Abstract Immunotherapy has largely failed in ovarian carcinoma (OC), likely due to that the vast tumor heterogeneity and variation immune response have hampered clinical trial outcomes. Tumor-immune microenvironment (TIME) profiling may aid stratification of OC tumors for guiding treatment selection. Here, we used Digital Spatial Profiling combined with image analysis characterize regions spatially distinct TIME phenotypes assess whether infiltration pattern can predict presence immuno-oncology targets. Tumors diffuse increased tumor-immune spatial interactions had higher IDO1, PD-L1, PD-1 Tim-3, while focal niches more CD163 macrophages a preliminary worse outcome. Immune exclusion was associated Tregs Fibronectin. High-grade serous showed an overall stronger multiple targetable checkpoints. Low-grade high expression STING, endometrioid CTLA-4. Mucinous clear cell were dominated by clusters immune-excluded regions, mucinous displaying T-cell rich niches.

Photoagents with ultra-high near-infrared II (NIR-II) light energy conversion efficiency hold great promise in tumor phototherapy due to their ability penetrate deeper tissues and minimize damage surrounding healthy cells. However, the development of NIR-II photoagents remain challenging. In this study, an all-fused-ring quinoidal acceptor-donor-acceptor (A-D-A) molecule, SKCN, a BTP core is synthesized, nanoparticles named FA-SNPs are prepared. The unique structure enhances π-electron delocalization bond length uniformity, significantly reducing bandgap resulting strong absorption, high molar extinction coefficient, photothermal 75.14%. Enhanced molecular rigidity also facilitates efficient transfer oxygen, boosting reactive oxygen species generation. By incorporating immunomodulator R848, FA-SRNPs further developed, effectively modulating immune microenvironment by Tregs M-MDSCs infiltration, promoting dendritic cell maturation, M1 macrophage polarization, activating CD8+ T cells NK Comprehensive studies using orthotopic ovarian cancer models demonstrated targeting, photoacoustic imaging capabilities, significant suppression metastasis inhibition, showing excellent therapeutic efficacy breast model. This study provides evidence for potential application A-D-A molecules photoimmunotherapy.

Ovarian cancer (OC) remains the most lethal gynecologic malignancy with limited effective treatment options. Oncolytic viruses (OVs) have emerged as a promising therapeutic approach for treatment, capable of selectively infecting and lysing cells while stimulating anti-tumor immune responses. Preclinical studies demonstrated significant tumor regression prolonged survival in OC models using various OVs, such herpes simplex. Early-phase clinical trials shown favorable safety profile, though impact on patient has been modest. Current research focuses combining OVs other treatments like checkpoint inhibitors to enhance their efficacy. We provide comprehensive overview current understanding future directions utilizing management OC.

A major characteristic of ovarian cancer (OC) is its unique route metastasis via ascites. The immune microenvironment in ascites remains understudied, leaving the mechanism ascites-mediated abdominal obscure. Here, a single-cell transcriptomic landscape CD45+ cells across multiple anatomical sites depicted, including primary tumors, metastatic lesions, and ascites, from patients diagnosed with high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSOC). novel subset perilipin 2 high (PLIN2hi) macrophages are identified that enriched positively correlated OC progression, hence being designated as "ascites-associated (AAMs)". AAMs lipid-loaded overexpression lipid droplet protein PLIN2. Overexpression or suppression PLIN2 can enhance inhibit tumor cell migration, invasion, vascular permeability vitro, which also confirmed vivo. Mechanistically, it demonstrated boosts HIF1α/SPP1 signaling macrophages, thereby exerting pro-tumor functions. Finally, PLIN2-targeting liposome designed to efficiently suppress production metastasis. Taken together, this work provides comprehensive characterization cancer-promoting function lipid-rich property ascites-enriched PLIN2hi establishes link between metabolism hypoxia within context microenvironment, elucidates pivotal role trans-coelomic OC.
