Ovarian cancer is one of the deadliest gynecological cancer, with a low overall 5-year survival rate. RDM1, RAD52 motif-containing protein 1, is sensitive to cisplatin, a common chemotherapy drug and it has an important role inDNA damage repair pathway. Until now, the effect of RDM1 in ovarian cancer is undiscovered. Here, clinical data shows that the tumour tissues of ovarian carcinoma patients with higher mRNA and protein expression of RDM1. Knockdown of in ovarian carcinoma cells reduces cell proliferation and promotes apoptosis, consistent with the role RDM1 in the overexpression experiments. The research of xenograft mouse model shows stable knockdown of significantly inhibits ovarian cancer tumour growth. These and results conclude that RDM1 plays an oncogenic role in human ovarian carcinoma. Interestingly, p53/RAD51/RAD52 signalling pathway can be regulated by RDM1, and the negative regulation of p53 by RDM1 may be one of major mechanisms for RDM1 to accomplish its oncogenic functions in ovarian carcinoma. Therefore, RDM1 may be a new target for the treatment of ovarian carcinoma.

Background: There has been limited success of cancer immunotherapies in the treatment of ovarian cancer (OvCa) to date, largely due to the immunosuppressive tumour microenvironment (TME). Tumour-associated macrophages (TAMs) are a major component of both the primary tumour and malignant ascites, promoting tumour growth, angiogenesis, metastasis, chemotherapy resistance and immunosuppression. Differential microRNA (miRNA) profiles have been implicated in the plasticity of TAMs.

Tribbles homolog 2 (TRIB2), a pseudoserine/threonine kinase, is a member of the TRIB family. TRIB2 primarily regulates cell proliferation through its scaffold or adaptor effect on promoting the degradation of target proteins by E3 ligase-dependent ubiquitination and regulating mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and protein kinase B (AKT) signaling pathways. TRIB2 is not only involved in the physiological proliferation of cells (granulosa cells, myoblasts, naive T cells, and thymocytes) during normal development but also in the pathological proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells and a variety of cancer cells (lung cancer cells, liver cancer cells, leukemia cells, pancreatic cancer cells, gastric cancer cells, prostate cancer cells, thyroid cancer cells, cervical cancer cells, melanoma cells, colorectal cancer cells, ovarian cancer cells and osteosarcoma cells) under disease conditions.

Ovarian cancer remains the most lethal gynecological malignancy. Despite the approval of promising targeted therapy such as bevacizumab and PARP inhibitors, 5-year survival has not improved significantly. Thus, there is an urgent need for new therapeutics.

Deoxyhypusine synthase (DHPS) is an enzyme encoded by the DHPS gene, with high expression in various cancers, including ovarian cancer (OC). DHPS regulates the translation initiation factor EIF5A, and EIF5A2 knockout inhibits OC tumor growth and metastasis by blocking the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and the TGFβ pathway. In this study, we show that DHPS is amplified in OC patients, and its elevated expression correlates with poor survival.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by oxidative stress have emerged as critical factors in the pathophysiology of malignancies. This study investigated the antioxidant and anticancer properties of zinc (Zn), selenium (Se), and silver (Ag) nanoparticles (NPs) against the A2780 human ovarian cancer cell line. Here, the bioinformatics approach was used to determine the top differentially expressed genes associated with oxidative stress.
