Although research on the effects of comorbidities coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients is increasing, risk cancer history has not been evaluated for mortality with COVID-19.In this retrospective study, we included 3232 pathogen-confirmed COVID-19 who were hospitalized between January 18th and March 27th, 2020, at Tongji Hospital in Wuhan, China. Propensity score matching was used to minimize selection bias.In total, 2665 complete clinical outcomes analyzed. The impacts age, sex,...

Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), especially CD8+ TILs, represent a favorable prognostic factor in high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) and other tumor lineages. Here, we analyze the spatial heterogeneity of different TIL subtypes HGSOC. We integrated RNA sequencing, whole-genome bulk T cell receptor (TCR) as well single-cell RNA/TCR sequencing to investigate characteristics differential composition TILs across HGSOC sites. Two immune "cold" patterns are identified: (1) lesions with...

Cervical cancer (CC) that is caused by high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) remains a significant public health problem worldwide. HPV integration sites can be silent or actively transcribed, leading to the production of viral-host fusion transcripts. Herein, we demonstrate only productive were nonrandomly distributed across both viral and host genomes, suggesting are under selection likely contribute CC pathophysiology. Furthermore, using large-scale, multi-omics (clinical, genomic,...

The characteristics of COVID-19 patients with persistent SARS-CoV-2 infection are not yet well described. Here, we compare the clinical and molecular features long duration viral shedding (LDs) those from short (SDs), healthy donors (HDs). We find that several cytokines chemokines, such as interleukin (IL)-2, tumor necrosis factor (TNF) lymphotoxin α (LT-α) present at lower levels in LDs than SDs. Single-cell RNA sequencing shows natural killer (NK) cells CD14+ monocytes reduced, while...

Targeted therapies represent attractive combination partners with immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) to increase the population of patients who benefit or interdict emergence resistance. We demonstrate that targeting WEE1 up-regulates signaling through double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) viral defense pathway subsequent responsiveness even in cGAS/STING-deficient tumors, which is a typical phenotype across multiple cancer types. inhibition increases endogenous retroviral elements (ERVs) expression by...

Abstract Mutant KRAS tumors are associated with poor outcomes, at least in part, due to decreased therapeutic sensitivity. Here, we show that mutations resistance monotherapy and combination therapy PARP inhibitors (PARPi) immune checkpoint blockade anti–PD-L1 antibodies. In mutant tumors, inhibition of signaling MEK (MEKi) triggered amplified PARPi-induced DNA damage, cytosolic double-stranded accumulation, STING pathway activation, CD8+ T-cell recruitment. Moreover, MEKi myeloid-derived...

Targeting the G2/M checkpoint mediator WEE1 has been explored as a novel treatment strategy in ovarian cancer, but mechanisms underlying its efficacy and resistance remains to be understood. Here, it is demonstrated that inhibitor AZD1775 induces endoplasmic reticulum stress activates protein kinase RNA-like ER (PERK) inositol-required enzyme 1α (IRE1α) branches of unfolded response (UPR) TP53 mutant (mtTP53) cancer models. This facilitated through NF-κB mediated senescence-associated...

Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy's role in ovarian cancer remains controversial, hindered by limited understanding of hyperthermia-induced tumor cellular changes. This limits developing potent combinatory strategies anchored hyperthermic therapy (HIPET). Here, we perform a comprehensive multi-omics study on cells under hyperthermia, unveiling distinct molecular panorama, primarily characterized rapid protein phosphorylation Based the phospho-signature, pinpoint CDK1 kinase is...

The benefit of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in ovarian cancer remains controversial, hindering the development rational combination therapies based on hyperthermia (HT). This study reports preliminary results neoadjuvant HIPEC (NHIPEC) trial (ChiCTR2000038173), demonstrating enhanced tumor response high-grade serous with NHIPEC. Through single-cell RNA sequencing analysis, we identified both homogeneous and heterogeneous cellular responses to HT within microenvironment....

Background Ovarian cancer (OC) is one of the most lethal gynecologic cancers. Growing evidence has proven that CDK4/6 plays a key role in tumor immunity and prognosis many However, expression function OC remain unclear. Therefore, we aimed to explore influence OC, especially on immunity. Methods We analyzed using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) Genotype Tissue (GTEx) data. Subsequently, used cytoHubba plug-in Cytoscape software starBase identify noncoding RNAs...

Vulvovaginal atrophy (VVA) is a common menopause-related symptom affecting more than 50% of midlife and older women cancer patients whose ovarian function are lost or damaged. Regardless estrogen deficiency, whether other factors such as the gut microbiota play role in VVA have not been thoroughly investigated. To this end, we performed ovariectomy on 12-weeks' old mice follow-up at 4 weeks after ovariectomy, observed atrophied vagina an altered ovariectomized mice.. We further fecal...

Ovarian cancer (OC) ranks first among gynecologic malignancies in terms of mortality. The benefits poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors appear to be limited OC with BRCA mutations. Concurrent administration WEE1 (eg, adavosertib (Ada)) and PARP olaparib (Ola)) effectively suppress ovarian tumor growth regardless mutation status, but is poorly tolerated. Henceforth, we aimed seek a strategy reduce the toxic effects this combination by taking advantage mesoporous polydopamine (MPDA)...
