Objective: To investigate the expressions of lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) receptors at both mRNA and protein levels and their biological significance in different human ovarian cancer cell lines.
Methods: Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), streptovidin peroxidase-conjugated (SP) immunohistochemical assay and Western blotting were employed to measure the expression levels of LPA(1), LPA(2) and LPA(3) mRNA and LPA(2) and LPA(3) protein in cultured human ovarian cancer cell lines 3AO.SKOV3, and OVCAR3.
Results: All the ovarian cancer cell lines expressed LPA(1), LPA(2) and LPA(3) mRNAs and LPA(2) and LPA(3) proteins.
Conclusion: LPA(1), LPA(2) and LPA(3) expressions occur extensively in human epithelial ovarian cancer cell lines, and LPA(2) and LPA(3) may be involved in the development and progression of human ovarian cancer.

Lysine acetyltransferase 2B (KAT2B) plays a crucial role in epigenetic regulation and tumor pathogenesis. Our study investigates KAT2B's function in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) using in vivo and in vitro methods. Immunohistochemistry showed the KAT2B expression in EOC tissues.

Uterine tumor resembling ovarian sex cord tumor (UTROSCT) is a rare, typically benign uterine tumor occurring over a wide age range (mean 52.4 yr). UTROSCTs often harbor translocations between ESR1 and nuclear receptor coactivators NCOA1-NCOA3.

Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) is an endometriosis-related neoplasm, in which traditional histologic grading does not show prognostic significance. Tumor budding was associated with poorer outcomes in OCCC in previous studies. We aimed to evaluate the prognostic significance of tumor budding in OCCC in an independent cohort.

Although breast, cervical, endometrial, and ovarian cancers account for more than 43% of new cases in 2023 in Brazilian women, no national studies were found on the incidence, risk factors, and prevention of breast and gynecological neoplasms in lesbian women, causing the health needs of non-heterosexual women to go unnoticed by professionals. This study aims to identify and analyze the search for healthcare related to the prevention of breast/gynecological cancer among Brazilian lesbian cisgender women who have not had the disease. Seven lesbian women participated in this qualitative study.
