Abstrakt: SignificanceEpstein-Barr virus (EBV) contributes to Burkitt lymphoma and post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD). EBV-transforming programs activate lipid metabolism to convert B cells into immortalized lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCL), a PTLD model. We found that stages of EBV transformation generate lipid reactive oxygen species (ROS) byproducts to varying degrees, and that a Burkitt-like phase of B cell outgrowth requires lipid ROS detoxification by glutathione peroxidase 4 and its cofactor glutathione. Perturbation of this redox defense in early stages of transformation or in Burkitt cells triggered ferroptosis, a programmed cell death pathway. LCLs were less dependent on this defense, a distinction tied to EBV latency programs. This highlights ferroptosis induction as a potential therapeutic approach for prevention or treatment of certain EBV+ lymphomas.
