Iron metabolism and drug resistance in cancer

Abstract: Iron is an essential inorganic element for various cellular events. It is directly associated with cell proliferation and growth; therefore, it is expected that iron metabolism is altered in tumor cells which usually have rapid growth rates. The studies on iron metabolism of tumor cells have shown that tumor cells necessitated higher concentrations of iron and the genes of iron uptake proteins were highly over-expressed. However, there are limited number of studies on overall iron metabolism in drug-resistant … Show more

“…In acute myeloid leukemia (AML), inducing ferroptosis by the ferroptosis activator erastin could significantly increase chemotherapy sensitivity of AML cells to cytarabine and doxorubicin. 20 Consistent with this, the results of our proteomic profiling revealed exosomal proteins related to chemoresistance in DLBCL.…”

“…Cytoplasmic iron is stored in ferritin, which is an iron storage protein complex that consists of ferritin light chain (FTL) and ferritin heavy chain 1 (FTH1). Finally, the excess iron is exported by the membrane protein ferroportin (an iron efflux pump, also termed as SLC11A3) (39).…”
