Responsed Disease Hereditary Leiomyomatosis ICD-11: 2C90
Pathway Response Fatty acid metabolism hsa01212
Ferroptosis hsa04216
Hippo signaling pathway hsa04390
Cell Process Cell ferroptosis
In Vitro Model
RCC4 cells Clear cell renal cell carcinoma Homo sapiens CVCL_0498
786-O cells Renal cell carcinoma Homo sapiens CVCL_1051
HEK-293T cells Normal Homo sapiens CVCL_0063
MDA-MB-231 cells Breast adenocarcinoma Homo sapiens CVCL_0062
In Vivo Model
One million 786O cells with or without shTAZ were implanted subcutaneously into the healthy 8-week-old JAX NOD.CB17-PrkdcSCID-J mice; both male and female mice were used. Once tumor volume reached 120 mm3, mice were randomized into control or erastin treatment group. The vehicle (ORA-plus) or erastin (0.1 ml of 4 mg/ml erastin) was administrated by oral gavage twice daily for 20 days.

Response regulation Cell density-regulated ferroptosis is mediated by TAZ through the regulation of EMP1-NOX4, suggesting its therapeutic potential for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and other TAZ-activated tumors.
