Ovarian cancer represents a severe gynecological malignancy with a dire prognosis, underscoring the imperative need for dependable biomarkers that can accurately predict drug response and guide therapeutic choices. In this study, we harnessed online single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) and bulk RNA sequencing (RNAseq) datasets, applying the Scissor algorithm to identify cells responsive to paclitaxel. From these cells, we derived a gene signature, subsequently used to construct a prognostic model that demonstrated high sensitivity and specificity in predicting patient outcomes. Moreover, we conducted pathway and functional enrichment analyses to uncover potential molecular mechanisms driving the prognostic gene signature. This study illustrates the critical role of scRNAseq and bulk RNAseq in developing precise prognostic models for ovarian cancer, potentially transforming clinical decision-making.

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.
