Abstract:Cisplatin (DDP) based chemotherapy occurs a reduced therapeutic effect on the later treatment of ovarian cancer (OC) due to DDP resistance. Astragaloside II (ASII), a natural product extracted from Radix Astragali, has shown promising anticancer effects. However, the effects of ASII on OC have not been clarified. In this study, we found that ASII inhibited cell growth and promoted cell apoptosis of DDP-resistant OC cells in vitro and in vivo. Further study showed that ASII downregulated multidrug resistance-re… Show more
