Figure 4. POL increased ACSL4 expression in a concentration gradient-dependent manner. JC-1 analysis showed that POL decreased MMP in SKOV3 (A) and Hey (B) cells (20×). FerroOrange staining showed that POL increased Fe2+ levels in SKOV3 (C) and Hey (D) cells (20×). Western blot assay revealed that POL increased the protein expression level of ACSL4 in SKOV3 (E) and Hey (F) in a concentration gradient-dependent manner. **P < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 vs. Con.
