For instance, PPI suppresses acute myeloid leukemia progression by activating the PI3K/SREBP-1/SCD1 axis to promote lipid oxidative damage and ferroptosis (Zhou et al., 2024).Yang and his team demonstrated that PPI induces ferroptosis in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells with elevating intracellular Fe2+ and ROS levels, depleting GSH, increasing malondialdehyde (MDA), and downregulating xCT and GPX4 expression. Here, SCD is linked to hepatocellular carcinoma.
