  • Ferroptosis, a newly-discovered mode of programmed cell death, is closely associated with the development of various diseases throughout the human body, such as tumors of the digestive system, ischemia-reperfusion injury, osteoarthropathy, etc. Therefore, ferroptosis has become a hot research topic in many fields of study in recent years, providing new ideas for the prevention and treatment of relevant diseases. Among them, structural lesions in osteoarthropathies involving articular cartilage, subchondral bone, and synovial tissue have been found to be associated with iron overload, as well as oxidative stress, which suggests that inhibition of ferroptosis in relevant joint tissue cells may have a positive effect in halting the development of osteoarthropathy. Herein, focusing on ferroptosis and osteoarthropathy, we summarized the research developments in mechanisms related to iron metabolism and ferroptosis, analyzed the impact of ferroptosis on the pathogenesis and development of osteoarthropathy, and proposed new ideas for medication therapies of osteoarthropathy, taking into account the latest research findings.
