Furthermore, dihydroartemisinin (DHA) induces NCOA4-mediated ferritinophagy in cervical cancer, leading to increased labile iron pool (LIP), enhanced Fenton reaction, and excessive ROS production, triggering ferroptosis, and sensitizing cervical cancer cells to doxorubicin (Shi et al., 2023). This evidence concerns the gene NCOA4 and cervical carcinoma.
