Neuroblastoma (NB) is a kind of typical life-threatening extracranial tumor in children. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification closely related to multiple cancer pathological processes. Insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA binding protein 3 (IGF2BP3) top-ranked prognostic risk gene NB; however, its function uncertain. The expression m6A-associated enzymes patients with NB was analyzed using the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and Therapeutically Applicable Research Generate Effective Treatments...

Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent cell death process mainly triggered by reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lipid peroxidation. Thioredoxin domain protein 12 (TXNDC12) promotes the development of some tumors; however, its function in tumor ferroptosis remains unclear. In this study, we found that knockdown TXNDC12 promoted erastin-induced increase ROS, peroxidation, Fe2+ levels, decreased glutathione content. involved regulating SLC7A11. Further studies showed decrease glioma viability....
