Abstract

Ferroptosis is a unique form of cell death driven by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation, with regulatory mechanisms involving metabolic dysregulation and imbalance in redox systems. Ferroptosis is closely related to various immune cells in the tumor immune microenvironment, including both anti-tumor and pro-tumor immune cells, and it demonstrates significant potential in tumor immunotherapy. A systematic review of the regulatory mechanisms of ferroptosis and its relationship with immune cells can provide deeper insights into its application prospects in tumor immunotherapy.

铁死亡是一种依赖铁的脂质过氧化驱动的独特细胞死亡形式,其调节机制涉及代谢紊乱和氧化还原系统的失衡。铁死亡与肿瘤免疫微环境中的多种免疫细胞(包括抗肿瘤和促肿瘤免疫细胞)密切相关,并在肿瘤免疫治疗中展现出巨大潜力。系统回顾铁死亡的调节机制及其与免疫细胞的关系,有助于深入了解其在肿瘤免疫治疗中的应用前景。.
