Absence of Glutathione Peroxidase 4 Affects Tumor Angiogenesis through Increased 12/15-Lipoxygenase Activity

The selenoenzyme glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPx4) has been described to control specific cyclooxygenases (COXs) and lipoxygenases (LOXs) that exert substantiated functions in tumor growth and angiogenesis. Therefore, we hypothesized a putative regulatory role of GPx4 during tumor progression and crea...
