Application of Next-Generation Sequencing to Analysis of TGFβ/SMAD4 Targets in Ovarian Cancer

TL;DR: The utility of next-generation sequencing technology to identify genome-wide SMAD4 target genes in epithelial ovarian cancer and link aberrant TGFβ/SMAD signaling to ovarian tumorigenesis is highlighted.

Targeting Ovarian Cancer Stem Cells by Dual Inhibition of the Long Noncoding RNA HOTAIR and Lysine Methyltransferase EZH2

TL;DR: In this article , the authors used paired CRISPR guide RNA design to investigate the function of HOXC transcript antisense RNA (HOTAIR) and showed that loss of HOTAIR function re-sensitized cancer cells to platinum treatment and decreased the population of cancer stem cells.

HSF1 excludes CD8+ T cells from breast tumors via suppression of CCL5

TL;DR: In this article , the authors showed a model whereby HSF1 suppresses CCL5 leading to reduced CD8+ T cells in breast tumors that prevented immune-mediated destruction.

Chapter 3 – Epigenetics

TL;DR: The OC epigenome is implicated in tumor progression, development of chemotherapy resistance, persistence, and survival of cancer stem cells, and will become an important new therapeutic cancer target as the machinery governing epigenetic changes is being deciphered.
