In addition, IL-6 regulates iron metabolism by activating the JAK-STAT3/BMP/SMAD pathway: after bone morphogenetic protein 6 (BMP6) binds to the membrane receptor, it induces phosphorylation of SMAD1/5/8 and upregulates hepcidin expression, resulting in the internalization and degradation of the iron transporter FPN, which exponentially increases the amount of intracellular iron accumulation, further exacerbating ferroptosis (228230)
