In total 1 item(s) under this target
Experiment 1 Reporting the Ferroptosis Target of This Regulator [1]
Target for Ferroptosis Suppressor
Responsed Disease Colorectal cancer ICD-11: 2B91
Responsed Drug Metformin Investigative
Pathway Response Fatty acid metabolism hsa01212
Cell Process Cell ferroptosis
Cell proliferation
In Vitro Model
RKO cells Colon carcinoma Homo sapiens CVCL_0504
SW480 cells Colon adenocarcinoma Homo sapiens CVCL_0546
SW620 cells Colon adenocarcinoma Homo sapiens CVCL_0547
LoVo cells Colon adenocarcinoma Homo sapiens CVCL_0399

HCT 15 cells Colon adenocarcinoma Homo sapiens CVCL_0292
DLD-1 cells Colon adenocarcinoma Homo sapiens CVCL_0248
FHC cells Normal Homo sapiens CVCL_3688
In Vivo Model
A total 1 x 106 SW620-vector or SW620-FAM98A cells were suspended in 100 ul PBS and injected s.c. into the back of 4- to 6-week-old male BALB/cnude mice (Laboratory Animal Unit, Southern Medical University, China). The sizes of the resulting tumors were measured weekly. Tumor volumes were calculated as follows: total tumor volume (mm3) = (Length x Width2)/2, where Length is the longest length. When the tumor sizes reached about 200 mm3, nude mice in the four groups were given PBS or 5-FU treatment (30 mg/kg, intraperitoneal injection, twice a week), respectively. Nude mice were maintained in a barrier facility in racks filtered with a high-efficiency particulate air filter.

Response regulation The expressions of FAM98A and SLC7A11 were also downregulated after metformin treatment. And FAM98A is predominantly expressed in the colorectal cancer tissues and high FAM98A expression is usually accompanied by the high expression of SLC7A11, which usually means ferroptosis resistance.
