Energy stress is an unfavorable condition that tumor cells are often exposed to. Ferroptosis is considered an emerging target for tumor therapy. However, the role of ferroptosis in energy stress in renal cancer is currently unknown. In this study, we found that glucose deprivation significantly enhanced GPX4-dependent ferroptosis through AMPK activation. Further, AMPK activation suppressed GPX4 expression at the transcriptional level through the upregulation of P53 expression. Additionally, the inactivation of JAK2/STAT3 transcriptionally promoted P53 expression, thereby promoting AMPK-mediated GPX4-dependent ferroptosis. In conclusion, energy stress promotes AMPK-mediated GPX4-dependent erastin-induced ferroptosis in renal cancer through the JAK2/STAT3/P53 signaling axis.
