HMGA2 regulates GPX4 expression and ferroptosis in prostate cancer cells.

Prostate cancer (PCa) remains a significant global health burden and an increase in oxidative stress is associated with cancer progression. High Mobility Group A2 (HMGA2), a chromatin architectural protein, increases oxidative stress and promotes sensitivity to ferroptosis inducers, however, the mechanism is unknown. We investigated the role of HMGA2 in GPX4 regulation and the impact on cellular responses to oxidative stress and ferroptosis sensitivity.
