Project description:High-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC) is the most common and deadliest ovarian cancer (OC) type, accounting for 70-80% of OC deaths. This high mortality is largely due to late diagnosis. Early detection is thus crucial to reduce mortality, yet the tumor pathogenesis of HGSC remains poorly understood, making early detection exceedingly difficult. Faithfully and reliably representing the clinical nature of human HGSC, a recently developed triple-knockout (TKO) mouse model offers a unique opportunity to examine the entire disease spectrum of HGSC. Metabolic alterations were investigated by applying ultra-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS) to serum samples collected from these mice at premalignant, early, and advanced stages of HGSC. This comprehensive analysis revealed a panel of 29 serum metabolites that distinguished mice with HGSC from controls and mice with uterine tumors with over 95% accuracy. Meanwhile, our panel could further distinguish early-stage HGSC from controls with 100% accuracy and from advanced-stage HGSC with over 90% accuracy. Important identified metabolites included phospholipids, sphingomyelins, sterols, N-acyltaurine, oligopeptides, bilirubin, 2(3)-hydroxysebacic acids, uridine, N-acetylneuraminic acid, and pyrazine derivatives. Overall, our study provides insights into dysregulated metabolism associated with HGSC development and progression, and serves as a useful guide toward early detection.

Project description:We report a case of a previously healthy woman in her early 70s who presented with 2 weeks of episodic abdominal pain and significant weight loss. Imaging of her abdomen revealed acute right ovarian torsion associated with bilateral ovarian enlargement and an indeterminant pelvic mass. An urgent laparoscopic bilateral oophorectomy was performed with pathological results consistent with triple-hit high-grade B-cell lymphoma. She was successfully treated with dose-adjusted etoposide, prednisone, vincristine, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin and rituximab, intrathecal methotrexate and venetoclax with complete remission after three cycles. Ovarian lymphoma is a rare entity and its genetic features have not been well described. We performed a literature review, describe the current knowledge regarding ovarian lymphoma and its therapeutic implication in the genomic age.

Project description:The present review focuses on the current status of molecular pathology in high-grade serous cancer (HGSC) and preneoplastic conditions. This article reviews the English-language literature on HGSC, precursor, fallopian tubal epithelium, secretory cells, ciliated cells, secretory cell expansion, secretory cell outgrowth (SCOUT), p53 signature, serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma (STIC), DNA damage and immunohistochemistry in an effort to identify the precursor-carcinoma sequence in HGSC. The majority of HGSC originates from the fimbriated end of the fallopian tube secretory epithelial cells, while the small part of this disease may develop from ovarian cortical inclusion cyst (CIC). A series of morphological changes from normal fallopian epithelium to preneoplastic to neoplastic lesions were concomitant with the multistep accumulation of molecular and genetic alterations. Recent studies provide a stepwise progression of fallopian tubal epithelium to precursor lesions to carcinoma, with the aid of a 'secretory cell-SCE-SCOUT-p53 signature-STIC-HGSC sequence' model. Immunohistochemical markers, including p53, STMN1, EZH2, CCNE1, Ki67 and γ-H2AX, were gradually increased during the SCOUT-p53 signature-STIC-HGSC sequence. Conversely, PAX2 expression was decreased during the early phase of SCOUT development. Potential genes and proteins are involved in the evolutionary trajectory of the precursor-cancer lineage model. In the present review we examined detailed aspects of the molecular changes involved in malignant transformation from fallopian tube epithelium to HGSC. A precursor condition originating in 'field cancerization' may gain a growth advantage, leading to HGSC.

Project description:Sequential Window Acquisition of All Theoretical Mass Spectra (SWATH-MS) is a DIA method whose use in proteomic studies has increased considerably within the past five years. SWATH-MS acquires a complete and permanent digital record for all the detectable MS/MS spectra of a sample using DIA. After their generation, the SWATH-MS maps can be used for iterative analyses of candidate proteins. As with any analytical methodology that has potential widespread use, several studies have been conducted to optimize and evaluate the performance of SWATH-MS. The present dataset was acquired from 103 tissue samples of high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma collected and processed in the context of the CPTAC initiative and analyzed via bottom-up SWATH mass spectrometry.

