Nuclear receptor coactivator 4 (NCOA4) protein is a selective cargo receptor that plays a crucial role in ferritinophagy by targeting and delivering the ferritin iron storage protein to lysosomes for degradation and releasing iron. TRIM7 overexpression inhibits ferroptosis in glioblastoma cells by ubiquitinating NCOA4 protein.

Although drug therapy is commonly used to treat depression, conventional antidepressant drugs have several disadvantages, including slow onset, low response rates and severe adverse effects. Therefore, developing effective therapies for depression remains challenging.

However, little has been reported on in glioma. This study sought to explore its expression, biological function, and association with clinical pathological indicators, prognosis, and immune infiltration levels in glioma through glioma cohorts.

Sampling time, treatment, enrichment method and detection method also varied. We aimed to evaluate whether patients with CTCs in peripheral blood have bad survival outcomes with consideration of the above four aspects.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent, lipid peroxide-mediated cell death that may be exploited to selective elimination of damaged and malignant cells. Recent studies have identified that small-molecule erastin specifically inhibits transmembrane cystine-glutamate antiporter system x, prevents extracellular cystine import and ultimately causes ferroptosis in certain cancer cells. In this study, we aimed to investigate the molecular mechanism underlying erastin-induced ferroptosis resistance in ovarian cancer cells.
