PLA2G6 guards placental trophoblasts against ferroptotic injury
Open accessAbstract
Significance: Placental dysfunction has been causally linked to major pregnancy complications that are implicated in maternal–fetal morbidity and mortality, but the mechanisms underlying placental dysfunction are largely unknown. The recently identified ferroptotic cell death is characterized by excessive accumulation of hydroperoxide phosphatidylethanolamines. While oxidative damage commonly defines placental dysfunction, the role of ferroptosis in this process is largely unknown. We found that preterm birth is associated with ferroptotic signals, and that inhibition of GPX4, which converts unstable lipid hydroperoxides to nontoxic lipid alcohols, causes ferroptotic injury in primary human trophoblasts and in mouse pregnancy. Importantly, we found that the phospholipase PLA2G6 mitigates trophoblast and placental ferroptosis. Together, we identified placental ferroptosis and established a role for PLA2G6 in attenuating ferroptosis.

Each type of PLA2 has substrate-specific activity, and depending on the substrate, PLA2 can either promote or block ferroptosis.
“Each type of PLA2 has a substrate-specific activity, and depending on the substrate, PLA2 can either promote or block ferroptosis (28–31).”
From Secreted Apoe rewires melanoma cell state vulnerability to ferroptosis (2024) · cites this paper as [30]
The Discussion (page unavailable) says PLA2G6 metabolizes proferroptotic Hp-PE species and helps defend trophoblasts against ferroptosis. The Results (page unavailable) also show that PLA2G6 loss increases ferroptosis sensitivity. The paper does not establish that each type of PLA2 has substrate-specific activity or that PLA2 can promote ferroptosis depending on its substrate. (LLM, conf=0.86)

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.
