Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), the most predominant subtype of ovarian cancer (OC), involves poor prognosis and exhibits high aggression. Triptolide (TPL), like other Chinese herbs, has historically played a significant role in modern medicine. The screening system based on Gli-dependent luciferase reporter activity assessed the effects of over 800 natural medicinal materials on hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway activity and discovered that TPL had an excellent inhibitory effect on Hh signaling pathway activity.

Accumulating evidence suggests that PANoptosis plays a crucial role in tumorigenesis. However, the respective regulation mechanisms in cancer are so far unclear.

The membrane transporter encoding gene positively regulates chemotherapy resistance in various cancer types.

Previous studies by our group have identified a set of genes, including multidrug resistance gene 1 (MDR1), that are regulated by Hh signaling in ovarian cancer. However, the association between Hh signaling activation and MDR1 expression requires further validation.
