In Vivo Model
Ten BALB/c nude mice (male, 4 weeks old, 18.0 ± 2.0 g) were randomly divided into two groups for the in vivo xenograft assay. Mice were injected with 5 x 106 RKO cells with stable overexpression GPX4 (described Lv-GPX4 group), control vector (described Lv-NC group). Cells were subcutaneously injected into the right anterior axilla of mice in both groups. Mice then received HNK (0.5 mg/kg/w) by intraperitoneal injection for 4 weeks. The subcutaneous tumor volumes in the nude mice in the two groups were recorded every two days.

Response regulation Honokiol reduced the viability of Colon cancer (CC) cell lines by increasing ROS and Fe2+levels. HNK decreased the activity of Glutathione Peroxidase 4 (GPX4) but did not affect system Xc-. Thus, HNK can induce ferroptosis in CC cells by reducing the activity of GPX4.

Response regulation Honokiol decreased the viability of the targeted Acute myeloid leukemia cells, induced their cell cycle arrest at G0/G1 phase, and inhibited their colony-formation capacity. Honokiol also triggers a noncanonical ferroptosis pathway in THP-1 and U-937 cells by upregulating the level of intracellular lipid peroxide and HMOX1 significantly. And HMOX1 was a critical target in honokiol-induced ferroptosis.
