Occurrence and mechanism of ferroptosis in livestock and poultry diseases

Abstract:

Ferroptosis is a novel form of programmed cell death that is iron-dependent and primarily characterized by lipid peroxidation. Studies have indicated that ferroptosis is closely related to the occurrence and development of various diseases. A variety of pathogens have been confirmed to induce ferroptosis of host cells, which facilitates pathogen proliferation and counteracting host immunity. Therefore, ferroptosis extensively participates in the pathophysiological processes caused by pathogen infection. In addition, ferroptosis is involved in the pathological process of many metabolic and poisoning diseases. This paper reviews the research progress in the occurrence and mechanism of ferroptosis in livestock and poultry diseases, aiming to provide reference for further exploring the effect and mechanism of ferroptosis in livestock and poultry diseases.
