Data set Contents
The data set consists of a compressed folder, named Dataset_Miglietta_et_al_2024.zip, containing 3 main folders: 
* Folder_1 contains data showing that high MCJ levels sensitize OC cells to CDDP and decrease their proliferative capability
* Folder_2 contains data showing that high levels of MCJ trigger ferroptosis in CDDP-resistant OC cells
* Folder_3 contains data showing that MCJ-dependent lipid peroxidation triggers ferroptotic CDDP sensitivity
Each folder contains numerical data used for the generation of graphs in .csv format and images in .tif or .png formats.
Data set Documentation
Abstract
MCJ is a mitochondrial Tim23-related co-chaperonin known for its role in regulating oxidative phosphorylation efficiency, oxidative stress response and lipid metabolism. Recently, it has been proposed that the loss of MCJ correlates with cisplatin (CDDP)-resistance onset in ovarian cancer (OC), suggesting this protein as a potential prognostic factor during OC progression. However, the molecular mechanisms through which MCJ contributes to CDDP response remains poorly investigated. The present dataset collect data regarding the association between MCJ levels and accumulation of lipid droplets, tumorigenic features and sensitivity to CDDP in OC cells. Moreover, this dataset provides information on lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis induction in cells overexpressing MCJ, in presence or absence of Ferrostatin 1.
