Triptolide inhibits JAK2/STAT3 signaling and induces lethal autophagy through ROS generation in cisplatin‑resistant SKOV3/DDP ovarian cancer cells

Advanced and recurrent ovarian cancer has a poor prognosis and is frequently resistant to numerous therapeutics; thus, safe and effective drugs are needed to combat this disease. Previous studies have demonstrated that triptolide (TPL) exhibits anticancer and sensitization effects against cisplatin (DDP)‑resistant ovarian cancer both in vitro and in vivo by inducing apoptosis; however, the involvement of autophagy induced by TPL in resistant...
