Verger A, Dollo G, Martinais S, Molard Y, Cordier S, Amela-Cortes M, Brandhonneur N. Molybdenum-Iodine Cluster Loaded Polymeric Nanoparticles Allowing a Coupled Therapeutic Action with Low Side Toxicity for Treatment of Ovarian Cancer. J Pharm Sci 2022; 111:3377-3383. [PMID: 36126760 DOI: 10.1016/j.xphs.2022.09.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2022] [Revised: 09/13/2022] [Accepted: 09/13/2022] [Indexed: 01/05/2023]
Abstract
The ability of cancer cells to develop resistance to anti-cancer drugs, known as multidrug resistance, remains a major cause of tumor recurrence and cancer metastasis. This work explores the double mechanism of toxicity of (D, L-lactide-co-glycolide) acid (PLGA) nanoparticles encapsulating a molybdenum cluster compound, namely Cs2[{Mo6I8}(OOCC2F5)6] (CMIF). Hemocompatibility and biocompatibility assays show the safe potential of CMIF loaded nanoparticles (CNPs) as delivery systems intended for tumor targeting for PDT of ovarian cancer with a slight hemolytic activity and a lack of toxicity up to 50 µM CMIF concentration. Cellular uptake shows a preferential uptake of CNPs in lysosomes, which is not interfering with CMIF activity. The double mechanism of CNPs consists in a production of ROS and a DNA damage activity, from 5 µM and 0.5 µM respectively (CMIF concentration). The cellular death mechanism comprises 80% of necrosis and 20% of direct apoptosis by direct DNA damages. This work confirms CMIF loaded PLGA nanoparticles as an efficient and relevant delivery system for PDT.

Downregulation of LEMD1-AS1 and Its Influences on the Diagnosis, Prognosis, and Immune Infiltrates of Epithelial Ovarian Cancer. DISEASE MARKERS 2022; 2022:6408879. [PMID: 35968498 PMCID: PMC9365578 DOI: 10.1155/2022/6408879] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/15/2022] [Revised: 07/21/2022] [Accepted: 07/23/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
Previous studies have confirmed long noncoding RNA LEMD1-AS1 (LEMD1-AS1) as a functional factor in several tumors. The present work is aimed at exploring the prognostic and diagnostic values of LEMD1-AS1 in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). We examined the expressions of LEMD1-AS1 in pan-cancer from TCGA microarray datasets and GTEx Project. The expressions of LEMD1-AS1 were detected by qRT-PCR in EOC specimens and normal ovarian specimens from 30 EOC patients. The χ2 test was applied to compare the clinicopathological characteristics of different groups. ROC curves were established to determine the diagnostic values of LEMD1-AS1 in screening EOC tissues. The association of LEMD1-AS1 expression with clinical outcome was determined by the Kaplan-Meier methods and COX assays. A decreased expression of LEMD1-AS1 was observed in EOC tissues compared to matched normal specimens (p < 0.01). Low LEMD1-AS1 expression could be used to distinguish EOC from adjacent normal specimens. A clinical study revealed that patients with low LEMD1-AS1 expression have a shorter overall survival (p = 0.035) and progress-free interval (p = 0.041) than those with high LEMD1-AS1 expression. The Spearman correlation test revealed that LEMD1-AS1 expressions were negatively associated with the expressions of neutrophil and myeloid dendritic cell. Overall, our finding suggested that LEMD1-AS1 may have potential roles as a potential biomarker and/or a therapeutic target in EOC.

