Ferroptosis, a regulated form of cell death triggered by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation, has emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy for cancer treatment, particularly in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the mechanisms underlying the regulation of ferroptosis in HCC remain to be unclear. In this study, we have identified a novel regulatory pathway of ferroptosis involving the inhibition of Apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1 (APE1), a key enzyme with dual functions in DNA repair and redox regulation. Our findings demonstrate that inhibition of APE1 leads to the accumulation of lipid peroxidation and enhances ferroptosis in HCC. At the molecular level, the inhibition of APE1 enhances ferroptosis which relies on the redox activity of APE1 through the regulation of the NRF2/SLC7A11/GPX4 axis. We have identified that both genetic and chemical inhibition of APE1 increases AKT oxidation, resulting in an impairment of AKT phosphorylation and activation, which leads to the dephosphorylation and activation of GSK3β, facilitating the subsequent ubiquitin-proteasome-dependent degradation of NRF2. Consequently, the downregulation of NRF2 suppresses SLC7A11 and GPX4 expression, triggering ferroptosis in HCC cells and providing a potential therapeutic approach for ferroptosis-based therapy in HCC. Overall, our study uncovers a novel role and mechanism of APE1 in the regulation of ferroptosis and highlights the potential of targeting APE1 as a promising therapeutic strategy for HCC and other cancers.
