RESUMEN
PURPOSE: Ovarian cancer patients with HR proficiency (HRP) have had limited benefits from PARP inhibitor treatment, highlighting the need for improved therapeutic strategies. In this study, we developed a novel SIK2 inhibitor, SIC-19, and investigated its potential to enhance the sensitivity and expand the clinical utility of PARP inhibitors in ovarian cancer. METHODS: The SIK2 protein was modeled using a Molecular Operating Environment (MOE), and the most favorable model was selected based on a GBVI/WSA dG scoring function. The Chembridge Compound Library was screened, and the top 20 candidate compounds were tested for their interaction with SIK2 and downstream substrates, AKT-pS473 and MYLK-pS343. SIC-19 emerged as the most promising drug candidate and was further evaluated using multiple assays. RESULTS: SIC-19 exhibited selective and potent inhibition of SIK2, leading to its degradation through the ubiquitination pathway. The IC50 of SIC-19 correlated inversely with endogenous SIK2 expression in ovarian cancer cell lines. Treatment with SIC-19 significantly inhibited cancer cell growth and sensitized cells to PARP inhibitors in vitro, as well as in ovarian cancer organoids and xenograft models. Mechanistically, SIK2 knockdown and SIC-19 treatment reduced RAD50 phosphorylation at Ser635, prevented nuclear translocation of RAD50, disrupted nuclear filament assembly, and impaired DNA homologous recombination repair, ultimately inducing apoptosis. These findings highlight the crucial role of SIK2 in the DNA HR repair pathway and demonstrate the significant PARP inhibitor sensitization achieved by SIC-19 in ovarian cancer. CONCLUSIONS: SIC-19, a novel SIK2 inhibitor, effectively inhibits tumor cell growth in ovarian cancer by interfering with RAD50-mediated DNA HR repair. Furthermore, SIC-19 enhances the efficacy of PARP inhibitors, providing a promising therapeutic strategy to improve outcomes for ovarian cancer patients.

The incidence rate of developing ovarian cancer decreases over the years; however, mortality ranks top among malignancies of women, mainly metastasis through local invasion. Matrilin-2 (MATN2) is a member of the matrilin family that plays an important role in many cancers. However, its relationship with ovarian cancer remains unknown. Our study aimed to explore the function and possible mechanism of MATN2 in ovarian cancer. Human ovarian cancer tissue microarrays were used to detect the MATN2 expression in different types of ovarian cancer using immunohistochemistry (IHC). CCK-8, wound scratch healing assay, transwell assay, and flow cytometry were used to detect cell mobility. Gene and protein expression were detected using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and western blotting. MATN2 interacts with phosphatase, and the tensin homolog (PTEN) deleted on chromosome 10 was analyzed using TCGA database and co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP). In vivo experiments were conducted using BALB/c nude mice, and tumor volume and weight were recorded. Tumor growth was determined using hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) and IHC staining. MATN2 was significantly downregulated in ovarian cancer cells. The SKOV3 and A2780 cell mobility was significantly inhibited by MATN2 overexpression, while the cell apoptosis rate was significantly increased. MATN2 overexpression decreased transplanted tumor size in vivo. These results were reversed by inhibiting MATN2. Furthermore, we found that PTEN closely interacted with MATN2 using bioinformatics and Co-IP. MATN2 overexpression significantly inhibited the PI3K/AKT pathway, however, PTEN suppression reversed this effect of MATN2 overexpression. These results indicated that MATN2 may play a critical role in ovarian cancer development by inhibiting cells proliferation and migration. The mechanism was related to interacting with PTEN, thus inhibiting downstream effectors in the PI3K/AKT pathway, which may be a novel target for treating ovarian cancer.

