Simvastatin Restores Cisplatin Sensitivity by Suppressing the Caveolin-1-Mediated PI3K/AKT Signaling Pathway in Cisplatin-Resistant Cervical Cancer Cells. (PubMed, FASEB J)
In cervical cancer cisplatin-resistant cell lines (SiHa-DDP and C33a-DDP) constructed from their parental cells, the effects of seven statins (simvastatin, fluvastatin, pitavastatin, lovastatin, atorvastatin, rosuvastatin, and pravastatin) on cell viability in cisplatin-resistant cells and corresponding parental cells were assessed using the CCK-8 assay...In all, simvastatin enhanced cisplatin sensitivity by suppressing the CAV1-mediated PI3K/AKT pathway involvement in the development of cisplatin resistance in cervical cancer cells. These findings reveal a novel mechanism in cervical cancer cells resistant to cisplatin by which simvastatin may serve as a potential adjuvant to improve the therapeutic efficacy of cisplatin-based chemotherapy.

TRAPPC4 Promotes GPX4 Stability to Drive Ferroptosis Resistance and Tumor Progression in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma. (PubMed, Cancer Res)
Notably, pitavastatin calcium synergized with the ferroptosis inducer RSL3 to enhance ferroptotic activity and suppress HNSCC progression. These findings delineate a TRAPPC4-FOS-TRIM55-GPX4 signaling axis that drives ferroptosis resistance and tumor progression and highlight TRAPPC4 as a promising therapeutic target for ferroptosis-based intervention in HNSCC.
