The human microbiome is a unique organ and maintains host immunomodulation and nutrient metabolism. Structural and functional microbiome alterations are commonly known as dysbiosis, which is strongly associated with disease progression. Ferroptosis is a novel iron-dependent cell death mode characterized by intracellular iron accumulation, increased reactive oxygen species (ROS), and lipid peroxidation (LPO). Importantly, the complex crosstalk between the microbiome and ferroptosis in disease has attracted considerable research attention. The microbiome influences ferroptosis by regulating host iron homeostasis, mitochondrial metabolism, and LPO, among many other pathways. Thus, the in-depth analysis of microbiome-ferroptosis crosstalk and associated mechanisms could provide new strategies to treat human diseases. Therefore, understanding this crosstalk is critical. Here, we systematically explore the associations between gut microbiome and ferroptosis across multiple diseases. We show that the oral microbiome also influences disease progression by regulating ferroptosis. Furthermore, we provide a potential for certain disease therapies by targeting the crosstalk between the microbiome and ferroptosis.
人类微生物群是一个独特的器官,维持着宿主的免疫调节和营养代谢。微生物群的结构和功能改变通常被称为生态失调,这与疾病进展密切相关。铁死亡是一种新的铁依赖性细胞死亡模式,其特征是细胞内铁积累、活性氧(ROS)增加和脂质过氧化(LPO)。重要的是,微生物群与疾病中铁死亡之间复杂的相互作用已引起了相当多的研究关注。微生物群通过调节宿主铁稳态、线粒体代谢和LPO等多种途径影响铁死亡。因此,深入分析微生物群-铁死亡的相互作用及其相关机制可为治疗人类疾病提供新策略。所以,了解这种相互作用至关重要。在此,我们系统地探讨了多种疾病中肠道微生物群与铁死亡之间的关联。我们发现口腔微生物群也通过调节铁死亡影响疾病进展。此外,我们通过靶向微生物群与铁死亡之间的相互作用为某些疾病治疗提供了潜力。
