Response regulation Lycium barbarum polysaccharide (LBP) effectively inhibited proliferation of breast cancer cells and promoted ferroptosis by modulation of the xCT/GPX4 pathway. GPX4 inactivity and repression of SLC7A11 (the gene for xCT) result in ROS accumulation, thereby modulating ferroptosis.
