GSH depletion causes ferroptosis in RPE cells To evaluate the mechanism of cell death in GSH-depleted cells, we treated RPE cells with various cell death pathway inhibitors including ferroptosis inhibitors ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1, 8 M), liproxstatin-1 (Lip-1, 600 nM), iron chelator deferoxamine (DFO, 80 M), pan-caspase inhibitor z-VAD-fmk (30 M) to inhibit apoptosis, autophagy inhibitor 3-methyladenine (3-MA, 10 mM), and lysosomal inhibitor bafilomycin A1 (Baf-A1, 75 nM)

It also works as a substrate for sirtuins - a family of seven proteins (SIRT1-SIRT7) found in different parts of cells
