Figure Lengend Snippet: Effect of Rab E on ferroptosis of A549 cells. (A) Effects of different concentrations (5, 10 and 15 µM) of Rab E on intracellular ROS levels in A549 cells and (B) quantitative analysis. Effect of Rab E treatment for 24 h on the expression of (C) GSH and (D) MDA as indicators associated with ferroptosis. (E) Protein expression of GPX4, FTH and SLC7A11 in A549 cells treated with Rab E. (F-H) Effect of Rab E on the protein expression of (F) GPX4, (G) FTH and (H) SLC7A11 in A549 cells. (I) Co-culture using ferroptosis-inhibiting Fer-1 and Rab E significantly reversed cell viability in A549 cells. (x – ±s; n=6) *P<0.05, **P<0.01, vs. Con group; ## P<0.01, vs. Fer-1 group with ferroptosis inhibitor only. ROS, reactive oxygen species; GSH, glutathione; MDA, malondialdehyde; GPX4, glutathione peroxidase; FTH, ferritin heavy; SLC7A11, solute carrier family 7 member 11; Rab E, rabdoternin E; Fer-1, ferrostatin-1; Con, control.
Article Snippet: The lung cancer cell line A549 was cultured in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium (Beijing Solarbio Science & Technology Co., Ltd.) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (Gibco; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) at 37°C in a 5% CO 2 environment.
