[PMID: 36934683 DOI: 10.1016/j.tice.2023.102072] [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: 07/18/2022] [Revised: 02/28/2023] [Accepted: 03/14/2023] [Indexed: 03/17/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynaecological malignancy. Damage specific DNA-binding protein 1 (DDB1) functions in nucleotide-excision repair and has been reported to be involved in cancer development. In this study, we aimed to determine the expression levels of DDB1 and their association with the clinical outcomes of patients with ovarian cancer. METHODS Tissue arrays were performed on 54 epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) samples. Immunohistochemistry was performed to determine DDB1 expression. DDB1 expression levels among different EOC subtypes were analysed via one-way analysis of variance using SPSS Statistics 19.0. Correlation between DDB1 expression and chemotherapy course/progression-free survival (PFS) of patients was determined via Kaplan-Meier survival analysis using GraphPad Prism 5. Moreover, knockdown of DDB1 in ovarian cancer cells ES2 and OVCAR3 was used to preliminarily validate the role of DDB1. RESULTS DDB1 was detected in the cytoplasm, especially in the nucleus, of all subtypes of EOC. However, DDB1 expression levels were significantly different between clear cell carcinoma and low-grade serous carcinoma (P = 0.022) and clear cell carcinoma and endometrioid cancer (P = 0.016). In addition, DDB1 expression was not significantly correlated with chemotherapy course (P = 0.433) or PFS (P = 0.566). High expression levels of DDB1 were correlated with significantly worse overall survival (P = 0.017) in patients with EOC. In addition, DDB1 knockdown in ovarian cancer cells decreased their proliferation in vitro. CONCLUSION Our results revealed that DDB1 expression is heterogeneous in ovarian cancer, suggesting its use as a potential biomarker for poor survival in ovarian cancer.

J Assist Reprod Genet 2021; 38:2631-2639. [PMID: 33834328 DOI: 10.1007/s10815-021-02177-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2020] [Accepted: 03/28/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the correlation between SNPs at phosphatidylinositol-4, 5-bisphosphate 3-kinase catalytic subunit alpha (PIK3CA) rs9838117 site, erb-b2 receptor tyrosine kinase 2 (ERBB2) rs1058808 site, and their interactions with environmental factors and the epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) risk. METHODS Sanger sequencing was used to analyze the genotypes of PIK3CA rs9838117 and ERBB2 rs1058808 site in 587 patients with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). Multi-factor dimensionality reduction (MDR) was applied to analyze the interaction between PIK3CA rs9838117 and ERBB2 rs1058808 site and the clinical data. RESULTS The risk of EOC in T allele carriers at PIK3CA rs9838117 was 1.95 times (95%CI: 1.55-2.46, P<0.01) that of G allele carriers. The risk of EOC in G allele carriers at ERBB2 rs1058808 was as 0.64 times (95%CI: 0.54-0.75, P <0.01) as the risk for C allele carriers. In the interaction model between clinical data, PIK3CA rs9838117 site and ERBB2 rs1058808 SNP site, EOC risk in high-risk combination was 3.10 times (95%CI: 1.49-6.46, P <0.01) that of low-risk combination. CONCLUSION The SNPs at PIK3CA rs9838117 and ERBB2 rs1058808 loci were associated with the risk of EOC.

Abstract
High grade serous ovarian cancer is characterized by relatively few mutations occurring at low frequency, except in TP53. However other genetic aberrations such as copy number variation alter numerous oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes. Oncogenes are positive regulators of tumorigenesis and play a critical role in cancer cell growth, proliferation, and survival. Accumulating evidence suggests that they are crucial for the development and the progression of high grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC). Though many oncogenes have been identified, no successful inhibitors targeting these molecules and their associated pathways are available. This review discusses oncogenes that have been identified recently in HGSOC using different screening strategies. All the genes discussed in this review have been functionally characterized both in vitro and in vivo and some of them are able to transform immortalized ovarian surface epithelial and fallopian tube cells upon overexpression. However, it is necessary to delineate the molecular pathways affected by these oncogenes for the development of therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Somatic copy number alterations (SCNAs) are important biological characteristics that can identify genome-wide alterations in renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Recent studies have shown that SCNAs have potential value for determining the prognosis of RCC. We examined SCNAs using the Affymetrix platform to analyze samples from 59 patients with clear cell RCCs (ccRCCs) including first cohort (30 cases) and second cohort (validation cohort, 29 cases). We stratified SCNAs in the ccRCCs using a hierarchical cluster analysis based on SCNA types, including gain, loss of heterozygosity (LOH), copy neutral LOH, mosaic, and mixed types. In this way, the examined two cohorts were categorized into two subgroups (1 and 2). Although the frequency of mixed type was higher in subgroup 1 than in subgroup 2 in the two cohorts, the association did not reach statistical significance. There was a significant difference in the frequency of metachronous metastasis between subgroups 1 and 2 (subgroup 2 > 1). In addition, subgroup 2 was retained in multivariate analysis of both cohorts. We examined whether there were specific alleles differing between subgroups 1 and 2 in both cohorts. We found that there was indeed a statistically significant difference in the 3p mixed types. Among the 3p mixed type, we found that 3p24.3 mixed type was inversely correlated with the presence of metachronous metastasis in ccRCC. The association was also retained in multivariate analysis in second cohort. We suggest that the 3p24.3 mixed type may be a novel marker to predict a favorable prognosis in ccRCC.

Massively parallel sequencing of cell-free DNA in plasma for detecting gynaecological tumour-associated copy number alteration. Sci Rep 2018; 8:11205. [PMID: 30046040 PMCID: PMC6060170 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-018-29381-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2018] [Accepted: 07/11/2018] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
The discovery of circulating tumour DNA molecules created a paradigm shift in tumour biomarkers as predictors of recurrence. Non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) to detect circulating cell-free foetal DNA in maternal plasma is increasingly recognised as a valuable substitute to perceive foetal copy number variation (CNV). This study aimed to determine whether the copy number detection in plasma samples using NIPT platform could be used as a prognostic biomarker in patients with gynaecological cancer. We conducted a prospective study using samples containing preoperative plasma from 100 women with gynaecological cancers. Samples were randomly rearranged and blindly sequenced using a low-coverage whole-genome sequencing plasma DNA, NIPT platform. The NIPT pipeline identified copy number alterations (CNAs) were counted in plasma as a gain or loss if they exceeded 10 Mb from the expected diploid coverage. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were analysed according to the presence of CNA in plasma using Kaplan-Meier analyses. The NIPT pipeline detected 19/100 cases of all gynaecological cancers, including 6/36 ovarian cancers, 3/11 cervical cancers, and 10/53 endometrial cancers. Patients with CNA in plasma had a significantly poorer prognosis in all stages concerning PFS and OS. Therefore, low-coverage sequencing NIPT platform could serve as a predictive marker of patient outcome.
