A tangible method to assess native ferroptosis suppressor activity

Ferroptosis, a regulated cell death hallmarked by unrestrained lipid peroxidation, plays a pivotal role in the pathophysiology of various diseases, making it a promising therapeutic target. Glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) prevents ferroptosis by reducing (phospho)lipid hydroperoxides, yet evaluation of its actual activity has remained arduous. Here, we present a tangible method using affinity-purified GPX4 to capture a snapshot of its native activity. Next to measuring GPX4 activity, this improved method allows for the investigation of mutational GPX4 activity, exemplified by the GPX4U46C mutant lacking selenocysteine at its active site, as well as the evaluation of GPX4 inhibitors, such as RSL3, as a showcase. Furthermore, we apply this method to the second ferroptosis guardian, ferroptosis suppressor protein 1, to validate the newly identified ferroptosis inhibitor WIN62577. Together, these methods open up opportunities for evaluating alternative ferroptosis suppression mechanisms.
