The therapeutic approaches directly targeting activated β-catenin in liver cancers are restricted by toxicities. Here the authors identify that the solute carrier transporter SLC13A3 is upregulated by activation of β-catenin and silencing of SLC13A3 induces ferroptosis, which could be exploited as a therapeutic opportunity in β-catenin-driven liver cancers.
