Ferroptosis as Primary Mechanism for Allergen-Exacerbated Asthma: Integrating the Modifying
Activities of the 15-Lipoxygenase-1 (15LO1) Factor
Abstract
Asthma is an intricate respiratory condition with heterogeneous pathways that should be
studied comprehensively for improved treatment outcomes. Allergens contribution to asthma has
been clearly established. However, the role of ferroptosis in asthmatic attacks for individuals
with reactions to environmental factors such as pollen has not been clearly established. Enhanced
comprehension of the different models promotes better innovations and the development of more
effective and efficient clinical practices. The concept was developed by Dixon and other authors
in 2012, and other researchers such as Mao et al. (2020) studied and provided comprehensive
evidence of the process and how it contributes to asthmatic condition.
Introduction and Background
Asthma is a common and life-altering respiratory infection affecting approximately 320
million people- 6-15 of the global population (Liu et al., 2023). The existing literature identifies
and strongly associates the disease with atopic and allergy-related outcomes, particularly the
swelling in the throat. Current research shows that it is a multifactorial and heterogeneous issue
with varying molecular pathways contributing to the development and evolution of the disease.
This emphasizes the relevance of identification of the phenotypes and improving the
understanding of the phenotypes and endotypes implicated in the outcomes and the remedies for
better outcomes (Liu et al., 2023). Therefore, this study aims to uncover the mediating role of the
15-Lipoxygenase-1 factor in ferroptosis facilitating allergen-related and exacerbated asthma.
