Iron Triggers Cell Death via Ferroptosis in iPSC-Derived NPCs and Neurons
(A) MTT assay of NPCs treated with/without 80 μM of erastin and 20 μM of ferrostatin-1 for 18 h.
(B) NPCs re-plated for five passages in the presence of 2.6 μM ferrostatin-1.
(C) Neurons treated with 1 μM ferrostatin-1 during differentiation.
(D) Scheme representing the percentage of senescent and ferroptotic cells in neurons.
All results are presented as a percentage of cell viability compared with that in the isogenic controls and as the mean ± SD of three independent experiments. The data were analyzed by unpaired, two-tailed t test, ∗∗p < 0.01, ∗∗∗p < 0.001.
