Tumor-associated lymphatic endothelial cells (TLEC) could play a key role in the process of tumor metastasis. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of TLECs that were isolated from human epithelial ovarian tumor (EOT) on ovarian cancer cell line CAOV-3 in vitro. First, TLECs in EOT were detected by immunochemistry and flow cytometry, then marked by lymphatic endothelial cell (LEC) marker LYVE-1, isolated by magnetic beads, and cultured in vitro. The cells were identified by immunostaining of LEC markers LYVE-1, Prox-1, Podoplanin, VEGFR-3, and pan-endothelial cell marker CD31. TLECs from EOT can be detected, cultured, and identified in vitro successfully. The effects of TLECs on invasion and migration of CAOV-3 cells were investigated by 12-well Boyden chamber; the proliferation effect was studied by counting the Trypan blue exclusion cell number. Furthermore, changes in MMP-2/9 secreted by CAOV-3 cells treated with TLEC were shown using real-time PCR and zymography, and TIMP-1/2 was detected by real-time PCR. In vitro, TLECs can enhance invasion and migration of CAOV-3 cells, but have no significant effect on proliferation. It was clear that the expression of MMP-9 increased and TIMP-2 decreased in CAOV-3 cells treated by TLECs, and the increasing of MMP-9 was confirmed by zymography. TLECs from EOT can enhance migration and invasion of human ovarian carcinoma cell line in vitro, and the possible mechanism was through activation of MMP-9/TIMP-2.

This study primarily investigated the mechanism of Astragalus polysaccharides(APS), a Chinese medicinal material, in regulating the Nrf2/SLC7A11/GPX4 signaling pathway to induce ferroptosis in ovarian cancer cells(Caov-3 and SKOV3 cells). Caov-3 and SKOV3 cells were divided into control(Vehicle) group, APS group, glutathione peroxidase 4 inhibitor(RSL3) group, and APS+RSL3 group. After 48 h of intervention, the activity and morphology of the cells in each group were observed.

Introduction: Cannabinoids are reported to suppress the growth of ovarian cancer cells, but it is unclear whether structural modifications can improve their cytotoxic effects.
Methods: Herein, an investigation into the antiproliferative effects of natural cannabinoids on human ovarian cancer Caov-3 cells identified cannabidiol (CBD) as the most promising cannabinoid. Furthermore, chemical modifications of CBD yielded a group of derivatives with enhanced cytotoxicity in Caov-3 cells.

Over 75% percent of ovarian cancer patients are diagnosed with advanced-stage disease characterized by unresectable intraperitoneal dissemination and the presence of ascites, or excessive fluid build-up within the abdomen. Conventional treatments include cytoreductive surgery followed by multi-line platinum and taxane chemotherapy regimens. Despite an initial response to treatment, over 75% of patients with advanced-stage ovarian cancer will relapse and succumb to platinum-resistant disease.

Bisphenol A (BPA) has been a substantial additive in plastics until the reports on its adverse effects have led to its restrictions and replacement. Monitoring studies document the increasing occurrence of bisphenol analogs, however, data on their effects and risks is still insufficient. Based on the indications that BPA might contribute to ovarian cancer pathogenesis, we examined effects of the analogs AF (BPAF), S (BPS) and F (BPF) (10-10 M) on the Caov-3 epithelial cancer cells, including the impact on cell viability, proliferation, oxidative stress, and production and expression of several factors and genes related to ovarian cancer.

Ovarian cancer is a common malignant tumor in women, with a high mortality rate ranking first among gynecological tumors. Currently, there is insufficient understanding of the causes, pathogenesis, recurrence and metastasis of ovarian cancer, and early diagnosis and treatment still face great challenges. The sensitivity and specificity of existing ovarian cancer screening methods are still unsatisfactory.
