SLC7A11 cDNA-containing expression vectors were described in previous publications 14 (link), 22 (link), 43 (link). G6PD shRNA constructs in GIPZ vector and G6PD cDNA were obtained from the Functional Genomics Core Facility of The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. G6PD cDNA was subsequently cloned into the lentivirus vector pCDH-hygromycin with C-terminal Myc tag. All constructs were confirmed by DNA sequencing. D-[1, 2-13C2] glucose (#GLC-026), 2-deoxy-D-[1-2H] glucose, and D-[3-2H] glucose (#GLC-034) were obtained from Omicro Biochemical. L-[1, 2, 1’, 2’−14C]-Cystine (#NEC854010UC) was from Perkine Elmer. Epiandrosterone (#CS-5183) was obtained from Chemscene. Following reagents were obtained from Sigma: BAY-876 (#SML1774–25MG), L-Glutamine-13C5 (#605166–100MG), N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC) (#A9165), 2-Deoxy-D-glucose (#D8375–1G), Sulfasalazine (#S0883–10G), D-Penicillamine (#P4875), L-Penicillamine (#196312), Trolox (#238813), 4-Hydroxy-TEMPO (#176141), Tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine hydrochloride(TCEP) (#C4706), 2-Mercaptoethanol (2ME) (#M6250), Deferoxamine mesylate salt (DFO) (#D9533), Ferrostatin-1 (#SML0583), 6-Aminonicotinamide (#A68203–1G), Methyl cellulose (#M0512–100G), TWEEN 80 (# P1754–500ML). All reagents were dissolved according to manufacturers’ instructions.
