Ferroptosis in Lung Cancer: From Molecular Mechanisms to Prognostic and Therapeutic Opportunities

Lung cancer is the second commonly diagnosed malignancy worldwide and has the highest mortality rate among all cancers. Tremendous efforts have been made to develop novel strategies against lung cancer; however, the overall survival of patients still is low. Uncovering underlying molecular mechanism...

description Lung cancer is the second commonly diagnosed malignancy worldwide and has the highest mortality rate among all cancers. Tremendous efforts have been made to develop novel strategies against lung cancer; however, the overall survival of patients still is low. Uncovering underlying molecular mechanisms of this disease can open up new horizons for its treatment. Ferroptosis is a newly discovered type of programmed cell death that, in an iron-dependent manner, peroxidizes unsaturated phospholipids and results in the accumulation of radical oxygen species. Subsequent oxidative damage caused by ferroptosis contributes to cell death in tumor cells. Therefore, understanding its molecular mechanisms in lung cancer appears as a promising strategy to induce ferroptosis selectively. According to evidence published up to now, significant numbers of research have been done to identify ferroptosis regulators in lung cancer. Therefore, this review aims to provide a comprehensive standpoint of molecular mechanisms of ferroptosis in lung cancer and address these molecules’ prognostic and therapeutic values, hoping that the road for future studies in this field will be paved more efficiently.
