Ovarian cancer (OC) is one of the most common gynecological cancers, with worst prognosis and highest mortality rate. Peritoneal dissemination (or carcinomatosis) accompanied by ascites formation unfavorable factor in progression recurrence OC. Tumor cells are present as either separate or, more often, cell aggregates, i.e., spheroids which promote implantation on surface nearby organs and, at later stages, metastases to distant organs. Malignant comprises a unique tumor microenvironment; this fact may be relevance search for new prognostic predictive factors that would make it possible personalize treatment patients However, precise mechanisms spheroid carcinomatosis still under investigation. Here, we summarize data composition well activity fibroblasts macrophages, key stromal immune components, OC ascites. We describe current knowledge about role macrophages formation, discuss specific functions fibroblasts, T peritoneal implantation.

Microfluidic chips are valuable tools for studying intricate cellular and cell-microenvironment interactions. Traditional in vitro cancer models lack accuracy mimicking the complexities of vivo tumor microenvironment. However, cancer-metastasis-on-a-chip (CMoC) combine advantages 3D cultures microfluidic technology, serving as powerful platforms exploring mechanisms facilitating drug screening. These able to compartmentalize metastatic cascade, deepening understanding its underlying mechanisms. This article provides an overview current CMoC models, focusing on distinctive that simulate invasion, intravasation, circulation, extravasation, colonization, their applications Furthermore, challenges faced by technologies discussed, while promising future directions research. The ongoing development integration these into studies expected drive transformative advancements field.

Due to its propensity metastasize, cancer remains one of the leading causes death worldwide. Thanks in part their intrinsic low cytotoxicity, effects flavonoid family prevention and treatment various human cancers, both vitro vivo, have received increasing attention recent years. It is well documented that Apigenin (4′,5,7-trihydroxyflavone), among other flavonoids, able modulate key signaling molecules involved initiation cell proliferation, invasion, metastasis, including JAK/STAT, PI3K/Akt/mTOR, MAPK/ERK, NF-κB, Wnt/β-catenin pathways, as oncogenic non-coding RNA network. Based on these premises, aim this review emphasize some events through which suppresses focusing specifically ability target molecular pathways angiogenesis, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), maintenance stem cells (CSCs), cycle arrest, death.

Most anticancer treatments trigger tumor cell death through apoptosis, where initiation of proteolytic action caspase protein is a basic need. But under certain circumstances, apoptosis prevented by the inhibitor proteins, survivin and Hsp70. Several drugs focusing on classical programmed have been reported to low anti-tumorogenic potency due mutations in proteins involved caspase-dependent with intrinsic extrinsic pathways. This review concentrates role anti-cancer drug molecules targeting alternative pathways cancer for treatment, providing molecular basis new strategies novel treatment. Under these conditions, active agents can be considered as potent chemotherapeutic drugs. Many natural compounds other small molecules, such inorganic synthetic compounds, including several repurposing drugs, are cause caspase-independent system. However, few indicated both well caspase-free specific lines. Cancer cells methods which equally promising being targeted molecules. These may useful leads rational therapeutic design, potential interest future cancer-preventive strategies.

Induction of cell death and inhibition proliferation in cancer have been set as some the main goals anti-tumor therapy. Cancer resistance leads to less efficient therapy, consequently, higher doses anticancer drugs, which may eventually increase risk serious side effects normal tissues. Apigenin, a nature-derived herbal agent, has shown properties several types cancer, can induce directly and/or amplify induction through other modalities. Although mechanism apigenin order is apoptosis, pathways, such autophagic death, senescence, anoikis, necroptosis, ferroptosis, reported be induced by apigenin. It seems that enhances apoptosis inducing immunity tumor suppressor genes, like p53 PTEN, also inhibiting STAT3 NF-κB signaling pathways. Furthermore, it ferroptosis endogenous ROS generation. Stimulation production well downregulation drug-resistance mediators, mechanisms necroptosis. each type highly dependent on cancer. These modulatory actions enhance agents, ionizing radiation chemotherapy drugs. This review explains how at cellular molecular levels.

Abstract Background Oncogenic transformation alters intracellular metabolism and contributes to the growth of malignant cells. Metabolomics, or study small molecules, can reveal insight about cancer progression that other biomarker studies cannot. Number metabolites involved in this process have been spotlight for detection, monitoring, therapy. Recent Findings In review, “Metabolomics” is defined terms current technology having both clinical translational applications. Researchers shown metabolomics be used discern metabolic indicators non‐invasively using different analytical methods like positron emission tomography, magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging etc. Metabolomic profiling a powerful technically feasible way track changes tumor gauge treatment response across time. also predict individual treatment, measure medication efficacy, monitor drug resistance. Its significance development summarized review. Conclusion Although infancy, identify options and/or responsiveness treatments. Technical challenges database management, cost methodical knowhow still persist. Overcoming these near further help designing new régimes with increased sensitivity specificity.
