Ferroptosis is a form of cell death in response to metal pollutant exposure and it is closely related to oxidative stress, iron metabolism and lipid peroxidation. Recent studies have revealed that ferroptosis plays a significant role in the neurotoxicity induced by metals such as lead, cadmium, manganese, nickel, and antimony. Lead exposure triggers ferroptosis through oxidative stress, iron metabolism disorder and inflammation. Cadmium can induce ferroptosis through iron metabolism, oxidative stress and ferroptosis related signaling pathways. Manganese can promote ferroptosis through mitochondrial dysfunction, iron metabolism disorder and oxidative stress. Nickel can promote ferroptosis by influencing mitochondrial function, disrupting iron homeostasis and facilitating lipid peroxidation in the central nervous system. Antimony exposure can induce glutathione depletion by activating iron autophagy, resulting in excessive intracellular iron deposition and ultimately causing ferroptosis.

Ferroptosis plays a crucial role in various pathological processes. Studies have shown that the occurrence of ferroptosis is closely associated with the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Ferroptosis is involved in regulating the lipid metabolism, iron homeostasis, mitochondrial metabolism, and redox processes in HCC. Additionally, ferroptosis plays a key role in HCC tumor immunity by modulating the phenotype and function of various immune cells in the tumor microenvironment, affecting tumor immune escape and progression. Ferroptosis-induced lipid peroxidation and oxidative stress can promote the polarization of M1 macrophages and enhance the pro-inflammatory response in tumors, inhibiting immune suppressive cells such as myeloid-derived suppressor cells and regulatory T cells to disrupt their immune suppression function. The regulation of expression of ferroptosis-related molecules such as GPX4 and SLC7A11 not only affects the sensitivity of tumor cells to immunotherapy but also directly influences the activity and survival of effector cells such as T cells and dendritic cells, further enhancing or weakening host antitumor immune response. Targeting ferroptosis has demonstrated significant clinical potential in HCC treatment. Induction of ferroptosis by nanomedicines and molecular targeting strategies can directly kill tumor cells or enhance antitumor immune responses. The integration of multimodal therapies with immunotherapy further expands the application of ferroptosis targeting as a cancer therapy.

The protein and mRNA expressions of Nupr1 were detected by Western blotting and quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR).
