Following heme internalization, heme oxygenase-1 (HMOX-1) degrades heme to produce bilirubin, carbon monoxide, and ferrous ions, which inhibit the interactions of iron-binding proteins with iron response elements in FPN mRNA, thereby upregulating FPN expression and promoting tumor growth ( 5.2 Macrophage-mediated regulation of tumor cell ferroptosis Macrophages exhibit remarkable plasticity, changing their phenotype and functional spectrum in response to the microenvironment, thereby demonstrating the existence of heterogeneous subpopulations
The primary risk is reduced effectiveness rather than toxicity
This step is critical in identifying any imbalances that need to be addressed through therapy
