Popis: AIM: To investigate the occurrence and possible mechanism of blue light-induced ferroptosis in retinal pigment epithelial cells.METHODS: ARPE-19 cells cultured in vitro were irradiated by 405 nm blue light at 50 mW/cm2 irradiance with different duration and were divided into control, 16.3J/cm2, 32.6J/cm2, and 65.2J/cm2 groups; the 65.2J/cm2 group was defined as the high-level blue light irradiation group and cells were further divided into control, high-level blue light irradiation group and high-level blue light irradiation + ferroptosis inhibitor group. CCK-8 assay was used to detect cell viability, commercial kits were used to detect intracellular glutathione(GSH), ferrous iron and malondialdehyde(MDA)concentration, and Western blot was used to detect the relative expression of glutathione peroxidase 4(GPX4)and xCT proteins in cells.RESULTS: The decrease of ARPE-19 cell viability caused by blue light irradiation was dose-dependent, and the reduction of intracellular GSH concentration, the increase of ferrous iron concentration and MDA concentration were all caused by high-level blue light irradiation(all P
