Mechanism of Cell Death by Combined Treatment with an xCT Inhibitor and Paclitaxel : An Alternative Therapeutic Strategy for Patients with Ovarian Clear Cell Carcinoma
Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) is a rare subtype of epithelial ovarian carcinoma that responds poorly to chemotherapy. Glutathione (GSH) is a primary antioxidant, which protects cells against reactive oxygen species (ROS). High levels of GSH are related to chemotherapeutic resistance. The glutamine/cystine transporter xCT is essential for intracellular GSH synthesis. However, whether xCT inhibition can overcome the resistance to chemotherapeutic agents in OCCC remains unclear. This study demonstrated that combined treatment with paclitaxel (PTX) and the xCT inhibitor sulfasalazine (SAS) significantly enhanced cytotoxicity more than the individual drugs did in OCCC cells. Treatment with PTX and SAS induced apoptosis more effectively than did individual drug treatments in the cells with significant generation of ROS. Moreover, combined treatment with PTX and SAS induced ferroptosis in the cells with low expression of glutathione peroxidase (GPx4), high levels of intracellular iron and significant lipid ROS accumulation. Therefore, our findings provide valuable information that the xCT inhibitor might be a promising therapeutic target for drug-resistant OCCC. The strategy of combined administration of PTX and SAS can potentially be used to treat OCCC and help to develop novel therapeutic methods.
