Inhibition of AURKA promoted ferroptosis in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells. (A) Western blot analysis of the expression level of AURKA in A549 cells transfected with the short hairpin RNA plasmids sh-AURKA-1 and sh-AURKA-2. (B) Level of malondialdehyde (MDA) in A549 cells. (C) Level of glutathione (GSH) in A549 cells. (D) Concentration of intracellular iron. (E) Reactive oxygen species (ROS) determination assay. Magnification, ×200. Scale bar, 50 μm. (F) Mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) assay. Magnification, ×200. Scale bar, 50 μm. (G) Western blot of the levels of the ferroptosis-related proteins GPX4, xCT, PTGS2, and ACSl4. The assay was repeated three times. Data bars and error bars indicate the mean ± SD. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001. ns, no significance.
