AI Article Synopsis
- PPM1F has varying roles in tumor progression and controls the phosphorylation switch of ITGB1, but its specific effects on ovarian cancer are not well-known.
- This study aims to explore how PPM1F influences ovarian cancer by analyzing its expression and impact on tumor growth in experiments with mice.
- Findings indicate that PPM1F regulates the activity of ITGB1, affecting its phosphorylation status, which ultimately plays a role in the progression of ovarian cancer.
Article Abstract
PPM1F has been shown to play diverse biological functions in the progression of multiple tumors. PPM1F controls the T788/T789 phosphorylation switch of ITGB1 and regulates integrin activity. However, the impacts of PPM1F and ITGB1 on ovarian cancer (OV) progression remain unclear. Whether there is such a regulatory relationship between PPM1F and ITGB1 in ovarian cancer has not been studied. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to elucidate the function and the mechanism of PPM1F in ovarian cancer. The expression level and the survival curve of PPM1F were analyzed by databases. Gain of function and loss of function were applied to explore the function of PPM1F in ovarian cancer. A tumor formation assay in nude mice showed that knockdown of PPM1F inhibited tumor formation. We tested the effect of PPM1F on ITGB1 dephosphorylation in ovarian cancer cells by co-immunoprecipitation and western blotting. Loss of function was applied to investigate the function of ITGB1 in ovarian cancer. ITGB1-mut overexpression promotes the progression of ovarian cancer. Rescue assays showed the promoting effect of ITGB1-wt on ovarian cancer is attenuated due to the dephosphorylation of ITGB1-wt by PPM1F. PPM1F and ITGB1 play an oncogene function in ovarian cancer. PPM1F regulates the phosphorylation of ITGB1, which affects the occurrence and development of ovarian cancer.

Exosomal ANXA2 facilitates ovarian cancer peritoneal metastasis by activating peritoneal mesothelial cells through binding with TLR2.

Background: Peritoneal dissemination of ovarian cancer (OvCa) can be largely attributed to the formation of a metastatic microenvironment driven by tumoral exosomes. Here, we aimed to elucidate the mechanisms through which exosomal annexin A2 (ANXA2) derived from OvCa cells induces an HPMC phenotypic shift in favour of peritoneal metastasis.
Methods: Immunohistochemistry and orthotopic and intraperitoneal OvCa xenograft mouse models were used to clarify the relationship between tumour ANXA2 expression and peritoneal metastasis.

Article Synopsis
- Incessant ovulation contributes to ovarian high-grade serous carcinomas (HGSC), which primarily arise from the fallopian tube epithelium (FTE), and receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) ligands play a key role in this process.
- A study investigated follicular fluid exosomes from women undergoing in vitro fertilization to identify RTK ligands and their impact on FTE cells, using various RTK inhibitors.
- The findings revealed that FF exosomes were rich in transformative abilities and essential EGFR ligands, promoting cell growth and migration, indicating their significant contribution to HGSC development.

Background: Most cases of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) are caused by infertility treatment using human menopausal gonadotropin (HMG) and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). OHSS is widely known to have a "spoke-wheel" appearance on imaging, presenting as bilateral symmetric enlargement of ovaries with multiple cysts of varying sizes. When this spoke-wheel appearance is observed in patients not undergoing infertility treatment, tumor-derived hormones such as follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and hCG should be measured.

Ovarian cancer, a highly lethal form of gynecological cancer globally, has witnessed notable advancements in its treatment through the integration of nanotechnology and immunotherapy. Here, we designed a novel astragalus polysaccharide vector (PDA), encapsulating podophyllotoxin (PPT), and modifying methotrexate (DSPE-PEG-MTX) on its surface for targeting ovarian cancer cells with high folate receptor expression. We prepared novel MTX-modified PPT-loaded astragalus polysaccharide micelles (MTX-PPT-micelles) by dialysis method and evaluated their characterization, stability, safety and targeting ability.

Perfluorobutanoic acid (PFBA) is an emerging contaminant that was demonstrated to exhibit estrogen effects via action on classic estrogen receptors (ERs) in a low-activity manner. The purpose of the present study is to reveal the estrogen disruption effect and mechanism of PFBA via estrogen-related receptor γ (ERRγ) pathways. In vivo experiment indicated that PFBA accumulated in zebrafish ovary and caused ovarian injury, with disturbing sex hormone levels and interfering gene expression related to estrogen synthesis and follicle regulation.
