摘要

Ferroptosis has been identified as a tumor-inhibiting event in a variety of cancers; however, its molecular basis in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has not been completely elucidated. Notably, glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) plays a crucial role in ferroptosis. Our previous research revealed that prostaglandin E synthase 3 (p23), a potential transcription factor, plays a crucial role in promoting cancer progression and metastasis through succinylation. Our study revealed a previously unknown antiferroptotic function of p23. Mechanistically, p23 stabilizes GPX4 by competitively binding heat shock cognate 71 kDa protein (HSC70) to suppress chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) activity, which subsequently inhibits ferroptosis and accelerates tumor growth. Notably, impairing p23 succinylation disrupts its interaction with HSC70, restoring CMA-mediated GPX4 degradation. Collectively, our findings suggest that targeting p23-regulated CMA pathways represents a potentially viable strategy to modulate ferroptosis in NSCLC.
