Fig. 7From: Regulation of NCOA4-mediated iron recycling ameliorates paraquat-induced lung injury by inhibiting ferroptosisGenetic inhibition of the NCOA4-FTH axis ameliorates the toxicity of paraquat in human respiratory epithelial cells. A Western blot analysis of the protein levels in control and NCOA4-silenced lung epithelial cells treated with or without PQ (500 μM); B-D The detection of cell survival, cellular free iron and cellular ROS in control and NCOA4-silenced lung epithelial cells with the indicated treatment; E Western blot analysis in control and FTH-overexpressed lung epithelial cells treated with or without PQ (500 μM); F-I The detection of cell survival, cellular free iron, cellular ROS, and lipid peroxides in control and FTH-overexpressed lung epithelial cells. ★★P < 0.01 between indicated groupsBack to article page
