559 Administering small molecule ferroptosis inhibitors improves neurodegeneration in GPX4BIKO mice, indicating ferroptosis may play a crucial role in the pathology of AD
GPX4 converts glutathione (GSH) to oxidized glutathione (GSSG) and converts lipid peroxides to the corresponding alcohols, thus preventing the occurrence of Fenton reactions and subsequently inhibiting ROS generation ( A key component of the cellular antioxidant system, System Xc is a type of amino acid anti-transporter that is substantially dispersed in a lipid bilayer and is a very selective cystine uptake system ( consists of two subunits, one is solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11) and the other is solute carrier family 3 member 2 (SLC3A2), which enables the import of cystine from the extracellular space
