Ferroptosis is a form of necrotic cell death caused by iron-dependent peroxidation of polyunsaturated phospholipids on cell membranes, which is carried out by oxidoreductases transferring electrons to oxygen to generate hydrogen peroxide for lipid peroxidation. This process needs to be counteracted by antioxidant systems to prevent cell death.
Ferroptosis is a form of necrotic cell death caused by iron-dependent peroxidation of polyunsaturated phospholipids on cell membranes and is actively suppressed by the cellular antioxidant systems. We report here that oxidoreductases, including NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase (POR) and NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase (CYB5R1), transfer electrons from NAD(P)H to oxygen to generate hydrogen peroxide, which subsequently reacts with iron to generate reactive hydroxyl radicals for the peroxidation of the polyunsaturated fatty acid ( PUFA) chains of membrane phospholipids, thereby disrupting membrane integrity during ferroptosis. Genetic knockout of POR and CYB5R1 decreases cellular hydrogen peroxide generation, preventing lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis. Moreover, POR knockdown in mouse liver prevents ConA-induced liver damage. Ferroptosis, therefore, is a result of incidental electron transfer carried out by POR/CYB5R1 oxidoreductase and thus needs to be constitutively countered by the antioxidant systems.
