Experiment 1 Reporting the Ferroptosis-centered Drug Act on This Target [1]
Responsed Disease Colon cancer ICD-11: 2B90
Responsed Regulator E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase Mdm2 (MDM2) Suppressor
Pathway Response Ferroptosis hsa04216
Cell Process Cell ferroptosis
In Vitro Model HCT 116 cells Colon carcinoma Homo sapiens CVCL_0291
HT29 cells Colon cancer Mus musculus CVCL_A8EZ
RKO cells Colon carcinoma Homo sapiens CVCL_0504
LoVo cells Colon adenocarcinoma Homo sapiens CVCL_0399
SW620 cells Colon adenocarcinoma Homo sapiens CVCL_0547
In Vivo Model
HCT-116 cells (5 x 106) were injected into the flanks of 6-week-old male BALB/c nude mice to generate xenografts. The mice were randomly divided into four groups (n = 7 per group), and treatment was started at 96 h postinjection. The mice received an intraperitoneal injection (i.p.) of 0.9% saline solution containing 5% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) (vehicle for blank control) and ginkgetin (10 mg/kg) once a day, respectively, and 5-FU (30 mg/kg) was used as the positive control (i.p., once every 3 days, alternately).

Response regulation Ginkgo biflavones can increase the expression level of p53 by inhibiting the expression of MDM2 protein and induce cell death independent of p53 transcriptional activity in vitro. And we provide evidence that ginkgetin strengthened the antitumor effect of fluorouracil (5-FU) in the HCT-116 colon cancer xenograft model.
