In Vivo Model
Female 5-week-old athymic nude mice were obtained from Sun Yat-sen University. All mice were kept under specific-pathogen free conditions in the animal facility of Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Centre. Cancer cells were suspended and counted in 1 x DMEM, and 2 x 106 MDA-MB-231 cells were injected into mice subcutaneously. When the tumours reached 50-100 mm3, the mice were randomly assigned to different treatment groups. Tumours were irradiated with a JL Shepherd Mark I-68A irradiator at a dose of 10 Gy. Tub was dissolved in solvent containing 1% DMSO, 30% polyethylene glycol, 1% Tween 80 and 68% H2O and then subcutaneously administered to mice at a dose of 2.5 mg/kg once a day. Lipro-1 diluted in PBS was intraperitoneally injected daily at a dose of 10 mg/kg. Tub or Lipro-1 was administered three times before irradiation followed by continued daily administration until the endpoint, as indicated in the corresponding figures.

Response regulation Tubastatin A (Tub) as a novel GPX4 inhibitor that induced ferroptosis through large-scale drug screening. We showed that IR-mediated GPX4 expression restrained ferroptosis to drive radioresistance in breast cancer.
