Abstract
Cardiovascular disease is a circulatory system disease involving the heart and blood vessels, which is one of the main causes of human health loss and even life-threatening. Ca2+ is an important signal molecule. Free calcium ions in the cytoplasm are involved in various physiological and biochemical reactions of cells. Ferroptosis is a programmed cell death driven by lipid peroxidation dependent on free ferrous ions. The essence of ferroptosis is the accumulation of lipid peroxide caused by the increase of intracellular ferrous ion content, which leads to the damage of the phospholipid membrane and eventually cell death. Studies have shown that calcium homeostasis and ferroptosis are involved in the occurrence and development of cardiovascular diseases, but the relationship between them remains to be clarified. This article reviews the various pathways regulating calcium homeostasis in cells and the occurrence and development mechanism of ferroptosis, and discusses the relationship between the two in cardiovascular diseases, which is expected to provide novel and important strategies for alleviating and treating cardiovascular diseases.
期刊介绍:
Each month, the journal publishes easy-to-assimilate, up-to-the minute reports of experimental findings by researchers using a wide range of the latest techniques. Promoting the aims of cell biologists worldwide, papers reporting on structure and function - especially where they relate to the physiology of the whole cell - are strongly encouraged. Molecular biology is welcome, as long as articles report findings that are seen in the wider context of cell biology. In covering all areas of the cell, the journal is both appealing and accessible to a broad audience. Authors whose papers do not appeal to cell biologists in general because their topic is too specialized (e.g. infectious microbes, protozoology) are recommended to send them to more relevant journals. Papers reporting whole animal studies or work more suited to a medical journal, e.g. histopathological studies or clinical immunology, are unlikely to be accepted, unless they are fully focused on some important cellular aspect.
These last remarks extend particularly to papers on cancer. Unless firmly based on some deeper cellular or molecular biological principle, papers that are highly specialized in this field, with limited appeal to cell biologists at large, should be directed towards journals devoted to cancer, there being very many from which to choose.
