“…In line with previous studies [ 22 , 50 , 51 ], we then showed that UBIAD1 KD -dependent depletion of plasma membrane CoQ10 blocks cell proliferation and triggers ROS increase, lipid peroxidation and apoptotic cell death in melanoma cells. Importantly, redox lipid balance, DNA damage and viability of UBIAD1 KD cells were rescued by restoring the antioxidant potential of plasma membranes through idebenone treatment.…”
