Abstract
In recent years, the risk of ovarian cancer (OC) has become increasingly prevalent. Gemcitabine (GE) provides excellent inhibitory action on some solid tumors, but how it affects OC remains elusive. In the present research, we prepared GE nanoparticles (GEN) and analyzed OC cell viability under its intervention, hoping to conceive novel ideas for future clinical treatment of OC. Through experiments, we observed that the encapsulation efficiency and drug loading of GEN were observably higher than those of GE alone, and the release rate presented a stable slow release state. Under GEN intervention, the viability of OC cells was decreased, the apoptosis rate was elevated, and the apoptosis-related proteins were activated, while CA-125 was suppressed. Therefore, we can see that GEN exert favorable inhibitory action on OC cell viability, whose mechanism may be achieved through activating apoptosis-related proteins and inhibiting CA-125, which may be a new scheme for OC treatment in the future.
