• Pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs) promote ferroptosis resistance in pancreatic cancer cells through a paracrine mechanism.
• IL15 secreted by PSCs activates the IL15RA-STAT3-GPX4/ACSL3 signaling axis, upregulating both GPX4 and ACSL3 to prevent lipid peroxidation.
• The IL15RA-STAT3-GPX4/ACSL3 axis protects pancreatic cancer cells from ferroptosis both in vitro and in vivo, suggesting a novel therapeutic target.
• Targeting this signaling pathway may overcome ferroptosis resistance and improve treatment outcomes in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).
