Table 1 Features of ferroptosis and other forms of regulated cell death
Ferroptosis | Necrosis | Apoptosis | Autophagy | |
Morphological features | Condensed mitochondrial membrane densities, reduction or vanishing of mitochondria crista, and outer mitochondrial membrane rupture | Organelle swelling, plasma membrane damage, cell disruption | Cell membrane foaming, cell shrinkage and the formation of apoptotic bodies | Cytoplasm vacuolization, formation of autophagosomes and removal of substances through lysosomes |
Biochemical features | Iron accumulation; lipid peroxidation; glutaminolysis | Activation of RIPK1, RIPK3, and MLKL; activation of inflammasome and release of pro-inflammatory cytokines | DNA fragmentation; Caspases cascade activation; Ca2+/mg2+ -dependent endogenous nuclease and calpain activation | MAP1LC3B-I to MAP1LC3B-II conversion; increased autophagic flux and lysosomal |
