doi: 10.3390/ijms27010451
Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Analysis of the difference in FDX1 protein expression between normal and ovarian cancer tissues using the UALCAN website; ( B ) Analysis of the PPI between FDX1 and complex IV using the STRING database; ( C ) The levels of proteins related to cuproptosis extracted from isolated mitochondria upregulate in A2780 cells compared with SKOV3 cells. The area above the dotted line represents the fold increase in gene expression of A2780 compared to SKOV3 cells; ( D ) Western Blot detection of the whole-cell expression changes in the death-related protein LRPPRC, MTCO1, FDX1, lipoic acid synthesis proteins LIPT1 and LIAS, and copper ion transport proteins ATP7B and CTR1 (SLC31A1) in A2780 and SKOV3 cells after treatment with Elesclomol + CuCl 2 (1:1). ( E , F ) After reatment with 0.1 μM Elesclomol + CuCl 2 (1:1), the activity of complex IV were detected in A2780 and SKOV3 cells. * p < 0.05, *** p < 0.001 compared with the CON(Control) group.
