Growth Inhibition of a Novel Iron Chelator, DpdtC, against Hepatoma Carcinoma Cell Lines Partly Attributed to Ferritinophagy-Mediated Lysosomal ROS Generation

Figure 1

DpdtC induced iron mobilization from ferritin. (a) The absorbance spectrum of DpdtC and its iron complex; the profiles of iron extracting from ferritin by DpdtC were also included; (b) the spectral changes of ferritin during addition of DpdtC. The insert showed the absorbance changes at specific wavelengths (350 and 404 nm); (c) iron mobilization from ferritin by different concentrations of DpdtC was assayed by measuring the absorbance difference at 404 nm, and effect of SOD on iron mobilization was conducted in a similar way.