Ovarian cancer (OC) is among the most common and deadly solid malignancies in women. Despite many advances in OC research, the incidence of OC continues to rise, and its pathogenesis remains largely unknown. Herein, we elucidated the function of hsa_circ_0061179 in OC. The levels of hsa_circ_0061179, miR-143-3p, TIMELESS, and DNA damage repair-related proteins in OC or normal ovarian tissues and cells were measured using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction and immunoblotting. The biological effects of hsa_circ_0061179 and miR-143-3p on proliferation, clone formation, DNA damage, and apoptosis of OC cells were detected by the cell counting kit-8 assay, 5-methylethyl-2'-deoxyuridine, flow cytometry, the comet assay, and immunofluorescence staining combined with the confocal microscopy. The interaction among hsa_circ_0061179, miR-143-3p, and TIMELESS was validated by the luciferase reporter assay. Mice tumor xenograft models were used to evaluate the influence of hsa_circ_0061179 on OC growth in vivo. We found that human OC biospecimens expressed higher levels of hsa_circ_0061179 and lower levels of miR-143-3p. Hsa_circ_0061179 was found to bind with miR-143-3p, which directly targets TIMELESS. Hsa_circ_0061179 knockdown or miR-143-3p overexpression suppressed the proliferation and clone formation of OC cells and increased DNA damage and apoptosis of OC cells via the miR-143-3p/TIMELESS axis. Furthermore, we demonstrated that METTL3 could direct the formation of has_circ_0061179 through a specific m6A modification site. YTHDC1 facilitated the cytoplasmic transfer of has_circ_0061179 by directly binding to the modified m6A site. Our findings suggest that hsa_circ_0061179 acts as the sponge of miR-143-3p to activate TIMELESS signaling and inhibits DNA damage and apoptosis in OC cells.

Ovarian cancer (OC) is the most lethal gynecological tumor, characterized by its insidious and frequently recurring metastatic progression. Owing to limited early screening methods, over 70% of OC cases are diagnosed at advanced stages, typically stage III or IV. Recently, N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification has emerged as a hotspot of epigenetic research, representing a significant endogenous RNA modification in higher eukaryotes. Numerous studies have reported that m6A-related regulatory factors play pivotal roles in tumor development through diverse mechanisms. Moreover, recent studies have indicated the aberrant expression of multiple regulatory factors in OC. Therefore, this paper comprehensively reviews research advancements concerning m6A in OC, aiming to elucidate the regulatory mechanism of m6A-associated regulators on pivotal aspects, such as proliferation, invasion, metastasis, and drug resistance, in OC. Furthermore, it discusses the potential of m6A-associated regulators as early diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets, thus contributing to the diagnosis and treatment of OC.
Ovarian cancer (OC) presents a formidable challenge in the medical field, often detected at advanced stages, necessitating urgent exploration of diagnostic and therapeutic avenues. This review delves into the intricate role of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA modification in OC, a dynamic epigenetic process increasingly recognized for its regulatory role in cancer biology. Highlighting recent advancements, the review sheds light on how m6A-related factors influence crucial aspects of OC progression, including tumor growth, metastasis, and resistance to treatment. Specifically, m6A methyltransferases, binding proteins, and demethylases exert multifaceted effects on OC progression, influencing the expression of pivotal oncogenes and tumor suppressors. While promising, translating these insights into effective therapies requires further investigation. By comprehensively understanding the influence of m6A on OC, there lies hope for developing improved diagnostic techniques and novel treatment strategies to combat this complex disease.

