The accumulation of lipid peroxides is recognized as a determinant of the occurrence of ferroptosis. However, the sensors and amplifying process of lipid peroxidation linked to ferroptosis remain obscure. Here we identify PKC beta II as a critical contributor of ferroptosis through independent genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 and kinase inhibitor library screening. Our results show that PKC beta II senses the initial lipid peroxides and amplifies lipid peroxidation linked to ferroptosis through phosphorylation and activation of ACSL4. Lipidomics analysis shows that activated ACSL4 catalyses polyunsaturated fatty acid-containing lipid biosynthesis and promotes the accumulation of lipid peroxidation products, leading to ferroptosis. Attenuation of the PKC beta II-ACSL4 pathway effectively blocks ferroptosis in vitro and impairs ferroptosis-associated cancer immunotherapy in vivo. Our results identify PKC beta II as a sensor of lipid peroxidation, and the lipid peroxidation-PKC beta II-ACSL4 positive-feedback axis may provide potential targets for ferroptosis-associated disease treatment.Through CRISPR-Cas9 and kinase inhibitor screening, Zhang et al. show that PKC beta II phosphorylates and activates ACSL4 to enhance polyunsaturated fatty acid-containing lipid biosynthesis, thereby promoting accumulation of lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis.
