Abstract

Ferroptosis is a newly discovered type of regulated cell death participated in multiple diseases. Different from other classical cell death programs such as necrosis and apoptosis, ferroptosis involving iron-catalyzed lipid peroxidation is characterized by Fe2+ accumulation and mitochondria alterations. The phenomenon of oxidative stress following organ ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) has recently garnered attention for its connection to the onset of ferroptosis and subsequent reperfusion injuries. This article provides a comprehensive overview underlying the mechanisms of ferroptosis, with a further focus on the latest research progress regarding interference with ferroptotic pathways in organ I/R injuries, such as intestine, lung, heart, kidney, liver, and brain. Understanding the links between ferroptosis and I/R injury may inform potential therapeutic strategies and targeted agents.
