Objective: To study explores the effect of HLEC on the secreted proteins of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) cells (SKOV3-PM4) with directional highly lymphatic metastasis.
Methods: Supernatants of four groups of cultured cells, namely, SKOV3 (A), SKOV3+HLEC (B), SKOV3-PM4 (C), SKOV3-PM4+HLEC (D), were collected, and their proteins were detected by antibody arrays and iTRAQ-2D-LC-MALDI-TOF/TOF/MS. Significantly differential proteins were further analyzed via bioinformatics and validated in human serums and cell media via ELISA.
Background & Objective: The ovarian serous papillary adenocarcinoma cell line SKOV3 and its subclones SKOV3-pm2 and SKOV3-pm3 are cell models to investigate the molecular mechanism of invasion and metastasis of ovarian cancers. This study was to screen differentially expressed proteins between ovarian carcinoma cell lines with directional (SKOV3-pm2 and SKOV3-pm3) and non-directional (SKOV3) highly lymphatic metastasis potentials using time-of-flight mass spectrometry technology and protein chips.
Methods: The lymphatic metastasis rates of the three cell lines were detected in animal models.
Objective: To establish a human ovarian carcinoma cell line with directional highly lymphatic metastasis and to study their biological characteristics.
Methods: The clone cells of ovarian carcinoma, SKOV3, were inoculated into the hind foot pad of nude mice. The cancer cells of lymph node metastatic foci were transplanted into nude mice again when the metastatic nude of mice were observed.
