The invention provides an SLC16A3 inhibitor based on
ferroptosis regulation and application of the SLC16A3 inhibitor in
lung adenocarcinoma, and relates to the technical field of biological treatment drugs. The SLC16A3 inhibitor is a
drug MSC-4381, the
drug MSC-4381 is an effective SLC16A3 inhibitor, the SLC16A3 inhibitor can be used for inhibiting
lactic acid transporter SLC16A3, breaking the
redox steady state of
tumor cells, inducing
ferroptosis and remarkably enhancing the
curative effect of the
drug gefitinib, and in an in-vivo and in-vitro model,
cell proliferation, migration and invasion can be inhibited through SLC16A3 knock-down or pharmacological inhibition, so that the SLC16A3 inhibitor can be used for preventing and treating the
tumor cells. The MSC-4381 and the
gefitinib are combined to promote
lipid peroxidation and iron
ion accumulation, the
tumor growth can be obviously delayed through drug combination of the MSC-4381 and the
gefitinib, the effect can be partially reversed through the Ferrostatin-1, the
ferroptosis-dependent mechanism of the MSC-4381 and the gefitinib is verified, and
transcriptional regulation and control of the SLC16A3 by the HIF1A and influence on ferroptosis resistance are clear. The invention provides a feasible combined medication strategy, verifies the significant
tumor inhibition effect of the HIF1A-SLC16A3 axis in
cell and animal models, reveals the key effect of the HIF1A-SLC16A3 axis in
lung adenocarcinoma drug resistance formation, and provides a new
combined treatment strategy and a new molecular target.
