摘要
In a recent study published in Cancer Cell,Liao et al.1 identified CD8+T-cell-derived interferon(IFN)γin combination with polyunsaturated fatty acids(PUFAs)as a natural ferroptosis inducer(FIN)to trigger tumor ferroptosis and promote anti-tumor immunity in an acyl-coenzyme A synthetase long-chain family member 4(ACSL4)-dependent manner.Ferroptosis refers to a form of regulated cell death triggered by excessive iron-dependent peroxidation of PUFA-containing phospholipids(PUFA-PLs)in the cellular membrane.
