    ABHD12 inhibits sorafenib-induced ferroptosis in HepG2 cells Different HepG2 cell lines were used in the following experiments: Control-OE, cells treated with empty viral vector; WT, wild-type cells; ABHD12-OE , cells overexpressing ABHD12 ; WT-Control, wild-type cells treated with vehicle; ABHD12-KO , cells from which ABHD12 was deleted; <t>DO264,</t> cells treated with ABHD12 inhibitor (DO264). Cells were treated with or without 10 μM sorafenib (Srf) for 24 h. (A) The upper panel shows western blot analysis of GPX4 protein; the lower panel shows the corresponding densitometry. GAPDH was used as an internal control. Data are presented as mean ± SD (n = 3 independent experiments). ∗p < 0.05, ∗∗p < 0.01, ∗∗∗p < 0.001. (B) Confocal images of lipid reactive oxygen species (ROS), as detected by the fluorescent probe C11-BODIPY 581/591 . Scale bar, 5 μm. (C) Representative confocal images of intracellular ROS levels using the fluorescent probe DCFH-DA. Scale bar, 5 μm. (D) IC 50 values for sorafenib against different cell populations. Results are from three independent experiments. (E) Surface plots for higher order drug combinations. Sorafenib and DO264 act synergistically on HepG2 cells. Sorafenib and DO264 at the indicated concentrations were used to treat cells for 24 h, and cell viability was assessed by MTT assay. ZIP Synergy scores were calculated using Synergyfinder software. Scores > 0 indicated synergism, and scores > 10 were considered strong synergistic. The gradation of the red regions indicates the intensity of synergism. Results are from three independent experiments. (F) Quantification of cell viability as assessed by MTT assay. (G) Representative images of colony formation assay after cells were treated for 2 weeks with sorafenib at 0, 7, or 14 μM in the presence or absence of l0 μM ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1).

Cells were implanted into nude mice, which were then treated with 20 mg/kg sorafenib (Srf), 30 mg/kg DO264, or DMSO vehicle. (B) Photographs of tumor weights at sacrifice. (C and D) Tumor sizes were measured once a week. (E) Tumor weight. Data are shown as mean ± SD. Statistical significance was calculated using two-way ANOVA. ∗∗p < 0.01, ∗∗∗p < 0.001. (F) Western blot analysis of GPX4 protein in tumor. GAPDH was used as an internal control. (G) A model for how ABHD12 may contribute to tumorigenesis and sorafenib resistance of HepG2 cells. Abbreviations: OE, overexpressing; WT, wild-type; KO, knock out; LIHC, liver hepatocellular carcinoma; Fer, ferrostatin-1; GPX4, antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxidase 4.
