Nuclear receptor co-activator 4 (NCOA4) acts as a selective cargo receptor that binds to ferritin, a cytoplasmic iron storage complex. By mediating ferritinophagy, NCOA4 regulates iron metabolism and releases free iron in the body, thus playing a crucial role in a variety of biological processes, including growth, development, and metabolism. Recent studies have shown that NCOA4-mediated ferritinophagy is closely associated with the occurrence and development of iron metabolism-related diseases, such as liver fibrosis, renal cell carcinoma, and neurodegenerative diseases. In addition, a number of clinical drugs have been identified to modulate NCOA4-mediated ferritinophagy, significantly affecting disease progression and treatment efficacy. This paper aims to review the current research progress on the role of NCOA4-mediated ferritinophagy in related diseases, in order to provide new ideas for targeted clinical therapy.

Cisplatin can cause irreversible hearing loss. However, effective approaches to its prevention are not established. In this study, the effect of the traditional Chinese medicine monomer pinoresinol diglucoside (PDG) is evaluated on cisplatin-induced ototoxicity and its underlying mechanism of action.

Ferritin degradation pathways, particularly NCOA4-mediated ferritinophagy, are crucial for maintaining iron homeostasis. Here, we demonstrate the coexistence of two NCOA4 isoforms, one iron-sulfur cluster-free and one iron-sulfur cluster-bound, in oxygenated cell cultures. Using a combination of spectroscopic and analytical techniques, in vitro characterization of the NCOA4 fragment (383-522), denoted NCOA4-D, revealed a predominance of monomeric species with a relatively stable [2Fe-2S] cluster under normoxic conditions.

Ferritinophagy is a specific type of autophagy that maintains intracellular iron metabolic homeostasis by targeting ferritin, one of the major forms of iron storage in the human body. Previous research has demonstrated that quercetin prevents the ferroptosis of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) by inhibiting the Id2/transferrin pathway. Given the ability of quercetin to suppress autophagy in spinal cord injury (SCI), this study aimed to investigate whether quercetin prevents ferroptosis in an autophagy-dependent manner.
