Experiment 1 Reporting the Ferroptosis-centered Disease Response by This Target [1]
Target for Ferroptosis Marker/Driver
Responsed Disease Burkitt lymphoma [ICD-11: 2A85]
Responsed Drug Artesunate Investigative
Responsed Regulator Cyclic AMP-dependent transcription factor ATF-4 (ATF4) Driver
Pathway Response Ferroptosis hsa04216
Cell Process Cell ferroptosis
Cell proliferation
In Vitro Model Daudi cells Burkitt lymphoma Homo sapiens CVCL_0008
CA46 cells Burkitt lymphoma Homo sapiens CVCL_1101
In Vivo Model
Four -week-old NOD/SCID mice were purchased from Chu Shang Technology (Kunming, China). CA-46 cells were collected and re-suspended in PBS at a concentration of 1-5 x 107 cells/mL. Totally, 0.2 mL cells were inoculated subcutaneously in the middle and posterior armpits of mice. When the transplanted tumor was established, the mice were injected the artesunate solution intraperitoneally in accordance with the body weight (200 mg/kg) daily.

Response regulation Artesunate induced ferroptosis in different types of Burkitt's lymphoma cells, and caused a significant ERS response in tumor cells. The activation of the ATF4-CHOP-CHAC1 pathway up-regulated the expression of CHAC1 and degraded intracellular GSH, thus weakening the ability of lymphoma cells to resist ferroptosis.
