This article analyzed the specific path of iron overload affecting EMT "blood countercurrent cell survival/adhesion/invasion/angiogenesis ectopic lesions" from the three aspects of mediating NF-κB and inflammatory reaction, stimulation of abnormal activation of macrophages, and induction of oxidative stress injury; introduced the theoretical connotation of the pathogenesis of "cold coagulation and blood stasis", and briefly described the progress of the pathogenesis of EMT from the perspective of "blood out of menstruation - injury caused by cold pathogenic factors - cold coagulation and blood stasis - long-term accumulation syndrome"; based on the mutual confirmation of "menstruation countercurrent - iron overload microenvironment - cell survival/adhesion/invasion/angiogenesis - ectopic focus" and "blood out of menstruation - cold pathogen injury - cold coagulation and blood stasis - chronic accumulation syndrome", it was believed that starting from iron overload could tap the scientific connotation and microscopic materials of the pathogenesis of "cold coagulation and blood stasis" in EMT, so as to provide new directions and theoretical references for the research of the pathogenesis of EMT and the mechanism of drugs.
