In Vivo Model
Female 4-week-old BALB/c-nu nude mice were purchased from Vital River (Beijing, China) and housed in a specific pathogen-free facility. EC cells were washed twice with serum-free medium and injected subcutaneously into nude mice (5 x 106 cells/site). Tumors were measured with calipers every four days for four weeks. The mice were sacrificed on day 32 after cell implantation, and the tumors were excised and weighed.

Response regulation CircRAPGEF5 interacts with RBFOX2, an important splicing regulator, to modulate the splicing of TFRC pre-mRNA. Importantly, circRAPGEF5 promotes exon-4 skipping of TFRC by sequestering RBFOX2, resulting in resistance to ferroptosis via the reduction of labile iron in endometrial cancer cells.

In Vitro Model Ishikawa cells Endometrial adenocarcinoma Homo sapiens CVCL_2529
Response regulation Juglone as a natural quinone from C. cathayensisgreen peel could exert its anti-cancer activity by inducing iron dependent autophagy and inhibiting the migration of endometrial cancer (EC) cells. Subsequently, Fe2+ accumulation, lipid peroxidation, GSH depletion, the upregulation of HMOX1, and heme degradation to Fe2+ were reported. Juglone was involved in inducing autophagy and inhibiting cell migration and endoplasmic reticulum stress.
