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

“…An analysis of patient tumor burden before and after the niraparib challenge showed a remarkable vulnerability of OC intraperitoneal metastases to niraparib exposure. This killing capacity of niraparib was closely associated with the accumulation of fatty acids within the abdomen, which was confirmed by the increased susceptibility of tumor cells to niraparib treatment in the presence of fatty acids. …”
