Myriocin, HIF-1, and Ferroptosis Resistance
2026-08-25
Liu et al. show that inhibiting de novo sphingolipid synthesis with myriocin protects HT22 neuronal cells from erastin- or glutamate-induced ferroptosis through HIF-1α activation, rather than by restoring intracellular glutathione. The study links myriocin to reduced HIF1A ubiquitination, altered glucose metabolism, and induction of HIF-1 effectors, providing a mechanistic framework for studying ferroptosis resistance in neurological models.
