of 24-dehydrocholesterol reductase (DHCR24) in DDP resistance in NSCLC cells.
