Abstract The high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HG-SOC) is a notoriously challenging disease, characterized by rapid peritoneal dissemination. HG-SOC cells leverage actin-rich membrane protrusions, known as invadopodia, to degrade the surrounding extracellular matrix (ECM) and invade, initiating metastatic cascade. In HG-SOC, endothelin-1 (ET-1)/endothelin A receptor (ETAR)-driven signaling coordinates invadopodia activity, however how this axis integrates pro-oncogenic routes, YAP-driven one, impacting on invadopodia-mediated ECM degradation progression, deserves deeper investigation. Herein, we observed that downstream of ET-1/ET-1R axis, RhoC Rac1 GTPases, acting intermediaries, promote de-phosphorylation nuclear accumulation YAP. Conversely, treatment with dual ETA/ETB antagonist, macitentan, inhibits ET-1-driven YAP activity. Similarly, silencing, or cell transfection dominant inactive form Rac1, restores phosphorylation. Mechanistically, ET-1R/YAP signal alliance maturation into ECM-degrading structures, indicating such ET-1R-guided protein network represents route able enhance invasive potential. At functional level, found interconnection between ET-1R/RhoC signals required for MMP-2 MMP-9 proteolytic functions, invasion, cytoskeleton architecture changes, supporting strength. patient-derived xenografts (PDX) turning-off regulators RhoC/YAP, halts colonization. ET-1R targeting, hindering weakens machinery, embodying promising therapeutic avenue prevent dissemination in HG-SOC.

Ovarian cancer (OC) is prone to peritoneum or omentum dissemination, thus giving rise the formidable challenge of unresectable surgery and a dismal survival rate. Although niraparib holds pivotal role in maintenance treatment OC, its effect on suppressing metastases during primary intervention remains enigmatic. Recently, we initiated prospective clinical study (NCT04507841) order evaluate therapeutic efficacy neoadjuvant monotherapy for advanced OC with homologous recombination deficiency. An analysis patient tumor burden before after showed remarkable vulnerability intraperitoneal exposure. This killing capacity was closely associated accumulation fatty acids within abdomen, which confirmed by increased susceptibility cells presence acids. In context abundant acids, elevated intracellular levels lipid peroxidation, leading subsequent cell ferroptosis p53 BRCA-independent manner. Notably, under exposure, critical acid transporter CD36 dramatically upregulated tumors, facilitating excessive uptake Pharmacological inhibition either impaired anti-tumor activity both vitro murine ID8 models. Our findings demonstrate as novel mechanism underlying regression induced niraparib, thereby offering tantalizing prospects frontline application this agent management OC.

The occurrence of ovarian cancer (OC) is a major factor in women’s mortality rates. Despite progress medical treatments, like new drugs targeting homologous recombination deficiency, survival rates for OC patients are still not ideal. tumor microenvironment (TME) includes cells, fibroblasts linked to (CAFs), immune-inflammatory and the substances these cells secrete, along with non-cellular components extracellular matrix (ECM). First, TME mainly plays role inhibiting growth protecting normal cell survival. As tumors progress, gradually becomes place promote progression. Immune have attracted much attention as targets immunotherapy. checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy has potential regulate TME, suppressing factors that facilitate advancement, reactivating immune managing growth, extending advanced cancer. This review presents an outline current studies on distinct cellular elements within detailing their main functions possible signaling pathways. Additionally, we examine immunotherapy rechallenge OC, specific emphasis biological reasons behind resistance ICIs.
