Prominin-2 Suppresses Ferroptosis Sensitivity.
Summary of "Prominin-2 Suppresses Ferroptosis Sensitivity."
Ferroptosis causes clinically relevant amounts of necrosis during the course of heart attacks and acute kidney injury. However, ferroptosis is still a very young research field. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Brown et al. describe the pentaspan membrane glycoprotein prominin-2 as a novel endogenous ferroptosis inhibitor.

FSP1 is a glutathione-independent ferroptosis suppressor.
Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent form of necrotic cell death marked by oxidative damage to phospholipids. To date, ferroptosis has been believed to be restrained only by the phospholipid hydroperoxide...
Aerobic organisms need to maintain cellular redox homeostasis. Glutathione peroxidase-4 (Gpx4) has the unique ability to protect cells against lipid peroxidation. Here, we show that Gpx4 is absolutely...
Recent Progress in Ferroptosis Inducers for Cancer Therapy.
Ferroptosis is a newly discovered form of regulated cell death that is the nexus between metabolism, redox biology, and human health. Emerging evidence shows the potential of triggering ferroptosis fo...
The CoQ oxidoreductase FSP1 acts parallel to GPX4 to inhibit ferroptosis.
Ferroptosis is a form of regulated cell death that is caused by the iron-dependent peroxidation of lipids. The glutathione-dependent lipid hydroperoxidase glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) prevents ferr...
A Physiological Function for Ferroptosis in Tumor Suppression by the Immune System.
Ferroptosis is a form of regulated cell death involving lethal peroxidation of phospholipids (Hirschhorn and Stockwell, 2019). Recent results reveal that ferroptosis mediates the tumor suppressive act...
Clinical Trials
Building a Database of Results From People Without Eye Problems
The purpose of this study is to build a database of results from a new test that measures contrast sensitivity (the Spaeth-Richman Contrast Sensitivity Test (SPARCS)). Contrast sensitivity...
Measuring Sensitivity to Nonignorability
To develop a new statistical index that measures sensitivity to non-ignorability (index of sensitivity to nonignorability, or ISNI) for model-based inferences.
The Effect of Naloxone and Methylnaltrexone on Esophageal Sensitivity in Health
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of naloxone (IV or IM administration) and methylnaltrexone (subcutaneous administration) on esophageal sensitivity, in a group of health...
Vitamin D, Insulin Sensitivity, and Vascular Associations in Adolescents
The overall objectives of this study are to examine the relationships between circulating vitamin D, insulin sensitivity, and multiple indices of vascular function and to examine whether v...
Effect of Dietary Polyphenols on Insulin Sensitivity

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Bromocriptine
A semisynthetic ergotamine alkaloid that is a dopamine D2 agonist. It suppresses prolactin secretion.
Aversive Therapy
A treatment that suppresses undesirable behavior by simultaneously exposing the subject to unpleasant consequences.
Resistin
A 12-kDa cysteine-rich polypeptide hormone secreted by FAT CELLS in the ADIPOSE TISSUE. It is the founding member of the resistin-like molecule (RELM) hormone family. Resistin suppresses the ability of INSULIN to stimulate cellular GLUCOSE uptake.
Protein Kinase C
An serine-threonine protein kinase that requires the presence of physiological concentrations of CALCIUM and membrane PHOSPHOLIPIDS. The additional presence of DIACYLGLYCEROLS markedly increases its sensitivity to both calcium and phospholipids. The sensitivity of the enzyme can also be increased by PHORBOL ESTERS and it is believed that protein kinase C is the receptor protein of tumor-promoting phorbol esters.
Ac133 Antigen
A member of the prominin family, AC133 Antigen is a 5-transmembrane antigen occurring as several isoforms produced by alternative splicing which are processed into mature forms. In humans, it is expressed as a subset of CD34 (bright) human hematopoietic stem cells and CD34 positive leukemias. Functionally, it is associated with roles in cell differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis. Specifically, it regulates the organization of apical plasma membrane in epithelial cells, disk morphogenesis during early retinal development, MAPK and Akt signaling pathways, and in cholesterol metabolism.
