can reverse this effect. In summary, this study confirms that the PHD1/HIF-1α/miR-210/ANGPTL4 pathway mediates Ni-induced suppression of ferroptosis, thereby promoting malignant transformation in Beas-2B cells. Conversely, chrysin mitigates Ni-induced lung injury by regulating PHD1/HIF-1α-induced ferroptosis in 2B-Ni cells. These findings offer essential theoretical support and potential targets for evaluating Ni's carcinogenic risk and developing ferroptosis-targeted anti-tumor therapies.
