YTHDF1, as a key mA reader protein, is believed to be one of the key mechanisms leading to tumor cell immune evasion and resistance via promoting MHC-I degradation. We explore therapeutic strategies that combine iron metabolism regulation with epigenetic regulation. Here, a nanoassembly that integrates Deferasirox (DFX, an FDA-approved iron chelator) and YTHDF1 siRNA (known as PPD/siYTHDF1) has been developed, which jointly promotes cell cycle arrest in tumor cells by interfering with iron metabolism and knocking down YTHDF1 protein.

Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is a highly aggressive malignancy with a poor prognosis and limited effective treatment options. This study investigates the therapeutic potential of Deferasirox (DFO), an iron chelator, in ESCC by targeting TAOK1, an STE20-type kinase implicated in cancer development. We demonstrate that DFO significantly inhibits the proliferation and colony formation of ESCC cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner.

X-linked sideroblastic anemia (XLSA) (MIM 300752) is the most common genetic form of sideroblastic anemia, a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by iron deposits in the mitochondria of erythroid precursors. It is due to mutations of the erythroid-specific enzyme , the first enzyme of the heme biosynthetic pathway. Herein, we report a novel 11-bp deletion in exon 11 leading to a frameshift in the C-terminal region of the gene with a non-functional longer polypeptide of 614 amino acids leading to a loss-of-function mutation manifested as an X-linked sideroblastic anemia phenotype.

Patients with hereditary spherocytosis (HS) often require red blood cell transfusions for the treatment of hemolytic anemia. Iron overload is a known complication of frequent transfusions. Deferasirox, an oral iron chelator, can cause transient elevations in serum aminotransferase levels.

Widespread use of fluconazole has led to the emergence of fluconazole-resistant (FR) a spp. causing challenges in clinical treatment. Iron, an essential nutrient, affects the levels of ergosterol (a fluconazole target) in fungal membranes.
