Centrosome-related Service for Ovarian Cancers
InquiryOvarian cancers are a group of diseases originate from ovaries or related areas of the fallopian tubes and the peritoneum. Centrosome is in charge of cell division, and the abnormality of centrosome causes chromosomal instability, which leads to aneuploidy, the biomarker of human cancers. CD BioSciences provides centrosome-related service with our advanced technology and experienced experts for meeting our global customer's demands in centrosome research and the therapeutic development of ovarian cancers.
Relevance between Centrosome & Ovarian Cancers
Centrosome abnormality (CA) is a common feature of most human cancer cell lines, which contains the numeric abnormality and structural abnormality, such as increase in centrosome number and size, accumulation of excess pericentriolar material and supernumerary centrioles. Aneuploidy is a hallmark of cancer tissue and is a consequence of chromosomal instability. The centrosome abnormality is the most prominent cause of chromosome instability (CIN) during mitosis, which results in aneuploidy.
Epithelial ovarian cancers (EOCs) are among the most deadly cancers in women worldwide, and EOCs are hard to treat due to late diagnosis and poor patient stratification. Unlike the frequently observed centrosome amplification in most tumor tissues, such as breast cancer and colon carcinoma. Healthy ovarian tissues contain one centrosome in each cell, while in the EOC cells, centrosome loss can be frequently observed. What's more, the frequency of centrosome abnormalities increases along with the tumor stage.
CAs in ovarian cancers (Morretton JP, et al., 2022)
The centrosome abnormality can be assessed by digital analysis of fluorescence confocal microscopy images. This method can greatly assist in studying centrosome abnormality during tumor progression, and rapidly screen for patients at high risk of clinically aggressive cancers. What's more, the evolution of centrosome abnormalities during cancer initiation and progression and the predominance of centrosome abnormality in the different tumor stages can also be detected with this method. Here is the list of the centrosome abnormality cases in normal ovarian tissues and tumor ovarian tissues.
CAs in Ovarian Tissues
Tissue | Cases | Cases with CAs (percentage) | |
---|---|---|---|
Normal ovary | 3 | 0 (0%) | |
Tumor | Stage I | 23 | 14 (60.9%) |
Stage II | 30 | 25 (83.3%) | |
Stage III | 10 | 10 (100%) |
