Isoliensinine Induces Ferroptosis in Urothelial Carcinoma Cells via the PI3K/AKT/HIF-1α Axis: Molecular Evidence from Next-Generation Sequencing.

ABSTRACT: Background: Bladder cancer ranks ninth among the most commonly diagnosed cancers, with urothelial carcinoma (UC) accounting for more than 90% of all cases. Given the high recurrence rate and progression risk of bladder cancer, investigating alternative adjunct therapies is imperative. One potential candidate is isoliensinine, which has shown antitumor potential in various cancers; however, the effectiveness of isoliensinine on UC is largely unknown. Methods: In the present study, the effects of isoliensinine on UC cells were examined in a variety of in vitro experiments, including MTT assays, colony formation assays, flow cytometry assays, RNA sequencing analysis, and Western blotting. Results: The isoliensinine-treated T24 and UMUC3 UC cell lines showed cell growth in
