Although PCBP1-deleted livers were iron-deficient, dietary iron supplementation did not prevent steatosis; instead, dietary iron restriction and antioxidant therapy with vitamin E prevented liver disease. PCBP1-deleted hepatocytes exhibited increased labile iron and production of reactive oxygen species, were hypersensitive to iron and prooxidants, and accumulated oxidatively-damaged lipids due to the reactivity of unchaperoned iron. CONCLUSIONS Unchaperoned iron in PCBP1-deleted mouse hepatocytes leads to production of reactive oxyg
