doi: 10.1038/s41598-025-27251-y
Figure Lengend Snippet: SSD induces ferroptosis via downregulation of GPX4 through ER stress. (A) Western blot analysis of GPX4 in PDO and A549 cells treated with 2 µM SSD and control groups, β-Actin was used as a loading control. (B) Statistical analysis of GPX4 expression levels from three independent experiments ( n = 3). (C) Molecular docking of SSD and ATF3 protein. (D) DARTS-Western blot analysis showed the resistance of ATF to pronase E digestion under the treatment of SSD (10 µM), n = 3. (E) RT-qPCR analysis of mRNA expression levels of PDO-related genes ATF3 , CHOP , and CHAC1 treatment with SSD ( n = 3). (F , G) Western blot analysis of protein expression (ATF3, CHOP, CHAC1) in A549 cells and PDOs after treatment with 2 µM SSD( n = 3). (H) Mechanism of SSD acting on lung adenocarcinoma. (Data are presented as mean ± SD, * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001). ER, endoplasmic reticulum; PDO, patient-derived organoids; SSD, saikosaponin D. SD, standard deviation.
