Abstract

Ferroptosis is a regulatory cell death process that is accompanied by large amounts of iron ion accumulation and lipid peroxidation. Photoactivated ribonucleoside-enhanced crosslinking and immunoprecipitation (PAR-CLIP) is a method used to identify the binding sites of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) on target RNAs with high resolution at the nucleotide level. By inserting photosensitive ribonucleoside analogs into new RNA transcripts of living cells, characteristic mutations can be generated during reverse transcription and be used to accurately locate the crosslinking position of RNAs and RBPs. The use of PAR-CLIP to detect interactions and determine precise crosslinking sites between RNAs and RBPs, or to search for RNAs upstream or downstream of ferroptosis pathways genes through known proteins, can help to clarify and verify the occurrence and regulation mechanisms of the various signaling pathways of ferroptosis. Furthermore, it may reveal new targets for ferroptosis detection and improve the treatment efficiency of ferroptosis-related diseases such as cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. Here, we introduce a specific PAR-CLIP protocol for monitoring the ferroptosis process.
