Iron homeostasis and oxidative stress: An intimate relationship
Abstract
Iron is a transition metal and essential constituent of almost all living cells and organisms. As component of various metalloproteins it is involved in critical biochemical processes such as transport of oxygen in tissues, electron transfer reactions during respiration in mitochondria, synthesis and repair of DNA, metabolism of xenobiotics, etc. However, when present in excess within cells and tissues, iron disrupts redox homeostasis and catalyzes the propagation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading to oxidative stress. ROS are critical for physiological signaling pathways, but oxidative stress is associated with tissue injury and disease. At the cellular level, oxidative stress may lead to ferroptosis, an iron-dependent form of cell death. In this review, we focus on the intimate relationship between iron metabolism and oxidative stress in health and disease. We discuss aspects of redox- and iron-mediated signaling, toxicity, ferroptotic cell death, homeostatic pathways and pathophysiological implications.
Keywords: Ferroptosis; Iron metabolism; Lipid peroxidation; Oxidative stress; Oxygen; Redox signaling.
