Ferroptosis is a type of regulated cell death recently discovered, characterized by the accumulation of iron-dependent lipid peroxides in the cell membrane, and it involves a complex network of signaling pathways, including iron metabolism, lipid peroxidation, and redox regulation. The dysregulation of these pathways can lead to the induction of ferroptosis and the development of liver diseases, such as alcoholic liver disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, viral hepatitis, and liver cancer. Studies have demonstrated that targeting key molecules involved in iron metabolism, lipid peroxidation, and redox regulation can reduce liver injury and improve liver function in different liver diseases by inhibiting ferroptosis. Thus, modulation of ferroptosis presents a promising therapeutic target for treating liver diseases. However, further research is required to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms underlying the role of ferroptosis in liver diseases and to develop more effective and targeted treatments.
