Engineering Ovarian Cancer Cells for Self-destruction

Aided by in-house scientists and advanced technology platforms, Creative Biolabs has a lot of experience in engineering ovarian cancer cells for self-destruction purposes to speed up clients' project development.

Background of Ovarian Cancer

Ovarian cancer (OvCa) has a high mortality rate and is one of the common causes of cancer death in women. Many patients are diagnosed at a later stage (III and IV) as the absence of typical symptoms and effective early diagnostic strategy, while at that time, treatment options were pretty limited. In addition, the recurrence rate of patients who have recovered from ovarian cancer is also relatively high, generally 70-80% of patients relapse within 2-5 years. Therefore, there is a need to develop more strategies to support research in the treatment of ovarian cancer.

Regulation of Immune Cells in the Ovarian Cancer TME via Cytokines

In recent years, many studies have found that ovarian cancer cells have complex interactions with immune cells in the nearby tumor microenvironment. The reciprocal signaling can alter immune responses and regulate disease progression.

At the same time, there is growing evidence that immune cells reprogram their environment by interacting with cytokines such as interleukin, chemokines, and growth factors. In ovarian cancer TME, cytokine signaling components consist of interleukins, chemokines, and STATs. Which play essential roles in immune cell recruitment in the TME and thus influence clinical outcomes in Ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer cells and Immune cells interact by cytokines to form a comprehensive network at the tumor site, responsible for the overall progression of the tumor.

Engineering Ovarian Cancer Cells for Self-destruction

Creative Biolabs has developed a new strategy for the Ovarian Cancer immunotherapy study, providing related services whose purpose is to engineer ovarian cancer cells for self-destruction. It works like exploiting cancer cells to aid in their own destruction, which uses different means to transfect cytokines into cancer cells, and activates the immune system to destroy cancer cells.

The Potential of Strategy:

-- Local immune activation, with a more robust and specific immune response to ovarian cancer cells.

-- Effective avoidance of common side effects of immune stimulants, such as immunotoxicity and even death.

-- Leading to long immunological memory.
