Zoledronic acid induces ferroptosis by reducing ubiquinone and promoting HMOX1 expression in osteosarcoma cells

Aims: Ferroptosis plays important roles in tumorigenesis and cancer therapy. Zoledronic acid is known to inhibit the activity of farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase, a key enzyme in the mevalonate pathway. We examined whether zoledronic acid can inhibit the growth of osteosarcoma cells by inducing ferro...
