The H2S scavenging and tumor ferroptosis induced by VZnO in CRC. A The GSH detected by total glutathione assay kit in HCT116 and CT26 after VZnO and ID treatments. B Cell viability by MTT assay in HCT116 and CT26 after VZnO, ID, GSH and Fer-1 treated. C Intracellular ROS levels measured by DCFH-DA assay kit in HCT116 and CT26 with or without VZnO and ID treated. D Colocalization of oxidized lipid and nucleus co-stained by BODIPY C11(green) and DAPI (blue) in HCT116 and CT26 cells. E Representative picture of the ultrastructure of mitochondria in HCT116 and CT26 after VZnO and ID treated. F Average number of mesenchymal cristae per mitochondrion in VZnO-treated cells (statistics of 20 mitochondria) G Representative GPX4, COX2, NOX1 and TFR1 protein expression by Western Blot in HCT116 and CT26 with or without VZnO and ID treated. Membranes were re-probed for GAPDH expression to show that similar amounts of protein were loaded in each lane. (*P < 0.05), (n.s.: No significant difference, P value > 0.05)
