MicroRNA-302a-3p induces ferroptosis of non-small cell lung cancer cells via targeting ferroportin

Ferroptosis is a newly described regulated form of cell death that contributes to the progression of non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs). MicroRNA-302a-3p (miR-302a-3p) plays critical roles in the tumorigenicity of different cancers; however, its function and underlying mechanism in ferroptosis and NSCLCs remain unclear. Human NSCLCs cells were incubated with miR-302a-3pmimic or inhibitor in the presence or absence of erastin or RSL3. Cell...
