Abstract:

Benign ovarian tumors and majority of epithelial ovarian cancers possess steroid receptors including estrogen receptors (ERs). However, the estrogen-ER signaling in ovarian carcinomas is not completely understood. Tumorigenesis is a multiple-step process involving dysregulated cell growth and metastasis. Tumor cells acquire the capacity of migration and invasion by temporal phenotypical and genotypical changes termed epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Considerable evidence implicates a mitogenic action of estrogen in early ovarian carcinogenesis. In contrast, its influence in the metasta

Abstract:

Ovarian cancer is the fifth leading cause of cancer death in women between the ages of 35 and 74. With 22 thousand new cases and 15 thousand deaths annually ovarian cancer is among the most deadly cancers with a death to incidence ratio of 68%. With 70% of cases High Grade Serous Ovarian Carcinoma (HGSOC) is the most common type of ovarian cancer and causes 90% of ovarian cancer deaths. 80% of patients have reoccurrence within five years and only 15-30% of patients with recurrent metastatic ovarian cancer respond to current therapies, chemotherapy and surgery. One reason for the high reoccurre

Abstract:

Metastatic dissemination of ovarian tumors involves the invasion of multi-cellular tumor cell clusters into the mesothelial cell lining of organs in the peritoneal cavity. We developed an in vitro assay that models this initial step of ovarian cancer metastasis to investigate the mechanisms of invasion. Pre-clustered ovarian cancer multicellular spheroids are incubated with GFP-expressing mesothelial monolayers and the extent of mesothelial invasion is monitored by time-lapse video microscopy.

Abstract:

Cancer research is evolving. Historically concerned with the mechanisms by which malignant cells circumvent cell death signaling and maintain unchecked proliferation, focus has shifted to the complex interactions between the tumor cell and the surrounding microenvironment. Ovarian cancer has one of the highest incidence-to-death ratios of all cancers, and is typically asymptomatic until the later stages, often resulting in metastasis prior to discovery. Naturally occurring phenotypes like lactation and child-bearing (parity) reduce ovarian cancer incidence, but the mechanisms are not understoo

Abstract:

Epithelial ovarian cancer frequently metastasizes to the omentum, a process that requires pro-angiogenic activation of local microvascular endothelial cells (ECs) by tumour-secreted factors. We have previously shown that ovarian cancer cells secrete factors, other than vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), with possible roles in metastatic angiogenesis including the lysosomal proteases cathepsin L (CathL) and cathepsin D (CathD), and insulin-like growth factor binding protein 7 (IGFBP7). However, the mechanisms by which these factors may contribute to omental endothelial angiogenic change

Abstract:

Ovarian cancer is the deadliest of all the gynecologic cancers and is known for its clinically occult and asymptomatic dissemination. Most ovarian malignancies are diagnosed in the late stages of the disease and the high rate of morbidity is thought to be due, in part, to the highly metastatic nature of ovarian carcinomas. Cancer metastasis relies on the ability of cells to migrate away from primary tumors and invade into target tissues. Though the processes are distinct, cancer cell invasion relies on the underlying migration machinery to invade target tissues. Cell migration requires the coo

In this dissertation, we developed cell stiffness as a biomarker in ovarian cancer for the purpose of grading metastatic potential. By measuring single cell stiffness with atomic force microscopy and quantifying in vitro invasiveness of healthy and cancerous ovarian cells, we demonstrated that cancerous ovarian cells have reduced stiffness compared to the healthy ones and invasive ovarian cancer cells are more deformable than noninvasive ovarian cancer cells. The difference in cell stiffness between two genetically similar cell lines was attributed to actin-mediated cytoskeletal remodeling as

Breast cancer type 1 susceptibility protein (BRCA1) has been established as an important tumour suppressor protein and its loss of function is associated with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer. An emerging body of work suggests that BRCA1 is involved in sporadic cases of breast and ovarian cancers and may also have a role in other cancers, indicating a more global role in tumourigenesis. BRCA1-mutated cancers can be early-onset and are characterised by being highly aggressive with a propensity to metastasize, thus from a clinical perspective there is a requirement to understand the molecula

Most women die of ovarian metastasis rather than the effects of the primary tumor.

These biomechanical forces, only recently identified as a hallmark of cancer, induce rapid signaling events in attached and aggregated cells, a process termed mechanotransduction.

The present study used isogenic pairs of low and high invasive ovarian cancer cell lines to demonstrate the downregulation of miRNA-138 and miRNA-708 in the highly invasive cells, and their functioning as an inhibitor of cell migration and invasion. An orthotopic xenograft mouse model further demonstrated that the expression of miRNA-138 inhibited ovarian cancer metastasis to other organs. Results indicated that miRNA-138 directly targ

碩士<br>淡江大學<br>化學學系碩士班<br>101<br>Flavonoids have been studied for their anti-tumor properties, including anti-proliferative, proapoptotic, anti-angiogenic and cell cycle arrest activities in several cancer cells. Her2 is amplified and/or overexpressed in about 30% of ovarian and breast cancers and is associated with metastasis and drug resistance. A series of novel flavones were used to explore their anticancer effects on cancer cells. We found a 5,7-Dihydroxy-3’,4’-Diaminoflavone, Cpd3, with significant anti-tumor activities in HER2-overexpressing cancer cells, including anti-proliferative, an

Abstract:

Trabalho Final do Mestrado Integrado em Medicina apresentado à Faculdade de Medicina<br>O carcinoma do ovário continua a ser uma neoplasia com elevadas taxas de mortalidade, apesar de o seu processo de metastização ser quase exclusivamente intra-abdominal. Este deve-se a alterações na dinâmica e interações intercelulares, mediadas por múltiplas moléculas de adesão e integrinas, entre as quais é considerada da maior importância a E-caderina. Durante muitos anos a sobreexpressão desta molécula foi considerada inversamente proporcional à capacidade de invasão do tumor e como sendo dotada de um pa

碩士<br>淡江大學<br>化學學系碩士班<br>99<br>Berberine, one of the effective anti-cancer components of Coptis Chinensis, is a type of isoquinoline alkaloid. It has been reported various anti-cancer effects in different human cancer cell lines. Other research reported that berberine inhibited migration and invasion via MAPK pathways of human tongue cancer cells. Here, we reported that berberine inhibits cell proliferation, migration, invasion and angiogenesis of human ovarian cancer cell lines. The effects were mediated through inhibiting EGFR and HER2/neu expression and their down-stream signalings such as