Although the peripheral nervous system lacks a dedicated receptor, the brain processes temporal information through different sensory channels. A critical question is whether temporal information from different sensory modalities at different times forms modality-specific representations or is integrated into a common representation in a supramodal manner. Behavioral studies on temporal memory mixing and the central tendency effect have provided evidence for supramodal temporal representations. We aimed to provide electrophysiological evidence for this proposal by employing a cross-modality time discrimination task combined with electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings. The task maintained a fixed auditory standard duration, whereas the visual comparison duration was randomly selected from the short and long ranges, creating two different audio-visual temporal contexts. The behavioral results showed that the point of subjective equality (PSE) in the short context was significantly lower than that in the long context. The EEG results revealed that the amplitude of the contingent negative variation (CNV) in the short context was significantly higher (more negative) than in the long context in the early stage, while it was lower (more positive) in the later stage. These results suggest that the audiovisual temporal context is integrated with the auditory standard duration to generate a subjective time criterion. Compared with the long context, the subjective time criterion in the short context was shorter, resulting in earlier decision-making and a preceding decrease in CNV. Our study provides electrophysiological evidence that temporal information from different modalities inputted into the brain at different times can form a supramodal temporal representation.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Aberrant expression of tumor protein D52 (TPD52) is associated with some tumors. The role of TPD52 in uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC) remains uncertain. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to investigate the involvement of TPD52 in the pathogenesis of UCEC. METHODS: We employed bioinformatics analysis and experimental validation in our study. RESULTS: Our findings indicated that elevated TPD52 expression in UCEC was significantly associated with various clinical factors, including clinical stage, race, weight, body mass index (BMI), histological type, histological grade, surgical approach, and age (p < 0.01). Furthermore, high TPD52 expression was a predictor of poorer overall survival (OS), progress-free survival (PFS), and disease-specific survival (DSS) (p = 0.011, p = 0.006, and p = 0.003, respectively). TPD52 exhibited a significant correlation with DSS (HR: 2.500; 95% CI: 1.153-5.419; p = 0.02). TPD52 was involved in GPCR ligand binding and formation of the cornified envelope in UCEC. Moreover, TPD52 expression was found to be associated with immune infiltration, immune checkpoints, tumor mutation burden (TMB)/ microsatellite instability (MSI), and mRNA stemness indices (mRNAsi). The somatic mutation rate of TPD52 in UCEC was 1.9%. A ceRNA network of AC011447.7/miR-1-3p/TPD52 was constructed. There was excessive TPD52 protein expression. The upregulation of TPD52 expression in UCEC cell lines was found to be statistically significant. CONCLUSION: TPD52 is upregulated in UCEC and may be a useful patent for prognostic biomarkers of UCEC, which may have important value for clinical treatment and supervision of UCEC patients.
RESUMEN
Endometrial cancer (EC) is one of the predominant tumors of the female reproductive system. In this current study, we investigated the functions and related mechanisms of NAP1L1/DDX5 in EC. This retrospective study analyzed the medical records of EC patients, collected tissue samples for NAP1L1 and DDX5 staining, and conducted survival analysis using the Kaplan-Meier method. To evaluate the impact of NAP1L1 and/or DDX5 on cellular processes in EC cells, several techniques were employed. These included CCK-8 assay, wound healing assay, Transwell assay, as well as overexpression or knockdown of target gene expression. Additionally, ChIP, dual luciferase reporter gene, Co-IP assay were utilized to confirm the interaction between NAP1L1, EP300 and DDX5. Furthermore, qRT-PCR, western blot and Co-IP assay were performed to analyze the modulation of NAP1L1/DDX5 in Wnt/ß-catenin. NAP1L1 and DDX5 expression were upregulated in EC tissues, and correlated with poor prognosis. NAP1L1/DDX5 promoted EC cell proliferation, migration and invasion. NAP1L1 promotes acetylation and transcription by recruiting EP300 to the DDX5 promoter. DDX5 could activate Wnt/ß-catenin signal by binding to ß-catenin. In animal models, knockdown of NAP1L1 inhibits EC tumor growth and lung metastasis. To sum up, our study demonstrated that NAP1L1 promoted the malignant phenotypes of EC cells via recruiting EP300 to promote DDX5 acetylation, thus activating the Wnt/ß-catenin signaling pathway. Implications: Our research findings indicate that targeting the NAP1L1/EP300/DX5 axis might be a new potential treatment option for endometrial cancer.
RESUMEN
Cervical cancer (CC) remains a major cause of cancer-related mortality among women globally. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play crucial regulatory roles in various cancers, including CC. This study investigates the function of a novel lncRNA, USP30 antisense RNA 1 (USP30-AS1), in CC tumorigenesis. We analyzed USP30-AS1 expression using RT-qPCR and conducted in vitro loss-of-function assays, as well as in vivo assays, to evaluate the effects of USP30-AS1 silencing on CC cell growth and migration. Additional mechanistic experiments, including RNA pull-down, RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP), and co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) assays, were performed to elucidate the regulatory mechanisms influenced by USP30-AS1. We discovered that USP30-AS1 is overexpressed in CC tissues and cells. Silencing USP30-AS1 significantly reduced cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and tumor growth. Moreover, USP30-AS1 was found to modulate the expression of ubiquitin-specific peptidase 30 (USP30) by sponging microRNA-2467-3p (miR-2467-3p) and recruiting the FUS RNA binding protein (FUS), thereby stabilizing ß-catenin and activating the Wnt/ß-catenin signaling pathway. These findings suggest that USP30-AS1 enhances CC cell growth and migration through the miR-2467-3p/FUS/USP30 axis, highlighting its potential as a biomarker for CC.

