Ovarian cancer ascites proteomic profile reflects metabolic changes during disease progression
Ovarian cancer (OC) patients develop ascites, an accumulation of ascitic fluid in the peritoneal cavity anda sign of tumour dissemination within the peritoneal cavity. This body fluid is under-researched, mainly regarding the ascites formed during tumour progression that have no diagnostic value and, therefore, are discarded. We performed a discovery proteomics study to identify new biomarkers in the ascites supernatant of OC patients. In this preliminary study, we analyzed a small amount of OC ascites to highlight the importance of not discarding such biological material during treatment, which could be valuable for OC management. Our findings reveal that OC malignant ascitic fluid (MAF) displays a proliferative environment that promotes the growth of OC cells that shift the metabolic pathway using alternative sources of nutrients, such as the cholesterol pathway. Also, OC ascites drained from patients during treatment showed an immunosuppressive environment, with up-regulation of proteins from the signaling pathways of IL-4 and IL-13 and down-regulation from the MHC-II. This preliminary study pinpointed a new protein (Transmembrane Protein 132A) in the OC context that deserves to be better explored in a more extensive cohort of patients’ samples. The proteomic profile of MAF from OC patients provides a unique insight into the metabolic kinetics of cancer cells during disease progression, and this information can be used to develop more effective treatment strategies.
期刊介绍:
Open access, online only, peer-reviewed international journal in the Life Sciences, established in 2014 Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports (BB Reports) publishes original research in all aspects of Biochemistry, Biophysics and related areas like Molecular and Cell Biology. BB Reports welcomes solid though more preliminary, descriptive and small scale results if they have the potential to stimulate and/or contribute to future research, leading to new insights or hypothesis. Primary criteria for acceptance is that the work is original, scientifically and technically sound and provides valuable knowledge to life sciences research. We strongly believe all results deserve to be published and documented for the advancement of science. BB Reports specifically appreciates receiving reports on: Negative results, Replication studies, Reanalysis of previous datasets.
