doi: 10.1186/s12951-025-03908-8
Figure Lengend Snippet: TRIM25 knockout enhances ferroptosis sensitivity in LN229 cells in vitro and in vivo A . Correlations between TRIM25 expression levels and survival duration in glioma patients across the CGGA, TCGA, and Rembrandt databases. B . Representative immunohistochemical (IHC) staining images of TRIM25 and 4-HNE in recurrent versus nonrecurrent patients from a 180-case clinical tissue microarray cohort. Scale bar = 50 μm. C . Kaplan‒Meier survival analysis evaluating the prognostic significance of TRIM25 expression in glioma patients. D . GO enrichment analysis of differentially expressed genes between TRIM25-knockout and parental cells (RNA-seq, n = 3). E . Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) of the ferroptosis pathway. F . Viability assessment of live versus dead cells under different treatment conditions ( n = 5). Scale bar = 20 μm. G . Flow cytometric measurement of intracellular lipid ROS levels ( n = 5). H . Quantitative analysis of oxidized-to-nonoxidized-lipid ratios by flow cytometry ( n = 5). I . Immunofluorescence visualization of lipid peroxidation using C11-BODIPY probe staining. Scale bar = 10 μm. J . Assessment of changes in the mitochondrial membrane potential (Δψm) via JC-1 probe staining. Scale bar = 20 μm. K . Detection of mitochondrial lipid peroxidation using MitoPeDPP probe staining. Scale bar = 10 μm. L . Measurement of mitochondrial ROS by MitoSOX probe staining. Scale bar = 10 μm. M . Tumor volume measurements and H&E staining in orthotopic xenograft models ( n = 8 animals per group). N . Quantitative analysis of tumor growth by fluorescence intensity and volumetric measurements ( n = 8). O . Survival curves of nude mice bearing tumors derived from parental cells, TRIM25 single-knockout cells, or TRIM25/VDAC2 double-knockout cells ( n = 8 animals per group). P . IHC analysis and quantitative scoring of TRIM25, VDAC2, 4-HNE, and ACSL4 expression in tumor tissues ( n = 3). Scale bar = 50 μm. P values were calculated using two-tailed t tests (F, G, H, N and P), the log-rank Mantel‒Cox test (O) and the log-rank test, with adjustments for confounding factors via Cox regression (C). The data are presented as the means ± SDs
Article Snippet: Cells subjected to different treatments were seeded in 6-well plates and stained using a JC-1 detection kit (MCE, USA; HY15534) according to the manufacturer’s protocol.
