摘要

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains a major cause of mortality and long-term disability worldwide, with ferroptosis and necroptosis emerging as key drivers of secondary neuronal damage. Ferroptosis, characterized by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation and mitochondrial dysfunction, exacerbates oxidative stress and neuronal cell death. In parallel, necroptosis, mediated by receptor-interacting protein kinases (RIPK1 and RIPK3), amplifies inflammation through membrane rupture and the release of cellular components. Mitochondrial dynamics, involving fission and fusion processes, play a dual role in regulating these pathways. While mitochondrial fusion preserves cellular integrity and reduces oxidative stress, excessive mitochondrial fission driven by dynamin-related protein 1 (DRP1) accelerates necroptotic signaling and neuronal injury. This intricate interplay between ferroptosis, necroptosis, and mitochondrial dynamics highlights potential therapeutic targets. Modulating these pathways through tailored interventions could reduce neuronal damage, mitigate neuroinflammation, and improve functional outcomes in TBI patients. Advancing our understanding of these mechanisms is essential for developing precision therapies that address the complex pathology of traumatic brain injury.
