The nonnegligible reason for the poor prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is resistance to conventional chemotherapy. Immunogenic cell death (ICD) a rare immunostimulatory form that can reengage tumor-specific immune system. ICD improve clinical outcomes chemotherapeutics by promoting long-term cancer immunity. discovery potential inducers emerging as promising direction. In present study, micheliolide (MCL), natural guaianolide sesquiterpene lactone, was screened out virtual screening strategies, identified an inhibitor thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) and evaluated have high induce ICD. Here, we showed MCL induced ICD-associated DAMPs (damage-associated molecular patterns, such CRT exposure, ATP secretion HMGB1 release). significantly triggered regression established tumors in immunocompetent mouse vaccine model, (DCs maturation, stimulation CD4+, CD8+ T-cells responses) vivo. Mechanistically, found magnitude effects upon exposure HCC cells dependent on generation reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS). addition, suppression ROS normalized MCL-induced ERS, contrast, downregulation TrxR synergized with ERS driven MCL. We also systematically detected H2O2 using Hyper7 sensors exposed Notably, inhibited development organoids. Collectively, our results reveal association between inhibitors ICD, presenting valuable insights into MCL-activated cells.

Ferroptosis is a newly identified form of non-apoptotic programmed cell death, characterized by the iron-dependent accumulation lethal lipid reactive oxygen species (ROS) and peroxidation membrane polyunsaturated fatty acid phospholipids (PUFA-PLs). unique among other death modalities in many aspects. It initiated excessive oxidative damage due to iron overload compromised antioxidant defense systems, including system Xc-/ glutathione (GSH)/glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) pathway GPX4-independent pathways. In past ten years, ferroptosis was reported play critical role pathogenesis various cardiovascular diseases, e.g., atherosclerosis (AS), arrhythmia, heart failure, diabetic cardiomyopathy, myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury. Studies have dysfunctional metabolism abnormal expression profiles ferroptosis-related factors, iron, GSH, GPX4, ferroportin (FPN), SLC7A11 (xCT), as indicators for atherogenesis. Moreover, plaque cells, i.e., vascular endothelial (VEC), macrophage, smooth muscle (VSMC), positively correlate with atherosclerotic development. Many macromolecules, drugs, Chinese herbs, food extracts can inhibit atherogenic process suppressing cells. contrast, some inducers significant pro-atherogenic effects. However, mechanisms through which affects progression AS still need be well-known. This review summarizes molecular their emerging AS, aimed at providing novel, promising druggable targets anti-AS therapy.
