Loss of PERK function promotes ferroptosis by downregulating SLC7A11 (System Xc⁻) in colorectal cancer
28 Jul 2023
Abstract excerpt
Ferroptosis, a genetically and biochemically distinct form of programmed cell death, is characterised by an iron-dependent accumulation of lipid peroxides. Therapy-resistant tumor cells display vulnerability toward ferroptosis. Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) stress and Unfolded Protein Response (UPR) play a critical role in cancer cells to become therapy resistant. Tweaking the balance of UPR to make cancer cells...
