In addition, it has been proven that the two pathways mentioned above act in parallel with each other. CircGFRA1 facilitates the malignant progression of HER-2-positive breast cancer via acting as a sponge of miR-1228 and enhancing AIFM2 expression 2021 34668628 circDTL - circRNA cytoplasm/Nuclear H.sapiens Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer lung epithelial cell line BEAS-2B and human NSCLC cell lines CCK-8 assay erastin miR-1287-5p/GPX4 lipid ROS silencing of circDTL induced ferroptosis This study found that circDTL was upregulated and acted as an oncogene during the progression of NSCLC. Interestingly, silencing of circDTL induced ferroptosis of NSCLC cells and further investigation showed that circDTL regulated ferroptosis via the miR-1287-5p/GPX4 axis.

Knockdown of circRHBG inhibits KGN and SVOG cell proliferation. Luciferase reporter assays and Ago2-RIP detection showed that circRHBG competes with SLC7A11 to bind to miR-515-5p. Subsequent experiments verified knockdown of circRHBG promotes ferroptosis in PCOS.

The functions of circKIF4A were explored by CCK-8, transwell, and mouse xenograft experiments. Knockdown of circKIF4A could suppress papillary thyroid cell growth and migration. In addition, RIP assays and dual luciferase vector reporter assays were further conducted. Our consequence showed circKIF4A facilitated the malignant progress of papillary thyroid tumor by sponging miR-1231 and upregulating GPX4 expression. In conclusion, our study proved that circKIF4A-miR-1231-GPX4 axis played a vital role in cancer proliferation and ferroptosis by competing endogenous RNAs. Circular RNA circKIF4A facilitates the malignant progression and suppresses ferroptosis by sponging miR-1231 and upregulating GPX4 in papillary thyroid cancer 2021 34153004 circ0097009 - circRNA - H.sapiens Hepatocellular Cancer LO2 and HCC cell lines HepG2, BEL-7402, and MHCC-97H Glutathione - miR-1261/SLC7A11 GPX4 knockdown of circ0097009 promotes ferroptosis Microarray analysis and qRT-PCR verified that circRNA, circ0097009, was significantly upregulated in HCC tissues and cell lines. Knockdown of circ0097009 inhibited the proliferation and invasion of HCC cells. Luciferase reporter assays showed that circ0097009 and SLC7A11 directly bound to miR-1261. Subsequent experiments showed that circ0097009 and SLC7A11 reciprocally regulated their expression via miR-1261 sponging by circ0097009. Ferroptosis is involved in the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma through the circ0097009/miR-1261/SLC7A11 axis 2021 33987373 circSnx12 - circRNA - mice Heart Failure Cardiac tissues - - miR-224-5p FTH1 circSnx12 Is Involved in Ferroptosis we assessed the binding relationship between the ferroptosis-associated gene FTH1 and its target miR-224-5p. The results of luciferase reporter assay showed that miR-224-5p mimics could reduce the luciferase activity of FTH1 3'-UTR, but did not significantly affected that of FTH1 3'-UTR mutant. These findings imply that FTH1 is a direct target of miR-224-5p. Additionally, we demonstrated the regulatory relationship between miR-224-5p and circSnx12. circSnx12 Is Involved in Ferroptosis During Heart Failure by Targeting miR-224-5p 2021 33969020 circ_0007142 - circRNA cytoplasm H.sapiens Colorectal Cancer Cells HCT116, SW620 and SW480 CCK-8 assay - miR-874-3p/GDPD5 - Low circ_0007142 expression accelerate of apoptosis circ_0007142 was found as a miR-874-3p sponge and miR-874-3p inhibitor eliminated the regulation of si-circ_0007142 in CRC cells.

The circRHOT1 knockdown notably increased the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), iron, and Fe2+ in breast cancer cells. Mechanically, circRHOT1 was able to sponge microRNA-106a-5p (miR-106a-5p) and inhibited ferroptosis by down-regulating miR-106a-5p in breast cancer cells. Besides, miR-106a-5p induced ferroptosis by targeting signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) in the system. Moreover, the overexpression of STAT3 and miR-106a-5p inhibitor could reverse circRHOT1 knockdown-mediated breast cancer progression.

