Fig. 1. MYCN is a regulator of GPX4-dependent ferroptosis.

Fig. 1

A Genes selectively dependent on MYCN for NB cell survival are enriched within a variety of GO terms of biological processes, and the top nine processes are shown according to p values. B GSEA assays of ferroptosis-related genes showing enrichment with MYCN amplification based on RNA-seq data of six human NB cell lines. ES, enrichment score. C GPX4 is shared between ferroptosis-related and MYCN-dependent survival genes. D Cell viabilities when different concentrations of the GPX4 inhibitor (1S, 3R)-RSL3 (RSL3) and system Xc(−) inhibitor Erastin were used as ferroptosis inducers in multiple human NB cell lines (MYCN amplified SK-N-BE2, BE(2)-C, NLF, SK-N-DZ, and Kelly are represented in pink; and MYCN non-amplified SHEP, SK-N-AS, and SY5Y are shown in black; n = 4). E Kaplan–Meier survival curves for NB patients based on GPX4 mRNA expression. Gene expression and clinical data were retrieved from GSE45547. F Correlation analysis between GPX4 and MYCN expression based on the data retrieved from GSE45547. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01.
