Epigenetic and posttranslational modification of ferroptosis in cardiovascular diseases

Diseases Modification Targets Biological functions Ref
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. 396
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. 397
MIRI ncRNA TfR1 miR-210-3p alleviate hypoxia/reoxygenation-induced myocardial cell injury through inhibiting ferroptosis via dowregulating TfR1. 398
MIRI ncRNA GLS2 miR-190a-5p promotes ferroptosis through inhibiting GLS2. 399
MIRI 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. 400
MIRI ncRNA ME2 Upregulated miR-214-3p promotes MIRI through inducing ferroptosis via suppressing ME2. 401
MIRI ncRNA GPX4 Egr-1-mediated upregulation of miR-15a-5p promotes MIRI through inducing ferroptosis via suppressing GPX4. 402
MIRI Ubiquitination Frataxin Upregulated frataxin alleviates cardiomyocyte ferroptosis through upregulating FTH and downregulating TfR1. NHLRC1 mediates frataxin ubiquitination degradation. 403
MIRI Ubiquitination p53/TfR1 USP7 promotes MIRI through inducing ferroptosis via activation of the p53/TfR1 pathway. 385
MIRI Ubiquitination SIRT1/p53/SLC7A11 USP22 alleviates MIRI through inhibiting ferroptosis via the SIRT1-p53/SLC7A11. 404
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. 405
DIC 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. 410
DIC Methylation Nrf2/GPX4 Upregulated PRMT4 aggravate DIC through promoting ferroptosis via interacting with Nrf2 to promote its enzymatic methylation, thereby suppressing GPX4. 411
DIC Phosphorylation AMPKα2 Activation of AMPKα2 attenuated doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity through inhibiting ferroptosis. 412
DIC Ubiquitination Keap1 TRIM21 ablation protects DIC through inhibiting ferroptosis via enhancing p62 sequestration of Keap1. 413
DIC Ubiquitination - MITOL knockdown worsened vulnerability to DOX in cultured cardiomyocytes stressed with DOX. 414
DIC Ubiquitination NCOA4 Upregulated SPATA2 recruit CYLD promotes ferritinophagy through decreasing NCOA4 ubiquitination and ferritin, and ferroptosis through increasing ACSL4. 415
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. 416
Cardiac Fibrosis ncRNA GPX4 miR-375-3p promotes cardiac fibrosis through accelerating the ferroptosis of cardiomyocytes via downregulating GPX4. 417
Heart Failure ncRNA GPX4 circSnx12 could act as an endogenous sponge to bind with miR-224-5p, and the 3’UTR region of FTH1 also had miRNA binding sites. 418
Heart Failure Ubiquitination Keap1/Nrf2 Downregulated PGAM5 promotes ferroptosis in models of heart failure through decreasing Keap1 protein ubiquitination, thereby reducing activation of Nrf2. 419
HFD-induced cardiac injury Phosphorylation STAT3/NCOA4 IL-6/STAT3 signaling promotes cardiac injury by upregulating NCOA4-mediated ferritinophagy and ferroptosis in high-fat-diet fed mice. 420
Cardiac Hypertrophy Glycosylation CD147 CD147 promotes pathological cardiac remodeling and dysfunction through promoting ferroptosis in a glycosylation-dependent manner through binding the adaptor protein TRAF2 and activating the downstream TRAF2-TAK1 signaling pathway. 421
Aortic dissection m6A SLC7A11 Upregulated METTL3 facilitates ferroptosis of HASMCs by promoting the mRNA degradation of SLC7A11 and FSP1. 422
SIC - SLC7A11/GPX4; P53 and ferritin TMEM43 knockdown promotes LPS-induced mouse cardiac injury and dysfunction through inducing ferroptosis via upregulating the level of P53 and ferritin, while inhibiting the level of GPX4 and SLC7A11. 425
