GSH-mediated chemoresistance in tumor cells though system xc. In cancer cells, GSH is synthesized from cystine (CySS) taken up via system xc. GSH protects cells from ROS induced by anticancer drugs (Drug) and/or is used as a co-substrate for GSTs, which form GSH-drug adducts (GS-Drug). GSH adducts are exported from the cell by MRP.
