KAT2B epigenetically activates GSTZ1 via H3K9ac to suppress proliferation and stemness and enhance ferroptosis in oral squamous cell carcinoma.

TL;DR

It is found that KAT2B transcriptionally activates GSTZ1 in a H3K9ac-dependent manner, which in turn inhibits GPX4 expression, thereby suppressing OSCC proliferation and stemness while enhancing ferroptosis sensitivity.

DKK1 Promotes Cisplatin Resistance in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma via SLC3A2‐Dependent Ferroptosis Suppression

ABSTRACT Background Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a prevalent malignancy associated with poor outcomes, largely attributable to cisplatin resistance—the standard chemotherapeutic agent. Aims While ferroptosis has been proposed as a promising therapeutic target, how it is regulated in OSCC remains largely uncle...

Targeting the KAT7/H3K14ac/RAC2 Axis Mediates OXPHOS to Promote Stemness Maintenance and Malignancy in Glioblastoma

ABSTRACT Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), the most lethal type of primary brain tumor, exhibits profound metabolic plasticity driven by glioma stem cells (GSCs), which sustain therapeutic resistance and tumor recurrence. Here, we elucidate a novel epigenetic‐metabolic axis mediated by the histone acetyltransferase KAT7 t...

KLF5-driven G6PD protects lung squamous cell carcinoma from ferroptosis by sustaining mitochondrial homeostasis and SLC7A11-dependent cystine uptake.

A KLF5-G6PD-SLC7A11 axis is identified as a critical metabolic safeguard against ferroptosis in LUSC, and targeting G6PD disrupts mitochondrial homeostasis, enhances mitophagy-dependent oxidative stress, and sensitizes tumors to ferroptotic therapy, highlighting a promising therapeutic strategy for LUSC.

METTL3 Promotes the Growth of Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Cells by Modulating Ferroptosis-Related Oxidative Stress via the ELF1/GPX4 Axis.

A novel METTL3/ELF1/GPX4 axis through which METTL3 promotes TNBC growth by regulating oxidative stress and ferroptosis-related markers is suggested, providing a basis for further investigation of this pathway in the context of TNBC biology and therapeutic development.

NFS1 activates PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling to upregulate GPX4 expression and enhance ferroptosis resistance in osteosarcoma

It is suggested that NFS1 functions as an oncogenic driver, as well as a promising prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target in osteosarcoma, and linking metabolic reprogramming to ferroptosis resistance, is suggested.
