Abstract

Objective: Ovarian cancer remains the principal cause of gynecologic cancer death worldwide. The standard chemotherapeutic approaches to this cancer are platinum-based chemotherapy (carboplatin and paclitaxel) and bevacizumab (BEV). However, the effects of both platinum-based chemotherapy and BEV on mitochondrial damage in isolated mitochondria from human epithelial ovarian cancers have not yet been investigated. Therefore, the present study aimed to test the hypothesis that platinum-based chemotherapy and BEV equally damage the mitochondria from human epithelial ovarian cancers via increased mitochondrial dysfunction, mitophagy, and mitochondrial apoptosis.
