Disruption of disulfide homeostasis during biological processes can have fatal consequences. Excess disulfides induce cell death in a novel manner, termed as "disulfidptosis." However, the specific mechanism of disulfidptosis has not yet been elucidated. To determine the cancer types sensitive to disulfidptosis and outline the corresponding treatment strategies, we firstly investigated the crucial functions of disulfidptosis regulators pan-cancer at multi-omics levels. We found that different tumor types expressed dysregulated levels of disulfidptosis regulators, most of which had an impact on tumor prognosis. Moreover, we calculated the disulfidptosis activity score in tumors and validated it using multiple independent datasets. Additionally, we found that disulfidptosis activity was correlated with classic biological processes and pathways in various cancers. Disulfidptosis activity was also associated with tumor immune characteristics and could predict immunotherapy outcomes. Notably, the disulfidptosis regulator, glycogen synthase 1 (), was identified as a promising target for triple-negative breast cancer and validated via in vitro and in vivo experiments. In conclusion, our study elucidated the complex molecular phenotypes and clinicopathological correlations of disulfidptosis regulators in tumors, laying a solid foundation for the development of disulfidptosis-targeting strategies for cancer treatment.
生物过程中,二硫键稳态的破坏可能会产生致命后果。过量的二硫键以一种新的方式诱导细胞死亡,称为“二硫键介导的细胞死亡”(disulfidptosis)。然而,二硫键介导的细胞死亡的具体机制尚未阐明。为了确定对二硫键介导的细胞死亡敏感的癌症类型并概述相应的治疗策略,我们首先在多组学水平上研究了二硫键介导的细胞死亡调节因子在泛癌中的关键功能。我们发现不同肿瘤类型中二硫键介导的细胞死亡调节因子表达失调,其中大多数对肿瘤预后有影响。此外,我们计算了肿瘤中的二硫键介导的细胞死亡活性评分,并使用多个独立数据集对其进行了验证。此外,我们发现二硫键介导的细胞死亡活性与各种癌症中的经典生物学过程和信号通路相关。二硫键介导的细胞死亡活性还与肿瘤免疫特征相关,并可以预测免疫治疗结果。值得注意的是,二硫键介导的细胞死亡调节因子糖原合酶1()被确定为三阴性乳腺癌的一个有前景的靶点,并通过体外和体内实验得到了验证。总之,我们的研究阐明了肿瘤中二硫键介导的细胞死亡调节因子的复杂分子表型和临床病理相关性,为开发针对二硫键介导的细胞死亡的癌症治疗策略奠定了坚实基础。
