As a molecular marker of the female reproductive system, Paired Box 8 is widely used in pathological diagnosis of gynecological tumors, but it is not clear whether its expression level is related to the development of uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma and molecular subtype classifications. Here, we show that PAX8 is up-regulated in TP53 mutation category of UCEC, which is result from the low methylation level of PAX8 in UCEC. We have identified that genes connected to ribosome, lysosome, ribosome biogenesis and cell cycle as PAX8 targets and demonstrate that modulation of the PAX8-DDX5 interaction influences c-MYC related cell cycle and cell growth.

Understanding the molecular mechanisms of EOC will help develop better diagnostics and more effective treatments. This study aimed to investigate whether long non-coding RNA ADAMTS9-AS1 (ADAMTS9-AS1) could regulate solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11) expression and inhibit ferroptosis by sponging micoRNA-587 in EOC progression.

In the current study, we aimed to explore the expression pattern and functions of miR-330-3p in OC. The expression level of miR-330-3p in OC tissues and cell lines was detected using RT-qPCR.

The aim of our study was to investigate the prevalence, risk factors, and prognostic value of chemotherapy-associated VTE in OC.
Methods: Three databases (PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library) were systematically searched from inception to October 14, 2020.
Previous studies indicated that long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) were involved in the progression of multiple cancers including ovarian cancer (OV). LncRNA ELFN1-AS1 functioned as an oncogene in many cancers, but its potential roles in OV were largely unclear. In the current study, we were aimed at clarifying the biological roles and molecular mechanisms of ELFN1-AS1 in OV.
