A Genome-Wide CRISPR/Cas9 Screen Reveals that Riboflavin Regulates Hydrogen Peroxide Entry into HAP1 Cells

ABSTRACT Extracellular hydrogen peroxide can induce oxidative stress, which can cause cell death if unresolved. However, the cellular mediators of H2O2-induced cell death are unknown. We determined that H2O2-induced cytotoxicity is an iron-dependent process in HAP1 cells and conducted a CRISPR/Cas9-...
