Review reveals a protective role of GPx4 against sepsis through ferroptosis and pyroptosis modulation, suggesting a critical molecular target for antimicrobial drug design.

Key Points

Summarize emerging evidence regarding the protective functions of glutathione peroxidase-4 (GPx4) in bacterial infection and polymicrobial sepsis through the regulation of distinct cell death pathways.
Reviewed recent molecular literature analyzing GPx4 regulation during bacterial pathogenesis and severe polymicrobial sepsis.
Assessed mechanistic interactions connecting GPx4 activity to ferroptosis and pyroptosis signaling pathways.
GPx4 plays a critical, protective role in mitigating tissue damage during bacterial infection and polymicrobial sepsis.
GPx4 functions as a requisite molecular gateway concurrently controlling both ferroptotic and pyroptotic regulated cell death mechanisms.
