6PPD-quinone disrupts the MARCHF2-EXOC7 ubiquitin axis to drive ferroptosis and redox imbalance in podocytes

levels, downregulation of GPX4, and accumulation of lipid peroxidation. A genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 knockout screen identified EXOC7 as a critical mediator of 6PPD-Q-induced podocyte injury. Mechanistically, 6PPD-Q disrupted the E3 ubiquitin ligase activity of MARCHF2, leading to r...
