34 Therapeutic Targeting of the SLC7A11-GCLM-GPX4 Axis Sensitizes Glioblastoma to Ferroptosis and Associates with Poor Survival
Abstract Background Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common malignant primary brain tumor with a dismal prognosis. The high proliferative activity of GBM is prone to generating oxidative stress, which must be counteracted to support cell survival and prevent ferroptotic cell death. Objective The present study evaluated the expression of the GPX-4 and GCLM involved in redox homeostasis in GBM and their possible implications for tumor biology, clinical outcome, and therapeutic potential. Methodology The mRNA and protei …
