Apatinib combined with olaparib induces ferroptosis via a p53-dependent manner in ovarian cancer.
Article in Journal of cancer research and clinical oncology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivePARP inhibitors combined with antiangiogenic drugs have been reported to improve outcomes in BRCA wild-type ovarian cancer patients, the mechanism of the combination is unclear. In this study, we explored the mechanism of apatinib combined with olaparib in the treatment of ovarian cancer.
methodsIn this study, human ovarian cancer cell lines A2780 and OVCAR3 were used as experimental objects, and the expression of ferroptosis-related protein GPX4 after treatment with apatinib and olaparib was detected by Western blot. The SuperPred database was used to predict the target of the combined action of apatinib and olaparib, and the predicted results were verified by Western blot experiment to explore the mechanism of ferroptosis induced by apatinib and olaparib.
resultsApatinib combined with olaparib-induced ferroptosis in p53 wild-type cells, and p53 mutant cells developed drug resistance. The p53 activator RITA sensitized drug-resistant cells to ferroptosis induced by apatinib combined with olaparib. Apatinib combined with olaparib-induced ferroptosis via a p53-dependent manner in ovarian cancer. Further studies showed that apatinib combined with olaparib-induced ferroptosis by inhibiting the expression of Nrf2 and autophagy, thereby inhibiting the expression of GPX4. The Nrf2 activator RTA408 and the autophagy activator rapamycin rescued the combination drug-induced ferroptosis.
conclusionThis discovery revealed the specific mechanism of ferroptosis induced by apatinib combined with olaparib in p53 wild-type ovarian cancer cells and provided a theoretical basis for the clinical combined use of apatinib and olaparib in p53 wild-type ovarian cancer patients.
