Understanding the core principles of ovarian cancer has been significantly improved through the exploration of Ferroptosis, a type of cell death triggered by iron that leads to an increase in lipid peroxides. Current research has shed light on the critical functions of non-coding RNAs, such as circRNAs, lncRNAs, and miRNAs, in regulating ferroptosis in ovarian cancer. The aim of this paper is to
... [Show full abstract] comprehensively analyze how ncRNAs influence the development of ferroptosis in ovarian cancer cells. In-depth exploration is undertaken to understand the intricate ways in which ncRNAs regulate essential elements of ferroptosis, including iron management and lipid peroxidation levels. We also investigate their significant involvement in the progression of this type of cellular demise. It should be emphasized that ncRNAs can impact the synthesis of crucial proteins, such as GPX4, a key contributor to the cellular defense against oxidation, and ACSL4, involved in lipid formation. In addition, we examine the correlation between ncRNAs and well-known pathways associated with oxidative stress and cell death. The consequences of these discoveries are noteworthy, since focusing on particular ncRNAs could potentially render ovarian cancer cells more vulnerable to ferroptosis, effectively combating drug resistance problems. This discussion highlights the growing significance of ncRNAs in governing ferroptosis and their potential as useful biomarkers and treatment targets for ovarian cancer. We intend to promote additional research into the involvement of ncRNAs in controlling ferroptosis, based on current findings, with the ultimate goal of informing targeted therapeutic strategies and improving long-term treatment outcomes for individuals suffering from OC.
