Propofol induces ferroptosis and inhibits malignant phenotypes of gastric cancer cells by regulating miR-125b-5p/STAT3 axis

Figure 7 Propofol attenuates growth of gastric cancer cells in vivo. The nude mice were injected with SGC7901 cells and intraperitoneally treated with propofol (50 mg/kg). A: Tumor tissues; B: Tumor volume; and C: Tumor weight; D: Expression of miR-125b-5p was analyzed by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. E: Protein expression of STAT3 was detected by western blotting. F: Protein expression of GPX4 and SLC7A11 was measured by western blotting. n = 5, mean ± SD, ^bP < 0.01.
