Single-cell analysis of a high-grade serous ovarian cancer cell line reveals transcriptomic changes and cell subpopulations sensitive to epigenetic combination treatment

Abstract excerpt

Ovarian cancer (OC) is a lethal gynecological malignancy with a five-year survival rate of only 46%. Development of resistance to platinum-based chemotherapy is a common cause of high mortality rates among OC patients. Tumor and transcriptomic heterogeneity are drivers of platinum resistance in OC. Platinum-based chemotherapy enriches for ovarian cancer stem cells (OCSCs) that are chemoresistant and contribute to...
