Yang et al. reported that tectorigenin increases the sensitivity of paclitaxel in paclitaxel-resistant ovarian tumor (SKVO3, MPSC1, and A27800) cell lines by activating caspase-3/-8/-9 and downregulating XIAP, Bcl-2, COX-2, FLIP, IkB, IKK, and Akt, which suggests that it increases the sensitivity and cytotoxicity by inactivating Akt/IkB/IKK/NF-kβ pathway [93]. This evidence concerns the gene AKT1 and ovarian neoplasm.
