Background: DNA integrity and stability are critical determinants of cell viability. This is especially true in the female germline, wherein DNA integrity underpins successful conception, embryonic development, pregnancy and the production of healthy offspring. However, DNA is not inert; rather, it is subject to assault from various environment factors resulting in chemical modification and/or strand breakage. Read More

PARP inhibitors have shown promising clinical activities for patients with BRCA mutations and are changing the landscape of ovarian cancer treatment. However, the therapeutic mechanisms of action for PARP inhibition in the interaction of tumors with the tumor microenvironment and the host immune system remain unclear. We find that PARP inhibition by olaparib triggers robust local and systemic antitumor immunity involving both adaptive and innate immune responses through a STING-dependent antitumor immune response in mice bearing Brca1-deficient ovarian tumors.

Altered production of adipokines is suggested to play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). C1q/TNF-related proteins (CTRPs) play diverse roles in regulation of metabolism in physiologic and pathologic conditions. In the present study, we assessed serum concentrations of adiponectin, CTRP12, and CTRP13 in individuals with PCOS and those without PCOS. Read More

Purpose Of Review: Poly-ADP-ribosyl-polymerase (PARP) inhibitors are an increasingly-utilized therapy in women with high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma, but tumor resistance to PARP inhibitor monotherapy is inevitable.
Recent Findings: PARP inhibitors have been most studied in patients with breast and ovarian cancers associated with deleterious germline BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations, though their role has expanded to include use as maintenance therapy in women with platinum-sensitive high-grade serous ovarian cancer due to the high propensity of such cancers to have defects in DNA repair by homologous recombination. As mechanisms of PARP inhibitor resistance are elucidated, rationale combination strategies can be devised to extend therapeutic benefits and to abrogate resistance. Read More

Activins are dimeric glycoproteins belonging to the transforming growth factor beta superfamily and resulting from the assembly of two beta subunits, which may also be combined with alpha subunits to form inhibins. Activins were discovered in 1986 following the isolation of inhibins from porcine follicular fluid, and were characterized as ovarian hormones that stimulate follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) release by the pituitary gland. In particular, activin A was shown to be the isoform of greater physiological importance in humans. Read More

Cisplatin (DDP)-based chemotherapy is a standard strategy for ovarian cancer (OC), while chemoresistance remains a major therapeutic challenge. Transcription factor SOX9 has been reported to be associated with tumor cell proliferation, metastasis, and chemoresistance. In the current study, we observed a higher SOX9 expression in OC cell lines; SOX9 overexpression might aggravate the chemoresistance of the OC cell to DDP, whereas its knockdown enhanced the chemoresistance.
