<abstract>
<p>Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection, and its morbidity and mortality rates are increasing annually. It is an independent risk factor for intensive care unit-acquired weakness (ICU-AW), which is a common complication of patients in ICU. This situation is also known as sepsis-associated acquired weakness (SAW), and it can be a complication in more than 60% of patients with sepsis. The outcomes of SAW are often prolonged mechanical ventilation, extended hospital stays, and increased morbidity and mortality of patients in ICUs. The pathogenesis of SAW is unclear, and an effective clinical treatment is not available. Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent type of cell death with unique morphological, biochemical, and genetic features. Unlike other forms of cell death such as autophagy, apoptosis, and necrosis, ferroptosis is primarily driven by lipid peroxidation. Cells undergo ferroptosis during sepsis, which further enhances the inflammatory response. This process leads to increased cell death, as well as multi-organ dysfunction and failure. Recently, there have been sporadic reports suggesting that SAW is associated with ferroptosis, but the exact pathophysiological mechanisms remain unclear. Therefore, we reviewed the possible pathogenesis of ferroptosis that leads to SAW and offer new strategies to prevent and treat SAW.</p>

<title>Introduction</title>
<p>Sepsis is a life-threatening dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection. The World Health Organization categorizes it as a global health priority (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4">Cecconi et al., 2018</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B12">Evans et al., 2021</xref>). Despite many advances in the clinical management of sepsis, treatments are limited to symptomatic treatments, such as fluid resuscitation and organ protective support (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B12">Evans et al., 2021</xref>). The prevalence of sepsis and septic shock has increased annually since it was initially defined. Among 49 million patients with sepsis in 2017, 11 million succumbed to avoidable deaths that accounted for almost 20% of all-cause deaths and the prevalence was higher in females than in males (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B71">World Health Organization, 2020</xref>). The mortality rate of sepsis in intensive care unit (ICU) is 42%, which is very high (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B7">Crawford et al., 2023</xref>).</p>
<p>Intensive care unit-acquired weakness (ICU-AW) is a frequent complication among critically ill patients. It is mainly characterized by generalized symmetrical decrease in proximal limb muscle tone and diminished or normal deep tendon reflexes, which are often cumulative in limb and respiratory muscles (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B57">Stevens et al., 2009</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B32">Latronico et al., 2017</xref>). Globally, 13&#x2013;20 million patients annually require treatment in ICU and &#x3e;1 million of them develop ICU-AW (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B13">Fan et al., 2014</xref>). The main etiologies of ICU-AW are sepsis, mechanical ventilation, long-term immobilization, hyperglycemia, advanced age, and malnutrition (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B23">Herridge et al., 2011</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B30">Jolley et al., 2016</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B49">Ozdemir et al., 2022</xref>). Sepsis is an independent risk factor for ICU-AW, affecting over 60% of sepsis patients (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B32">Latronico et al., 2017</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B46">Mitobe et al., 2019</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B3">Bellaver et al., 2023</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B59">Takahashi