Summary: | In this study, we evaluated the cancer cell killing activity of koji mold-derived extracts using several solvents. The koji mold lipid extract (KML) exhibited potent cytotoxicity against a human leukemia cell line. Fractionation of the KML via silica gel chromatography revealed the presence of active components in fraction (Fr.) 6. Cytotoxic effects of Fr. 6 were inhibited by the ferroptosis inhibitors, ferrostatin-1 and SRS11-92, and the iron chelator, deferoxamine. Interestingly, ferroptosis inhibitors failed to prevent the KML-induced cell death. Fr. 6 decreased the expression of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPx4) and increased the level of peroxidized plasma membrane lipids. Furthermore, Fr. 6 decreased the intracellular glutathione levels. Overall, our results suggest that Fr. 6 included in KML induces ferroptosis in HL-60 cells. |
