Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 2. Identification of DE-DRMs in individuals with EP. (A) The heatmap of expression levels for nine DE-DRMs. (B) The expression levels of 11 DRMs were exhibited between Ctrl and EP groups in boxplots. (C) Correlation analysis of nine DE-DRMs. Red and green colors represent positive and negative correlations, respectively. (D) The PPI analysis of DE-DMRs showed that SLC3A2 interacted with SLC7A11, while NDUFS1 interacted with NDUFA11, NUBPL, and LRPPRC. Abbreviations: DE-DRMs, differentially expressed disulfidptosis-related molecules; EP, epilepsy; Ctrl, control; PPI, protein-protein interaction; SLC3A2, solute carrier family 3 member 2; SLC7A11, solute carrier family 7 member 11; NDUFS1, NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase core subunit S1; NDUFA11, NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase subunit A11; NUBPL, NUBP iron‑sulfur cluster assembly factor, mitochondrial; LRPPRC, leucine rich pentatricopeptide repeat containing.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 8. The expression of DE-DRMs in seizures models (in vitro and in vivo). (A) Constructing the in vitro seizures model. The amplitude and frequency of neuronal APs in the Mg2+-free group were significantly increased (n = 6 in each group; Independent sample t-test; #, P < 0.01). (B) Protein expression of nine DE-DRMs in the in vitro seizures model. The expression of GYS1, NDUFS1, OXSM, LRPPRC, NDUFA11, NUBPL, NCKAP1, and SLC3A2 were not significantly changed in the Mg2+-free group, while the expression of SLC7A11 was significantly increased in Mg2+-free group (n = 6 in each group; Independent sample t-test; #, P < 0.01). (C) Con structing the in vivo seizures model. No epileptoid discharges were observed in six rats of the Ctrl group, while significant epileptoid discharges were observed in six rats of the PTZ group (scale: Y-axis,50uV; X-axis, 0.5 s). (D) Protein expression of nine DE-DRMs in vivo models. The expressions of GYS1, NDUFS1, OXSM, LRPPRC, NDUFA11, NUBPL, NCKAP1, and SLC3A2 were not significantly changed in PTZ group, while the expression of SLC7A11 was significantly increased in PTZ group (n = 6 in each group; Independent sample t-test; #, P < 0.01).

Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 9. Verifying the PPI in seizures models (in vivo and in vitro). (A-B) colocation analysis indicated that SLC7A11 colocalized with SLC3A2, NDUFS1 colocalized with LRPPRC, NDUFS1 colocalized with NUBPL, and NDUFS1 colocalized with NDUFA11 in both primary neurons and hippocampal tissue. (C–D) Pooled quan tification of protein immunoprecipitation showed a significant increment in the pull-down of SLC7A11 and a significant reduction in the pull-down of NDUFA11 in both the Mg2+-free group and PTZ group (n = 6 in each group; Independent sample t-test; #, P < 0.01).
