Abstract
AbstractFerroptosis is triggered by intracellular iron leading to accumulation of lipid peroxidation consequent promotion of cell death. Cancer cell exhibits ability to evade ferroptosis by activation of antioxidant signaling pathways such as SLC7A11/GPX4 axis. In addition to transcriptional regulation on ferroptosis by NRF2, SREBP1, YAP, and p53, ferroptosis is modulated by ubiquitination or autophagic degradation. Moreover, zinc or Ca2+ could modulate ferroptosis by inducing lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis. Induction of ferroptosis enhances immune cell activity such as T cells or macrophages, which is associated with the release of DAMPs (damage-associated molecular patterns) and IFNγ. Therefore, combined immune checkpoint inhibitors with ferroptosis inducers effectively enhance antitumor immunotherapy, whereas induction of ferroptosis could impair T cell activity or survival, suggesting that rational combined therapy for cancer is essential. In this review, we discussed the regulatory role of ferroptosis on tumor progression and immunotherapy.
