MiRNA Regulates Ferroptosis in Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Diseases.

Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases (CCVDs) significantly contribute to global mortality and morbidity due to their complex pathogenesis involving multiple biological processes. Ferroptosis is an important physiological process in CCVDs, manifested by an abnormal increase in intracellular iron concentration. MiRNAs, a key class of noncoding RNA molecules, are crucial in regulating CCVDs through pathways like glutathione-glutathione peroxidase 4, glutamate/cystine transport, iron metabolism, lipid metabolism, and other oxidative stress pathways. This article summarizes the progress of miRNAs' regulation on CCVDs, aiming to provide insights for the diagnosis and treatment of CCVDs.
