LDHA and ovarian cancer: Moreover, the potential chemo-sensitizing effects of DSF on ALDH-associated cisplatin-resistant ovarian cancer stem cells were also investigated and shown that in contrast to its high resistance to cisplatin, the cisplatin-resistant cells remain very sensitive to DSF-induced cytotoxicity (apoptosis and necrosis: cisplatin-resistant cells vs. parental cells: 60.4% vs. 20.5%).
