Abstract:
Ferroptosis is a new type of cell death caused by abnormal accumulation of iron-dependent reactive oxygen species （ROS） and imbalance of redox with the participation of iron ions. In recent years， studies have found that ferroptosis is associated with various diseases and can especially regulate the development of tumors. Chinese medicine has unique advantages in tumor prevention and treatment. How to use ferroptosis theory to guide the prevention and treatment of cancer and other tumor diseases by Chinese medicine is a new research hotspot. This paper summarizes the proposal， action mechanism， and signaling pathway of ferroptosis， its application in tumor therapy， and the research on the activity of Chinese medicine based on ferroptosis. Results found that the occurrence of ferroptosis is related to iron metabolism， lipid ROS metabolism， and other signaling pathways and gene expressions. Ferroptosis can regulate tumor initiation and development， treatment， and tumor immunity， which provides strategies for tumor treatment and anti-tumor drug development. By analyzing the biological activity of Chinese medicine against ferroptosis， we found that Chinese medicines （Scutellariae Radix， Puerariae Lobatae Radix， Astragali Radix， Ginkgo， Epimedii Folium， Artemisiae Annuae Herba， and Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma）， Chinese herbal compounds （ Naotaifang， Si Junzitang， and Shenmai injection）， and Chinese medicine effective components （baicalein， dihydroartemisinin， puerarin， piperlongumine， luteolin， and quercetin） can exert antitumor and other biological activities by regulating ferroptosis. Therefore， Chinese medicine has great potential in preventing and controlling tumors and other diseases by regulating ferroptosis. This paper provides theoretical basis and research ideas for the in-depth study of ferroptosis theory and guides the prevention and treatment of tumor diseases by Chinese medicine.
