This study is based on the hypothesis that orphan nuclear receptor 4A1 (NR4A1) and NR4A2 maintain low levels of ferroptosis in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells and bis-indole derived (CDIM) compounds act as NR4A1/2 ligands that induce ferroptosis by enhancing CD71 expression. This evidence concerns the gene NR4A2 and triple-negative breast carcinoma.
