Resistance to cisplatin and paclitaxel does not affect the sensitivity of human ovarian cancer cells to antiprogestin-induced cytotoxicity

Journal of ovarian research ·doi:10.1186/1757-2215-7-45

BACKGROUND: Antiprogestin compounds have been shown to be effective in blocking the growth of ovarian cancer cells of different genetic backgrounds. Herein we studied the anti-ovarian cancer effect of a series of antiprogestins sharing the …

Synergistic lethality of mifepristone and LY294002 in ovarian cancer cells

Cancer growth and metastasis ·doi:10.4137/cgm.s11124

We have previously shown that the antiprogestin and antiglucocorticoid mifepristone inhibits the growth of ovarian cancer cells. In this work, we hypothesized that cellular stress caused by mifepristone is limited to cytostasis and that cel…