et al., 2023</xref>), and this condition is also known as sepsis-associated acquired weakness (SAW). The pathogenesis of SAW remains unclear and an effective clinical treatment does not exist. Ferroptosis is closely associated with sepsis, such as lipid peroxidation, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and cellular ion metabolism (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B24">Huang et al., 2023</xref>). Ferroptosis is involved in skeletal muscle atrophy and sarcopenia, and sepsis can cause acquired muscle weakness (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B26">Ikeda et al., 2016</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B25">Huang et al., 2021</xref>). Inflammation inhibits the expression of the ferroptosis biomarker cystine transporter solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11) and GPX4 synthesis is blocked, thus promoting the occurrence of ferroptosis (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B67">Wang Y. et al., 2023</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B68">Wang Z. et al., 2023</xref>). However, whether ferroptosis is involved in the development of SAW is unclear. Therefore, we reviewed the mechanisms of ferroptosis that might be involved in SAW to generate new strategies that could prevent and treat SAW.</p>
<p>Ferroptosis is a unique form of iron-dependent non-apoptotic cell death that is morphologically, biochemically, and genetically distinct from apoptosis, necrosis, and autophagy (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B8">Dixon et al., 2012</xref>). The essence is that intracellular ROS and hydrogen peroxide (H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>) produce lipid peroxides due to the action of iron and oxidized lipid membranes with polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). This causes membrane damage followed by cell death. The intracellular cystine/glutamic acid reverse transporter (SXc<sup>&#x2212;</sup>), glutathione, and glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) interact under physiological conditions to maintain homeostasis in cells and organisms (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B8">Dixon et al., 2012</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B21">Hassannia et al., 2019</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B28">Jiang et al., 2021</xref>). Mitochondria are not only involved in energy supply but also produce ROS, H<sub>2</sub>0<sub>2</sub> in the process. In general, mitochondrial antioxidant enzymes, such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPX), catalase, etc., can scavenge excess ROS and H<sub>2</sub>0<sub>2</sub> produced during metabolism, maintain mitochondrial homeostasis, and protect cellular activity (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B50">Paplou et al., 2021</xref>). Furthermore, the mitochondria-targeted antioxidant MitoTEMPO blocked adriamycin-induced cardiac ferroptosis in mice, providing strong <italic>in vivo</italic> evidence for a link between mitochondria and ferroptosis (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B15">Fang et al., 2019</xref>). Ferroptosis is involved in the development of various diseases such as sepsis, tumors, neurological disease, and cardiomyopathies (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B52">Qiu et al., 2020</xref>). When bacterial infections result in sepsis, bacteria rely on iron for growth and thus stimulate intracellular iron shedding and release. Moreover, bacteria enhance the production of ROS and unsaturated fatty acids that serve as additional resources for ferroptosis and as bacterial nutrients. This subsequently exacerbates infection, leading to multi-organ dysfunction and ICU-AW (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B32">Latronico et al., 2017</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B34">Lei et al., 2022</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B44">Ma et al., 2022</xref>).</p>

