Ferroptosis as a new tool for tumor suppression through lipid peroxidation

Abstract As a newly defined type of programmed cell death, ferroptosis is considered a potent weapon against tumors due to its distinct mechanism from other types of programmed cell death. Ferroptosis is triggered by the uncontrolled accumulation of hydroperoxyl polyunsaturated fatty acid-containing...

description Abstract As a newly defined type of programmed cell death, ferroptosis is considered a potent weapon against tumors due to its distinct mechanism from other types of programmed cell death. Ferroptosis is triggered by the uncontrolled accumulation of hydroperoxyl polyunsaturated fatty acid-containing phospholipids, also called lipid peroxidation. The lipid peroxidation, generated through enzymatic and non-enzymatic mechanisms, drives changes in cell morphology and the destruction of membrane integrity. Here, we dissect the mechanisms of ferroptosis induced enzymatically or non-enzymatically, summarize the major metabolism pathways in modulating lipid peroxidation, and provide insights into the relationship between ferroptosis and tumor suppression. In this review, we discuss the recent advances of ferroptosis in tumor microenvironments and the prospect of potential therapeutic application.
