Oncotarget

Oncotarget (a primarily oncology-focused, peer-reviewed, open access journal) aims to maximize research impact through insightful peer-review; eliminate borders between specialties by linking different fields of oncology, cancer research and biomedical sciences; and foster application of basic and clinical science.

Its scope is unique. The term "oncotarget" encompasses all molecules, pathways, cellular functions, cell types, and even tissues that can be viewed as targets relevant to cancer as well as other diseases. The term was introduced in the inaugural Editorial, Introducing Oncotarget.

As of January 1, 2022, Oncotarget has shifted to a continuous publishing model. Papers will now be published continuously within yearly volumes in their final and complete form and then quickly released to Pubmed.

ABSTRACT

In the study of "A targetable CoQ-FSP1 axis drives ferroptosis- and radiation-resistance in KEAP1 inactive lung cancers" which was published earlier in Nature Communications, the authors have identified a novel KEAP1/NRF2 target gene, FSP1, and demonstrated that FSP1 plays an essential role in NRF2-mediated ferroptosis resistance and radioresistance in KEAP1-deficient lung cancer cells. Currently, many NRF2 target genes have been found to participate in the regulation of ferroptosis, and exactly which one plays a dominant role seems unclear. This study proposes that FSP1 is the key effector in NRF2-mediated ferroptosis resistance and radioresistance in KEAP-deficient lung cancer cells, as we discussed in the manuscript.
