This study revealed that circKIAA1797 inhibits intracellular cuproptosis by binding to the ferredoxin 1 (FDX1) mRNA, decreasing FDX1 mRNA stability, inhibiting FDX1 expression, and binding to the signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1) protein and inhibiting lipoyltransferase 1 (LIPT1) transcription; moreover, circKIAA1797 promotes the closure of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP), inhibits cuproptosis, and ultimately promotes lung cancer development. Here, LIPT1 is linked to lung carcinoma.
