Targeting SCD1 combined with RT triggers immunogenic ferroptosis. Suppressing ferroptosis attenuates the uptake of cancer cells by DCs. (a) Extracellular ATP release in KYSE70 cells following different concentrations of MF-438. (b) RT combined with MF-438 resulted in enhanced extracellular ATP release in KYSE70 cells. (c) Extracellular ATP release in KYSE410 cells following different concentrations of MF-438. (d) RT combined with MF-438 resulted in enhanced extracellular ATP release in KYSE410 cells. (e) Calreticulin cell surface exposure in KYSE70 cells following different concentrations of MF-438. (f) Calreticulin cell surface exposure in KYSE70 cells following different doses of RT combined with MF-438. (g) Calreticulin cell surface exposure in KYSE410 cells following different concentrations of MF-438. (h) Calreticulin cell surface exposure in KYSE410 cells following different doses of RT combined with MF-438. (i) Extracellular HMGB1 release in KYSE70 cells following different concentrations of MF-438. (j) RT combined with MF-438 resulted in enhanced extracellular HMGB1 release in KYSE70 cells. (k) Extracellular HMGB1 release in KYSE410 cells following different concentrations of MF-438. (l) RT combined with MF-438 resulted in enhanced extracellular HMGB1 release in KYSE410 cells. (m-n) The uptake of ferroptotic cells by DCs after treated with MF-438, RT, or the combined regimen. (o-p) The uptake of ferroptotic cells by DCs after treated with Fer-1, RT, or the combined regimen. Data are expressed as means ± SD (n = 3), n.s., non-significant, p > .05; *p ˂ 0.05; **p ˂ 0.01; ***p ˂ 0.001; ****p ˂ 0.0001.
