Niraparib restricts intraperitoneal metastases of ovarian cancer by eliciting CD36-dependent ferroptosis by Ning Jin, Yi-yu Qian, Xiao-fei Jiao, Zhen Wang, Xin Li, Wen Pan, Jin-kai Jiang, Pu Huang, Si-yuan Wang, Ping Jin, Qing-lei Gao, Dan Liu, Yu Xia

“…In the context of abundant fatty acids, niraparib elevated intracellular levels of fatty acids and lipid peroxidation, leading to subsequent tumor cell ferroptosis in a p53 and BRCA-independent manner. Notably, under niraparib exposure, a critical fatty acid transporter CD36 was dramatically upregulated in tumors, facilitating excessive uptake of fatty acids. …”
