OTUD3-mediated stabilization of SLC7A11 drives sunitinib resistance by suppressing ferroptosis in clear cell renal cell carcinoma
Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), as the main type of RCC was treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) at the late stage. While drug resistance is the main challenge for TKIs like sunitinib, and the underline mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we found that OTUD3 is over-expressed in ccRCC and promotes sunitinib resistance in tumor cells. OTUD3 deubiquitinates the cystine/glutamate transporter SLC7A11 and protect it from proteasome degradation, which promotes cystine transport into cells and reduces intracellular ROS levels, thereby inhibiting sunitinib-induced ferroptosis. Our findings suggest that targeting OTUD3 could be a potential strategy to enhance ferroptosis and improve the therapeutic efficacy of sunitinib in ccRCC.
期刊介绍:
Cancer Letters is a reputable international journal that serves as a platform for significant and original contributions in cancer research. The journal welcomes both full-length articles and Mini Reviews in the wide-ranging field of basic and translational oncology. Furthermore, it frequently presents Special Issues that shed light on current and topical areas in cancer research.
Cancer Letters is highly interested in various fundamental aspects that can cater to a diverse readership. These areas include the molecular genetics and cell biology of cancer, radiation biology, molecular pathology, hormones and cancer, viral oncology, metastasis, and chemoprevention. The journal actively focuses on experimental therapeutics, particularly the advancement of targeted therapies for personalized cancer medicine, such as metronomic chemotherapy.
By publishing groundbreaking research and promoting advancements in cancer treatments, Cancer Letters aims to actively contribute to the fight against cancer and the improvement of patient outcomes.
