In Vivo Model
Male nude mice (ages 6-8 weeks) used in the studies were purchased from Hunan SJA Laboratory Animal Co. (Changsha, China). Male nude mice were subcutaneously injected with MGC-803cells into the right flank of mouse. Once the tumor volume reached 100-200 mm3, mice were randomly divided into 5 groups (6 mice/group) and administered with saline,a2(5, 10, and 20 mg/kg), or 5-fluorouracil (5-FU, 15mg/kg) once a day for 21 daysviatail vein injection.

Response regulation (6R,6aR,9S,11bS,14R)-4,4-Dimethyl-8-methylene-7,11,12-trioxododecahydro-1H-6,11b-(epoxymethano)-6a,9-methanocyclohepta[a]naphthalen-14-yl valinate (a2), a new JDA derivative, inhibited the growth of gastric cancer cells. Importantly, compounda2decreased GPX4 expression and overexpressing GPX4 antagonized the anti-proliferative activity ofa2. Furthermore, a2caused ferrous iron accumulation through the autophagy pathway, prevention of which rescueda2induced ferrous iron elevation and cell growth inhibition.