Abstract
Cisplatin (DDP) is first-line management for ovarian cancer (OC). Previous data have suggested that circular RNA_0007841 (circ_0007841) regulates OC progression; however, there is no data on its role in the sensitivity of OC cells to DDP. RNA expression of circ_0007841, microRNA-532-5p (miR-532-5p) and nuclear factor I B (NFIB) was detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction in OC patient samples and OC cell lines. Protein expression was checked by Western blotting analysis. Cell viability, proliferation, cell apoptotic rate, migration and invasion were investigated by 3-(4,5)-dimethylthiahiazo (-z-y1)-3,5-diphenytetrazoliumromide, 5-Ethynyl-29-deoxyuridine, flow cytometry analysis, scratch test and transwell assays, respectively. The interactions among circ_0007841, miR-532-5p and NFIB were identified by a dual-luciferase reporter assay. Xenograft mouse model assay was performed to determine the effect of circ_0007841 on DDP sensitivity in vivo. Circ_0007841 and NFIB expression were upregulated, whereas miR-532-5p was downregulated in DDP-resistant OC tissues and cells compared with controls. Circ_0007841 silencing improved DDP sensitivity, inhibited cell proliferation, invasion and migration, but induced cell apoptosis in DDP-resistant OC cells. Circ_0007841 acted as a miR-532-5p sponge and regulated DDP resistance and OC cell malignancy through miR-532-5p in DDP-resistant OC cells. Besides, the overexpression of NFIB, a target of miR-532-5p, remitted miR-532-5p-mediated effects in DDP-resistant OC cells. Circ_0007841 depletion conferred DDP sensitivity to DDP-resistant OC cells in vivo. Further, circ_0007841 was secreted from DDP-resistant OC cells through being packaged into exosomes. Circ_0007841 conferred DDP resistance to DDP-resistant OC cells through the miR-532-5p/NFIB axis, suggesting the potential of circ_0007841 as a therapeutic target for OC.

Regulation of ACSL4-Catalyzed Lipid Peroxidation Process Resists Cisplatin Ototoxicity. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2022; 2022:3080263. [PMID: 35355868 PMCID: PMC8958074 DOI: 10.1155/2022/3080263] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2021] [Accepted: 02/16/2022] [Indexed: 01/21/2023]
Abstract
Cisplatin-induced ototoxicity is one of the common side effects during its treatment and there are no effective measures to prevent it. Our study aimed to investigate the effect of ACSL4-catalyzed lipid peroxidation on cisplatin-induced hearing loss and its possible protective mechanisms. We used a variety of cisplatin ototoxicity models, including HEI-OC1 cell line, cochlear explants, and ET4 GFP+ zebrafish. After measuring the experimental concentrations of cisplatin by CCK8 assay and immunofluorescence, respectively, we examined the levels of lipid peroxidation by MDA content, 4-HNE content, and C11-BODIPY (581/591) probe. Then, we used two ferroptosis inhibitors, FER-1, and Vit-E to protect hair cells. We found that cisplatin significantly increased the levels of lipid peroxidation and that this process can be resisted by the ferroptosis inhibitors. Afterwards, we performed metabolomic assays on the cisplatin-treated hair cells. The metabolite levels were significantly altered in the experimental group compared to the control group, and the highest degree of change was observed in the glutathione metabolic pathway and the arachidonic acid metabolic pathway. Therefore, we screened the key enzymes on the arachidonic acid metabolic pathway in the hair cells after cisplatin treatment and found that ACSL4 had the greatest regulatory value. Further, we reduced the level of lipid peroxide in hair cells by specifically inhibiting the expression of ACSL4, which protected hair cells from cisplatin damage at source. In conclusion, the lipid peroxidation process regulated by ACSL4 may be an important factor contributing to the sensitivity of hair cells to cisplatin. Inhibition of ACSL4 expression may be an effective preventive measure against cisplatin ototoxicity.

Abstract
Cisplatin is the most widely used chemotherapeutic agent due to its efficacy in the treatment of a broad range of cancer types; while the side effects and drug resistance of cisplatin limit its clincial application. Combination therapy, which contains several types of free drugs, exhibits promising potential in clinical practice. Nevertheless, current combination chemotherapy cannot accurately deliver different drug components into a single tumor cell at the same time. Herein, we report a triple-action nanoplatinum drug based on artesunate and cantharidin to overcome the influence of pharmacokinetics and distribution variation in different drugs. The results show that the triple action nanoplatinum drug enhances ROS generation, leads to DNA damage, and inhibits DNA repair. Therefore, a high-efficiency killing effect is achieved with a triple-action platinum drug in a single tumor cell.