<title>Possible mechanisms of ferroptosis leading to SAW</title>
<p>Ferroptosis plays important roles in sepsis-induced lung and renal injury, cardiomyopathy (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B38">Li et al., 2020</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B63">Wang et al., 2020</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B37">Li et al., 2022</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B51">Qiongyue et al., 2022</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B2">Bay&#x131;r et al., 2023</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B14">Fang et al., 2023</xref>) and in the pathological process of sarcopenia and skeletal muscle atrophy (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B53">Reardon and Allen, 2009</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B25">Huang et al., 2021</xref>). Ferroptosis in skeletal muscle cells might be involved in the development of SAW, and the mechanism might be associated with disordered iron metabolism, lipid peroxidation, and oxidative stress that inhibit GPX4 expression and promote ferroptosis in skeletal muscle cells (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B36">Li et al., 2023</xref>). We previously found that the AMP-activated protein kinase-peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor &#x3b3; coactivator-1&#x3b1;-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)-dependent deacetylase sirtuin-3 (SIRT3) signaling pathway is involved in SAW development (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B66">Wang, 2021</xref>) and that SIRT3 upregulation inhibits p53-mediated ferroptosis (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B29">Jin et al., 2021</xref>). SIRT3 is mainly located on mitochondria (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B78">Zhou et al., 2022</xref>), which are impaired in muscle in sepsis patients, interfering with muscle function and metabolism (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B17">Fredriksson et al., 2008</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B18">Friedrich et al., 2015</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B33">Leduc-Gaudet et al., 2020</xref>). Mitochondrial dysfunction can also be considered a &#x201c;catalyst&#x201d; for skeletal muscle atrophy. Mitochondrial dysfunction is not limited to muscle atrophy, but also triggers a cascade of deleterious events, including impaired energy metabolism, increased oxidative stress, and ferroptosis (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B48">Owen et al., 2019</xref>).</p>
<p>It has also been found that in a mouse model of sepsis, mitochondrial ultrastructural features manifested as smaller mitochondria, increased membrane density, reduced or absent cristae and rupture of the outer membrane, providing additional evidence for iron-induced cell death in skeletal muscle cells of septic mice (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B36">Li et al., 2023</xref>). In addition, the researchers identified a set of genes associated with both mitochondrial dysfunction and ferroptosis in sepsis-affected skeletal muscle and subjected the muscle tissue to immunoblotting analyses that revealed significantly increased levels of ferroptosis marker proteins (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B55">Sheng et al., 2024</xref>). The morphological features of ferroptosis are mainly high mitochondrial membrane density, reduced volume and rupture of the outer membrane (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B28">Jiang et al., 2021</xref>). Cells undergoing ferroptosis are immunogenic and can amplify the inflammatory response, causing more cell death (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B45">Martin-Sanchez et al., 2017</xref>). We speculated that the common mechanism of ferroptosis leading to sepsis and muscle atrophy are closely associated with the pathogenesis of SAW. Therefore, this article focuses on relevant mechanisms that may contribute to the development of SAW, such as iron and lipid metabolic disorders, SXc<sup>&#x2212;</sup>, and p53.</p>
<sec id="s1-1-1">
<title>Iron metabolism disorders</title>
<p>Iron is essential for life as it plays important roles in physiological and redox reactions, as well as DNA synthesis (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B42">Liu et al., 2021</xref>). Iron concentrations that exceed a threshold maintained by homeostatic mechanisms can trigger increased ROS production, oxidative stress, ferroptosis, activation of pro-inflammatory signaling pathways, and other toxic responses (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B69">Ward and Cloonan, 2019</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B10">Dutt et al., 2022</xref>). Most iron enters the body through dietary iron intake. Dietary iron is usually regarded as heme or non-heme and most of it enters the body in the ferric (Fe<sup>3&#x2b;</sup>) form, which ferric reductase reduces to the ferrous (Fe<sup>2&#x2b;</sup>) form. After binding to divalent metal-ion transporter 1 (DMT1) in the intestinal lumen, Fe<sup>2&#x2b;</sup> crosses the brush border membrane to reach the apical membranes of enterocytes. Ferroportin 1 (FPN1) transports Fe<sup>2&#x2b;</sup> across the basolateral membrane and into the blood circulation by cytosis and binds to plasma transferrin (TF) to form TF-Fe<sup>3&#x2b;</sup> complexes that enter cells through endocytosis by transferrin receptor 1 (TFR1). Some Fe<sup>3&#x2b;</sup> is stored in ferritin. Excess Fe<sup>3&#x2b;</sup> converted to Fe<sup>2&#x2b;</sup> by ferric reductases (6-transmembrane epithelial antigen of the prostate 3, STEAP3) enters the labile iron pool (LIP) (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">Anderson and Frazer, 2017</xref>) (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F1">Figure 1</xref>). Intracellular iron is normally in dynamic equilibrium and is used to meet the normal metabolic demands of organisms. However, due to repeated blood sampling or blood losses, anemia of inflammation (AI), along with blood transfusions and intravenous iron supplementation, ICU patients face challenges in maintaining a dynamic iron balance (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B19">Grange et al., 2023</xref>).</p>