Project description:There is a need for transplantable murine models of ovarian high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC) with regard to mutations in the human disease to assist investigations of the relationships between tumor genotype, chemotherapy response, and immune microenvironment. In addressing this need, we performed whole-exome sequencing of ID8, the most widely used transplantable model of ovarian cancer, covering 194,000 exomes at a mean depth of 400× with 90% exons sequenced >50×. We found no functional mutations in genes characteristic of HGSC (Trp53, Brca1, Brca2, Nf1, and Rb1), and p53 remained transcriptionally active. Homologous recombination in ID8 remained intact in functional assays. Further, we found no mutations typical of clear cell carcinoma (Arid1a, Pik3ca), low-grade serous carcinoma (Braf), endometrioid (Ctnnb1), or mucinous (Kras) carcinomas. Using CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing, we modeled HGSC by generating novel ID8 derivatives that harbored single (Trp53-/-) or double (Trp53-/-;Brca2-/-) suppressor gene deletions. In these mutants, loss of p53 alone was sufficient to increase the growth rate of orthotopic tumors with significant effects observed on the immune microenvironment. Specifically, p53 loss increased expression of the myeloid attractant CCL2 and promoted the infiltration of immunosuppressive myeloid cell populations into primary tumors and their ascites. In Trp53-/-;Brca2-/- mutant cells, we documented a relative increase in sensitivity to the PARP inhibitor rucaparib and slower orthotopic tumor growth compared with Trp53-/- cells, with an appearance of intratumoral tertiary lymphoid structures rich in CD3+ T cells. This work validates new CRISPR-generated models of HGSC to investigate its biology and promote mechanism-based therapeutics discovery. Cancer Res; 76(20); 6118-29. ©2016 AACR.

Project description:ImportanceAbout 25% of all triple-negative breast cancers (TNBCs) and 10% to 20% of high-grade serous ovarian cancers (HGSOCs) harbor BRCA1 promoter methylation. While constitutional BRCA1 promoter methylation has been observed in normal tissues of some individuals, the potential role of normal tissue methylation as a risk factor for incident TNBC or HGSOC is unknown.ObjectiveTo assess the potential association between white blood cell BRCA1 promoter methylation and subsequent risk of incident TNBC and HGSOC.Design, setting, and participantsThis case-control study included women who were participating in the Women's Health Initiative study who had not received a diagnosis of either breast or ovarian cancer before study entrance. A total of 637 women developing incident TNBC and 511 women developing incident HGSOC were matched with cancer-free controls (1841 and 2982, respectively) in a nested case-control design. Cancers were confirmed after central medical record review. Blood samples, which were collected at entry, were analyzed for BRCA1 promoter methylation by massive parallel sequencing. The study was performed in the Mohn Cancer Research Laboratory (Bergen, Norway) between 2019 and 2022.Main outcomes and measuresAssociations between BRCA1 methylation and incident TNBC and incident HGSOC were analyzed by Cox proportional hazards regression.ResultsOf 2478 cases and controls in the TNBC group and 3493 cases and controls in the HGSOC group, respectively, 7 (0.3%) and 3 (0.1%) were American Indian or Alaska Native, 46 (1.9%) and 30 (0.9%) were Asian, 1 (0.04%) and 1 (0.03%) was Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander, 326 (13.2%) and 125 (3.6%) were Black or African, 56 (2.3%) and 116 (3.3%) were Hispanic, 2046 (82.6%) and 3257 (93.2%) were White, and 35 (1.4%) and 35 (1.0%) were multiracial. Median (range) age at entry was 62 (50-79) years, with a median interval to diagnosis of 9 (TNBC) and 10 (HGSOC) years. Methylated BRCA1 alleles were present in 194 controls (5.5%). Methylation was associated with risk of incident TNBC (12.4% methylated; HR, 2.35; 95% CI, 1.70-3.23; P < .001) and incident HGSOC (9.4% methylated; HR, 1.93; 95% CI, 1.36-2.73; P < .001). Restricting analyses to individuals with more than 5 years between sampling and cancer diagnosis yielded similar results (TNBC: HR, 2.52; 95% CI, 1.75-3.63; P < .001; HGSOC: HR, 1.82; 95% CI, 1.22-2.72; P = .003). Across individuals, methylation was not haplotype-specific, arguing against an underlying cis-acting factor. Within individuals, BRCA1 methylation was observed on the same allele, indicating clonal expansion from a single methylation event. There was no association found between BRCA1 methylation and germline pathogenic variant status.Conclusions and relevanceThe results of this case-control suggest that constitutional normal tissue BRCA1 promoter methylation is significantly associated with risk of incident TNBC and HGSOC, with potential implications for prediction of these cancers. These findings warrant further research to determine if constitutional methylation of tumor suppressor genes are pancancer risk factors.