We first discovered the impact of circRNA on cell ferroptosis in cervical cancer. Interestingly, circEPSTI1 attenuates the effect of ferritin which is mediated by SLC7A11 based on lipid peroxidation measurements and reduced glutathione and glutathione (GSH/GSSG) assay. Circular RNA circEPSTI1 accelerates cervical cancer progression via miR-375/409-3P/515-5p-SLC7A11 axis 2021 33534779 circIL4R - circRNA - H.sapiens Hepatocellular Carcinoma THLE-2 and HuH-7 MTT assays erastin miR-541-3p/GPX4 ROS CircIL4R knockdown impeded oncogenesis and expedited ferroptosis CircIL4R was abnormally overexpressed in HCC tissues and cells. CircIL4R knockdown impeded oncogenesis and expedited ferroptosis of HCC cells. CircIL4R could directly sponge microRNA-541-3p (miR-541-3p) and miR-541-3p inhibition mitigated the effects of circIL4R knockdown on HCC cells. CircIL4R acted as a miR-541-3p sponge to regulate its target glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4). GPX4 upregulation relieved the miR-541-3p-induced tumor inhibition and ferroptosis aggravation. CircIL4R played an oncogenic role in HCC via the miR-541-3p/GPX4 axis in vivo. CircIL4R facilitates the tumorigenesis and inhibits ferroptosis in hepatocellular carcinoma by regulating the miR-541-3p/GPX4 axis 2020 32808701 cIARS hsa_circ_0008367 circRNA - H.sapiens Hepatocellular Carcinoma HepG2, SMMC-7721, and Huh7 CCK-8 assay SF or Erastin ALKBH5 GSH cIARS to be a positive regulator of ferroptosis Prediction analysis and mechanistic identification revealed that cIARS physically interacted with RNA binding protein (RBP) ALKBH5, which was a negative regulator of autophagic flux in HCC. The dissociation of BCL-2/BECN1 complex, mediated by ALKBH5 silencing was effectively blocked by si-cIARS. Furthermore, the inhibition of ferroptotic events, autophagic flux and ferritinophagy resulted from si-cIARS, were significantly rescued by ALKBH5 downregulation.

CircTTBK2 was a sponge of miR-761 to modulate ITGB8. Additionally, circ-TTBK2 knockdown or miR-761 increase could retard cell proliferation, invasion, and promote ferroptosis in glioma cells. Interestingly, miR-761 inhibitor could abolish the repressive impact of circ-TTBK2 silencing on cell growth in vitro. Also, the influence of miR-761 mimic on cell phenotypes was regained after ITGB8 upregulation. Meanwhile, circ-TTBK2 deficiency caused the decrease of tumor growth. Circ-TTBK2 regulated cell proliferation, invasion and ferroptosis via targeting ITGB8 by sponging miR-761 in glioma, providing a promising biomarker for the clinical therapy of human glioma. 2020 32196629 RP11-89 ENSG00000259439 lncRNA - H.sapiens Bladder Cancer 5637 Cell and T24 Cell CCK-8 assay, flow cytometry, Transwell assays, scratch tests and subcutaneous nude mouse models - TMEM161B-AS1-hsa-miR-27a-3p-FANCD2/CD44 iron export positive We demonstrated that RP11-89 is a novel tumorigenic regulator that inhibits ferroptosis via PROM2-activated iron export.

ZFAS1 sponges miR-150-5p to downregulate CCND2 expression. Inhibition of the long non-coding RNA ZFAS1 attenuates ferroptosis by sponging miR-150-5p and activates CCND2 against diabetic cardiomyopathy 2021 34609043 Meg3 ENSMUSG00000021268 lncRNA - Rat Diabetic Brain Ischemic Injury microvascular endothelial cells Cell transfection,RT-PCR,Iron concentration assay,lipid ROS assay, - p53/GPX4 GPX4 positive Altogether, these data revealed that, by modulating GPX4 transcription and expression, the Meg3-p53 signaling pathway mediated the ferroptosis of RBMVECs upon injury induced by OGD combined with hyperglycemic reperfusion.

