To investigate the impact of Wdr4 on the metabolic reprogramming of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), we established an orthotopic HCC model in Wdr4-f/f and Wdr4 conditional knockout (Wdr4-cKO) mice. TAMs were subsequently isolated via flow cytometry-based cel...
Hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) mutations can result in clonal hematopoiesis (CH) with heterogeneous clinical outcomes. Here, we investigated how the cell state preceding Tet2 mutation impacts the pre-malignant phenotype. Using an inducible system for clonal analysis of myeloid progenitors...
Ferroptosis is mediated by lipid peroxidation of phospholipids containing polyunsaturated fatty acyl moieties. Glutathione, the key cellular antioxidant capable of inhibiting lipid peroxidation via the activity of the enzyme glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX-4), is generated directly from the sulfur-...
