Ferroptosis is a form of regulated necrosis associated with the iron-dependent accumulation lipid hydroperoxides that may play key role in pathogenesis degenerative diseases which peroxidation has been implicated. High-throughput screening efforts have identified ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1) and liproxstatin-1 (Lip-1) as potent inhibitors ferroptosis − an activity ascribed to their ability slow hydroperoxides. Herein we demonstrate this likely derives from reactivity radical-trapping antioxidants...

The selenoenzyme glutathione peroxidase 4 (Gpx4) is a major scavenger of phospholipid hydroperoxides. Although Gpx4 represents key component the reactive oxygen species-scavenging network, its relevance in immune system yet to be defined. Here, we investigated importance for physiological T cell responses by using cell-specific Gpx4-deficient mice. Our results revealed that, despite normal thymic development, CD8(+) cells from T(ΔGpx4/ΔGpx4) mice had an intrinsic defect maintaining...

High-risk neuroblastoma is a devastating malignancy with very limited therapeutic options. Here, we identify withaferin A (WA) as natural ferroptosis-inducing agent in neuroblastoma, which acts through novel double-edged mechanism. WA dose-dependently either activates the nuclear factor–like 2 pathway targeting of Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (noncanonical ferroptosis induction) or inactivates glutathione peroxidase 4 (canonical induction). Noncanonical induction characterized by an...

Oxygen radicals regulate many physiological processes, such as signaling, proliferation, and apoptosis, thus play a pivotal role in pathophysiology disease development. There are at least two thioredoxin reductase/thioredoxin/peroxiredoxin systems participating the cellular defense against oxygen radicals. At present, relatively little is known about contribution of individual enzymes to redox metabolism different cell types. To begin address this question, we generated characterized mice...

Ferroptosis, a non-apoptotic form of cell death marked by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation1, has key role in organ injury, degenerative disease and vulnerability therapy-resistant cancers2. Although substantial progress been made understanding the molecular processes relevant to ferroptosis, additional cell-extrinsic cell-intrinsic that determine sensitivity toward ferroptosis remain unknown. Here we show fully reduced forms vitamin K-a group naphthoquinones includes menaquinone...