Depletion of lncPVT1 accelerated the ferroptosis of live cancer cells, whereas miR-214-3p inhibition and GPX4 overexpression reversed this effect. Ketamine-induced cell growth suppression and ferroptosis were also suppressed by miR-214-3p inhibition and GPX4 overexpression. Ketamine Induces Ferroptosis of Liver Cancer Cells by Targeting lncRNA PVT1/miR-214-3p/GPX4 2021 34566408 H19 ENSG00000130600 lncRNA cytoplasm H.sapiens Intracerebral Hemorrhage Brain microvascular endothelial cells CCK-8 assay erastin miR-106b-5p GSH Knockdown of H19 promoted cell proliferation and suppressed BMVECs ferroptosis Over-expression of H19 suppressed cell viability and promoted ferroptosis of BMVECs. miR-106b-5p is predicted to be a target of H19. The expression of miR-106b-5p was lower in oxygen and glucose deprivation hemin-treated (OGD/H-treated) cells. Over-expression of miR-106b-5p reversed the effects of H19 on cell viability and ferroptosis in BMVECs. Furthermore, acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4 (ACSL4) was verified to be a target gene of miR-106b-5p and was highly expressed in OGD/H-treated cells. Upregulation of ACSL4 inhibited the effects of miR-106b-5p and induced BMVEC dysfunction. Long non-coding RNA H19 protects against intracerebral hemorrhage injuries via regulating microRNA-106b-5p/acyl-CoA synthetase long chain family member 4 axis 2021 34288826 OIP5-AS1 ENSG00000247556 lncRNA - H.sapiens Prostate Cancer PC3 and DU145 MTT assay Erastin and ferrostatin-1 miR-128-3p/SLC7A11 GSH OIP5-AS1 promotes PCa progression and ferroptosis resistance We found that lncRNA OIP5-AS1 expression was greatly elevated in PC3 and DU145 cells upon chronic Cd exposure. Dysregulation of OIP5-AS1 expression mediated cell growth and Cd-induced ferroptosis. Mechanistically, we demonstrated that OIP5-AS1 served as an endogenous sponge of miR-128-3p to regulate the expression of SLC7A11, a surrogate marker of ferroptosis. Moreover, miR-128-3p decreased cell viability by enhancing ferroptosis. LncRNA OIP5-AS1 inhibits ferroptosis in prostate cancer with long-term cadmium exposure through miR-128-3p/SLC7A11 signaling 2021 34051661 HOTAIR ENSG00000228630 lncRNA cytoplasm mice Intracerebral Haemorrhage HT22 MTT Assay - UPF1/ACSL4 ROS HOTAIR overexpression reversed paeonol-induced inhibition of ferroptosis Moreover, paeonol notably inhibited ferroptosis in hemin-treated neuronal cells via inhibition of ACSL4. Additionally, HOTAIR bound to UPF1, and UPF1 promoted the degradation of ACSL4 by binding to ACSL4. Furthermore, HOTAIR overexpression reversed paeonol-induced inhibition of ferroptosis by mediating the UPF1/ACSL4 axis. Paeonol inhibits the progression of ICH by mediating the HOTAIR/UPF1/ACSL4 axis. Paeonol inhibits the progression of intracerebral haemorrhage by mediating the HOTAIR/UPF1/ACSL4 axis 2021 33906483 MEG8 ENSG00000225746 lncRNA - H.sapiens Hemangioma hemangioma endothelial cells - Ferrostatin-1 miR-497-5p/NOTCH2 GPX4 knockdown of MEG8 inhibited the proliferation and induced the ferroptosis Knockdown of MEG8 increased the miR-497-5p expression and reduced the mRNA and protein levels of NOTCH2. Using a dual-luciferase assay, we confirmed the binding between MEG8 and miR-497-5p, and between the miR-497-5p and 3'UTR of NOTCH2. We further found that silencing MEG8 significantly decreased the expressions of SLC7A11 and GPX4 both in mRNA and protein level and had no effect on the level of AIFM2. Importantly, blocking miR-497-5p abrogated the effects of MEG8 loss on cell viability, MDA level and expression levels of NOTCH2, SLC7A11 and GPX4 in HemECs. Taken together, our results suggested that knockdown of long non-coding RNA MEG8 inhibited the proliferation and induced the ferroptosis of hemangioma endothelial cells by regulating miR-497-5p/NOTCH2 axis. Silencing long non-coding RNA MEG8 inhibits the proliferation and induces the ferroptosis of hemangioma endothelial cells by regulating miR-497-5p/NOTCH2 axis 2021 33839417 NEAT1 ENSG00000245532 lncRNA - H.sapiens Hbe And Nsclc non-small-cell lung cancer CCK8 assay erastin ACSL4 GPX4 NEAT1 regulates ferroptosis and ferroptosis sensitivity Erastin-induced cell death was positively correlated with ACSL4 level. NEAT1 regulated levels of ACSL4 and proteins related to the ferroptosis and classical apoptosis pathways. Levels of ACSL4, SLC7A11, and GPX4 were decreased more by NEAT1 silencing plus erastin than by erastin alone.

