This elevated ROS production was inhibited by NADPH oxidase inhibitor diphenylene iodonium (DPI) and mitochondria electron chain inhibitor rotenone in the cells.
To further analyze the source of ROS production, we found that ovarian cancer cells have much higher expression of NOX4 NADPH oxidase, and that specific inhibition of NADPH oxidase subunit p47 (phox) diminished ROS production.

Mesothelioma cells showed much higher superoxide production (revealed by cytochrome c reduction assay) and NOX4 expression (revealed by Western blot) than mesothelial cells.
Two inhibitors of cellular superoxide sources, apocynin and rotenone, reduced ascorbate cytotoxicity and the ascorbate-induced rise in rhodamine fluorescence.
