How TRIM39 helps triple-negative breast cancer avoid cell death by increasing RNF168

Abstract

High expression of TRIM39 in triple-negative breast cancer cells is associated with resistance to .

  • TRIM39-RNF168 ubiquitination axis is identified in triple-negative breast cancer cells.
  • Excessive may lead to iron accumulation, contributing to ferroptosis.
  • Knocking down TRIM39 or RNF168 can activate autophagy-linked ferroptosis.
  • Activation of this pathway effectively suppresses tumor progression in living models.