<p>Under pathological conditions, proteins associated with iron and ferritin metabolism can become dysfunctional and augment biomarkers such as iron and ferritin that are associated with inflammation. Ferritin autophagy and iron deposition during inflammatory processes (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B42">Liu et al., 2021</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B20">Hamilton et al., 2023</xref>) result in excessive intracellular accumulation of Fe<sup>3&#x2b;</sup> and Fe<sup>2&#x2b;</sup>. This excessive Fe<sup>3&#x2b;</sup> and Fe<sup>2&#x2b;</sup> accumulation thereby leads to ROS accumulation via the Fenton reaction, which generates lipid peroxides (PL-PUFA-OOH) that lead to ferroptosis (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B73">Xing et al., 2022</xref>). In addition, excessive iron in skeletal muscle induces skeletal muscle atrophy and oxidative stress (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B53">Reardon and Allen, 2009</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B26">Ikeda et al., 2016</xref>), such as the loss of skeletal muscle mass in aged rats (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B25">Huang et al., 2021</xref>). Both sepsis and skeletal muscle atrophy can lead to disordered iron metabolism, which is the mechanism of ferroptosis. We thus postulated that disrupted iron metabolism is one explanation for ferroptosis in SAW.</p>

<sec id="s1-1-2">
<title>Disordered lipid metabolism</title>
<p>Lipids considerably impact cellular structure and functioning, including their involvement in biofilm composition and signaling processes. Polyunsaturated fatty acids are important components of the lipid bilayer in cell membranes, and ferroptosis is characterized by the generation of PL-PUFA-OOH, which is considered as the main executer of ferroptosis (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B28">Jiang et al., 2021</xref>). Free PUFAs synthesize lipids via synthases and integrate with phospholipids to form PUFA-PL to maintain cell membrane stability (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B70">Welch et al., 2022</xref>). Physiologically, cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase (POR) is located in the endoplasmic reticulum (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B31">Koppula et al., 2021</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B54">Rojas Velazquez et al., 2022</xref>). The electrons of nicotinamide dinucleotide phosphate hydrogen (NAD(P)H) are transferred to downstream CYP450 (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B74">Yan et al., 2021</xref>) via POR; however, some of these electrons react with oxygen during transfer, which results in H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> production. The subsequent Fenton reaction between H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> and Fe<sup>2&#x2b;</sup> leads to the generation of free hydroxyl radicals (-OH) that oxidatively react with PUFAs to yield PL-PUFA. Under the influence of Fe<sup>2&#x2b;</sup>, PL-PUFA transforms into toxic PL-PUFA-OOH (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B39">Liang et al., 2022</xref>). Interaction between PL-PUFA-OOH and reduced glutathione (GSH) leads to their reduction via GPX4 to yield PUFA phospholipid alcohols (PL-PUFA-OH) and oxidized glutathione (GSSG). This enzymatic process helps preserve cell membrane integrity.</p>
<p>Pathological conditions such as sepsis and myasthenia, disrupt the equilibrium described above. That is, excessive -OH production and GPX4 depletion prevents the continued reduction of PL-PUFA-OOH and leads to oxidative rupture of the cell membrane (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B61">Ursini and Maiorino, 2020</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B74">Yan et al., 2021</xref>). Meanwhile, the expression of light chain SLC7A11 is suppressed by the activation of the nucleotide-binding domain, leucine-rich&#x2013;containing family, pyrin domain&#x2013;containing-3 (NLRP3) inflammasomes during sepsis (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B43">Liu et al., 2022</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B62">Wang C. et al., 2023</xref>). Downstream GPX4 levels are decreased, and inhibiting this pathway accelerates the onset of ferroptosis (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B67">Wang Y. et al., 2023</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B68">Wang Z. et al., 2023</xref>). Inflammation also contributes to the production and accumulation of ROS in the skeletal muscle, and this is a major characteristic of skeletal muscle atrophy (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B11">Eshima et al., 2023</xref>). Accumulated ROS leads to increased PL-PUFA-OOH level and inhibited GPX4 activity, which results in ferroptosis (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B21">Hassannia et al., 2019</xref>), thus exacerbating the development of sepsis. This process also accelerates GPX4 depletion, which facilitates ferroptosis (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F2">Figure 2</xref>). Thus, ferroptosis induced by disordered lipid metabolism disorders might be an additional pathogenetic mechanism of SAW.</p>

