Experiment 1 Reporting the Ferroptosis Target of This Regulator [1]
Target for Ferroptosis Suppressor
Responsed Disease Hepatocellular carcinoma ICD-11: 2C12
Responsed Drug Sorafenib Investigative
Pathway Response Ferroptosis hsa04216
Fatty acid metabolism hsa01212
Cell Process Cell ferroptosis
Cell apoptosis
Cell proliferation
In Vitro Model
SK-HEP-1 cells Liver and intrahepatic bile duct epithelial neoplasm Homo sapiens CVCL_0525
Hep-G2 cells Hepatoblastoma Homo sapiens CVCL_0027
HCCLM3 cells Adult hepatocellular carcinoma Homo sapiens CVCL_6832
Huh-7 cells Hepatocellular carcinoma Homo sapiens CVCL_0336
L-02 cells Endocervical adenocarcinoma Homo sapiens CVCL_6926
In Vivo Model
BALB/c nude mice (4-6 weeks old) from Beijing Vital River Laboratory Animal Technology (Beijing, China) were reared in a standard laboratory with free access to food and water. Lentivirus LV-sh-NC and LV-sh-HCG18 were from GenePharma (Shanghai, China). In order to establish subcutaneous xenograft tumor models, Huh7-SR cells were infected with lentivirus LV-sh-NC or LV-sh-HCG18 and then resuspended in PBS at 5 x 105/mL. Totally 100 uL cells were subcutaneously injected into the right dorsal area of each nude mouse. When the tumor volume reached 150 mm3, sorafenib (10 mg/kg) was orally administered to nude mice once a day to the end. Tumor volume (V) was calculated: V = 0.5 x L x W2, where L and W were defined as tumor length (L) and width (W). After 28 days of cell injection, the nude mice were euthanized by intraperitoneal injection of excessive pentobarbital sodium (100 mg/kg).

Response regulation HCG18 sponged miR-450b-5p to regulate GPX4. Collectively, Silencing HCG18 inhibits GPX4 by binding to miR-450b-5p, promotes GPX4-inhibited ferroptosis, and averts sorafenib resistance in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Silencing HCG18 inhibited cell proliferation, promoted apoptosis, and impaired sorafenib resistance.
