In Vivo Model
NU/NU mice (the Fourth Military Medical University, Shaanxi, China) were injected with 143B cells (100 uL, 5 x 107 cells/mL, i.h.). Seven days after the injection, the mice were divided into 6 different groups (n= 3) and intraperitoneally injected with different drugs twice a week. Then, on day 28, the mice were sacrificed, and the tumours in the different groups were weighed. Body weight and tumour size were measured every 3 days from day 7 to day 28. The tumour tissue was fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde, embedded in paraffin, and cut into 4 um thick sections for haematoxylin-eosin (H&E) and immunofluorescence staining.

Response regulation Ursolic acid inhibited tumour cell proliferation and promoted the apoptosis of a variety of osteosarcoma cells. Mechanistic studies showed that ursolic acid degraded ferritin by activating autophagy and induced intracellular overload of ferrous ions, leading to ferroptosis. Ferritin, which includes ferritin light peptide 1 (FTL1) and ferritin heavy peptide 1 (FTH1).
