Metabolic consequences of erastin-induced ferroptosis in human ovarian cancer cells: an untargeted metabolomics study by Kaylie I. Kirkwood-Donelson, Alan K. Jarmusch, Carl D. Bortner, Bruce Alex Merrick, Birandra K. Sinha

“…Erastin (ER), a ferroptosis inducer, kills tumor cells by generating and accumulating reactive oxygen species (ROS) within the cell, resulting in an iron-dependent oxidative damage-mediated ferroptotic cell death.MethodsWe have utilized human ovarian cancer cell lines, OVCAR-8 and its adriamycin-selected, multi-drug resistance protein (MDR1)-expressing NCI/ADR-RES, both equally sensitive to ER, to identify metabolic biomarkers of ferroptosis.ResultsOur studies showed that ER treatment rapidly depleted cellular glutathione and cysteine and enhanced formation of ophthalamate (OPH) in both cells. …”
