| Core Tip |
This study investigated the effects of estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1) on ovarian cancer. Our findings revealed that ESR1, an overexpressed gene associated with cell stemness and ferroptosis in ovarian cancer, interacts with the Ras homolog (Rho) gene family member A/Rho-associated coiled-coil containing protein kinase signaling pathway. ESR1 knockdown in A2780 cells significantly decreased cell viability and proliferation, while increasing apoptosis. ESR1 silencing also reduced cell stemness (lowered aldehyde dehydrogenase, octamer-binding transcription factor 4, and Nanog) and promoted ferroptosis (increased Fe2+, ferritin heavy chain, and ferritin light chain, and decreased transferrin receptor 1). These inhibitory effects were reversed by treatment with CN03 (a Rho activator), demonstrating that ESR1 regulates ovarian cancer stemness and ferroptosis via the Ras homolog gene family member A/Rho-associated coiled-coil containing protein kinase signaling pathway. |
