The Phospholipase A2 Activity of Peroxiredoxin 6 Protects Hepatocarcinoma Cells Against Ferroptosis and Mitophagy Impairment

Peroxiredoxin 6 (PRDX6) is a moonlighting protein that plays a key role in regulating redox homeostasis and lipid metabolism through its unique dual peroxidase and calcium-independent phospholipase A2 (iPLA2) activities. Here, we generated a stable HepG2 cell line harboring a D140A mutation to selectively ablate iPLA2 activity, and we compared its phenotype with that of wild-type (WT) and…
