ABSTRACT
Ferroptosis is a recently identified iron-dependent form of nonapoptotic cell death characterized by reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and lipid peroxidation. Here, we report a novel iron-dependent form of ferroptosis induced by labile iron and investigate the mechanism underlying this process. We find that labile iron-induced ferroptosis is distinct from canonical ferroptosis and is linked to the mitochondrial pathway. Specifically, the mitochondrial calcium uniporter mediates the ferroptosis induced by labile iron. Interestingly, cells undergoing labile iron-induced ferroptosis exhibit cytoplasmic features of oncosis and nuclear features of apoptosis. Furthermore, labile iron-induced ferroptosis involves a unique set of genes. Finally, labile iron-induced ferroptosis was observed in liver subjected to acute iron overload in vivo. Our study reveals a novel form of ferroptosis that may be implicated in diseases caused by acute injury.
