GPX4 overexpression

This study utilizes a doxycycline inducible GPx4 overexpression model to test this hypothesis...Moreover, analysis of patient derived GBM cells reveal that cell growth rates, plating efficiency, and Young's modulus are all inversely proportional to GPx4 expression. Therefore, GPx4 appears to be a biophysical regulator of GBM cell growth that warrants further mechanistic investigation in its role in GBM progression.

Univariate and multivariate analyses showed that SLC7A11 and GPX4 were independent risk factors for CRC prognosis. SLC7A11 and GPX4 overexpression is associated with β-catenin and poor prognosis and may be important for predicting CRC invasion, metastasis, and prognosis.

In vivo, ML385 also promoted the killing effect of radiation on xenografted tumours in nude mice. This study identifies NRF2 inhibitor ML385 as a radiosensitizer of ESCC, which highlights the therapeutic potential of the NRF2-SLC7A11 pathway and provides a deeper understanding of the mechanism of ferroptosis in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

Moreover, enzalutamide-resistant C4-2B MDVR cells display higher HMGA2 levels compared to C4-2B cells, as well as sensitivity to RSL3 ferroptosis inducer, which is partially reversed by ferroptosis inhibitor, ferrostatin-1. Moreover, HMGA2-expressing cells including enzalutamide-resistant cells are susceptible to RSL-3-induced ferroptosis. Thus, ferroptosis sensitivity offers promising insights for the development of targeted therapeutic interventions for aggressive PCa.

Further, LK-A promoted the GBM ferroptotic alterations and inhibited GBM progression in both subcutaneous and orthotopic xenograft mouse models, whereas GPX4 overexpression largely abrogated its anti-GBM effects both in vitro and in vivo, suggesting that LK-A inductions of the DNA methylation-incurred GPX4 suppression and ferroptosis are crucial for its anti-GBM functions. Together, our study has elaborated an important epigenetic pathway of GBM ferroptosis and uncovered a critical pharmacological property of LK-A for treating GBM patients.

The generation of ROS mediated by IrC, along with the direct inhibition of GPX4 and glutathione, synergistically increased cellular oxidative stress and the level of lipid peroxidation. This study provides an effective approach for small molecule complexes to induce GPX4-dependent ferroptosis at low-dose photodynamic therapy.

It suggests that SELENOI prevents ferroptosis independent of GPX4. Taken together, these findings strongly support the notion that SELENOI functions as a novel suppressor of ferroptosis during colitis and colon tumorigenesis.

Here, we revealed the contribution of F. nucleatum to oxaliplatin resistance by inhibiting ferroptosis in CRC. Targeting F. nucleatum and ferroptosis will provide valuable insight into chemoresistance management and may improve outcomes for patients with CRC.

However, these ferroptotic effects were ameliorated by deferoxamine and N-acetylcysteine. Additionally, AA-induced inhibition of cell growth and ferroptosis was suppressed by STAT3 and GPX4 overexpression, respectively. In summary, AA inhibited oropharyngeal cancer cell growth in vitro by regulating STAT3/GPX4-mediated ferroptosis, which may provide a novel theoretical basis for the clinical treatment of oropharyngeal cancer with AA.

Thus, down-regulation of BCCIP expression and overexpression of GPX4 are indicatives of progression of ccRCC with poor prognosis. Hence, the control of expression of these proteins can be considered as a novel target for the treatment of ccRCC.

The present study demonstrated for the first time that BBR induced ferroptosis in NPC cells by increasing reactive oxygen species, lipid peroxidation and cellular Fe and that the ferroptosis inhibitors Ferrostatin-1 and Deferoxamine mesylate rescued BBR-induced NPC cell death...Finally, BBR-mediated inhibition of NPC metastasis was validated in vivo using a mouse model. Taken together, our data suggest that BBR induced ferroptosis of NPC cells via suppressing the system Xc/GSH/GPX4 axis, provides new insights into the mechanism of BBR anti-NPC metastasis.

LncRNA-XIST increases the activity of lung adenocarcinoma cells and inhibits ferroptosis by up-regulating GPX4. Knocking down LncRNA-XIST may be an effective treatment for lung adenocarcinoma.
