GLP1R boosts survival, migration and invasion of endometrial cancer cells and protects against ferroptotic cell death by Wu Li, Wen Lyu, Songjun Liu, Fan Ruan, Xinmei Zhang

“…Moreover, GLP1R lowered intracellular ROS level and expression of SLC7A11, and FTH1, but mitigated GPX4 expression in AN3CA cells.Conclusion In a word, GLP1R was up-regulated in EC and its up-regulation facilitated the proliferative and metastatic potentials, and protected cells from ferroptosis, thereby accelerating EC progression. These data emphasised the potency of GLP1R as a therapeutic agent against EC.…”
