AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Current treatments for malignant ascites in ovarian cancer fail to address the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms and often carry risks of infection and metabolic disorders, limiting the availability of targeted therapies.

Method used

By targeting the sTREM2 axis, substances that block sTREM2, such as small interfering RNA and scFv antibodies, can be developed to inhibit the expression or activity of sTREM2 or its related proteins, thereby reducing the formation of malignant ascites in ovarian cancer.

Benefits of technology

It significantly reduces ascites volume in ovarian cancer, lowers tumor burden, reduces vascular leakage, provides prognostic biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets, avoids the systemic effects of VEGF inhibitors, and is both safe and precise.

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of cancer treatment, and discloses an application of an sTREM2-NCL-AKT / eNOS axis in the vascular permeability of ovarian cancer and the formation of malignant ascites. The invention proves that the level of the sTREM2 is increased in ascites of an ovarian cancer patient, discloses the effect of the sTREM2 in promoting vascular permeability and driving ascites formation, and puts forward that the sTREM2 has double values of a prognosis biomarker and a potential treatment target. The discovery lays a foundation for developing accurate treatment for ovarian cancer and malignant ascites. In mechanism, the sTREM2 activates an AKT / eNOS signal channel through interaction with a cell surface nucleolin (NCL) protein, so that the integrity of an endothelial barrier is damaged. Targeting or blocking sTREM2 effectively mitigates vascular leakage and ascites production. According to the discovery, the sTREM2 is determined as a core driving factor of ascites pathogenesis, and the potential of the sTREM2 as an ovarian cancer treatment target is highlighted.
