Immunohistochemistry and western blotting were used to assess the expression of TMEM16A in HSCC tissues and metastatic lymph nodes. Manipulation of TMEM16A expression levels was achieved in the FaDu cell line through overexpression or knockdown, followed by assessment of its biological effects using cell colony formation, wound healing, transwell and invasion assays. Additionally, apoptosis and autophagy-related proteins, as well as autophagosome formation, were evaluated through western blotting, transmission electron microscopy and immunofluorescence following TMEM16A knockdown or overexpression in FaDu cells.

In vitro experiments demonstrated that silencing TMEM16A led to a notable suppression of HSCC cell proliferation, invasion and migration. Furthermore, TMEM16A silencing effectively inhibited tumor growth in xenografted mice. Subsequent investigations indicated that knockdown of TMEM16A in HSCC cells could suppress mTOR activation, thereby triggering autophagic cell death by upregulating sequestosome-1 (SQSTM1/P62) and microtubule-associated protein light chain 3 II (LC3II).

Herein, CAP and DDP showed synergistic cytotoxic effects on NPC cells. CAP alone and DDP alone inhibited NPC migration and invasion in vitro and in vivo, and the combination of CAP and DDP had the greatest effect. Moreover, CAP upregulated the mRNA and protein expressions of serpin family B member 2 (SERPINB2). Further results showed that both SERPINB2 mRNA and protein expressions were downregulated in NPC cell lines and tissues and SERPINB2 overexpression inhibited NPC migration and invasion in vitro and in vivo, while silencing SERPINB2 acted oppositely. In addition, SERPINB2 was abnormally expressed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and other multiple cancers, and downregulation of SERPINB2 predicted poor prognosis in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma according to the Cancer Genome Atlas database. We further found that SERPINB2 overexpression inhibited epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and the phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase (p-ERK), and the inhibitory effect was enhanced by CAP and DDP.

In this study, we found that KB-1460A1.5 can induce ferroptosis in glioma and enhance sensitivity to RSL3, a ferroptosis inducer. Tandem mass tag proteomics and nontargeted metabolomics suggest that KB-1460A1.5 affects polyunsaturated fatty acid metabolic processes. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry-based medium- and long-chain fatty acid-targeted metabolomics confirmed that upregulation of KB-1460A1.5 decreased the levels of monounsaturated fatty acids, oleic acid (OA) and palmitoleic acid (PO) in glioma cells. The addition of OA and PO restored KB-1460A1.5-induced cellular ferroptosis. Molecularly, KB-1460A1.5 inhibited the mammalian target of rapamycin signalling pathway to suppress the expression of downstream sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1 (SREBP-1), thereby attenuating the stearoyl-CoA desaturase-1 (SCD1)-mediated desaturation of polyunsaturated fatty acids.

Applying this approach to our NCI-UMD-German and a validation cohort, we identified LIM Domain Only 3 (LMO3), a transcription co-factor, as a candidate suppressor of the basal-like/squamous subtype. Reduced LMO3 expression was significantly associated with higher pathological grade, advanced disease stage, induction of the basal-like/squamous subtype and decreased survival among PDAC patients. In vitro experiments demonstrated that LMO3 transgene expression inhibited PDAC cell proliferation and migration/invasion, concurrently downregulating the basal-like/squamous gene signature.
