MicroRNA-147a Targets SLC40A1 to Induce Ferroptosis in Human Glioblastoma.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Glioblastoma is one of the most common malignant tumors in the brain, and these glioblastoma patients have very poor prognosis. Ferroptosis is involved in the progression of various tumors, including the glioblastoma. This study aims to determine the involvement of microRNA (miR)-147a in regulating ferroptosis of glioblastoma in vitro.

Methods

Human glioblastoma cell lines were transfected with the inhibitor, mimic and matched negative controls of miR-147a in the presence or absence of ferroptotic inducers. To knock down the endogenous solute carrier family 40 member 1 (SLC40A1), cells were transfected with the small interfering RNA against SLC40A1. In addition, cells with or without the miR-147a mimic treatment were also incubated with temozolomide (TMZ) to invest
