Ferroptosis, a newly recognized form of cell death, has been implicated in tumor progression and treatment resistance.

The biological functions of lenvatinib resistance were validated through assays of cell viability, colony formation, apoptosis, and xenograft models. Ferroptosis effects were analyzed using assays such as transmission electron microscopy (TEM), C11\u2010BODIPY staining, malondialdehyde (MDA) measurement, and Fe\n                      <jats:sup>2+<\/jats:sup>\n                      detection.

Knockdown of AKR1B10 markedly reversed acquired resistance to lenvatinib. Furthermore, we found that the upregulation of AKR1B10 substantially inhibited lenvatinib\u2010induced ferroptosis. Mechanistically, the NQO1\/GPX4 axis was identified as the downstream signaling pathway through which AKR1B10 regulates ferroptosis. Notably, overexpression of NQO1 effectively restored both ferroptosis and sensitization to lenvatinib induced by AKR1B10 knockdown.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study reveals that AKR1B10 inhibits ferroptosis in HCC through the NQO1\/GPX4 axis, promoting acquired resistance to lenvatinib.
