Ferroptosis in Alzheimer’s Disease: The Regulatory Role of Glial Cells
2025
Overview
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by the formation of amyloid plaques, neurofibrillary tangles and progressive cognitive decline. Amyloid-beta peptide (Aβ) monoclonal antibody therapeutic clinical trials have nearly failed, raising significant concerns about other etiological hypotheses about AD. Recent evidence suggests that AD patients also exhibit persistent neuronal loss and neuronal death accompanied by brain iron deposition or overload-related oxidative stress. Ferroptosis is a type of cell death that depends on iron, unlike autophagy and apoptosis. Inhibiting neuronal ferroptosis function is effective in improving cognitive impairment in AD. Notably, new research shows that ferroptosis in AD is crucially dependent on glial cell activation. This review examines the relationship between the imbalance of iron metabolism, the regulation of iron homeostasis in glial cells and neuronal death in AD pathology. Finally, the review summarizes some current drug research in AD targeting iron homeostasis, many novel iron-chelating compounds and natural compounds showing potential AD-modifying properties that may provide therapeutic targets for treating AD.