Ovarian cancer (OC) is a devastating disease for women, with chemotherapy resistance taking the lead. Cisplatin has been the first-line therapy for OC for a long time. However, the resistance of OC to cisplatin is an important impediment to its efficacy. Mounting studies showed that ovarian cancer stem cells (OCSCs) affected chemotherapy resistance by secreting exosomes. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play important roles in exosomes secreted by OCSCs. Here, through the analysis of GEO database (GSE107155) combined with RT-qPCR of OC-related cells/clinical tissues, it was found that hsa-miR-4516 (miR-4516) was significantly up-regulated in OCSCs. Then, OCSCs-derived exosomes were isolated and identified, and it was observed the influence of exosomes on the chemoresistance in SKOV3/cisplatin (SKOV3/DDP) cells. These results manifested that OCSCs-mediated exosomes facilitated the chemoresistance of SKOV3/DDP cells by delivering miR-4516 into them. Growth arrest-specific 7 (GAS7), a downstream target of miR-4516, was determined by bioinformatics prediction combined with molecular biological detection. Next, we up-regulated GAS7 expression and discovered that the promotion of chemoresistance in SKOV3/DDP cells by OCSCs-derived exosomes was significantly impaired. Finally, the mice tumor model of SKOV3/DDP cells was built to estimate the effect of GAS7 over-expression on OC growth. The results showed that GAS7 inhibited the chemoresistance of OC in vivo. In conclusion, our experiments suggested that OCSCs-derived exosomes enhanced OC cisplatin resistance by suppressing GAS7 through the delivery of miR-4516. This study provides a possible target for the treatment of OC DDP resistance.

Cisplatin resistance remains a persistent challenge in cervical cancer (CC) treatment. Molecular biomarkers have garnered attention for their association with cisplatin resistance in various diseases. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) exert significant influence on CC development. This study explores the role of LOC644656 in regulating cisplatin resistance in CC. Parental and cisplatin-resistant CC cells underwent cisplatin treatment. Functional assays assessed cell proliferation and apoptosis under different conditions. RNA pull-down with mass spectrometry, along with literature review, elucidated the interaction between LOC644656, ZNF143, and E6-AP. Mechanistic assays analyzed the relationship between different factors. RT-qPCR and western blot quantified RNA and protein levels, respectively. In vivo models validated E6-AP's function. Results revealed LOC644656 overexpression in cisplatin-resistant CC cells, exacerbating cell growth. LOC644656 recruited ZNF143 to activate E6-AP transcription, promoting cisplatin resistance in CC. In conclusion, LOC644656 positively modulates E6-AP expression via ZNF143-mediated transcriptional activation, contributing to cisplatin resistance in CC.

Ovarian cancer (OC) represents the most prevalent malignancy of the female reproductive system. Its distinguishing features include a high aggressiveness, substantial morbidity and mortality, and a lack of apparent symptoms, which collectively pose significant challenges for early detection. Given that aberrant DNA methylation events leading to altered gene expression are characteristic of numerous tumor types, there has been extensive research into epigenetic mechanisms, particularly DNA methylation, in human cancers. In the context of OC, DNA methylation is often associated with the regulation of critical genes, such as BRCA1/2 and Rasassociation domain family 1A. Methylation modifications within the promoter regions of these genes not only contribute to the pathogenesis of OC, but also induce medication resistance and influence the prognosis of patients with OC. As such, a more indepth understanding of DNA methylation underpinning carcinogenesis could potentially facilitate the development of more effective therapeutic approaches for this intricate disease. The present review focuses on classical tumor suppressor genes, oncogenes, signaling pathways and associated microRNAs in an aim to elucidate the influence of DNA methylation on the development and progression of OC. The advantages and limitations of employing DNA methylation in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of OC are also discussed. On the whole, the present literature review indicates that the DNA methylation of specific genes could potentially serve as a prognostic biomarker for OC and a therapeutic target for personalized treatment strategies. Further investigations in this field may yield more efficacious diagnostic and therapeutic alternatives for patients with OC.

OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to assess the factors influencing pregnant women's participation in perinatal education and their demand for educational courses. DESIGN: A cross-sectional study. SETTING: Tertiary hospital in Suzhou, China, July-September 2022. PARTICIPANTS: Pregnant women from a general grade A tertiary hospital in Suzhou were recruited via online survey invitations during the specified period. MEASURES: A self-designed scale was used to evaluate pregnant women's demand for perinatal education. Multiple response sets were employed for the assessment of multiple-choice items and analyses included frequency and cross-tabulation. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to assess the factors influencing pregnant women's participation in perinatal education. OUTCOME: The primary outcome measured was the demand for perinatal education among pregnant women. RESULTS: A majority (53.8%) of pregnant women expressed a preference for a mixed teaching mode combining online and offline formats. Logistic regression analysis showed that education level significantly influenced pregnant women's participation in online learning. Specifically, women with higher education levels were more likely to participate actively in online courses. Additionally, compared with those with first-born children, pregnant women with second-born children participated less actively in online learning. Pregnant women in their second and third trimesters showed greater engagement in online learning compared with those in their first trimester. CONCLUSIONS: These findings indicate that Chinese pregnant women's preferences for perinatal education are influenced by their educational background, pregnancy history and the mode of teaching employed. The variability in educational needs underscores the importance of regularly updating course content based on participant feedback.

