Expression of the Immune Checkpoints LAG-3 and PD-L1 in High-grade Serous Ovarian Carcinoma: Relationship to Tumor-associated Lymphocytes and Germline BRCA Status.
Expression of the Immune Checkpoints LAG-3 and PD-L1 in High-grade Serous Ovarian Carcinoma: Relationship to Tumor-associated Lymphocytes and Germline BRCA Status.
We used CRISPR-DS to deeply sequence (mean Duplex depth ~3000×) the TP53 gene in 30 Pap tests from 21 women without cancer and 9 women with serous ovarian carcinoma with known TP53 driver mutations.
The significant up-regulation of AnxA6 in OC, reported for the first time, is likely to provide insight into the mechanism of OC progression, which may lead to the design of potential diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.This article is protected by copyright.All rights reserved.
In addition, multivariate analysis revealed that AGBL2 could be identified as a potential independent prognostic factor for overall survival in patients with ovarian carcinoma (P=0.004).
However, the status of SLC12A5 amplification and expression in ovarian carcinoma and its potential clinical and/or prognostic significance has not yet been investigated.
Here we assess the expression levels of progesterone receptor (PR), estrogen receptor alpha (ER) and androgen receptor (AR) using histoscore - a nuclear scoring method incorporating both proportion of positive cells and the intensity of nuclear staining - across a cohort of 107 WT1 negative EnOCs.
Correlation analysis showed that plasma levels of MIR4435-2HG and TGF-β1 were positively correlated only in OC patients. qPCR and western blot analysis results showed that MIR4435-2HG overexpression led to upregulation of TGF-β1 in OC cells, while TGF-β1 treatment did not significantly affect MIR4435-2HG expression.

The inhibition of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) was determined in vitro, and the respective sensitization of doxorubicin-resistant ovarian carcinoma overproducing P-gp was detected.
The repression of MCL1 gene expression caused by either miR-153-3p or small interfering RNA technique led to significantly reduced OVC cell growth and invasion in vitro.
