It downregulates mitochondrial membrane potential, causing pro-apoptotic factors such as Bax, Bid, and Bak to bind to the mitochondrial membrane, disrupt it, release Cytc, and activate Caspase-9, which then activates Caspase-3, inducing cell death (148)
First, the molecular trigger specificity of oxalate-induced ferroptosis in renal tubular cells is undefinedhow oxalate precisely initiates the synergistic dysregulation of iron uptake (TFR1), lipid metabolism (ACSL4), and antioxidant defense (GPX4/SLC7A11) remains elusive, with no clarity on upstream signaling molecules or post-translational modifications that link oxalate exposure to ferroptosis machinery
Early years saw limited testing
