Article Title: Gastrodin Induces Ferroptosis of Glioma Cells via Upregulation of Homeobox D10
doi: 10.3390/molecules28248062
Figure Lengend Snippet: HOXD10 as the key target of gastrodin. ( A ) Identified differentially expressed genes in glioma cells treated with DMSO and gastrodin. ( B ) Results of protein–protein interaction network analysis performed for differentially expressed genes. HOXD10 had strong relationship with other proteins encoded by differentially expressed genes. ( C , D ) Results of RT-qPCR and Western blotting performed to analyze the mRNA and protein levels of HOXD10 in glioma cells treated with different concentrations (0, 5, 10, and 20 μM) of gastrodin. ( E ) Results of Western blotting performed to analyze the protein levels of HOXD10 in glioma cells, HT22, C6 and PC12. ( F ) Results of qRT-PCR performed to analyze the mRNA levels of HOXD10 in glioma cells, LO2, HPDE, NHA, HK2, and HT22. ( G ) Binding mode of gastrodin with HOXD10 and 3D illustration of the details of the interaction. Green shows gastrodin; aquamarine shows the HOXD10 protein. * represents p < 0.05; ** represents p < 0.01; *** represents p < 0.001. n = 3. The control group was used for comparison. Data are shown as means ± SD.
Article Snippet: Immortalized mouse hippocampal cells (HT22), rat glioma cells (C6), human normal hepatocytes cells (LO2), human renal proximal tubular cells (HK2), human pancreatic duct epithelial cells (HPDE), normal human astrocytes (NHA), and human glioma cell lines (U251, T98, and LN229) were obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC, USA).
