An illustration showing signaling pathways involved in regulating ferroptosis in lung cancer and their possible crosstalk together. MAPK activation leads to GPX4 inhibition and NOX4 activation (↑ Ferroptosis). SCD1 stabilization by EGFR via its Y55 phosphorylation inhibits ferroptosis through aberrant lipid metabolism (↓ Ferroptosis). Under the hypoxic condition, EGLNs degrades HIF-1α. Therefore, LSH expression is increased and induces SCD1 expression (↓ Ferroptosis). LSH can upregulate lncRNA-LINC00336. This interaction results in CBS inhibition via sponging/inhibiting MIR6852 (↓ Ferroptosis). In addition, LSH downregulates lncRNA-NEAT1 and inhibits p53 via G3BP1 downregulation (↓ Ferroptosis). Upregulation of SAT1 by p53 promotes ferroptosis, and RNF113A deficiency causes ferroptosis by increasing SAT1. Two drugs induce the expression of p53 and drive the cell toward ferroptosis (↑ Ferroptosis). ΔNp63α inhibits ferroptosis. USP35 overexpression leads to ferroptosis suppression by stabilization of FPN (↑ Ferroptosis). Moreover, FPN is inhibited upon decreased expression of miR-302a-3p (↑ Ferroptosis). Zinc intoxication causes ferroptosis by inhibition of the System Xc inhibition circumstances, glutamate is accumulated in the cell, which results in the calcium ions accumulation. This accumulation induces ferroptosis by CaM and ADCY10 activation (↑ Ferroptosis). Erianin activates CaM (↑ Ferroptosis). USP14 inhibition by 6-Gingerol leads to autophagy induced ferroptosis (↑ Ferroptosis).
