Cuproptosis: a novel therapeutic mechanism in lung cancer by Cheng Luo, Xinhui Wu, Shipeng Zhang, Junwen Tan, Yuzhi Huo, Xinyue Zhang, Bo Ning, Yuanhang Ye, Fei Wang

“…These elements are vital for evaluating clinical interventions for lung cancer patients, predicting risks, and recognizing drug resistance. Moreover, we identified that pharmaceuticals facilitating copper ion transport (elesclomol and disulfiram), copper-chelating agents (DPEN, ATTM, and TETA), and nanoparticles engineered to transport copper are capable of effectively adjusting copper ion concentrations in lung cancer cells, subsequently inducing cuproptosis as a prospective treatment strategy for lung cancer. …”
