Figures & data

Figure 1. Ferroptotic damage promotes Kras-driven pancreatic tumorigenesis by macrophage polarization. The induction of ferroptotic damage by high-iron diets or Gpx4 depletion in pancreatic acinar cells promotes the release of nuclear DNA containing 8-hydroxy-2ʹ-deoxyguanosine (8-OHG) into the cytosol and thus activates the STING1-dependent DNA sensor pathway, resulting in macrophage infiltration and polarization during Kras-driven PDAC in mice
