Oxidized phosphatidylinositol impairs lysosomal membrane repair to promote ferroptosis

Ferroptosis is a regulated form of cell death driven by iron-dependent and unrestrained lipid peroxidation, which generates phospholipid hydroperoxides that cause membrane rupture. Oxidized phospholipid species, including oxidized arachidonic acid-containing phosphatidylethanolamines (PE), are abundant during ferroptosis. However, previous studies have examined only a limited number of lipid…
