Rhabdomyosarcoma cell lines expressed iron-related proteins and genes. A Western blot analysis for Transferrin Receptor1 (TfR1), Ferroportin (FPN) in cell lines representing human Embryonal (ERMS: RD, SMS, RH36) and Alveolar (ARMS: RH4, RH18, RH30) rhabdomyosarcoma. Tubulin was used as loading control (N = 3). B ELISA assay for H- and L- ferritin in cell lines representing human ERMS and ARMS (N = 3). C–E qPCR for Zip14 (C), NCOA4 (D) and Hepcidin (E) mRNAs in cell lines representing human ERMS and ARMS. The mRNA levels are expressed as 2(−dCt) related to GAPDH (N = 3). HepG2 cell line was used as internal control for the analysis in B, C, D, E, since it is derived from liver, one of the main tissues involved in iron metabolism