Poly(adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors as maintenance therapy after first-line chemotherapy have improved progression-free survival in women with advanced ovarian cancer; however, not all PARP inhibitors can provide benefit for a biomarker-unselected population. Senaparib is a PARP inhibitor that demonstrated antitumor activity in patients with solid tumors, including ovarian cancer, in phase 1 studies. The multicenter, double-blind, phase 3 trial FLAMES randomized (2:1) 404 females with advanced ovarian cancer (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage III-IV) and response to first-line platinum-based chemotherapy to senaparib 100 mg (n = 271) or placebo (n = 133) orally once daily for up to 2 years. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival assessed by blinded independent central review. At the prespecified interim analysis, the median progression-free survival was not reached with senaparib and was 13.6 months with placebo (hazard ratio 0.43, 95% confidence interval 0.32-0.58; P < 0.0001). The benefit with senaparib over placebo was consistent in the subgroups defined by BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation or homologous recombination status. Grade ≥3 treatment-emergent adverse events occurred in 179 (66%) and 27 (20%) patients, respectively. Senaparib significantly improved progression-free survival versus placebo in patients with advanced ovarian cancer after response to first-line platinum-based chemotherapy, irrespective of BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation status and with consistent benefits observed between homologous recombination subgroups, and was well tolerated. These results support senaparib as a maintenance treatment for patients with advanced ovarian cancer after a response to first-line chemotherapy. ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT04169997 .

BACKGROUND: Some tumors have a poor prognosis regarding TPD52 (tumor protein D52). This study aims to explore TPD52's role in the cancer process from a pan-cancer perspective. METHODS: A pan-cancer analysis was conducted to investigate how TPD52 may be involved in cancer as well as its association with prognosis. RESULTS: A variety of human cancers express TPD52 abnormally and correlate with clinical stage. There was a significant association between low expression of TPD52 and poor survival in BRCA, KIRP, LAML, LIHC, UCEC, and UVM. TPD52 alterations were most frequently amplified in pan-cancer. The co-occurrence of 10 genes alterations was found in the TPD52 altered group. There was a significant association between TPD52 expression and MSI in four cancer types and TMB in twelve cancer types. There was a significant correlation between TPD52 expression and immunerelated cell infiltration. A significant correlation was found between TPD52 expression in many tumor types and 8 immune checkpoint genes. There were signaling pathways involved in pan-cancer caused by TPD52, including endocytosis, Fc gamma Rmediated phagocytosis, and so on. TPD52 may be involved in chemotherapy and chemoresistance. CONCLUSION: The TPD52 gene may be important for human cancer treatment.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect role and mechanism of miR-30b-3p on ovarian cancer cells biological function. METHODS: The expression of miR-30b-3p was detected in ovarian cancer cell lines and normal ovarian epithelial cell line by qRT-PCR. Mir-30b-3p mimic was transfected into OVCAR3 cells. Cell-counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay was conducted to explore the effect of mir-30b-3p on the OVCAR3 cells' proliferation. Cell cycle and apoptosis were detected by Flow cytometry. Cell invasion ability was detected by Transwell test. The regulation of putative target of miR-30b-3p was verified by double luciferase reporter assays and Western blot. RESULT: We found that miR-30b-3p was downregulated in OVCAR3 cells. Overexpression of miR-30b-3p suppressed proliferation, promoted apoptosis, slowed cell cycle and inhibited migration and invasion of OVCAR3 cells. Bioinformatics analysis identified 3'-untranslated region (3'UTR) of Collagen triple helix repeat-containing 1 (CTHRC1) as the presumed binding site for miR-30b-3p. Detection of double luciferase reporter and Western-Blot result confirmed that CTHRC1 was the target gene of miR-30b-3p. Furthermore, E-cadherin, ß-cadherin and Vimentin protein expression level were changed after transfection of miR-30b-3p. CONCLUSION: miR-30b-3p function as an anti-cancer gene. Overexpression of miR-30b-3p can inhibit the biological function of ovarian cancer cells. MiR-30b-3p targets CTHRC1 gene plays an important role in epithelial-mesenchymal transformation (EMT), and supports miR-30b-3p as a potential biological indicator for ovarian cancer in the future.
