Lipid Peroxidation and GPX4 Inhibition Are Common Causes for Myofibroblast Differentiation and Ferroptosis
29 May 2019
Abstract excerpt
Ferroptosis is a new form of regulated cell death. Fibroblast-to-myofibroblast differentiation is known to be involved in the pathogenesis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Utilizing HFL1 cell line treated with transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), we investigated the relationship between ferroptosis and pulmonary fibrosis, and the function of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) in them. The results indicated that...
