Upregulated Fibulin-1 Increased Endometrial Stromal Cell Viability and Migration by Repressing EFEMP1-Dependent Ferroptosis in Endometriosis

Figure 5

FBLN1 inhibited EESC ferroptosis, viability, and migration via increasing the stability of EFEMP1 protein. The levels of (a) Fe2+ and (b) MDA and (c) ROS were assessed using the indicated kits in erastin (10 μM)-treated EESCs after FBLN1 overexpression in the presence or absence of EFEMP1 silencing. (d) The cell death was assessed using CCK-8 assay in erastin (10 μM)-treated EESCs after FBLN1 overexpression in the presence or absence of EFEMP1 silencing. (e, f) Erastin (10 μM)-treated EESCs were transfected with pcDNA-FBLN1 in the presence or absence of EFEMP1 silencing, and then, transwell migration analysis was carried out to assess EESC migration silencing. and .
