Ascites extracellular vesicle microRNA profiles of platinum-resistant high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Ovarian cancer is one of the leading causes of death in females in the world. High-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC) is the most common histological subtype, and the platinum-resistance is a clinical challenge. HGSOC frequently spreads to the peritoneal cavity and causes carcinomatous peritonitis. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are lipid-bilayer nanoparticles containing various bioactive molecules. Thus, EVs mediate cell-to-cell communication and contribute to cancer progression. Moreover, EVs stably exist in the body fluid, including serum and ascites. This study investigated the ascites EV miRNA profiles of platinum-resistant and platinum-sensitive HGSOC.
