Background: Asian cancer patients have become the highest morbidity and mortality group, and gastrointestinal tumors account for the majority of them, so it is urgent to find effective targets. Therefore, ferroptosis-related lncRNAs models were established to predict the prognosis and clinical immune characteristics of GI cancer.

Methods: RNA sequencing and clinical data were collected from the TCGA database (LIHC, STAD, ESCA, PAAD, COAD, CHOL, and READ) of patients with gastrointestinal cancer in Asia. Download ferrodroptosis genes from FerrDb. Through R language, differential genes were identified, prognostic related LncRNAs were screened, and risk scores were obtained by risk formula to build models. Survival analysis, risk heat map, COX regression and ROC were used to evaluate the risk model. Establish Nomogram and clinically relevant heat maps. GSEA software was used to analyze gene enrichment and immune-related characteristics in high and low risk groups. LncRNA expression was validated through paired sample differential analysis and qRT-PCR, and the drug sensitivity of genes was also analyzed.

Results: The transcriptome data of 297 cases and clinical data of 322 cases were downloaded from TCGA, and the intersection of ferroptosis-related genes were obtaine. Cox analysis revealed 48 ferroptosis-related LncRNAs associated with prognosis. Through survival analysis, risk heatmap, COX regression and ROC, it was found that the risk model was highly accurate and efficient in predicting prognosis. KEGG-related GSEA enrichment analysis showed that 12 related pathways were significantly expressed in the low-risk group. Four immune-related functions were significantly higher in the high-risk group than in the low-risk group, and the expression of all immune checkpoints were significantly higher in the high-risk group than in the low-risk group. The three LncRNAs in the model exhibited varying expression levels across different tumors and obtained drug sensitivity data.

Conclusions: Our results reveal innovative and strong evidence that ferroptosis-related lncRNAs can be used as biomarkers for the treatment and prognosis of Asian GI cancer.

Construction of a novel gene signature linked to ferroptosis in pediatric sepsis.

Front Cell Dev Biol

February 2025

Department of Emergency, The Second Affiliated Hospital, Guangzhou Medical University, Guangzhou, Guangdong, China.

Introduction: Pediatric sepsis is a complex and life-threatening condition characterized by organ failure due to an uncontrolled immune response to infection. Recent studies suggest that ferroptosis, a newly identified form of programmed cell death, may play a role in sepsis progression. However, the specific mechanisms of ferroptosis in pediatric sepsis remain unclear.

Department of Pediatric, The Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University, Qingdao, Shandong Province 266003, China; Animal Experiment Center, Central Laboratory, The Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University, Qingdao, Shandong Province 266003, China. Electronic address:

Newborn hypoxic-ischemic brain damage (HIBD) is a major cause of mortality and neurological disabilities. Ferroptosis, characterized by lipid peroxidation, is implicated in HIBD pathogenesis. The role of lncRNA TCONS_00067339 in ferroptosis regulation in HIBD is understudied.

Identification of biomarkers and mechanism exploration of ferroptosis related genes regulated by m6A in type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Hereditas

February 2025

Department of Neurology, Renmin Hospital, Hubei University of Medicine, Maojian District, No. 39, Chaoyang Middle Road, Shiyan, Hubei, 442000, People's Republic of China.

Purpose: This study is aims to explore the role of ferroptosis genes regulated by N6-methyladenosine (m6A) in Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Material And Methods: Firstly, differentially expressed m6A-FRGs (DEm6A-FRGs) were obtained by intersecting the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and the m6A-related ferroptosis genes (m6A-FRGs). After enrichment analysis of DEm6A-FRGs, artificial neural network (ANN) and nomogram models were constructed using 4 biomarkers.
