Costunolide Inhibits the Growth of OAW42-A Multidrug-Resistant Human Ovarian Cancer Cells by Activating Apoptotic and Autophagic Pathways, Production of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), Cleaved Caspase-3 and Cleaved Caspase-9
2019
Background
Worldwide, ovarian cancer has a high mortality rate due to the difficulty in diagnosing early-stage disease and resistance to chemotherapy agents. Costunolide is a plant-derived sesquiterpene lactone with anti-oxidant properties. This study aimed to investigate the effects of costunolide on cell growth, apoptosis, autophagy, the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), cleaved caspase-3, and cleaved caspase-9 on the multidrug-resistant ovarian cancer cell line, OAW42-A.
