Background: Intensive chemotherapy is widely used to improve the outcome of aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Since these regimens may cause premature ovarian failure (POF), the ovarian function was studied in 13 consecutive women aged < or =40 years, treated with four cycles of intensified CHOP (cyclophosphamide 2000-3000 mg/m2 per cycle doxorubicin 50 mg/m2, vincristine 1.4 mg/m2 (maximum 2 mg) and prednisone 100 mg/day were given every 3 weeks).
Methods: Patients aged <60 years with aggressive NHL were eligible for participating in a non-randomized phase II study if they had stage I, II, B, bulky, or stages III, IV disease with the age-adjusted international prognostic index of low-intermediate to high-risk score. Seven patients were concomitantly treated with D-TRP6-GnRH analogue (Decapeptyl; Ferring, Germany) for minimizing gonadal toxicity.
Results: With a median follow-up of 70 months only one patient had POF, while 12 patients retained fertility and eight conceived spontaneously delivering 12 healthy babies.
Conclusion: It appears that high-dose cyclophosphamide does not affect the ovarian function or fertility in patients exposed to this medication during four consecutive cycles of intensified CHOP.

Apolipoprotein B100 acts as a tumor suppressor in ovarian cancer via lipid/ER stress axis-induced blockade of autophagy.

Ovarian cancer presents a significant treatment challenge due to its insidious nature and high malignancy. As autophagy is a vital cellular process for maintaining homeostasis, targeting the autophagic pathway has emerged as an avenue for cancer therapy. In the present study, we identify apolipoprotein B100 (ApoB100), a key modulator of lipid metabolism, as a potential prognostic biomarker of ovarian cancer.

The distinctive characteristics of an individual's T cell receptor repertoire are crucial in recognizing and responding to a diverse array of antigens, contributing to immune specificity and adaptability. The repertoire, famously vast due to a series of cellular mechanisms, can be quantified using repertoire sequencing. In this study, we sampled the repertoire of 85 women: ovarian cancer patients (OC) and healthy donors (HD), generating a dataset of T cell clones and their abundance.

Aims: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is closely associated with metabolic disorders such as insulin resistance and obesity, but the role of adipogenesis in its pathophysiology remains unclear. This study investigates the role of adipogenesis in PCOS development and evaluates whether hyperoside (HPS), an anti-adipogenic herbal compound, can improve PCOS by inhibiting adipogenesis.
Main Methods: A combination of in vivo and in vitro models was used to assess the impact of HPS on ovarian function, insulin resistance, and adipogenesis.

Ovarian granulosa cells produce a variety of biologically active compounds in addition to steroid hormones that include numerous families of growth factors, cytokines and adipokines. Many of these function as endocrine, paracrine and autocrine hormones to regulate ovarian activity. The goal of this review is to provide an update on the evidence in domestic animals on how FSH, insulin and IGF1 regulate the function of granulosa cells with a focus on ovarian steroidogenesis and cell proliferation with comparisons across six domestic animals: pigs, cattle, horses, water buffalo, goats and sheep.

Only a few human ovarian endometrioid carcinoma cell lines are currently available, partly due to the difficulty of establishing cell lines from low-grade cancers. Here, using a cell immortalization strategy consisting of i) inactivation of the p16-pRb pathway by constitutive expression of mutant cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (R24C) (CDK4) and cyclin D1, and ii) acquisition of telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) activity, we established a human ovarian endometrioid carcinoma cell line from a 46-year-old Japanese woman. That line, designated JFE-21, has proliferated continuously for over 6 months with a doubling time of ~ 55 h.
