Furthermore, Chromatin immunoprecipitation confirmed the correlation between AhR and solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11) and ferroptosis induction experiment confirmed that AhR affects ferroptosis via SLC7A11. Specifically, AhR regulates ferroptosis-related SLC7A11, which affects ferroptosis and promotes NSCLC progression. Here, SLC7A11 is linked to non-small cell lung carcinoma.
