Intricating connections: the role of ferroptosis in systemic lupus erythematosus by Guowang Zhao, Xinghai Li, Ying Zhang, Ying Zhang, Xingzi Wang, Li Deng, Juan Xu, Shumei Jin, Zan Zuo, Zan Zuo, Linting Xun, Linting Xun, Mei Luo, Mei Luo, Fan Yang, Jialong Qi, Jialong Qi, Jialong Qi, Jialong Qi, Ping Fu

“…Although ferroptosis, an iron-dependent form of cell death, has numerous pathophysiological features similar to those of SLE, such as intracellular iron accumulation, mitochondrial dysfunction, lipid metabolism disorders and concentration of damage associated-molecular patterns (DAMPs), only a few reports have demonstrated that ferroptosis is involved in SLE progression and that the role of ferroptosis in SLE pathogenesis continues to be neglected. Therefore, this review elucidates the potential intricate relationship between SLE and ferroptosis to provide a reliable theoretical basis for further research on ferroptosis in the pathogenesis of SLE.…”
