Characteristics of Selected Adipokines in Ascites and Blood of Ovarian Cancer Patients

Abstract: Ovarian cancer is one of the most common malignancies among women worldwide. The course of the disease is often latent and asymptomatic in the early stages, but as it develops, metastasis occurs, accompanied by accumulation of ascites in the peritoneal cavity. The ascites fluid constitutes a specific microenvironment influencing the processes of carcinogenesis. In ascites, signaling is mediated by various cytokines that control tumor cell proliferation, progression, metastasis, and chemoresistance. Adipokines,… Show more

“…19 IL-8, otherwise called CXCL8, is a critical cytokine that positively regulates neutrophil chemotaxis and inflammation. 20,21 It is secreted by numerous cells, namely, neutrophils, monocytes, endothelial cells and tumour cells. Emerging evidences suggested that the circulating IL-8 levels in tumour patients is strongly associated with worse patient outcome and chemoresistance.…”

“…In addition to adipocytes, there are also stromal vascular fraction, adipose-derived stem cells, preadipocytes, macrophages, lymphocytes, eosinophils, mast cells, fibroblasts, and nerve cells [ 27 , 30 , 31 ]. There are four types of AT differentiated by histological structure and function: white adipose tissue (WAT), brown adipose tissue (BAT), beige adipose tissue, and pink adipose tissue [ 27 , 32 ]. WAT, one of the largest organs, is the main energy store of the organism, which captures and accumulates lipids [ 33 ].…”

“…Thus, it led to an extra effect on tissue invasion [38]. On the other hand, another pro-inflammatory cytokine is IL-8, which has numerous activities such as the migration of neutrophils, monocytes, tumor cell proliferation, and metastasis [32,39]. Additionally, it is known as an important cytokine involved in the angiogenesis process [40].…”