Abstract
Pamiparib, a selective poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1/2 inhibitor, demonstrated tolerability and antitumor activity in patients with solid tumors at 60 mg orally twice daily. This phase 1 open-label study (NCT03991494; BGB-290-106) investigated the absorption, metabolism, and excretion (AME) of 60 mg [14 C]-pamiparib in 4 patients with solid tumors. The mass balance in excreta, blood, and plasma radioactivity and plasma pamiparib concentration were determined along with metabolite profiles in plasma, urine, and feces. Unchanged pamiparib accounted for the most plasma radioactivity (67.2% ± 10.2%). Pamiparib was rapidly absorbed with a median time to maximum plasma concentration (Cmax ) of 2.00 hours (range, 1.00-3.05 hours). After reaching Cmax , pamiparib declined in a biphasic manner, with a geometric mean terminal half-life (t1/2 ) of 28.7 hours. Mean cumulative [14 C]-pamiparib excretion was 84.7% ± 3.5%. Pamiparib was mainly cleared through metabolism, primarily via N-oxidation and oxidation of the pyrrolidine ring. A dehydrogenated oxidative product (M3) was the most abundant metabolite in biosamples. A mean of 2.11% and 1.11% of [14 C]-pamiparib was excreted as unchanged pamiparib in feces and urine, respectively, indicating near-complete absorption and low renal clearance of parent drug. Cytochrome P450 (CYP) phenotyping demonstrated CYP2C8 and CYP3A involvement in pamiparib metabolism. These findings provide an understanding of pamiparib AME mechanisms and potential drug-drug interaction liability.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Many loci have been found to be associated with risk of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). However, although there is considerable variation in progression-free survival (PFS), no loci have been found to be associated with outcome at genome-wide levels of significance. METHODS We carried out a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of PFS in 2,352 women with EOC who had undergone cytoreductive surgery and standard carboplatin/paclitaxel chemotherapy. RESULTS We found seven SNPs at 12q24.33 associated with PFS (P < 5 × 10-8), the top SNP being rs10794418 (HR = 1.24; 95% CI, 1.15-1.34; P = 1.47 × 10-8). High expression of a nearby gene, ULK1, is associated with shorter PFS in EOC, and with poor prognosis in other cancers. SNP rs10794418 is also associated with expression of ULK1 in ovarian tumors, with the allele associated with shorter PFS being associated with higher expression, and chromatin interactions were detected between the ULK1 promoter and associated SNPs in serous and endometrioid EOC cell lines. ULK1 knockout ovarian cancer cell lines showed significantly increased sensitivity to carboplatin in vitro. CONCLUSIONS The locus at 12q24.33 represents one of the first genome-wide significant loci for survival for any cancer. ULK1 is a plausible candidate for the target of this association. IMPACT This finding provides insight into genetic markers associated with EOC outcome and potential treatment options.See related commentary by Peres and Monteiro, p. 1604.

Abstract
Background Cisplatin (DDP) is standard-of-care and first-line management for ovarian cancer (OvCa). Circular RNA HIPK2 (circHIPK2) is abnormally upregulated in serum of OvCa patients. However, its role in DDP resistance remains unclear. Methods Expression of cirHIPK2, microRNA (miR)-338-3p and chromatin target of protein arginine methyltransferase (CHTOP) was detected by quantitative reverse transcription PCR and Western blotting. Functional experiments were performed using cell counting kit-8 assay, flow cytometry, transwell assays, Western blotting, and xenograft experiment. The interaction among cirHIPK2, miR-338-3p and CHTOP was confirmed by dual-luciferase reporter assay and RNA pull-down assay. Results Expression of circHIPK2 and CHTOP was upregulated, and miR-338-3p was downregulated in human DDP-resistant OvCa tumors and cells. Blocking circHIPK2 could promote apoptosis and suppress the 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) of DDP, cell proliferation, cell cycle entrance, migration and invasion in SKOV3/DDP and A2780/DDP cells. Allied with that was decreased B cell lymphoma (Bcl)-2, matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2) and MMP9 levels, and increased Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax) level. Similarly, overexpression of miR-338-3p functioned suppressive role in SKOV3/DDP and A2780/DDP cells. MiR-338-3p was a target for circHIPK2, and CHTOP was targeted by miR-338-3p, whereas silencing miR-338-3p counteracted the role of circHIPK2 knockdown, and restoring CHTOP either cancelled miR-338-3p role. The growth of A2780/DDP cells in nude mice was restrained by silencing circHIPK2 under DDP treatment or not. Conclusion CircHIPK2 might be a tumor promoter in OvCa and was associated with DDP resistance. Silencing circHIPK2 might suppress DDP-resistant OvCa through regulating miR-338-3p/CHTOP axis.

