Experiment 1 Reporting the Ferroptosis Target of This Regulator [1]
Responsed Disease Head neck squamous cell carcinoma ICD-11: 2D60
Pathway Response Glutamate metabolism hsa00250
Ferroptosis hsa04216
Cell Process Cell ferroptosis
Cell proliferation
Cell migration
In Vitro Model
NH-3 cells Tongue squamous cell carcinoma Homo sapiens CVCL_8126
HN4 cells Clear cell renal cell carcinoma Homo sapiens CVCL_IS30
In Vivo Model
Six-week-old athymic BALB/c male nude mice (nu/nu) were purchased from OrientBio (Seoul, Republic of Korea). HN4 parental cells with transfection of vector control or shGPX4 were subcutaneously injected into the bilateral flank of nude mice. The same was performed in HN4 erPCC with transfection of control vector or shGPX4. Each group included six mice. In other experiments, HN4 parental cells with transfection of control vector or shMPC1 were injected to nude mice in the same way above. HN4 parental cells and erPCC without target gene silencing were also injected into nude mice. Each group included six mice. From the day when gross nodules were detected in tumor implants, mice were subjected to different treatments: vehicle or sulfasalazine (250 mg/kg daily per intraperitoneal route).

Response regulation The regulation of a KDM5A- MPC1 axis contributes to promoting ferroptosis susceptibility in head and neck cancer (HNC) cells, which might be recommended as a promising combination therapy in combating drug-tolerant persister cancer cells.
