Summary: The prognosis of glioblastoma (GBM) patients is poor, and temozolomide (TMZ) resistance has become an important obstacle to its treatment effect. A growing number of researches have revealed the special characteristics of iron metabolism in GBM chemosensitivity. Iron regulatory protein 1 (IRP1) is an important protein for maintaining intracellular iron homeostasis. IRP1 has been indicated to have additional vital roles beyond its conventional metabolic activity, but the underlying mechanisms and biological consequences remain elusive. Here, we unprecedentedly demonstrated that amplifying IRP1 signals can reverse TMZ resistance and suppress tumor growth in vivo via inhibiting NFKB2 in the noncanonical NF-κB signaling pathway. In addition, we identified that NFKB2 affected TMZ sensitivity of GBM by modulating the expression of LCN2 and FPN1. Taken together, this study established a role for the IRP1/NFKB2 pathway in regulating LCN2/FPN1 signaling axis among the progression of TMZ resistance, suggesting a potential innovative GBM therapeutic strategy.
