Target for Ferroptosis Suppressor
Responsed Disease Ovarian cancer ICD-11: 2C73
Pathway Response Ferroptosis hsa04216
Cell Process Cell ferroptosis
In Vitro Model SK-OV-3 cells Ovarian serous cystadenocarcinoma Homo sapiens CVCL_0532
OVCAR-3 cells Ovarian serous adenocarcinoma Homo sapiens CVCL_0465
In Vivo Model
Athymic nu/nu female mice aged 6-8 weeks (n = 9; mean weight, 20.21 ± 1.54 g) were purchased from the specific pathogen SPF (Beijing) Lab Animals Technology Co. Ltd. Mice were housed in a temperature- and humidity-controlled environment (20-24 , 45-55% humidity), with free access to food and water and in groups of three. All procedures were reviewed and approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC ID: 17-3256) at Nantong University and performed in accordance with the NIH Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals.

Response regulation Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2), heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1), glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) and solute carrier family 7 member 11 (xCT) expression levels were significantly decreased following norcantharidin (NCTD) treatment. Collectively, NCTD may represent a potent anticancer agent in ovarian cancer cells, and NCTD-induced ferroptotic cell death may be achieved by inhibiting the NRF2/HO-1/GPX4/xCT axis.
