Project description:We measured gene expression in single-cell RNA sequencing samples from patients with high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC), for a study on improving HGSOC subtype definition by taking into account varying cell type proportions within tumors.
Project description:Ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynecologic cancer. High-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC) is the most common histologic subtype, accounting for three quarters of ovarian cancer. To clarify the changes of gene expression in serous ovarian cancer, we performed lncRNA and mRNA microarrays to identify differentially expressed lncRNAs and mRNAs in High-grade and Low-grade serous ovarian carcinoma compared with Normal fallopian tube.
Project description:High-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC) is the most lethal gynecologic neoplasm, with five-year survival rate below 30%. Early disease detection is of utmost importance to improve the cure rate of HGSOC. Liquid biopsies are now becoming a new paradigm to develop novel biomarkers with diagnostic and prognostic purposes. The focus of this study was to detect the levels of circulating miRNAs in tissues and sera from patients with HGSOC and to evaluate their diagnostic value. To this end, an array-based discovery platform, followed by an innovative statistical approach of data normalization, was exploited, to identify miRNA species selectively expressed in serum of patients with HGSOC. Sera from 106 high grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC) and 24 healthy controls were used for profiling serum microRNA using a modified version of a commercially available microarray, with the aim of identifying differentially expressed microRNA between tumor patients and healthy controls.
Project description:Tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) play a significant role in the tumor microenvironment in high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC). To better understand the interactions and functions of TILs in HGSOC progression, we performed proteogenomic profiling of TILs in 65 tumors collected from 12 HGSOC patients.
Project description:In the present project, in order to explore the molecular basis of platinum resistance and further determine potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets for high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC), we conducted a comparative proteomic analysis to identify the differentially expressed proteins between tumor tissues from platinum-sensitive and platinum-resistant HGSOC patient groups.
Project description:High-grade serous ovarian cancer is the most aggressive histological type of epithelial ovarian cancer, which is characterized by a high frequency of somatic TP53 mutations. To provide a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of these cancers and to develop a risk classification system, we conducted profiling of the copy number alterations present in these tumors. Thirty patients who were diagnosed as high-grade serous ovarian cancer were recruited in this study. Affymetrix SNP array were performed according to the manufacturer's directions on DNA extracted from high-grade serous ovarian cancer tissues or peripheral blood samples.

Project description:Ovarian cancer is one of the most lethal female cancer and tends to be diagnosed at an advanced stage, resulting high recurrence and mortality rates despite the treatment. Accurate prediction of prognosis is necessary to facilitate molecular profiling-based treatment. We investigated novel, blood-based prognostic biomarkers for high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC) using mass spectrometry-based proteomics methods.
Project description:In this study, we performed miRNA profiles analysis of high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma compared to normal fallopian tube fimbria using microarray (Exiqon, Denmark) to evaluate their potential role in the pathogenesis of uterine leiomyoma. miRNA profiling analysis of the 10 samples including 5 high-grade serous ovarian carcinomas and 5 normal fallopian tube fimbria.
