Summary: Background: SLC7A9 is responsible for the exchange of dibasic amino acids and cystine (influx) for neutral amino acids (efflux). Cystine/cysteine transport is related to ferroptosis. Methods: Sanger sequencing detected TP53 status of cancer cells. Transcriptomic sequencing and untargeted metabolome profiling were used to identify differentially expressed genes and metabolites, respectively, upon SLC7A9 overexpression. CCK8, cell clonality, and EdU assays were used to observe cell proliferation. Cystine probes, glutathione (GSH) probes, and lipid ROS probes were used to examine cystine, GSH, and lipid ROS levels. 13C metabolic flow assays were used to monitor cellular cystine and GSH metabolism. Patient-derived organoids (PDO), immunocompetent MFC mice allograft models and patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models were used to evaluate SLC7A9 impact on chemotherapeutic response and to observe therapeutic effect of SLC7A9 knockdown. Findings: Elevated SLC7A9 expression levels in gastric cancer cells were attributed to p53 loss. SLC7A9 knockdown suppressed the proliferation and increased the chemotherapy sensitivity of the cells. Chemotherapy was more effective in PDX and immunocompetent mice models upon SLC7A9 knockdown. Differentially expressed genes and metabolites between the SLC7A9 overexpression and control groups were associated with ferroptosis and GSH metabolism. SLC7A9 knockdown reduced cystine transport into cells, hampered intracellular cystine and GSH metabolic flow, decreased GSH synthesis, and increased lipid ROS levels in gastric cancer cells. Erastin was more effective at inducing ferroptosis in PDO and PDX models upon SLC7A9 knockdown. Interpretation: SLC7A9 promotes gastric cancer progression by acting as a suppressor of ferroptosis, independent of SLC7A11, which is negatively regulated by p53.
