Cystine transporter SLC7A11/xCT in cancer: ferroptosis, nutrient dependency, and cancer therapy

TL;DR: Diverse regulatory mechanisms of SLC7A11 in cancer are summarized, ferroptosis-dependent and -independent functions of S LC7A 11 in promoting tumor development are discussed, the mechanistic basis of SLP11-induced nutrient dependency in cancer cells is explored, and therapeutic strategies to target SLC 7A11 are conceptualized.
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of ferroptosis in ionizing radiation-induced cell death and tumor suppression.

TL;DR: This study reveals a previously unrecognized link between IR and ferroptosis and indicates that further exploration of the combination of radiotherapy and FINs in cancer treatment is warranted.
Journal ArticleDOI

DHODH-mediated ferroptosis defence is a targetable vulnerability in cancer.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that treatment of cancer cells with GPX4 inhibitors results in acute depletion of N-carbamoyl-L-aspartate, a pyrimidine biosynthesis intermediate, with concomitant accumulation of uridine.
Journal ArticleDOI

Amino acid transporter SLC7A11/xCT at the crossroads of regulating redox homeostasis and nutrient dependency of cancer.

TL;DR: A deeper understanding of SLC7A11 in cancer metabolism may identify new therapeutic opportunities to target this important amino acid transporter for cancer treatment.
