Oxaliplatin and 5-Fluorouracil induce p53-p21-pRb-associated cell cycle arrest and a transient senescence-like phenotype in patient-derived low-grade serous ovarian cancer cells

Rewati Prakash, Benjamin N. Forgie, Alicia Alejandra Goyeneche…·Carlos Marcelo Telleria

This study shows that oxaliplatin and 5-fluorouracil induce a transient senescence-like phenotype and G0/G1-phase arrest in LGSOC cells via the p53-p21-pRb pathway, without killing the cells.

The gold complex auranofin sensitizes platinum resistant epithelial ovarian cancer cells to cisplatin

Farah H. Abdalbari, Benjamin N. Forgie, Edith Zorychta…·Carlos Marcelo Telleria

This study shows that auranofin enhances cisplatin's effectiveness in platinum-resistant ovarian cancer cells by inducing apoptosis and DNA damage.

Auranofin induces lethality driven by reactive oxygen species in high-grade serous ovarian cancer cells

Farah H. Abdalbari, Elvis Martinez-Jaramillo, Benjamin N. Forgie…·Carlos Marcelo Telleria

This study shows auranofin induces ROS-mediated apoptosis in HGSOC cells, which can be enhanced by L-BSO through synergistic ROS and GSH depletion.
