Research Progress of Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine on Ferroptosis Overcome Drug Resistance of Colorectal Cancer
In the realm of colorectal cancer treatment,drug resistance is a formidable obstacle.Ferroptosis is a recently dis-covered mechanism of cell death that differs from necrosis,autophagy,apoptosis and other traditional pathways.It may trigger cell death through lipid peroxidation,which circumvents the drug resistance link in colorectal cancer(CRC)and provides a novel tar-get for intervention and therapeutic ideas to overcome drug resistance in CRC.This paper presented a comprehensive overview of the mechanisms underlying ferroptosis and CRC drug resistance,including relevant intervention targets and a summary of the latest advances in ferroptosis intervention research on drug-resistant CRC cells from the perspectives of ferroptosis intervention on im-mune,targeted and chemotherapeutic resistance.In addition,the relevant mechanisms of traditional Chinese medicine extracts in-tervening in drug-resistant colorectal cancer through ferroptosis were also summarized.This paper listed and summarized the tar-gets,pathways and processes of ferroptosis to overcome CRC drug resistance,laying the groundwork for more complex mechanisms and future clinical investigations.
