Abstract

Abstract The malaria drug artemisinin has previously been identified as a potent anti-lymphoma drug to treat B-cell lymphoma and myeloid leukemia, but treatment of T lymphoma is rarely reported. In this study, we found that artemisinin can not only cause ferroptosis by up-regulating ROS levels and increasing misfolded protein in T cell lymphoma via down-regulating ERK pathway, but also reduce the accumulation of MDSCs, relieve the immunosuppressive effect of MDSCs on effector T cells, induce anti-tumor immune reactivation, and inhibit tumor growth in tumor bearing mice.
