A Combinatorial analysis of genes differentially expressed between parental and ferroptosis-resistant cells and genes that are strongly correlated with sensitivity to ferroptosis inducers in CTRP. Six common genes were identified, among which was SOX13. B qRT–PCR analysis of SOX13 transcript levels in resistant cell lines ( n = 3 independent experiments). RSL3 resis , RSL3 resistance; Erastin resis , Erastin resistance. Data are presented as mean values ± SD. C Box-and-whisker plots show 5st and 95th percentile outlier compounds (red dots) where SOX13 expression levels are correlated with cell line sensitivity to the compounds in CTRP – . Plotted values are Z-scored Pearson’s correlation coefficients. Line, median; box, 10th–90th percentiles. A positive z-score means that high expression is correlated with high resistance to compounds, and vice versa.

A The Erastin resis SNU-668 cells or RSL3 resis SNU-484 cells were pretreated with zanamivir (0 μM, 5 μM, 10 μM, 20 μM) for 36 h. Western blot analysis of SOX13, and SCAF1 protein expression levels (Representative plot of experiments repeated in triplicate). B The Erastin resis SNU-668 cells or RSL3 resis SNU-484 cells were treated with cycloheximide (100 μg/mL) as indicated in the presence or absence of zanamivir (10 μM) ( n = 3 independent experiments). Data are presented as mean values ± SD. C The SNU-668 cells or SNU-484 cells were transfected with the desired plasmids, 36 h after transfection, they were treated with zanamivir (10 μM) for 24 h, and then subjected to IP using anti-Flag antibody followed by Western blot analysis (Representative plot of experiments repeated in triplicate). D Depletion of TRIM25 increased while forced expression of TRIM25 decreased the protein level of SOX13 in Erastin resis SNU-668 cells or RSL3 resis SNU-484 cells (Representative plot of experiments repeated in triplicate). E Western blot analysis of SOX13 and TRIM25 protein levels in Erastin resis SNU-668 cells overexpressing TRIM25-WT, TRIM25-2EA or vector control (Representative plot of experiments repeated in triplicate). F Co-IP assay was used to determine the binding of SOX13 with TRIM25 in the presence or absence of zanamivir (Representative plot of experiments repeated in triplicate). G Ferroptosis-sensitization mechanism of SOX13-targeting compound zanamivir. Zanamivir targets SOX13 protein and thus downregulates SCAF1, which leads to decreased supercomplexes (SCs) assembly, mitochondrial respiration, mitochondrial energetics, and increased ferroptosis sensitivity. Statistical significance in ( B ) is determined by two-tailed unpaired t test. Source data are provided as a file.