<p>Pathways of PUFAs involved in ferroptosis. Cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase on endoplasmic reticulum transfers electrons from NAD(P)H to CYP450 while some NAD(P)H transfers electrons to oxygen and produces H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>. Hydrogen peroxide reacts with Fe<sup>2&#x2b;</sup> in the Fenton reaction to form -OH, which reacts with oxidized PUFAs to form PL-PUFA, which ROS and Fe<sup>2&#x2b;</sup> will convert to PL-PUFA-OOH. Intracellular GPX4 under physiological conditions will reduce PL-PUFA-OOH to PL-PUFA-OH. During sepsis, activated NLRP3 inhibits the expression of SLC7A11, which hinders cystine uptake, leaving insufficient raw material for GPX4 synthesis. Due to reduced levels of GPX4 synthesis, PL-PUFA-OOH cannot be reduced, which leads to ferroptosis. -OH, hydroxyl radical; CYP450, cytochrome P450; GPX4, glutathione, and glutathione peroxidase 4; H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>, hydrogen peroxide; NAD(P)H, nicotinamide dinucleotide phosphate hydrogen; NLRP3, nucleotide-binding domain, leucine-rich&#x2013;containing family, pyrin domain&#x2013;containing-3; PL-PUFA, polyunsaturated-fatty-acid-containing phospholipid; PL-PUFA-OH, polyunsaturated-fatty-acid-containing oxidative phospholipid; PL-PUFA-OOH, polyunsaturated-fatty-acid-containing-phospholipid hydroperoxides; ROS, reactive oxygen species; SLC7A11, cystine transporter solute carrier family 7 member 11.</p>

<title>System Xc<sup>&#x2212;</sup>-GSH-GPX4 pathway</title>
<p>System Xc<sup>&#x2212;</sup> consists of the protein subunits, SLC7A11 and heavy chain carrier family 3 member 2 (SLC3A2) that are amino acid transport proteins for cystine import and glutamate export (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B9">Dixon et al., 2014</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B60">Tang and Kroemer, 2020</xref>). Its role is to uptake cystine and excrete glutamate. Ingested cystine is reduced to cysteine then involved in glutathione synthesis (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B40">Liu et al., 2020a</xref>). Glutathione has reduced (GSH) and oxidized (GSSG) forms and GPX4 catalyzes the conversion of glutathione to GSSG. Normally, GSH plays antioxidant and protective roles by reacting with ROS (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B58">Stockwell et al., 2017</xref>). Glutathione peroxidase 4 is critical for cell survival and is a core regulator of ferroptosis, which degrades small molecule peroxides and PL-PUFA-OOH and inhibits lipid peroxidation. The knockdown and upregulation of GPX4 respectively induces and inhibits ferroptosis (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B75">Yang et al., 2014</xref>). Inhibiting SLC7A11 during sepsis leads to SXc<sup>&#x2212;</sup> inactivation, the prevention of cystine translocation into cells (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B65">Wang et al., 2022</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B76">Zhang et al., 2022</xref>), and reduced glutathione synthesis from glutamate and cystine. Depleted glutathione causes a decline in GPX4 synthesis, which subsequently results in a diminished ability to convert H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> and hydroperoxides into water and a gradual increase of hydroperoxides. Accumulated hydroperoxides further react with PUFAs on lipid membranes and lead to ferroptosis via increased lipid peroxidation of cell membranes (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B75">Yang et al., 2014</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B5">Chen et al., 2021</xref>) (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F3">Figure 3</xref>).</p>

<p>Patients with SAW in ICU are immobilized mostly due to factors such as disease states, prevention of catheter dislodgement, and falls from beds.

Spermidine/spermine N<sup>1</sup>-acetyltransferase 1 (SAT1) acts as a transcriptional target of p53 that is activated by inflammation; it also induces the elevated expression of arachidonate 15-lipoxygenase (ALOX15), which oxidizes PUFAs that promote ferroptosis (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B47">Ou et al., 2016</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B41">Liu et al., 2020b</xref>). Therefore, p53 and SAT1 expression might be increased in patients with SAW, which in turn induces ferroptosis. However, the exact mechanism requires further in-depth investigation.</p>

<title>Summary and outlook</title>
<p>Sepsis-associated acquired weakness is a frequent complication in critically ill patients with sepsis that cannot be effectively treated or prevented. This type of weakness affects the quality of life of the patients and can lead to complete paralysis. Ferroptosis is a new pathway of programmed cell death in sepsis and skeletal muscle atrophy. Although there are sporadic reports suggesting that SAW is associated with ferroptosis, the mechanism remains unclear. Therefore, through this review, we described the common pathways through which ferroptosis leads to sepsis and muscle atrophy. These mechanisms potentially underpin the causative relationship between ferroptosis and SAW. However, this knowledge gap presents avenues for future investigation and serves as an impetus to guide investigators toward analyzing this situation.</p>
