Outline of Final Research Achievements

To clarify the mechanism of PHGPx depleted novel cell death, we identified six PHGPx depleted lipid peroxidation dependent cell death (lipoxytosis) inducing genes (Lipo gene) by genome-wide shRNA library screening and cell death recovery screening by retransfection of cDNA for lipo gene into lipo gene knockdown cells. Knockdown cells of the Lipo gene failed to suppress ferroptosis by the anti-cancer agent erastin and RSL3. These results reveal that PHGPx-depleted cell death is different cell death pathway from ferroptosis by erastin and RSL3.
