Fifteen ferroptosis related genes play a broad regulatory role in NP cells during rats IDD. A The DEGs in NP cells of rat IDD were cross-enriched with ferroptosis drivers in the FerrDb database, and 15 ferroptosis-related genes were obtained. B The heatmap of 15 ferroptosis-related genes expression in rat NP cells. C Pair-wise Pearson correlation heatmap shows the associations between 15 ferroptosis genes. D GO analysis of 15 ferroptosis-related genes. E KEGG enrichment analysis of 15 ferroptosis related genes