It was demonstrated that silencing H19 downregulated Bcl-2 and GPX4 expression and upregulated Bax expression at both the mRNA and protein levels in HTR-8/SVneo trophoblast cells. In conclusion, the present findings suggested that H19 has important roles in SA by promoting apoptosis and ferroptosis.

LINC00618 also accelerates ferroptosis by increasing the levels of lipid reactive oxygen species (ROS) and iron, two surrogate markers of ferroptosis, and decreasing the expression of solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11). Interestingly, VCR-induced ferroptosis and apoptosis are promoted by LINC00618, and LINC00618 accelerates ferroptosis in a manner dependent upon apoptosis. LINC00618 attenuates the expression of lymphoid-specific helicase (LSH), and LSH enhances the transcription of SLC7A11 after the recruitment to the promoter regions of SLC7A11, further inhibiting ferroptosis.

NIHSS score was positively correlated with PVT1 levels but was negatively with miR-214 levels. PVT1 silencing or miR-214 overexpression significantly reduced infarct size and suppressed ferroptosis in vivo. miR-214 overexpression markedly decreased PVT1 levels. Specifically, miR-214 could bind to 3'untranslated region (3'UTR) of PVT1, TP53 or TFR1. PVT1 overexpression or miR-214 silencing markedly abolished the effects of Ferrostatin-1 on ferroptosis indicators except for TFR1 expression.

Overexpression of miR-15a-3p repressed GPX4 through binding to the 3'-untranslated region of GPX4, resulting in increased reactive oxygen species level, intracellular Fe2+ level, and malondialdehyde accumulation in vitro and in vivo. Correspondingly, suppression of miR-15a-3p reduced the sensitivity of CRC cells to erastin and GPX4. Taken together, these data demonstrate that miR-15a-3p regulates ferroptosis through targeting GPX4 in CRC cells, illustrating the novel role of microRNA in ferroptosis.

H2O2 treatment after ALOX12 overexpression led to the enhancement of intracellular H2O2 amount and lipid peroxidation. By contrast, miR-7-5p knockdown seemed not to be involved in COX-2 and glycolysis signaling but affected the morphology of CRR cells.

Conversely, the miR-302a-3p inhibitor block ederastin- or RSL3-related ferroptosis and tumor suppression. Additionally, we found that miR-302a-3p directly bound to the 3'-untranslational region of ferroportin to decrease its protein expression, and that ferroportin overexpression significantly prevented miR-302a-3p mimic-induced ferroptosis and tumor inhibition. Moreover, the miR-302a-3p mimic sensitized NSCLCs cells to cisplatin and paclitaxel chemotherapy.

The miR-382-5p expression was down-regulated but SLC7A11 expression was up-regulated in clinical ovarian and breast cancer samples. Furthermore, the treatment of lidocaine repressed tumor growth of ovarian cancer cells in vivo, in which the miR-382-5p expression was increased while SLC7A11 expression was decreased. Consequently, we concluded that the lidocaine promoted ferroptosis by miR-382-5p/SLC7A11 axis in ovarian and breast cancer cells.

TP53 (also known as p53) was verified as a target of miR-122-5p by using dual luciferase reporter assay, and restoration of TP53 attenuated the effects of miR-122-5p on ferroptotic marker proteins expression, iron ion concentration and lipid ROS levels, as well as solute carrier family seven member 11 (SLC7A11) mRNA expression.

Overexpressing miR-27a-3p led to SLC7A11 suppression via directly binding to its 3'-UTR, followed by the reduction of erastin-caused ferroptosis. In contrast, inhibited miR-27a-3p resulted in an increase in NSCLC cells' sensitivity to erastin. Of importance, the accumulated lipid ROS and cell death of iron peptide mediated by anti-miR-27a-3p can be eliminated by impeding the glutamylation process.
