Abstract
Ferroptosis is a newly recognized type of regulated cell death that is characterized by the accumulation of iron and lipid peroxides in cells. Studies have shown that ferroptosis plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of various diseases, including cardiovascular diseases. In cardiovascular disease, ferroptosis is associated with ischemia-reperfusion injury, myocardial infarction, heart failure, and atherosclerosis. The molecular mechanisms underlying ferroptosis include the iron-dependent accumulation of lipid peroxidation products, glutathione depletion, and dysregulation of lipid metabolism, among others. This review aims to summarize the current knowledge of the molecular mechanisms of ferroptosis in cardiovascular disease and discuss the potential therapeutic strategies targeting ferroptosis as a treatment for cardiovascular disease.
期刊介绍:
Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry: An International Journal for Chemical Biology in Health and Disease publishes original research papers and short communications in all areas of the biochemical sciences, emphasizing novel findings relevant to the biochemical basis of cellular function and disease processes, as well as the mechanics of action of hormones and chemical agents. Coverage includes membrane transport, receptor mechanism, immune response, secretory processes, and cytoskeletal function, as well as biochemical structure-function relationships in the cell.
In addition to the reports of original research, the journal publishes state of the art reviews. Specific subjects covered by Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry include cellular metabolism, cellular pathophysiology, enzymology, ion transport, lipid biochemistry, membrane biochemistry, molecular biology, nuclear structure and function, and protein chemistry.
