Our recent study showed that two oxidoreductases - NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase (POR) and NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase (CYB5R1) - transfer electrons to oxygen to generate hydrogen peroxide (HO). HO then reacts with ferrous iron, generating hydroxyl radicals that cause peroxidation of polyunsaturated-fatty-acid chains of membrane phospholipids, resulting in plasma membrane rupture and ferroptosis.
我们最近的研究表明,两种氧化还原酶——NADPH-细胞色素P450还原酶(POR)和NADH-细胞色素b5还原酶(CYB5R1)——将电子传递给氧以生成过氧化氢(HO)。然后HO与亚铁反应,生成羟基自由基,这些自由基会导致膜磷脂的多不饱和脂肪酸链发生过氧化,从而导致质膜破裂和铁死亡。
