Overall, our results elucidated that TEAD4-driven GPX8 suppresses mitochondrial oxidative stress in TMZ-resistant cells through activation of the CTHRC1/p38 MAPK/FOXO3 pathway, which promotes TMZ resistance in GBM cells. These findings suggest that GPX8 may serve as a novel therapeutic target for overcoming TMZ resistance in GBM.
This study demonstrated that GPX8 is a critical oncogene in OS progression and that its expression is regulated by KLF16. Targeting the KLF16/GPX8 axis may offer promising prospects for the development of novel therapeutic strategies against OS.
Furthermore, high GPX8 expression was found to be correlated with a higher degree of CD4+ T cell-infiltrating in COAD and neutrophil-infiltrating in STAD, indicating that GPX8 may play a role in immune evasion in cancer progression. This study highlights the potential of GPX8 as a prognostic marker in STAD and COAD, providing valuable insight into the development of personalized treatment strategies for cancer patients.
The findings from this study demonstrate the anticancer activity of GPX8 in HCC by inactivating the Hsc70/AKT pathway. The results suggest a possible therapeutic target for HCC.
This study elucidates the association between GPX8+ CAFs and poor prognosis, as well as the induction of immunosuppressive formation in LUAD. These findings suggest that targeting GPX8+ CAFs could potentially serve as a therapeutic strategy for the treatment of LUAD.
Thus, TP-0903 and ZEB1 knockdown sensitised TNBC cells to ART, likely via different pathways. Synergistic interactions between TP-0903 and ART indicate that combination approaches involving these compounds can have therapeutic prospects for TNBC treatment.
The incorporation of pan-apoptosis-related features shows promising potential for clinical applications in predicting tumor progression and advancing immunotherapeutic strategies. However, further in vitro and in vivo investigations are necessary to validate the tumorigenic and immunogenic processes associated with GPX8 in gliomas.
Moreover, except for gpx1, which displayed no gender differences, the relative expression values of gpx2, gpx3, gpx6, gpx7, and gpx8 were significantly higher in the male animals compared to their female counterparts. Hence, the analysis of glutathione peroxidase isoforms may serve as a valuable approach for discerning the behavior of brain tumors in clinical settings.
