    LISHA MA1,#, WANQI SHAO1,#, WEILI ZHU2,*

    BIOCELL, Vol.48, No.3, pp. 379-386, 2024, DOI:10.32604/biocell.2024.047812

    Abstract The morbidity rate of ovarian cancer, a malignant tumour in gynaecological tumours, is rising, and it is considered to be the most lethal cancer. The majority of patients are typically diagnosed during the advanced stages of the illness due to the elusive characteristics of ovarian cancer and an absence of highly sensitive and specific diagnostic indicators. Surgical excision of the lesions, along with chemotherapy, is the conventional treatment for ovarian cancer; however, resistance to platinum-based chemotherapeutic drugs and molecular targeted therapies frequently arises. Improving the survival rate and prognosis of patients with end-stage or recurring ovarian cancer requires the identification… More >

    Gastric cancer secreted miR-214-3p inhibits the anti-angiogenesis effect of apatinib by suppressing ferroptosis in vascular endothelial cells

    WEIXUE WANG#, TONGTONG WANG#, YAN ZHANG, TING DENG, HAIYANG ZHANG*, YI BA*

    Oncology Research, Vol.32, No.3, pp. 489-502, 2024, DOI:10.32604/or.2023.046676

    Abstract Different from necrosis, apoptosis, autophagy and other forms of cell death, ferroptosis is a mechanism that catalyzes lipid peroxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids under the action of iron divalent or lipoxygenase, leading to cell death. Apatinib is currently used in the third-line standard treatment of advanced gastric cancer, targeting the anti-angiogenesis pathway. However, Apatinib-mediated ferroptosis in vascular endothelial cells has not been reported yet. Tumor-secreted exosomes can be taken up into target cells to regulate tumor development, but the mechanism related to vascular endothelial cell ferroptosis has not yet been discovered. Here, we show that exosomes secreted by gastric cancer… More >

    LncRNA CACNA1G-AS1 up-regulates FTH1 to inhibit ferroptosis and promote malignant phenotypes in ovarian cancer cells

    YANPING JIN1, JIANPING QIU1, XIUFANG LU1, YAN MA1, GUOWEI LI2,*

    Oncology Research, Vol.31, No.2, pp. 169-179, 2023, DOI:10.32604/or.2023.027815

    Abstract Previous study revealed that ferritin heavy chain-1 (FTH1) could regulate ferritinophagy and affect intracellular Fe2+ content in various tumors, while its N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA methylation was closely related the prognosis of ovarian cancer patients. However, little is known about the role of FTH1 m6A methylation in ovarian cancer (OC) and its possible action mechanisms. In this study we constructed FTH1 m6A methylation regulatory pathway (LncRNA CACNA1G-AS1/IGF2BP1) according to related bioinformatics analysis and research, through clinical sample detections we found that these pathway regulatory factors were significantly up-regulated in ovarian cancer tissues, and their expression levels were closely related to the… More >

    HAN WANG1,2,#, YANG SUN1,2,#, XIAOXU ZHANG2,3, XIAOYING WANG4, YUJUN XIA1,*, LISHENG WANG1,2,*

    BIOCELL, Vol.47, No.5, pp. 1107-1115, 2023, DOI:10.32604/biocell.2023.027131

    Abstract Background: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal tract. The destruction of the intestinal epithelial barrier is one of the major pathological processes in IBD pathology. Growing evidence indicated that epithelial cell ferroptosis is linked to IBD and is considered a target process. Methods: RAS-selective lethal 3 (RSL3) was used to induce ferroptosis in intestinal epithelial cell line No. 6 (IEC-6) cells, and cell ferroptosis and the effects of tanshinone IIA (Tan IIA) were determined by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8), reactive oxygen species (ROS) staining, Giemsa staining and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The cell viability… More >

    Fe-dependent cellular alterations of oxidative balance in aquatic organisms. Could be ferroptosis involved?

    PAULA MARIELA GONZÁLEZ1,2, JOAQUIN CABRERA1,2, SUSANA PUNTARULO1,2,*

    BIOCELL, Vol.47, No.5, pp. 1177-1189, 2023, DOI:10.32604/biocell.2023.027107

    Abstract

    The purpose of this review is to briefly summarize the central role of iron (Fe) in terms of cellular alterations of the oxidative/protective balance with special emphasis on its possible involvement in ferroptosis-dependent disruption in aquatic organisms. In ferroptotic cells or tissues, the intracellular Fe level increases; meanwhile the treatment with Fe chelators limits ferroptosis. Eukaryotic algae can assimilate Fe from the environment through several mechanisms, and aquatic animals incorporate dissolved Fe and Fe bound to both inorganic particles and organic matter. The central role of lipid peroxidation mediating ferroptosis was demonstrated in some algae where both low and high… More >

