Abstract

Condensed Abstract: Expression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers was closely related to susceptibility to ferroptosis inducers. Epigenetic reprogramming of EMT to gain a mesenchymal phenotype, such as SIRT1 activation or miR-200 family inhibition, promoted ferroptosis in head and neck cancer cells retaining relatively high epithelial traits and low sensitivity to ferroptosis inducers.
