Metallothionein‐1G facilitates sorafenib resistance through inhibition of ferroptosis
Open accessAbstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a major cause of cancer‐related death worldwide and currently has the fastest rising incidence of all cancers. Sorafenib was originally identified as an inhibitor of multiple oncogenic kinases and remains the only approved systemic therapy for advanced HCC. However, acquired resistance to sorafenib has been found in HCC patients, which results in poor prognosis. Here, we show that metallothionein (MT)‐1G is a critical regulator and promising therapeutic target of sorafenib resistance in human HCC cells. The expression of MT‐1G messenger RNA and protein is remarkably induced by sorafenib but not other clinically relevant kinase inhibitors (e.g., erlotinib, gefitinib, tivantinib, vemurafenib, selumetinib, imatinib, masitinib, and ponatinib). Activation of the transcription factor nuclear factor erythroid 2‐related factor 2, but not p53 and hypoxia‐inducible factor 1‐alpha, is essential for induction of MT‐1G expression following sorafenib treatment. Importantly, genetic and pharmacological inhibition of MT‐1G enhances the anticancer activity of sorafenib in vitro and in tumor xenograft models. The molecular mechanisms underlying the action of MT‐1G in sorafenib resistance involve the inhibition of ferroptosis, a novel form of regulated cell death. Knockdown of MT‐1G by RNA interference increases glutathione depletion and lipid peroxidation, which contributes to sorafenib‐induced ferroptosis. Conclusion: These findings demonstrate a novel molecular mechanism of sorafenib resistance and suggest that MT‐1G is a new regulator of ferroptosis in HCC cells. (H epatology 2016;64:488‐500)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
