Indicated HCC cells were treated with sorafenib (5 μM) and erastin (10 μM) with or without cell death inhibitors (ferrostatin-1, 1 μM; liprostatin-1, 100 nM; ZVAD-FMK, 10 μM; necrosulfonamide, 0.5 μM) for 24 hours, and cell viability was assayed (n=3, *P < 0.05 versus sorafenib or erastin treatment group).

Erastin induces HSF1-dependent HSPB1 expression in human cancer cells. Indicated human cancer cells were treated with erastin (HeLa, 0.5 μM; U2OS, 5 μM; LNCaP, 5 μM) for 24 h and the protein expressions of indicated HSPs were assayed by western blot.

HeLa cells were treated with erastin (0.5 μM) for 24 h with or without Gö 6893 (0.5 μM) and calphostin C (0.1 μM), and HSPB1 phosphorylation at Ser 15 was assayed using western blot.

Erastin exerts cytotoxic, but not cytostatic, effects to cultured colorectal cancer cells. Colorectal cancer cells (HT-29, DLD-1 and Caco-2 lines) or NCM460 colon epithelial cells were treated with vehicle control (0.1% DMSO, “Ctrl”) or indicated concentrations of erastin for applied time, cell survival was tested by MTT assay (A and E) and colony formation assay (C); The percentage of trypan blue positive (“dead” cells) was recorded (B); Cell proliferation was tested by BrdU incorporation assay (D and F). For each assay, n = 5. The data presented were mean ± SD. Experiments were repeated three times with similar results obtained. * p < 0.05 vs. group of “Ctrl”.

Baicalein suppresses erastin-induced GPX4 degradation. (A) PANC1 and BxPc3 cells were treated with erastin (20 μM) in the absence or presence of baicalein (10 μM) for 24 h. The indicated protein levels were assayed using western blot. (B) In parallel, the relative intensity of the western blot band of GPX4 was quantified using ImageJ densitometry software (n = 3, *, p < 0.05).

FANCD2 suppresses erastin-induced ferroptosis in BMSCs. (A) FANCD2+/+ and FANCD2 −/− BMSCs were treated with erastin (0.625–2.5 μM) for 24 h and cell viability was assayed (n = 3, *P < 0.05). (B) Interference contrast images of FANCD2+/+ and FANCD2 −/− BMSCs with or without erastin (1.25 μM) treatment for 24 h (C) FANCD2+/+ and FANCD2 −/− BMSCs were treated with erastin (1.25 μM) in the absence or presence of ferroptosis inhibitor (ferrostatin-1, 500 nM; liprostatin-1, 200 nM; β-mercaptoethanol, 50 μM; N-acetylcysteine, 100 mM) or autophagy inhibitor (chloroquine, 10 μM; 3-methyladenine, 5 mM) for 24 h. Cell viability was assayed (n = 3, *P < 0.05 versus erastin treatment group). (D) Western blot analysis of LC3-I and LC3-II expression in FANCD2+/+ and FANCD2 −/− BMSCs following erastin (1.25 μM) treatment for 24 h. (E) In parallel, the LC3-II/I ratio quantified by densitometry analysis of bands.
