Abstract

-mediated disruption of cysteine (Cys) metabolism, compromises antioxidant defenses and triggers ferroptosis. This ionic dysregulation induces tumor cell death and promotes release of damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), activating immunogenic cell death (ICD) and the cGAS-STING pathway. Resultant dendritic cell (DC) maturation and T-cell activation link ion metabolic interference to systemic immune responses. This study establishes a multi-ion metabolic intervention strategy, advancing tumor immunotherapy paradigms.
