is a transcription factor that is overexpressed in the early stages of ovarian cancer and has been suggested as a potential biomarker for early detection. In this study, we aimed to examine the role of in invasion and proliferation of ovarian cancer cells. We performed cell viability, colony formation, and invasion assays using ovarian cancer cells treated with siRNA to knock down the gene. The regulatory effects of on proteins involved in the apoptotic, Wnt, Hippo, and retinoblastoma signaling pathways were evaluated by western blotting following repression. In addition, we analyzed data available on Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis for correlations between and , β, , , and . was highly expressed in ovarian cancer cell lines and samples when compared to the nonmalignant tissues. Downregulation of inhibited cell viability and invasion and promoted the phosphorylation of YAP, GSK-3-β, β-catenin, and retinoblastoma. However, cyclin D1, cdk4, and caspase-9 were downregulated when compared to control. Overall, promotes ovarian carcinogenesis via the regulation of Hippo and Wnt pathways

Objective: He Shi Yu Lin Formula (HSYLF) is a clinically proven prescription for treating premature ovarian insufficiency (POI), and has shown a good curative effect. However, its molecular mechanisms are unclear. This study aimed to investigate the molecular mechanisms of HSYLF and clarify how network pharmacology analysis guides the design of animal experiments, including the selection of effective treatment doses and key targets, to ensure the relevance of the experimental results.

A Neutrophil Extracellular Traps-Related Signature Predicts Clinical Outcomes and Identifies Immune Landscape in Ovarian Cancer.

Ovarian cancer (OvCa) is the most lethal gynaecology malignancies worldwide. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), net-like protein structures produced by activated neutrophils and DNA-histone complexes, have a central role in tumours, though haven't been fully explored in OvCa. We obtained transcriptome data from TCGA-OvCa database (n = 376) as training, ICGC-OvCa database (n = 111) as validation and GTEx database (n = 180) as controls.

CpG hypomethylation at proximal promoter and 5'UTR along with IL6 signaling loop associates with MYD88 upregulation in epithelial ovarian cancer.

MYD88 is an IL-6 primary response gene and, its upregulation of expression has been shown to be a poor prognostic factor in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). We investigated the effects of CpG methylation at the proximal promoter/5'UTR and IL-6/SP1/IRF1 signaling on upregulation of MYD88 and prognosis in EOC. We assessed CpG methylation at the proximal promoter/5'UTR of MYD88 using bisulfite sequencing/PCR in 103 EOC patients, 28 normal ovarian tissues and two EOC cell lines with differential expression of MYD88 and identified the impact of the level of CpG methylation on MYD88 upregulation by SP1/IRF1 with knockdown or blockade of IL-6.

Ovarian cancer is known to be a challenging disease to detect at an early stage and is a major cause of death among women. The current treatment for ovarian cancer typically involves a combination of surgery and the use of drugs such as platinum-based cytotoxic agents, anti-angiogenic drugs, etc. However, current treatment methods are not always effective in preventing the recurrence of ovarian cancer.
