AIFM2 blocks ferroptosis independent of ubiquinol metabolism
Abstract
Ferroptosis is a multi-step regulated cell death that is characterized by excessive iron accumulation and lipid peroxidation. Cancer cells can acquire resistance to ferroptosis by the upregulation of anti-ferroptotic proteins or by the downregulation of pro-ferroptotic proteins. Apoptosis-inducing factor mitochondria-associated 2 (AIFM2, also known as FSP1 or PRG3) has been recently demonstrated as an endogenous ferroptosis suppressor, but its mechanism remains obscure. Here, we show that AIFM2 blocks erastin-, sorafenib-, and RSL3-induced ferroptotic cancer cell death through a mechanism independent of ubiquinol, the reduced and active antioxidant form of coenzyme Q10. In contrast, AIFM2-dependent endosomal sorting complexes required for transport (ESCRT)-III recruitment in the plasma membrane is responsible for ferroptosis resistance through the activation of a membrane repair mechanism that regulates membrane budding and fission. Importantly, the genetic inhibition of the AIFM2-dependent ESCRT-III pathway increases the anticancer activity of sorafenib in a xenograft tumor mouse model. These findings shed new light on the mechanism involved in ferroptosis resistance during tumor therapy.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
