Squamous intraepithelial lesion of cervix (SIL) in human papillomavirus (HPV)-positive patient often undergoes a silent and long-course development, and most of them with high-grade transit to cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC). The oxysterol 25-hydroxycholesterol (25-HC) is associated with HPV inhibition, autophagy and cholesterol synthesis, however, its function in this long process of SIL development remain unclear. In this study, we demonstrate that 25-HC generation is inhibited through HSIL-to-CSCC transition. The 25-HC activates ferritinophagy in the early stage of SIL, promoting the vulnerability of HSILs to ferroptosis. Therefore, maintaining 25-HC level is crucial for suppressing HSIL progression ...
