Previous studies have reported that human ACC cells NCI-H295R cell line was sensitive to ferroptosis induction, and the mRNA level of SLC7A11 was higher in ACCs than in normal adrenal glands (nAGs) and its low expression was significantly associated with good OS of ACC patients (Belavgeni et al., 2019; Weigand et al., 2020). Here, SLC7A11 is linked to adrenal cortex carcinoma.
