Abstract
Background: Existing research shows inducing ferroptosis can improve the effectiveness of tumor treatment. Glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) is a ferroptosis inhibitor. Solute carrier family 7, membrane 11 (SLC7A11) plays a key role in glutathione homeostasis, which is important for protecting cells from oxidative stress. β-catenin is the key protein the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. The purpose of this study was to investigate the expression of SLC7A11 and GPX4 in colorectal cancer (CRC) and their relationship with β-catenin and to analyze the association of these two factors with several clinicopathological features and patient survival.
Methods: This study retrospectively collected paraffin-embedded tissue samples from 120 CRC patients, who received surgical resection between 2017 and 2018. We examined the patterns of expression of SLC7A11, GPX4 and β-catenin by using immunohistochemistry. Analyzing the relationships between SLC7A11, GPX4, β-catenin and clinical pathological parameters and their relationships with overall survival (OS).
Results: Expression of SLC7A11 and GPX4 were high expression in 60.83% and 64.17% among the patients, respectively, and were higher than those in normal tissue. SLC7A11, GPX4 and β-catenin were positively correlated with each other (P<0.05). Expression of SLC7A11 and GPX4 significantly correlates with tumor stage and lymph node metastasis (P < 0.05). The β-catenin was related to lymph node metastasis, TNM stage and tumor grade. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that patient's OS in the SLC7A11 and GPX4 were reduced (P<0.05). Univariate and multivariate analyses showed that SLC7A11 and GPX4 were independent risk factors for CRC prognosis.
Conclusion: SLC7A11 and GPX4 overexpression is associated with β-catenin and poor prognosis and may be important for predicting CRC invasion, metastasis, and prognosis.

Cancer Management and Research is an international, peer reviewed, open access journal focusing on cancer research and the optimal use of preventative and integrated treatment interventions to achieve improved outcomes, enhanced survival, and quality of life for cancer patients. Specific topics covered in the journal include:
◦Epidemiology, detection and screening
◦Cellular research and biomarkers
◦Identification of biotargets and agents with novel mechanisms of action
◦Optimal clinical use of existing anticancer agents, including combination therapies
◦Radiation and surgery
◦Palliative care
◦Patient adherence, quality of life, satisfaction
The journal welcomes submitted papers covering original research, basic science, clinical & epidemiological studies, reviews & evaluations, guidelines, expert opinion and commentary, and case series that shed novel insights on a disease or disease subtype.
