Abstract

Graphic abstract

Pyroptosis is a form of caspase-1-dependent programmed cell death with anti-tumor properties, but the underlying molecular mechanisms are not fully understood. The results of our study showed that the antihyperlipidemic drug simvastatin induced pyroptosis in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell lines and a xenograft mouse model. Inhibition of pyroptosis attenuated the effects of simvastatin on tumor cell viability and migration. These data suggest that simvastatin may induce pyroptosis, thereby potentially serving as a novel therapeutic agent for NSCLC.

Keywords: Simvastatin, NSCLC, pyroptosis, caspase-1, cancer therapy
