GPX4 and Platinum Resistance in Brain Metastatic Lung Cancer
2026-09-24
A 2021 study linked platinum resistance in lung cancer brain metastasis models to high glutathione consumption, GPX4 and GSTM1 activity, and suppression of ferroptosis. Its mechanistic findings connect Wnt/NR2F2 signaling to GPX4 expression and suggest a preclinical strategy for sensitizing metastatic cells to platinum drugs, while leaving clinical translation to be tested.
