Studies have reported that elastin, a ferroptosis inducer, could irreversibly inhibit SLC7A11 and synergize with cisplatin to increase the drug’s cytotoxicity (75), and that the blocking of SLC7A11 effectively increased the intracellular level and cytotoxicity of cisplatin in colorectal cancer (76). This evidence concerns the gene SLC7A11 and colorectal cancer.
