MIRI

ncRNA

NAMPT/Sirt1/FOX1/FTH1

CircRNA FEACR alleviates MIRI through inhibiting ferroptosis by interacting with NAMPT, which increased NAMPT-dependent Sirtuin1 (Sirt1) expression, thereby promoting the transcriptional activity of FOXO1 by reducing FOXO1 acetylation levels, eventually upregulating the transcription of FTH1.

MIRI

ncRNA

SLC7A11

Upregulated LncRNA SEMA5A-IT1 inhibits cardiomyocytes against hypoxia/reoxygenation injury partly through inhibiting ferroptosis via upregulating SLC7A11 by sponging miR-143-3p.

ncRNA

GPX4

MiR-199a-5p promotes cardiomyocyte death in OGD/R-treated H9c2 cells through inducing ferroptosis via downregulation of GPX4 by inhibiting Akt/eNOS signaling pathway.

MIRI

Ubiquitination

Frataxin

Upregulated frataxin alleviates cardiomyocyte ferroptosis through upregulating FTH and downregulating TfR1. NHLRC1 mediates frataxin ubiquitination degradation.

MIRI

Ubiquitination

p53/TfR1

USP7 promotes MIRI through inducing ferroptosis via activation of the p53/TfR1 pathway.

SIRT1/p53/SLC7A11

USP22 alleviates MIRI through inhibiting ferroptosis via the SIRT1-p53/SLC7A11.

Myocardial infarction

Phosphorylation

AKT/HIP-55

Upregulated HIP-55 alleviates cardiomyocyte ferroptosis and MI injury.HIP-55 was identified as a new AKT substrate. AKT phosphorylates HIP-55 at S269/T291 sites and further HIP-55 directs AKT signaling to negatively regulate the MAP4K1 pathway against MI injury in a site-specific manner. S269A/T291A-mutated HIP-55 (HIP-55AA), which is defective in AKT phosphorylation and significantly decreases the interaction between HIP-55 and MAP4K1, failed to inhibit the MAP4K1/GPX4 ferroptosis.

m6A

TFRC

METTL14 promotes ferroptosis in doxorubicin-induced cardiomyocyte through stabilizing KCNQ1OT1 in a IGF2BP1 m6A manner to sponge miR-7-5p, thereby increasing levels of transferrin receptor.

Nrf2/GPX4

Upregulated PRMT4 aggravate DIC through promoting ferroptosis via interacting with Nrf2 to promote its enzymatic methylation, thereby suppressing GPX4.

Cardiac Fibrosis

Acetylation

p53

Knockout of SIRT3 results in increased p53 acetylation and ferroptosis through downregulating GPX4 in the mouse hearts. SIRT3-mediated cardiac fibrosis was partly through a mechanism involving p53 acetylation-induced ferroptosis in myofibroblasts.

Downregulated PGAM5 promotes ferroptosis in models of heart failure through decreasing Keap1 protein ubiquitination, thereby reducing activation of Nrf2.