Platinum-based chemotherapy and bevacizumab instigate the destruction of human ovarian cancers via different signaling pathways. Biochem Pharmacol 2021; 188:114587. [PMID: 33932471 DOI: 10.1016/j.bcp.2021.114587] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2021] [Revised: 03/16/2021] [Accepted: 04/26/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
The standard chemotherapy regimens of ovarian cancer are platinum-based chemotherapy (carboplatin and paclitaxel) and bevacizumab (BEV). However, the effects of BEV alone or combined with carboplatin and paclitaxel on mitochondrial dynamics, mitochondrial function, mitophagy, apoptosis, inflammation and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in human ovarian cancer mitochondria and cells have not yet been investigated. Therefore, we aimed to test the hypothesis that 1) platinum-based chemotherapy and BEV equally damage isolated mitochondria from human ovarian cancers, and ovarian cancer cells through inducing mitochondrial dynamics dysregulation, mitochondrial dysfunction, increased mitophagy and apoptosis, as well as altered inflammation and VEGF; and 2) combined therapies exert greater damage than monotherapy. Each isolated human ovarian cancer mitochondria (n = 16) or CaOV3 cells (n = 6) were treated with either platinum-based chemotherapy (carboplatin 10 μM and paclitaxel 5 μM), BEV (2 mg/mL) or combined platinum-based chemotherapy and BEV for 60 min or 24 h, respectively. Following the treatment, mitochondrial dynamics, mitochondrial function, mitophagy, apoptosis, cytotoxicity, inflammation and VEGF were determined. Platinum-based chemotherapy caused ovarian cancer mitochondria and cell damage through mitochondrial dysfunction, increased cell death with impairment of membrane integrity, and enhanced VEGF reduction, while BEV did not. BEV caused deterioration of ovarian cancer mitochondria and cells through mitochondrial-dependent apoptosis, but it had no effect on cell viability. Interestingly, combined platinum-based chemotherapy and BEV treatments had no addictive effects on all parameters except mitochondrial maximal respiration, when compared to monotherapy. Collectively, these findings suggest that platinum-based chemotherapy and BEV caused human ovarian cancer mitochondrial and cell damage through different mechanisms.

Abstract
Background and purposes The pathogenic BRCA1/2 germline mutations contributed to Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer (HBOC) susceptibility. The features of BRCA1/2 germline mutations in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have not been systematically studied. Here we performed the first study investigating the characteristics of pathogenic BRCA1/2 germline mutations in Chinese NSCLC patients and compared them with those from Chinese HBOC. Methods Information on BRCA1/2 germline mutations from 9010 Chinese NSCLC patients were collected from available studies and analyzed, and compared with the BRCA1/2 germline mutations from Chinese HBOC BRCA1/2 database (LOVD database, 20,523 patients). Results 19 (20 carriers, 0.22 %) pathogenic BRCA1 and 60 (66 carriers, 0.73 %) pathogenic BRCA2 germline mutations from NSCLC were identified. The carrier frequency of BRCA1/2 in Chinese NSCLC patients (86/9010 = 0.95 %) was significantly lower than that in Chinese breast and ovary cancer patients (1481/20,523 = 7.2 %) (P < 0.001). We found that frameshift and nonsense mutations were the predominant types of BRCA1/2 mutation in NSCLC, with no obvious hot spot mutations. No significant difference in the ratio of frameshift and nonsense mutations was found between BRCA1 and BRCA2 in NSCLC. 5 out of 19 mutations in BRCA1 and 23 out of 60 mutations in BRCA2 were novel mutations found in NSCLC that have never been reported in Chinese HBOC. A trend of higher percentage of BRCA1 nonsense mutations in the carriers was revealed in NSCLC compared with HBOC, while no such difference was found in BRCA2 in all types of mutations. Conclusions BRCA1/2 germline mutations from NSCLC exhibited distinct characteristics compared with those from HBOC in Chinese population, including lower carrier frequency than HBOC, higher ratio of nonsense mutations and carriers than HBOC, and novel BRCA1/2 germline mutations never found in HBOC.

Curcumin Nanoparticle Enhances the Anticancer Effect of Cisplatin by Inhibiting PI3K/AKT and JAK/STAT3 Pathway in Rat Ovarian Carcinoma Induced by DMBA. Front Pharmacol 2021; 11:603235.

