Gasdermin E (GSDME)-mediated pyroptosis, a form of programmed cell death, can be induced by chemotherapy drugs or certain kinase inhibitors. However, the role of Lenvatinib in inducing pyroptosis in HCC warrants further investigation. Phase contrast microscopy, LDH assays, and gain- and loss-of-function strategies were used to evaluate Lenvatinib-induced pyroptosis in HCC cells. GSDME palmitoylation was assessed via the acyl-biotin exchange method. In vivo, a subcutaneous HCC xenograft model in nude mice were established to assess the effects of interfering with GSDME on the sensitivity of HCC to Lenvatinib. Lenvatinib induced pyroptosis in HCC cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Additionally, Lenvatinib promoted GSDME cleavage, with upregulation of GSDME enhancing pyroptosis and downregulation reducing this effect. The ABE method revealed that GSDME is palmitoylated, and Lenvatinib increased its palmitoylation, promoting plasma membrane localization and enhancing protein stability. Inhibition of GSDME palmitoylation by 2-BP blocked Lenvatinib-induced pyroptosis. In vivo, upregulation of GSDME increased HCC sensitivity to Lenvatinib and inhibited tumor growth. Lenvatinib induces pyroptosis in HCC by promoting the palmitoylation of GSDME, enhancing its localization to the plasma membrane and increasing its protein stability. Interfering with GSDME, both in vitro and in vivo, affects Lenvatinib-induced pyroptosis, thereby altering the therapeutic sensitivity of HCC to Lenvatinib.

In this study we investigated the anti-oncogenic effects of two small peptides (FT-002 and FT-005) that upregulate FTH1 expression and downregulate TFRC expression when combined with standard androgen receptor pathway inhibitors (ARPIs) in xenograft models of PCa in male athymic nude mice.

Both peptides enhanced the anti-tumor efficacy of ARPI therapy. Efficacy was more marked with the combination of the second-generation APRI enzalutamide than the first-generation agent bicalutamide, a result consistent with known resistance mechanisms to different ARPI therapy. Further, the FT-peptide/enzalutamide combination drove tumor regression whereas enzalutamide monotherapy only slowed growth, even in the hormone-sensitive xenograft. The FT-002a-enzalutamide combination was more effective than FT-005 in reducing tumor mass and volume and modulating FTH1 and TFRC expression. The reversal by the peptides of this oncogenic expression pattern points to a reduction in the tumor free iron via increased iron storage in ferritin and a reduction in iron influx via the transferrin receptor.

Our risk model significantly outperformed conventional clinical parameters (pathology, grade, age, primary/recurrent status). Protein-protein interaction analysis incorporating HIF-1αand the 23-model genes identified XBP1 and VEGFA co-expression as significant positive prognostic factor. The immune infiltration analysis further indicated that M0 macrophages may participate in the regulation of the prognosis of VEGFA-XBP1.Hypoxia-induced ferroptosis modulation emerges as a prognostic factor in gliomas, with XBP1 and VEGFA representing druggable nodes for novel combination therapies.</p>","PeriodicalId":9536,"journal":{"name":"Cancer Biology & Therapy","volume":"26 1","pages":"2529643"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12239816/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144574882","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
