- AMP-activated protein kinase-driven lipid droplet dynamics govern melanoma sensitivity to polyunsaturated fatty acid and iron-induced ferroptosis.

Using a panel of melanoma cell lines, we uncover variability in the timing of ferroptosis onset upon exposure to iron and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). This heterogeneity is linked to differences in PUFA sequestration into lipid droplets (LDs) and their subcellular distribution, particularly near lipid-metabolizing organelles such as mitochondria. In late-onset models, ferroptosis is delayed by peripheral LD retention and triggered by nutrient deprivation and AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activation, which promotes LD trafficking toward mitochondria. Early responders bypass this mechanism. Our findings identify nutrient status and LD dynamics as key modulators of PUFA- and iron-induced ferroptosis, offering insights for therapeutic exploitation in cancer.
