Thus, ferroptosis sensitivity offers promising insights for the development of targeted therapeutic interventions for aggressive PCa.

Here, we investigated the anticancer effects of ferroptosis inducers erastin and RSL3 on non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells...The sensitivity of NSCLC cells to RSL3 induced death was dependent on GPX4 expression levels; the effect of RSL3 was reversed by ferrostatin-1 (a ferroptosis inhibitor) but not by Z-VAD-FMK, chloroquine, bafilomycin A1, or necrostatin-1...Taken together, RSL3-induced ferroptosis depends on the regulation of GPX4-Nrf2/HO1 in NSCLC cells. These results may be useful in predicting the ferroptosis response in NSCLC as well as drug resistant cancer cells.

In addition, PB can also suppresses tumor growth in an orthotopic mouse model of GC via regulating the expression of GPx4, TFR1, NOCA4 and FTH1 in vivo.
