DJ-1 suppresses ferroptosis through preserving the activity of S-adenosyl homocysteine hydrolase

Abstract

DJ-1 protects cells from oxidative stress-induced cell death; however its role in ferroptosis is unclear. Here, the authors show that DJ-1 suppresses ferroptosis through the transsulfuration pathway to compensate for the depletion of intracellular cysteine when cystine import is inhibited.
