Introduction: Ovarian cancer is of worldwide importance, and has a significantly high mortality rate due to therapy failure. Drug resistance might be one of most importance factors. Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) have been reported to be a new class of promising anti-tumor agents, thus this study aimed to investigate the effect of HDAC on the chemo-resistance genes of human ovarian carcinoma cell lines.
Methods: The expressions of ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporter genes, multidrug-resistant protein (MDR1) and multidrug resistance-associated proteins (MRP1 and 2) of ovarian cancer cell lines OC-109 and SK-OV-3 after HDACi treatment were determined.
Results: HDACi, including sodium butyrate (NaB), suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) and trichostatin A (TSA) reduced ovarian cancer cell viability from 4.4% to 68.8%, in both dose- and time-dependent manners. The effect of HDACi on MDR1, MRP1, and MRP2 showed induced expression of MDR1 mRNA, but reduced mRNA expression of MRP1 and MRP2.
Conclusions: The effect of HDACi on the reduced viability of ovarian cancer cell lines, concomitant with the induced expression of MDR1 and reduced expression of MRP1 and 2, might provide additional benefits in the management of ovarian cancers in the future.

Background: Ovarian cancer (OC), particularly high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC), is the leading cause of mortality from gynecological malignancies worldwide. Despite the initial effectiveness of treatment, acquired resistance to poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPis) represents a major challenge for the clinical management of HGSOC, highlighting the necessity for the development of novel therapeutic strategies. This study investigated the role of 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase 3 (PFKFB3), a pivotal regulator of glycolysis, in PARPi resistance and explored its potential as a therapeutic target to overcome PARPi resistance.

Background: Ovarian cancers (OC) and cervical cancers (CC) have poor survival rates. Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) play a pivotal role in prognosis, but shared immune mechanisms remain elusive.
Methods: We integrated single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and spatial transcriptomics (ST) to explore immune regulation in OC and CC, focusing on the PI3K/AKT pathway and FLT3 as key modulators.

The development of resistance remains one of the biggest challenges in clinical cancer patient care and it comprises all treatment modalities from chemotherapy to targeted or immune therapy. In solid malignancies, drug resistance is the result of adaptive processes occurring in cancer cells or the surrounding tumor microenvironment (TME). Future therapy attempts will therefore benefit from targeting both, tumor and stroma compartments and drug targets which affect both sides will be highly appreciated.

The aim of the study is to analyze the relationship between personality traits of women with hereditary predisposition to breast/ovarian cancer and their obstetric history and cancer-preventive behaviors. A total of 357 women, participants of 'The National Program for Families With Genetic/Familial High Risk for Cancer', were included in the study. The Neo Five-Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI) and a standardized original questionnaire designed for the purpose of the study were used.

Patients with High-Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer (HGSOC) exhibit varied responses to treatment, with 20-30% showing de novo resistance to platinum-based chemotherapy. While hematoxylin-eosin (H&E)-stained pathological slides are used for routine diagnosis of cancer type, they may also contain diagnostically useful information about treatment response. Our study demonstrates that combining H&E-stained whole slide images (WSIs) with proteomic signatures using a multimodal deep learning framework significantly improves the prediction of platinum response in both discovery and validation cohorts.
