Cuproptosis is a recently described form of regulated cell death triggered by ionophore-induced copper (Cu) overload in mitochondria. It is critically dependent on ferredoxin 1 (FDX1), a mitochondrial iron-sulfur cluster containing protein that acts as ...

Inhibition of mitochondrial ferredoxin 1 (FDX1) prevents adaptation to proteotoxic stress [PDF]
SUMMARY The mechanisms used by cancer cells to resist the severe disruption in protein homeostasis caused by proteasome inhibitors remain obscure. Here, we show this resistance correlates with a metabolic shift from glycolysis to oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS).

Expression and activity profiling of the steroidogenic enzymes of glucocorticoid biosynthesis and the fdx1 co‐factors in zebrafish [PDF]
The spatial and temporal expression of steroidogenic genes in zebrafish has not been fully characterised. Because zebrafish are increasingly employed in endocrine and stress research, a better characterisation of steroidogenic pathways is required to target specific steps in the biosynthetic pathways.

Emodin triggers cuproptosis to suppress hepatocellular carcinoma via SLC7A11/FDX1 axis [PDF]
BackgroundHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a lethal malignancy with limited therapeutic options, necessitating novel treatment strategies. This study investigates the potential of emodin, a natural anthraquinone, to suppress HCC by inducing cuproptosis,

ASPP2 inhibits hepatocellular carcinoma growth by regulating cuproptosis via mitochondrial protein lipoylation [PDF]
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a metabolically active malignancy. Cuproptosis, a copper-dependent programmed cell death pathway, has been found to be closely associated with tumor progression.

Characterization of the functional effects of ferredoxin 1 as a cuproptosis biomarker in cancer
Background: Cuproptosis is a recently discovered form of programmed cell death. Ferredoxin 1 (FDX1) is a key gene that mediates this process. However, the role of FDX1 in human tumors is not clear.Methods: We comprehensively analyzed the differential ...

FDX1 participates in cuproptosis, a copper-dependent cell death mode, which might influence tumor progressions like ferroptosis and pyroptosis. However, the role of FDX1 in tumors remains to be explored.

AKT1 Phosphorylates FDX1 to Promote Cuproptosis Resistance in Triple‐Negative Breast Cancer
Cuproptosis, a recently defined copper‐dependent cell death pathway, remains largely unexplored in tumor therapies, particularly in breast cancer. This study demonstrates that triple‐negative breast cancer (TNBC) bears a relatively elevated copper levels

The FDX1 methylation regulatory mechanism in the malignant phenotype of glioma
To explore FDX1 methylation as a regulatory mechanism in the malignant phenotype of glioma, we screened for pathways involved through bioinformatic analysis, then proceeded with RIP and cell models to verify the regulation of RNAs and mitophagy. We chose Clone and Transwell assays to evaluate the malignant phenotype of glioma cells. MMP was detected by
