Etomoxir Sodium Salt Promotes Imidazole Ketone Erastin-Induced Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cell Ferroptosis and Enhances Cancer Therapy.
Article in Biology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Although ferroptosis inducers trigger ferroptotic tumor cells and immune cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME), imidazole ketone erastin (IKE)'s induction of ferroptosis shows no effect on tumor growth in immunocompetent tumor-bearing mice due to the presence of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs). Treatment of the carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1a (CPT1A)-specific inhibitor decreases the immunosuppressive function of MDSCs and enhances ferroptotic inducer-initiated tumor cell ferroptosis. However, whether blocking CPT1A could enhance IKE-induced MDSC ferroptosis and thereby inhibit tumor growth is still unclear. Here, we report that a CPT1A-specific inhibitor, etomoxir sodium salt (Eto), and IKE combined treatment increased MDSC ferroptosis. Interestingly, the combination treatment of Eto and IKE blocked MDSCs' immunosuppressive function and accumulation by downregulating the expression of SLC7A11, GPX4, and ARG1 while promoting T-cell proliferation and infiltration into tumor tissues to enhance cancer therapy. These data provide a rationale for the combination therapy of a specific CPT1A inhibitor, Eto, with IKE in clinical settings.
