Abstract

Ferroptosis, a type of cell death induced by lipid peroxidation, has emerged as a novel anti-cancer strategy. Cancer cells frequently acquire resistance to Ferroptosis. However, the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. To address this issue, we conducted a thorough investigation of the genomic and transcriptomic data derived from hundreds of human Cancer cell lines and primary tissue samples, with a particular focus on non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). It was observed that mutations in Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (KEAP1) and subsequent nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2, also known as NFE2L2) activation are strongly associated with Ferroptosis resistance in NSCLC. Additionally, AIFM2 gene, which encodes Ferroptosis suppressor protein 1 (FSP1), was identified as the gene most significantly correlated with Ferroptosis resistance, followed by multiple NRF2 targets. We found that inhibition of NRF2 alone was not sufficient to reduce FSP1 protein levels and promote Ferroptosis, whereas FSP1 inhibition effectively sensitized KEAP1-mutant NSCLC cells to Ferroptosis. Furthermore, we found that combined inhibition of FSP1 and NRF2 induced Ferroptosis more intensely. Our findings imply that FSP1 is a crucial suppressor of Ferroptosis whose expression is partially dependent on NRF2 and that synergistically targeting both FSP1 and NRF2 may be a promising strategy for overcoming Ferroptosis resistance in Cancer.
