Ferroptosis Promotes Cyst Growth in Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease Mouse Models

Abstract excerpt

Significance Statement This study demonstrates for the first time a role of ferroptosis in ADPKD. We show the Pkd1 mutation makes renal epithelial cells prone to ferroptosis through the dysregulation of iron and lipid metabolism. It also suggests the main form of regulated cell death in ADPKD kidneys is ferroptotic but not apoptotic, which helps clarify the controversy over the role of apoptosis in ADPKD. In...
