Project description:Ovarian high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC) accounts for the majority of deaths caused by epithelial ovarian cancer. The precise molecular changes attributable for the pathogenesis of HGSC are still largely unknown. TRAF4 has been identified to be up-regulated in some cancers. However, the association between TRAF4 and the malignancy of HGSC has not been elucidated before. In this study, we aim to explore the prognostic value and function of TRAF4 in HGSC. The results of immunohistochemistry in 174 cases of HGSC showed that high expression of TRAF4 was significantly associated with a shorter overall survival (p=0.005) and recurrence-free survival (p=0.003) in HGSC. Knock-down of TRAF4 inhibited the malignancy of ovarian cancer cells, and over-expression of TRAF4 increased cell malignancy both in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, mechanism studies demonstrated that TRAF4 promoted cell malignancy by activating YAP pathway in HGSC. In conclusion, TRAF4 could be a prognostic biomarker for HGSC and increase HGSC cell malignancy by activating YAP pathway, which may serve as a potential therapeutic target for HGSC.

Project description:Ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynecologic cancer. High-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC) is the most common histologic subtype, accounting for three quarters of ovarian cancer. To clarify the changes of gene expression in serous ovarian cancer, we performed lncRNA and mRNA microarrays to identify differentially expressed lncRNAs and mRNAs in High-grade and Low-grade serous ovarian carcinoma compared with Normal fallopian tube.

Project description:Low-grade ovarian serous carcinomas are believed to arise via an adenoma-serous borderline tumor-serous carcinoma sequence. In this study, we found that advanced-stage, low-grade ovarian serous carcinomas both with and without adjacent serous borderline tumor shared similar regions of loss of heterozygosity. We then analyzed 91 ovarian tumor samples for mutations in TP53, BRAF, and KRAS. TP53 mutations were not detected in any serous borderline tumors (n = 30) or low-grade serous carcinomas (n = 43) but were found in 73% of high-grade serous carcinomas (n = 18). BRAF (n = 9) or KRAS (n = 5) mutation was detected in 47% of serous borderline tumors, but among the low-grade serous carcinomas (39 stage III, 2 stage II, and 2 stage I), only one (2%) had a BRAF mutation and eight (19%) had a KRAS mutation. The low frequency of BRAF mutations in advanced-stage, low-grade serous carcinomas, which contrasts with previous findings, suggests that aggressive, low-grade serous carcinomas are more likely derived from serous borderline tumors without BRAF mutation. In addition, advanced-stage, low-grade carcinoma patients with BRAF or KRAS mutation have a better apparent clinical outcome. However, further investigation is needed.

Project description:Low-grade serous ovarian carcinomas are typically Ras-pathway mutated, TP53 wild-type, have limited chromosomal aberration, and are frequently associated with borderline tumors. By contrast, high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma lack Ras-pathway mutations, are invariably TP53 mutated, show widespread genomic change, and are commonly BRCA-pathway disrupted. We sought to identify differentially expressed genes between co-existing borderline and invasive components of serous carcinoma.
