Attenuated growth factor signaling during cell death initiation sensitizes membranes towards peroxidation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Cell death programs such as apoptosis and ferroptosis are associated with aberrant redox homeostasis linked to lipid metabolism and membrane function. Evidence for cross-talk between these programs is emerging. Here, we show that cytotoxic stress channels polyunsaturated fatty acids via lysophospholipid acyltransferase 12 into phospholipids that become susceptible to peroxidation under additional redox stress. This reprogramming is associated with altered acyl-CoA synthetase isoenzyme expression and caused by a decrease in growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK)-phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase signaling, resulting in suppressed fatty acid biosynthesis, for specific stressors via impaired Akt-SREBP1 activation. The reduced availability of de novo synthesized fatty acids favors the channeling of polyunsaturated fatty acids into phospholipids. Growth factor withdrawal by serum starvation mimics this phenotype, whereas RTK ligands counteract it. We conclude that attenuated RTK signaling during cell death initiation increases cells' susceptibility to oxidative membrane damage at the interface of apoptosis and alternative cell death programs.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
