Long chain lipid hydroperoxides increase the glutathione redox potential through glutathione peroxidase 4 [PDF]
Peroxidation of PUFAs by a variety of endogenous and xenobiotic electrophiles is a recognized pathophysiological process that can lead to adverse health effects. Although secondary products generated from peroxidized PUFAs have been relatively well studied, the role of primary lipid hydroperoxides in mediating early intracellular oxidative events is ...

Glutathione peroxidase 4: a new player in neurodegeneration? [PDF]
Glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPx4) is an antioxidant enzyme reported as an inhibitor of ferroptosis, a recently discovered non-apoptotic form of cell death. This pathway was initially described in cancer cells and has since been identified in hippocampal and renal cells.

Expression of a catalytically inactive mutant form of glutathione peroxidase 4 (Gpx4) confers a dominant-negative effect in male fertility. [PDF]
The selenoenzyme Gpx4 is essential for early embryogenesis and cell viability for its unique function to prevent phospholipid oxidation. Recently, the cytosolic form of Gpx4 was identified as an upstream regulator of a novel form of non-apoptotic cell ...

Induction mechanism of ferroptosis: A novel therapeutic target in lung disease
Ferroptosis is a newly discovered form of non-apoptotic regulatory cell death driven by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation. Ferroptosis significantly differs from other forms of cell death in terms of biochemistry, genetics, and morphology.

Ferroptosis in the pathogenesis of brain tumors [PDF]
The field of research on ferroptosis has seen an explosive growth in the past few years since the term was coined in 2012. This review highlights the current state of knowledge on the developmental mechanism of this unique mode of cell death, induced by ...

Induction of Glutathione Peroxidase 4 Expression during Enterocytic Cell Differentiation [PDF]
Glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPx4), an abundant selenoenzyme, is ubiquitously expressed in a tissue-, cell- and differentiation-dependent manner, and it is localized in cytoplasmic, mitochondrial, and nuclear cellular compartments. Here, we report cytoplasmic and nuclear localization of GPx4 in Caco-2 intestinal epithelial cells.
