High-fat diet and obesity are associated with differential angiogenic gene expression in epithelial ovarian cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

We sought to evaluate the association between diet and angiogenic biomarkers in KpB mice, and the association between these markers, body mass index (BMI), and overall survival (OS) in high-grade serous cancers (HGSC).

Methods

Tumors previously obtained from KpB mice subjected to high-fat diets (HFD, n = 10) or low-fat diets (LFD, n = 10) were evaluated for angiogenesis based on CD-31 microvessel density (MVD). Data from prior microarray analysis (Agilent 244 K arrays) conducted in 10 mice were utilized to assess associations between diet and angiogenetic biomarkers. Agilent (mouse) and Affymetrix Human Genome U133a probes were linked to 162 angiogenic-related genes. The associations between biomarkers, BMI, and OS were evaluated in an HGSC internal database (IDB)
