Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), a malignancy originating from mucosal epithelial cells. Currently, triggering apoptotic cell death with anticancer drugs is the main way to inhibit OSCC cells. However, the capability to trigger apoptosis in tumors is constrained by the intrinsic resistance of tumor cells to apoptosis, hampering its effectiveness. Thus, utilizing alternative modes of non-apoptotic cell death offers new therapeutic possibilities, such as using a drug combination strategy to simultaneously induce ferroptosis and autophagy has the potential to improve OSCC therapy. In this study, we found the ferroptosis inducer RSL3 has certain inhibitory effects on the proliferation and migration of OSCC cells. Interestingly, our studies showed that RSL3 is also associated with autophagy activation. Based on this finding, we tried to combine RSL3 with the autophagy inducer LYN-1604 to improve the therapeutic effect. The results demonstrated that simultaneous regulation of autophagy and ferroptosis significantly reduced the proliferation and migration of OSCC cells. Taken together, we demonstrated the therapeutic potential of RSL3 in OSCC cells and proposed that simultaneous activation of autophagy and ferroptosis have synergistic effects, which would provide valuable clues for further exploration of targeted therapy for OSCC.
