Mutagenic, surviving and tumorigenic effects of follicular fluid in the context of p53 loss: initiation of fimbria carcinogenesis
10 Sept 2015
Abstract excerpt
Ovulation is the strongest risk factor for ovarian high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC) that largely originates from the fallopian tube fimbriae and always carries loss-of-function mutations of TP53 in both early and late lesions. Mature ovarian follicle contains high level of reactive oxygen species (ROS). When released from ovulation, follicular fluid (FF) bathes the fimbriae and may lead to DNA double-strand...
