Schematic illustration of the study. (A) FRA affects fibroblasts behaviour by inducing ferroptosis to ameliorate hypertrophic scar. (B) ONT long-read RNA-seq reveals that FRA induces ferroptosis of fibroblasts by CTSB. (C) FRA can mediate CTSB leakage from lysosomes in fibroblasts, and CTSB induces ferroptosis via SAT1-mediated lipid peroxidation, mitochondrial damage and MAPK signalling pathway activation.
