Disulfidptosis occurs as a result of the accumulation of intracellular cystine followed by disulfide stress in actin cytoskeleton proteins due to a reduction of NADPH produced through the pentose phosphate pathway in cells with high expression of SLC7A11. It is a cell death caused by the redox imbalance resulting from the disruption of amino acid metabolism and glucose metabolism. The discovery of disulfidptosis has sparked immense enthusiasm, but there are numerous unresolved issues that need to be addressed. Solutions to these riddles will provide insights into the detailed mechanisms and the pathophysiological relevance of disulfidptosis and utilizing disulfidptosis as an actionable therapeutic target.