Abstract
Cisplatin has been used for decades for the treatment of ovarian cancer. However, despite its potent anticancer effect, cisplatin's efficacy as a single agent was inadequate in patients with advanced stage. Curcumin has been shown to sensitize cisplatin activity in several cancer models. However, the low bioavailability of curcumin has limited its anticancer potential. Hence, nano-formulation of curcumin was developed to increase its therapeutic efficacy in ovarian cancer. The objective of this study was to investigate the mechanism of curcumin nanoparticles given in combination with cisplatin in rat ovarian carcinoma induced by dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA). The administration of cisplatin and nanocurcumin resulted in a significant reduction in ovarian tumor volume and weight. Furthermore, there were reduction in expressions of Ki67, TGF-β, PI3K, and Akt phosphorylation. Co-treatment of cisplatin and nanocurcumin also reduced JAK expression, STAT3 phosphorylation, and reduced IL-6 concentrations. Altogether, nanocurcumin, given as a co-treatment with cisplatin has therapeutic potential in ovarian cancer models by inhibiting proliferation through downregulation of PI3K/Akt and JAK/STAT3 signaling pathways.

GSTP1 and ABCB1 Polymorphisms Predicting Toxicities and Clinical Management on Carboplatin and Paclitaxel-Based Chemotherapy in Ovarian Cancer. Clin Transl Sci 2020; 14:720-728. [PMID: 33326171 PMCID: PMC7993324 DOI: 10.1111/cts.12937] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2020] [Accepted: 10/29/2020] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Variation in drug disposition genes might contribute to susceptibility to toxicities and interindividual differences in clinical management on chemotherapy for epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). This study was designed to explore the association of GST and ABCB1 genetic variation with hematologic and neurologic toxicity, changes in chemotherapy, and disease prognosis in Brazilian women with EOC. A total of 112 women with a confirmed histological diagnosis of EOC treated with carboplatin/paclitaxel were enrolled (2014–2019). The samples were analyzed by multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for the deletion of GSTM1 and GSTT1 genes. GSTP1 (c.313A>G/rs1695) and ABCB1 (c.1236C>T/rs1128503; c.3435C>T/rs1045642; c.2677G>T>A/rs2032582) single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were detected by real‐time PCR. Subjects with the GSTP1 c.313A>G had reduced risk of anemia (odds ratio (OR): 0.17, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.04–0.69, P = 0.01, dominant model) and for thrombocytopenia (OR: 0.27, 95% CI: 0.12–0.64, P < 0.01; OR 0.18, 95% CI 0.03–0.85, P = 0.03, either dominant or recessive model), respectively. The GSTP1 c.313A>G AG genotype was associated with a lower risk of dose delay (OR: 0.35, 95% CI: 0.13–0.90, P = 0.03). The ABCB1 c.1236C>T was associated with increased risk of thrombocytopenia (OR: 0.15, 95% CI: 0.03–0.82, P = 0.03), whereas ABCB1 c.3435C>T had increased risk of grade 2 and 3 neurotoxicity (OR: 3.61, 95% CI: 1.08–121.01, P = 0.03) in recessive model (CC + CT vs. TT). This study suggests that GSTP1 c.313A>G, ABCB1 c.1236C>T, and c.3435C>T SNP detection is a potential predictor of hematological toxicity and neurotoxicity and could help predict the clinical management of women with EOC.

