Core Tip

Core Tip: Ferroptosis and pyroptosis are crucial modes of hepatic cell death in acute liver failure (ALF), and their close association leads to the sudden progression of liver failure. Silent information regulator sirtuin 1 inhibits p53 activity by deacetylation, thereby promoting cell survival. Inhibition of p53 activity affects downstream regulators like Glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) and Gasdermin D (GSDMD). The overexpression of GPX4 and reduced levels of GSDMD protect the cell from pyroptosis and ferroptosis, indicating the close link between these mechanisms in ALF.
