NEK2 and gastric cancer: Calcein-AM/PI staining was used to detect the ratio of live and dead cells, qRT-PCR and Western blot were used to identify the mRNA and protein levels of genes in cells, immunofluorescence staining was used to analyze the localization of Nrf2 in cells, RNA-seq was used to analyze changes in mRNA expression profile, and combined with the FerrDb database, ferroptosis-related molecules were screened to elucidate the impact of NEK2 on the sensitivity of gastric cancer cells to ferroptosis.