Abstract
Inhibitors of poly-ADP-ribose polymerase 1 (PARPi) are highly effective in killing cells deficient in homologous recombination (HR); thus, PARPi have been clinically utilized to successfully treat BRCA2-mutant tumors. However, positive response to PARPi is not universal, even among patients with HR-deficiency. Here, we present the results of genome-wide CRISPR knockout and activation screens which reveal genetic determinants of PARPi response in wildtype or BRCA2-knockout cells. Strikingly, we report that depletion of the ubiquitin ligase HUWE1, or the histone acetyltransferase KAT5, top hits from our screens, robustly reverses the PARPi sensitivity caused by BRCA2-deficiency. We identify distinct mechanisms of resistance, in which HUWE1 loss increases RAD51 levels to partially restore HR, whereas KAT5 depletion rewires double strand break repair by promoting 53BP1 binding to double-strand breaks. Our work provides a comprehensive set of putative biomarkers that advance understanding of PARPi response, and identifies novel pathways of PARPi resistance in BRCA2-deficient cells. Mutations in the homologous recombination proteins BRCA1 and BRCA2 can sensitize cells to treatment with inhibitors of poly-ADP-ribose polymerase 1 (PARPi), but resistance to the treatment can occur. Here the authors by genome-wide CRISPR knockout and activation screens reveal novel pathways of PARPi resistance in BRCA2-deficient cells.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION We aimed to evaluate poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor (PARPi) regimens in BRCA-mutated ovarian cancer for patients responsive to front-line platinum (bevacizumab and olaparib, veliparib and chemotherapy, olaparib) or platinum-sensitive relapsed (olaparib, rucaprib, niraparib) patients in phase III randomized controlled trials. METHODS A network meta-analysis was utilized to generate the direct and indirect comparisons. The primary outcomes for network meta-analysis were efficacy (hazard ratios for progression-free survival in BRCA mutation cohort) and toxicity (odds ratios for all grade 3-4 adverse events). The American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) value framework was used to assess the cost-effectiveness of the PARPi regimens. RESULTS Network meta-analysis indicated no statistically significant differences in efficacy and toxicity among the assessed upfront or relapsed PARPi regimens (95% CI included 1). The ASCO value framework indicated that current PARPi regimens were similar in clinical benefits, toxicity, and net health benefit in the upfront (bevacizumab and olaparib, veliparib and chemotherapy, olaparib) and relapsed setting (olaparib, rucaprib, niraparib). The addition of bevacizumab to olaparib ($353.72) increased the cost per unit net health benefit for patients compared with olaparib monotherapy ($260.57). The upfront PARPi regimens had lower toxic scores than the regimens used at relapse. CONCLUSIONS The choice of PARPi regimens both in the upfront and relapsed setting should consider not only efficacy and toxicity but also costs in BRCA mutation patients. Current combining PARPi regimens are not recommended for such patients in the upfront setting from the cost-effective perspective. Upfront PARPi regimens are less toxic than those used at relapse.

Abstract
Introduction Patients with high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) have a poor prognosis, and current chemotherapy regimens for treating advanced disease are far from satisfactory. Prexasertib (LY2606368) is a novel checkpoint kinase inhibitor (CHK) under investigation for the treatment of HGSOC. Data from a recent phase II trial showed promising efficacy and safety results for treating wild-type BRCA HGSOC. Areas covered This article reviews the available data on the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, clinical efficacy, and safety of prexasertib in the treatment of HGSOC. Expert opinion Until now, prexasertib demonstrated clinical activity in phase I and II clinical trial for treating wild-type BRCA HGSOC, whereas its promising efficacy as monotherapy and combined with olaparib in BRCA-mutated HGSOC has been preliminary evidenced only in phase I studies. Compared to other drugs of the same class, prexasertib showed a better tolerability profile, causing moderate hematological toxicity. Further studies are needed to confirm efficacy and safety profiles of prexasertib in combined regimens. New early clinical trials may investigate prexasertib administered with programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) and PI3 K inhibitors due to the preclinical evidence of a synergic action.

Abstract
Ovarian cancer accounts for most deaths from gynecologic malignancies. Although more than 80% of patients respond to first-line standard of care, most of these responders present with recurrence and eventually succumb to carcinomatosis and chemotherapy-resistant disease. To improve patient survival, new modalities must, therefore, target or prevent recurrent disease. Here we describe for the first time a novel syngeneic mouse model of recurrent high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC), which allows immunotherapeutic interventions in a time course relevant to human carcinomatosis and disease course. Using this model, we demonstrate the efficacy of Transimmunization (TI), a dendritic cell (DC) vaccination strategy that uses autologous and physiologically derived DC loaded with autologous whole tumor antigens. TI has been proven successful in the treatment of human cutaneous T cell lymphoma and we report for the first time its in vivo efficacy against an intra-peritoneal solid tumor. Given as a single therapy, TI is able to elicit an effective anti-tumor immune response and inhibit immune-suppressive crosstalks with sufficient power to curtail tumor progression and establishment of carcinomatosis and recurrent disease. Specifically, TI is able to inhibit the expansion of tumor-associated macrophages as well as myeloid-derived suppressive cells consequently restoring T cell immune-surveillance. These results demonstrate the possible value of TI in the management of ovarian cancer and other intra-peritoneal tumors.

