Regulation of SLC7A11 as an unconventional checkpoint in tumorigenesis through ferroptosis

Abstract excerpt

Although cell-cycle arrest, senescence, and apoptosis are well accepted as the classic barriers in tumorigenesis, recent studies indicate that metabolic regulation is equally important as a major checkpoint in cancer development. It is well accepted that ferroptosis, an iron-dependent programmed cell death, acts as a new type of tumor suppression mechanism tightly linked with numerous metabolic pathways. SLC7A11...
