CMP induced ovarian cancer cell ferroptosis by downregulating Nrf2. SKOV3 and Hey cells were treated with 100 µg/ml CMP for 24 h. RT-PCR analysis showed that CMP reduced (A) Nrf2 and (B) HO-1 mRNA levels but increased the (C) PTGS2 mRNA levels. (D) CMP decreased the expression of Nrf2, HO-1, xCT and GPX4 in SKOV3 and Hey cells. *P<0.05, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001 vs. con. CMP, carboxymethylated pachyman; Nrf2, nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2; HO-1, heme oxygenase-1; PTGS2, prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2; xCT, cystine/glutamate antiporter system X(c)(−); Con, control.