    Comprehensive Analysis of the Expression and Clinical Significance of a Ferroptosis-Related Genome in Ovarian Serous Cystadenocarcinoma: A Study Based on TCGA Data

    Hua Yang*

    Oncologie, Vol.24, No.4, pp. 835-863, 2022, DOI:10.32604/oncologie.2022.026447

    Abstract Background: Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the deadliest malignancy among the gynecologic tumors, and ovarian serous cystadenocarcinoma (OV) is the dominant histological type. Ferroptosis is a novel iron-dependent, programmed form of cell death, and agents that trigger ferroptosis may constitute potential anti-cancer therapies. Materials and Methods: We herein extracted the genes that participate in the process of ferroptosis from the online FerrDb database to create a ferroptosis-related genome (FRG), and then comprehensively analyzed the relationship between the mRNA expression of each gene and the clinicopathologic features of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA)-OV cohort. Results: We found that most of the… More >

    Ferroptosis’s Role in Genitourinary System Cancer

    Chaoying Liu1,#, Xinfeng Yang2,#, Ye Wang2,#, Keyu Wu2, Siqiang Li2, Gailing Wang2, Yun Li2, Chuanfeng Li2, Mingcheng Wang2, Enzhong Li2,*

    Oncologie, Vol.24, No.4, pp. 679-691, 2022, DOI:10.32604/oncologie.2022.025705

    Abstract A cell is the basic unit of life, and death is inevitable for any cell. However, cancer cells that deviate from the normal track can resist death and survive. Ferroptosis is recently discovered as a modulated cell death different from other known forms of cell death in morphology, biochemistry, and genetics. It is characterized by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation regulated by various metabolic pathways. The incidence and mortality of genitourinary system cancer have been increasing recently. Although clinical practice therapy techniques have improved, no plan with a positive prognosis has been identified. For the therapy of cancer, ferroptosis opens up new… More >

    LONG SU#, ZHEXUAN LIN#, HUI LI, HONGJUN LUO, WENHONG LUO*

    BIOCELL, Vol.46, No.7, pp. 1725-1732, 2022, DOI:10.32604/biocell.2022.018508

    Abstract Divicine is an active pyrimidine aglycone, generated from vicine by the enzyme β-glucosidase upon ingestion of fava beans. In this study, we investigated the effect of divicine on cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and explored the potential mechanisms. Incubation HUVECs with 18.5–85.1 μM divicine resulted in a concentration and time dependent decrease of cell viability, followed by decrease of cellular reduced glutathione, as well as increase of reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde (MDA), and labile iron pool. Transmission electron microscopy confirmed that the divicine treated HUVECs’ mitochondria had shrunk. Importantly, the administration of desferrioxamine, an iron chelator, to… More >

    Ferroptosis molecular inducers: A future direction for malignant tumor chemotherapy

    ZIQIAN WANG1,2,#, YAQI LI1,2,#, DONGYANG WANG1,2, YINGQIANG SHEN1,3,4,5,*

    BIOCELL, Vol.46, No.7, pp. 1599-1611, 2022, DOI:10.32604/biocell.2022.018530

    Abstract Iron-dependent ferroptosis is a form of cell death dependent on iron levels. Cells that undergo ferroptosis have glutathione (GSH) deficiency, reduced Glutathione peroxidase-4 (GPX4) activity and intracellular lipid peroxidation, Mitochondria, lysosomes and many signal pathways are involved in the regulation of ferroptosis. More importantly, many tumor cells resistant to other cell death methods exhibit sensitivity to ferroptosis. Moreover, over recent years, a number of ferroptosis-induced drugs have been recommended for the treatment of malignant tumors. Therefore, the study of ferroptosis is of great significance for future cancer treatments. In this review, we discussed the metabolic process of ferroptosis, the role… More >

    Upregulation of miR-143-3p attenuates oxidative stress-mediated cell ferroptosis in cardiomyocytes with atrial fibrillation by degrading glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase 1

    YUAN SONG1,#, CAI WEI2,#, JINGJING WANG3,*

    BIOCELL, Vol.45, No.3, pp. 733-744, 2021, DOI:10.32604/biocell.2021.013236

    Abstract Oxidative stress-mediated cell death in cardiomyocytes contributes to the development of atrial fibrillation. However, the detailed mechanisms are still unclear. In the present study, we established atrial fibrillation models in mice. The cardiomyocytes were isolated from atrial fibrillation mice and normal mice and were cultured in vitro, respectively. The results showed that cell proliferation and viability in cardiomyocytes with atrial fibrillation were significantly lower than the cells from the normal mice. Consistently, atrial fibrillation cardiomyocytes were prone to suffer from apoptotic cell death. Also, the oxidative stress and ferroptosis-associated signatures were significantly increased in atrial fibrillation cardiomyocytes compared to normal… More >