Project description:Although ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynecologic malignancy in women, little is known about how the cancer initiates and metastasizes. In the last decade, new evidence has challenged the dogma that the ovary is the main source of this cancer. The fallopian tube has been proposed instead as the primary origin of high-grade serous ovarian cancer, the subtype causing 70% of ovarian cancer deaths. By conditionally deleting Dicer, an essential gene for microRNA synthesis, and Pten, a key negative regulator of the PI3K pathway, we show that high-grade serous carcinomas arise from the fallopian tube in mice. In these Dicer-Pten double-knockout mice, primary fallopian tube tumors spread to engulf the ovary and then aggressively metastasize throughout the abdominal cavity, causing ascites and killing 100% of the mice by 13 mo. Besides the clinical resemblance to human serous cancers, these fallopian tube cancers highly express genes that are known to be up-regulated in human serous ovarian cancers, also demonstrating molecular similarities. Although ovariectomized mice continue to develop high-grade serous cancers, removal of the fallopian tube at an early age prevents cancer formation--confirming the fallopian tube origin of the cancer. Intriguingly, the primary carcinomas are first observed in the stroma of the fallopian tube, suggesting that these epithelial cancers have a mesenchymal origin. Thus, this mouse model demonstrates a paradigm for the origin and initiation of high-grade serous ovarian carcinomas, the most common and deadliest ovarian cancer.

Project description:The dismally low survival rate of ovarian cancer patients diagnosed with high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC) emphasizes the lack of effective screening strategies. One major obstacle is the limited knowledge of the underlying mechanisms of HGSC pathogenesis at very early stages. Here, we present the first 10-month time-resolved serum metabolic profile of a triple mutant (TKO) HGSC mouse model, along with the spatial lipidome profile of its entire reproductive system. A high-coverage liquid chromatography mass spectrometry-based metabolomics approach was applied to longitudinally collected serum samples from both TKO (n = 15) and TKO control mice (n = 15), tracking metabolome and lipidome changes from premalignant stages to tumor initiation, early stages, and advanced stages until mouse death. Time-resolved analysis showed specific temporal trends for 17 lipid classes, amino acids, and TCA cycle metabolites, associated with HGSC progression. Spatial lipid distributions within the reproductive system were also mapped via ultrahigh-resolution matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry and compared with serum lipid profiles for various lipid classes. Altogether, our results show that the remodeling of lipid and fatty acid metabolism, amino acid biosynthesis, TCA cycle and ovarian steroidogenesis are critical components of HGSC onset and development. These metabolic alterations are accompanied by changes in energy metabolism, mitochondrial and peroxisomal function, redox homeostasis, and inflammatory response, collectively supporting tumorigenesis.
