Secondly, since cardiomyocytes are easily affected by free iron overload, the release of excess free iron during ferroptosis would result in up-regulation of transferrin receptor (TFR) and down-regulation of ferritin, promoting cardiomyocyte cell death through mitochondrial VDAC2/3 or membrane lipid peroxidation through Fenton reaction to induce myocardial edema and dysfunction (Liu et al., 2018)
The ROS scavenging property of Sp was also replicated in the Drosophila models knocked-down for essential antioxidant enzymes catalase and glutathione peroxidase, where neuronal cells of 15 days AEL flies genetically expressing a redox biosensor, roGFP showed reduced fluorescence under Sp treatment (Fig
Type I collagen is synthesized and secreted by fibroblasts, using the exocytic pathway that is employed for other secretory proteins (see Chapter 21), but the biosynthesis of collagen is noteworthy for the extensive number of processing steps required to prepare the protein for assembly in the extracellular matrix
