Article Abstract

Background: Ovarian cancer is the most mortality malignancy in gynecology. N7-methylguanosine (m7G) is one of the most prevalent RNA modifications in the development and progression of cancer. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of m7G-related lncRNA on ovarian cancer in terms of instruction prognosis and immunotherapy.

Methods: After integrating and processing the RNA expression profiles with the clinical sample information in the TCGA database, we initially screened to the m7G-related lncRNAs by Spearman correlation analysis, and subsequently obtained a prognostic model constructed by five m7G-related lncRNAs with Univariate Cox analysis, LASSO regression analysis, and Multivariate Cox regression analysis, after which we further evaluated and validated the prognostic value of the model using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, Principal component analysis, Nomogram, and ROC curve. In addition, based on this risk model, we explored the differentially enriched pathways and functions of the high and low risk groups, and characterized the immune cells, immune functions, gene mutations, and drug sensitivity between the two groups.

Results: After a series of rigorous filtering, we finally attained a prognostic risk model consisting of KRT7-AS, USP30-AS1, ZFHX4-AS1, ACAP2-IT1, and TWSG1-DT which is excellent in predicting the prognostic survival of ovarian cancer patients as well as existing as an independent prognostic factor. Moreover, the model has certain relevance in the immune cells and functions between high and low risk groups, and simultaneously, the signature has the role of guiding the option of immunotherapy and chemotherapeutic drugs.

Conclusion: Altogether, our study established a tight connection between m7G-associated lncRNAs and ovarian cancer, with potential that the prognostic patterns contribute to steering the prognosis of ovarian cancer patients, measuring the efficacy of immunotherapeutic approaches, and detecting effective chemotherapeutic agents.

Resistance to platinum-based drugs and PARP inhibitors (PARPi) is the leading cause of treatment failure in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). This study aimed to identify resistance mechanisms shared by both. Using bioinformatic analyses, EOC tissues, primary tumor cells and organoids, and chemoresistant cell lines, we identified lymphoid enhancer-binding factor 1 (LEF1) as a candidate, whose expression was increased in both platinum-resistant and PARPi-resistant tumors.

Granulosa cell tumors (GCTs) are rare ovarian neoplasms, accounting for 2-5% of all ovarian cancers. Two histological types have been described: juvenile (JGCT) and adult (AGCT), the latter accounting for around 95% of the GCTs. AGCTs are mostly diagnosed at an early stage and commonly have a good prognosis.

Background: Tumor heterogeneity and antigen escape are mechanisms of resistance to chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy, especially in solid tumors. Targeting multiple antigens with a unique CAR construct could be a strategy for a better tumor control than monospecific CAR-T cells on heterogeneous models. To overcome tumor heterogeneity, we targeted mesothelin (meso) and Mucin 16 (MUC16), two antigens commonly expressed in solid tumors, using a tandem CAR design.

Purpose: Ovarian cancer ranks as a gynecological malignancy with poor prognosis, specifically if detected late. Primary treatment includes cytoreductive surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy with curative intent. Local anesthetics (LA) administered in the perioperative period may potentially impact patient outcome by several mechanisms.

Background: Homologous recombination deficiency (HRD)-related genetic mutations in ovarian high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC) are known to be ethnic specific. Here, we assessed the diagnostic performance of HRD and its clinical implication in Korean HGSC patients using the SOPHiA DDM HRD Solution.

Methods: Sixty-three ovarian cancer (OC) patients were enrolled, including 53 with HGSC and 10 with other subtypes.
