KEAP1/NRF2 mutant cells are protected against cysteine-starvation induced ferroptosis due to elevated GCLC expression and limited glutamate accumulation, and dual targeting of cystine import and GCLC activity can overcome the resistance of NRF2 active cells to ferroptosis (Kang et al., Cell Metab 2021)
Glutathione is critical for metastasis, and we determined that the rate-limiting enzyme of glutathione synthesis, GCLC, becomes overexpressed in patient liver metastases, promotes cell survival under hypoxic and cell-dense conditions, and mediates metastatic liver colonization
