Objective: To explore the levels of TRAP1 and its roles in patients with ovarian tumor, and investigate the correlation between the expressions of TRAP1 in ovarian tumor tissues and related clinicopathological characteristics.

Methods: 38 health women, 50 cases of benign ovarian tumors and 114 cases of epithelial ovarian cancers were examined by real-time RT-PCR and immunohistochemical staining.

Results: The immunohistochemical analysis demonstrated that TRAP1 protein was mainly located in the cytoplasm, the protein and mRNA expression of TRAP1 in ovarian cancer were significantly increased compared with those of normal control and benign tumor (P < 0.05). The protein and mRNA expression of TRAP1 was related to histological grade and pathologic types (P < 0.05), but not age, clinical stages, lymphnode metastasis or omental metastasis, and the amount of ascites (P > 0.05).

Conclusion: The high expression of TRAP1 may play potential role in epithelial ovarian cancer occurrence and progress.

Background: The pathogenesis of ovarian cancer (OvCa) involves a complex interplay of genetic, environmental, and hormonal factors. With the in-depth exploration of tumor ecosystem, exosomes can mediate the immunological status of tumor microenvironment (TME). Therefore, we aimed to recognize the tumor-derived exosomes (TEXs) which can distinguish the immune-hot and cold tumors and reflect the immunotherapeutic responses.

MUC1 and glycan probing of CA19-9 captured biomarkers from cyst fluids and serum provides enhanced recognition of ovarian cancer.

Glycosylation changes of circulating proteins carrying the CA19-9 antigen may offer new targets for detection methods to be explored for the diagnosis of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). Search for assay designs for targets initially captured by a CA19-9 antigen reactive antibody from human body fluids by probing with fluorescent nanoparticles coated with lectins or antibodies to known EOC associated proteins. CA19-9 antigens were immobilized from ascites fluids, ovarian cyst fluids or serum samples using monoclonal antibody C192 followed by probing of carrier proteins using anti-MUC16, anti-MUC1 and, anti STn antibodies and seven lectins, all separately coated on nanoparticles.

Currently, Ovarian Cancer (OC) is the most lethal gynecological malignancy. In most patients, it progresses without clinical signs or symptoms, leading to a late diagnosis when it has already spread in the peritoneal cavity as peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC). To date, OC PC management is based on cytoreductive surgery to remove the macroscopic disease, followed by chemotherapy.

Olaparib Combined with DDR Inhibitors Effectively Prevents EMT and Affects miRNA Regulation in -Mutated Epithelial Ovarian Cancer Cell Lines.

Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) remains a leading cause of gynecologic cancer mortality. Despite advances in treatment, metastatic progression and resistance to standard therapies significantly worsen patient outcomes. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a critical process in metastasis, enabling cancer cells to gain invasive and migratory capabilities, often driven by changing miRNA expression involved in the regulation of pathological processes like drug resistance.
