Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the most lethal gynecologic cancer (1). We performed discovery of genes associated with epithelial ovarian cancer and of the high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC) subtype, using published microarray data (2, 3) to compare global gene expression profiles of normal ovary or fallopian tube with that of primary tumors from women diagnosed with epithelial ovarian cancer or HGSC. We identified the gene encoding endothelin converting enzyme 2, ECE2, as among the genes whose expression was most different in epithelial ovarian cancer as compared to the normal fallopian tube. ECE2 expression was significantly higher in high-grade serous ovarian tumors relative to normal fallopian tube. ECE2 expression correlated with overall survival in patients with ovarian cancer. These data indicate that expression of ECE2 is perturbed in epithelial ovarian cancers broadly and in ovarian cancers of the HGSC subtype. ECE2 may be relevant to pathways underlying ovarian cancer initiation (transformation) or progression.

Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the most lethal gynecologic cancer (1). We performed discovery of genes associated with epithelial ovarian cancer and of the high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC) subtype, using published and public microarray data (2, 3) to compare global gene expression profiles of normal ovary or fallopian tube with that of primary tumors from women diagnosed with epithelial ovarian cancer or HGSC. We identified the gene encoding SLIT and NTRK-like family member 3, SLITRK3, as among the genes whose expression was most different in epithelial ovarian cancer as compared to the normal fallopian tube. SLITRK3 expression was significantly lower in high-grade serous ovarian tumors relative to normal fallopian tube. SLITRK3 expression correlated with progression-free survival in patients with ovarian cancer. These data indicate that expression of SLITRK3 is perturbed in epithelial ovarian cancers broadly and in ovarian cancers of the HGSC subtype. SLITRK3 may be relevant to pathways underlying ovarian cancer initiation (transformation) or progression.

SSPN expression was significantly lower in high-grade serous ovarian tumors relative to normal fallopian tube.

We identified the gene encoding phosphodiesterase 5A, PDE5A, as among the genes whose expression was most different in epithelial ovarian cancer as compared to the normal fallopian tube. PDE5A expression was significantly lower in high-grade serous ovarian tumors relative to normal fallopian tube. PDE5A expression correlated with progression-free survival in patients with p53 mutant ovarian cancer. These data indicate that expression of PDE5A is perturbed in epithelial ovarian cancers broadly and in ovarian cancers of the HGSC subtype. PDE5A may be relevant to pathways underlying ovarian cancer initiation (transformation) or progression.
