Article Abstract
High-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) is a highly lethal gynecologic cancer, in part due to resistance to platinum-based chemotherapy reported among 20% of patients. This study aims to generate novel hypotheses of the biological mechanisms underlying chemotherapy resistance, which remain poorly understood. Differential expression analyses of mRNA- and microRNA-sequencing data from HGSOC patients of The Cancer Genome Atlas identified 21 microRNAs associated with angiogenesis and 196 mRNAs enriched for adaptive immunity and translation. Coexpression network analysis identified three microRNA networks associated with chemotherapy response enriched for lipoprotein transport and oncogenic pathways, as well as two mRNA networks enriched for ubiquitination and lipid metabolism. These network modules were replicated in two independent ovarian cancer cohorts. Moreover, integrative analyses of the mRNA/microRNA sequencing and single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) revealed potential regulation of significant mRNA transcripts by microRNAs and SNPs (expression quantitative trait loci). Thus, we report novel transcriptional networks and biological pathways associated with resistance to platinum-based chemotherapy in HGSOC patients. These results expand our understanding of the effector networks and regulators of chemotherapy response, which will help to improve the management of ovarian cancer.

Background: Local control strategies in pediatric oncology are guided by disease-specific considerations. Effective communication of the goals of surgical procedure and associated intraoperative events plays a crucial role in shaping subsequent treatment decisions. However, accurately and comprehensively documenting these findings remains challenging, with considerable variability across different tumor types.

We previously screened a peptide PDBAG1 that remarkably inhibited triple-negative breast cancer, and found that its target was C1QBP. Recently, C1QBP has been reported as a potential tumor marker in ovarian cancer, which of the mortality rate ranks first among malignant tumors of the female reproductive tract. However, it is unclear whether and how PDBAG1 plays a regulatory role in ovarian cancer.

Platinum-group metal half-sandwich complexes are considered to be potential replacements of the clinically widely used platins which have several side effects and tend to cause resistance to develop. In our previous works, we used a range of 2-pyridyl-substituted N- and C-glycosyl heterocycles as N,N-chelating ligands to prepare ruthenium(II), osmium(II), iridium(III) and rhodium(III) polyhapto arene/arenyl half-sandwich complexes. Some of these complexes, particularly with the C-glucopyranosyl isoxazole derived ligand in its O-perbenzoylated form, exhibited greater anticancer efficiency than cisplatin and had minimal or negligible effects on non-transformed fibroblasts.

Cisplatin resistance continues to be a major obstacle in the treatment of ovarian cancer (OC). Gap junction protein β-2 (GJB2), a key member of the connexin family, is well-known for its association with hereditary deafness. However, its role in ovarian cancer chemotherapy resistance remains unexplored.

This study reports the synthesis and antitumor evaluation of six novel dinuclear calcium(II) complexes with the general formula [Ca(μ-O)(QM)(QH)], designated as CaQ1 through CaQ6. These complexes incorporate various deprotonated 8-hydroxyquinoline ligands (H-QM-H-QM) and 1,10-phenanthroline derivatives (QH), synthesized using Ca(NO)·4HO. The specific compositions are as follows: CaQ1: H-QM = 5,7-dibromo-8-hydroxyquinoline (x = 1), QH = bathophenanthroline; CaQ2: H-QM = 5,7-dichloro-8-quinolinol (x = 2), QH = bathophenanthroline; CaQ3: H-QM = 5,7-diiodo-8-hydroxyquinoline (x = 3), QH = 1,10-phenanthroline; CaQ4: H-QM = 5,7-dichloro-8-quinolinol (x = 2), QH = 1,10-phenanthroline; CaQ5: H-QM = clioquinol (x = 4), QH = 1,10-phenanthroline; CaQ6: H-QM = 5,7-dibromo-8-hydroxyquinoline (x = 1), QH = 1,10-phenanthroline.
