In Vivo Model
For xenograft assays, we subcutaneously injected 1 x 106 PANC-1 and CFPAC-1 into the right side of each male nude mouse (n = 6). Tumor volumes (length x width2 x 0.5) were measured at specified time points. For one treatment cycle in a week (starting from week 1 to week 5), solasonine (40 or 80 mg/kg, oral administration, 2 times) were given. A total of five treatment cycles were conducted in this experiment.

Response regulation Solasonine is involved in ferroptosis by suppressing TFAP2A-mediated transcriptional upregulation of OTUB1, thereby activating ubiquitinated degradation of SLC7A11 and promoting pancreatic cancer cell ferroptosis.

In Vivo Model
BALB/c nude mice aged 4-6 weeks, weighing 15~20 g, were purchased from Shanghai SLAC Laboratory Animal Co.,Ltd (Shanghai, China). Following acclimation, the right flank of each experimental mouse was subcutaneously injected with HepG2 cells (2 x 106) suspended in PBS (200 uL) and then randomly assigned to: (i) the control group and received no further treatment or (ii) the intervention group and received solasonine (50 mg/kg body weight) in an equal volume of PBS. Tumor volumes were measured every 5 days. After 30 days, the mice were sacrificed and the tumors were resected, weighed, and processed for histological analysis.

Response regulation Solasonine increased lipid ROS levels in HepG2 cells by suppression of GPX4 and GSS. However, the use of a ferroptosis inhibitor reversed solasonine-induced ROS production and cell apoptosis. Taken together, solasonine promotes ferroptosis of hepatocellular carcinoma cells via GPX4-induced destruction of the glutathione redox system.
