Lipophagy in ferroptosis. Lipophagy refers to the autophagic clearance of lipid droplets, which function as storage organelles for neutral lipids. RAB7A, associated with lipid droplets, drives lipophagy and promotes subsequent ferroptosis. The formation of lipid droplets, mediated by TPD52 and PLTP, antagonizes lipophagy-dependent ferroptosis. In contrast, PGRMC1 triggers lipophagy-dependent ferroptosis. PUFA, polyunsaturated fatty acid.
