Targeting xCT rebalances lipid ROS generation during glioma ferroptosis. Fluorescence activated cell sorting-based analysis for cellular lipid ROS following 0.1 μm RSL3 application. Lipid ROS was monitored via C11-BODIPY staining. A higher C11-BODIPY positive population was observed in Nrf2 KD cells (8.81%) compared with Nrf2 OE cells (5.38%). Note, Nrf2 KD cells expressing enforced xCT showed decreased C11-BODIPY positive population (5.29%). In addition, when 400 μm sulfasalazine (SAS) applied together with 0.1 μm RSL3 in Nrf2 OE cells, C11-BODIPY positive population dramatically increased (31.14%) compare to the solely RSL3-treated group (5.38%). Oval circles indicate C11-BODIPY-positive cell population.
