Moreover, Se-PC PDT treatment may dilute tumor metabolism and proliferation by depressing the activity of the glucose transporter GLUT1 (gene Slc2a1) and the iron transport-related factors LCN2 (gene Lcn2) and transferrin (gene Trf), which reduce the synthesis of hemoglobin and inhibit ferroptosis. This evidence concerns the gene LCN2 and neoplasm.