Abstract
Background The aim of this study was to investigate the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) relevant to prognosis of ovarian cancer by use of integrated bioinformatics analysis. Material/Methods The DEGs between normal ovariy tissue and ovarian cancer tissue were screened in GSE54388, GSE14407, and GSE18520 datasets and the overlapping DEGs were then indentified. GO and KEEG enrichment were performed to analyze the biological functions and pathways of the DEGs. A protein–protein interaction (PPI) network of the identified DEGs was constructed using the STRING database. Differences in prognosis between low and high expression of the hub DEGs were also evaluated using the Kaplan-Meier Plotter database. Protein expression of 2 hub genes – BUB1B and KIF201A – was assessed by immunohistochemistry assay and evaluated with the patient’s clinical pathology characteristics. Results We identified 361 DEGs, mainly involving oncogene-induced cell senescence, cyclin B1-CDK1 complex, protein kinase A catalytic subunit binding, cell cycle, and p53 signaling pathway. Ten hub genes were identified from among the 361 DEGs. The overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) of these 10 hub genes were evaluated in the Kaplan-Meier-plotter database. Three (BUB1B, KIF11, and KIF20A) of the 10 hub genes were found to be correlated with ovarian cancer OS and PFS. BUB1B expression level was correlated with ovarian FIGO stage (p<0.05) and tumor differentiation (p<0.05). For KIF20A, the expression level was correlated with FIGO stage (p<0.05) and intraperitoneal metastasis (p<0.05). Conclusions DEGs can participate in ovarian cancer development and can be used as biomarkers for prognosis. Patients with upregulated BUB1B, KIF11, and KIF20A tend to have worse overall survival and disease-free survival compared with patients who have low expression.

Abstract
Purpose The aim of this study is to analyze the outcomes of platinum-sensitive (PS) recurrent ovarian cancer treated with pegylated liposomal doxorubicin and carboplatin (CD) versus paclitaxel and carboplatin (CP). Clinical features were examined to characterize the patient population that would benefit from CD. Materials and methods This is a retrospective review of 122 cases at a tertiary hospital. Patients with PS recurrent ovarian cancer who received CD or CP were included. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were evaluated through the Kaplan–Meier method and log-rank test. Cox proportional hazards regression was used to examine PFS predictors. Results In total, 122 patients (75% with first recurrence and 25% with second recurrence) were included. The majority of the patients were diagnosed at an advanced stage and with the histology of serous carcinoma. Median PFS and OS were 14.8 and 55.5 months in the CD group and 13.5 and 56.8 months in the CP group. Subgroup analysis of patients revealed that the CD group had longer median PFS than the CP group among patients with PFI>12 months. Additionally, during the second recurrence, longer PFS was observed in the CD group than in the CP group (medians 22.3 and 13.5 months, respectively, p = 0.019). Conclusion Comparable outcomes in recurrent platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer treated with CD versus CP were presented in this study. Longer PFS in CD group was observed among patients with PFI for more than 12 months or in second recurrence.

Front Oncol 2019; 9:986.

Abstract
Recurrence within 6 months of the last round of chemotherapy is clinically defined as platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. Gene expression associated with early recurrence may provide insights into platinum resistant recurrence. Prior studies identified a 14-gene model that accurately predicted early or late recurrence in 86% of patients. One of the genes identified was CC2D1A (encoding coiled-coil and C2 domain containing 1A), which showed higher expression in tumors from patients with early recurrence. Here, we show that CC2D1A protein expression was higher in cisplatin-resistant ovarian cancer cell lines compared to cisplatin-sensitive cell lines. In addition, immunohistochemical analysis of patient tumors on a tissue microarray (n = 146) showed that high levels of CC2D1A were associated with a significantly worse overall and progression-free survival (p = 0.0002 and p = 0.006, respectively). To understand the contribution of CC2D1A in chemoresistance, we generated shRNA-mediated knockdown of CC2D1A in SKOV3ip and PEO4 cell lines. Cell death and clonogenic assays of these isogenic clonal lines clearly showed that downregulation of CC2D1A resulted in increased sensitivity to cisplatin and paclitaxel in ovarian cancer cells. Moreover, nude mice bearing SKOV3ip xenografts with stably downregulated CC2D1A were more sensitive to chemotherapy as evidenced by a significantly longer survival time compared to xenografts derived from cells stably transduced with non-targeting shRNA. These results suggest CC2D1A promotes chemotherapy resistance in ovarian cancer.
