The 42nd TI-FRIS Hub Meeting / 58th FRIS Hub Meeting (Hybrid event)

TI-FRIS Hub Meetings are held once a month at Tohoku University to foster researchers who understand and can utilize the importance of interdisciplinary research across disciplines and institutions.
 
Common sense and way of thinking cannot be expected among researchers in different fields. The audience is encouraged to ask questions during the presentation to discuss and deepen their understanding. Please participate actively.

 
 
・Date & Time: Every Friday of the month except August (16:00-17:00)
・Target Audience: TI-FRIS Fellows, researchers and students from TI-FRIS participating institutions

Presentation Title：Establishment of methods to search for compounds inhibiting iron-dependent cell death, known as ferroptosis, and their application in food extracts
 
Abstract：Cells are constantly exposed to reactive oxygen species (ROS) due to various stimuli. Excessive ROS cause oxidative damage and are involved in the development of disease such as lifestyle-related diseases. Cells have antioxidant systems in which antioxidant enzymes and antioxidants cooperatively eliminate ROS. Glutathione (GSH) is a major intracellular antioxidant, and its depletion induces to ferroptosis, characterized by the accumulation of lipid peroxides via the Fenton reaction catalyzed by ferrous iron. In this presentation, I will explain the GSH antioxidant system in cells against ROS and introduce methods to search for compounds that inhibit ferroptosis and their application in food extracts.
