Article Abstract

Purpose: Clarification of cisplatin resistance may provide new targets for therapy in cisplatin resistant ovarian cancer. The current study aims to explore involvement of isoforms of AU-rich element RNA-binding protein 1 (AUF1) in cisplatin resistance in ovarian cancer.

Methods: The cancer stem cell-like features were analyzed using colony formation assay, tumor sphere formation assay and nude mouse xenograft experiments. AUF1 isoforms expression was analyzed using immunoblotting, qRT-PCR, and immunohistochemistry. RIP and Biotin pulldown was used to analyze the interaction of SRSF2 and hnRNPA1 with AUF1 transcript. Transcriptome regulated by AUF1 isoforms was analyzed by RNA-seq.

Results: The current study demonstrated differential expression of AUF1 isoforms in cisplatin sensitive and resistant ovarian cancer tissues and cells. P37 isoform promoted proliferation, while p45 isoform enhanced responsiveness of ovarian cancer cells to cisplatin. the clonal formation capacity of the cells, and the restoration of p45 expression reduced the capacity with cisplatin treatment. The competitive binding of phosphorylated hnRNPA1 and O-GlcNAc-modified SRSF2 on AUF1 exon 2 and exon 7 regulated the alternative splicing of AUF1.

Conclusion: The competitive binding of phosphorylated hnRNPA1 and O-GlcNAc modified SRSF2 on exon 2 and exon 7 regulated the alternative splicing of AUF1 and subsequent isoform expression. P37 isoform played a "cancer promoter" role, p42 and p45, especially p45 played a "cancer suppressor" role in ovarian cancer. This study provides a new target for exploring the drug resistance mechanism of ovarian cancer.

Introduction: Patients with advanced solid tumors may be considered for early phase clinical trials investigating the safety, tolerability, and dosing of experimental therapies. Optimizing participant selection is critical to maximize clinical benefit and meet trial endpoints with fewer participants. One in six participants does not meet routine life expectancy requirements (>3 months), highlighting the need for improved prognostication.

Availability of benign missense variant "truthsets" for validation of functional assays: Current status and a systematic approach.

Multiplex assays of variant effect (MAVEs) provide promising new sources of functional evidence, potentially empowering improved classification of germline genomic variants, particularly rare missense variants, which are commonly assigned as variants of uncertain significance (VUSs). However, paradoxically, quantification of clinically applicable evidence strengths for MAVEs requires construction of "truthsets" comprising missense variants already robustly classified as pathogenic and benign. In this study, we demonstrate how benign truthset size is the primary driver of applicable functional evidence toward pathogenicity (PS3).

Pan-carcinoma sialyl-Tn-targeting expands CAR therapy to solid tumors.

Accurate identification of tumor-specific markers is vital for developing chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-based therapies. While cell surface antigens are seldom cancer-restricted, their post-translational modifications (PTMs), particularly aberrant carbohydrate structures, offer attractive alternatives. Among these, the sialyl-Tn (STn) antigen stands out for its prevalent presence in various epithelial tumors.

ObjectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of hyperthermic intraperitoneal intraoperative chemotherapy (HIPEC) in patients with advanced ovarian cancer.MethodsA total of 200 patients with advanced ovarian cancer were enrolled in this retrospective study and randomly allocated to two groups (research registry number: 11353). On the first day after abdominal closure, routine treatment was performed in the non-HIPEC group, whereas HIPEC was performed in the HIPEC group.
