Abstract

Ovarian cancer (OC) is a fatal gynecological malignancy with a poor prognosis in which mitochondria-related genes are involved deeply. In this study, we aim to screen mitochondria-related genes that play a role in OC prognosis and investigate its effects. Through single-cell sequencing technology and bioinformatics analysis, including TCGA ovarian cancer data analysis, gene expression signature analysis (GES), immune infiltration analysis, Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis, Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA), and Principal Component Analysis (PCA), our findings revealed that CYP24A1 regulated macrophage polarization through vitamin D (VD) degradation and served as a target gene for the second malignant subtype of OC through bioinformatics analyses. For further validation, the expression and function of CYP24A1 in OC cells was investigated. And the expression of CYP24A1 was much higher in carcinoma than in paracancerous tissue, whereas the VD content decreased in the OC cell lines with CYP24A1 overexpression. Moreover, macrophages were polarized towards M1 after the intervention of VD-treated OC cell lines and inhibited the malignant phenotypes of OC. However, the effect could be reversed by overexpressing CYP24A1, resulting in the polarization of M2 macrophages, thereby promoting tumor progression, as verified by constructing xenograft models in vitro. In conclusion, our findings suggested that CYP24A1 induced M2 macrophage polarization through interaction with VD, thus promoting the malignant progression of OC.

摘要

卵巢癌(OC)是一种致命的妇科恶性肿瘤,预后不良,其中涉及到线粒体相关基因。在这项研究中,我们旨在筛选与 OC 预后相关并研究其作用的线粒体相关基因。通过单细胞测序技术和生物信息学分析,包括 TCGA 卵巢癌数据分析、基因表达特征分析(GES)、免疫浸润分析、GO 富集分析、GSEA 和 PCA,我们的研究结果表明 CYP24A1 通过维生素 D(VD)降解调节巨噬细胞极化,并通过生物信息学分析作为 OC 第二恶性亚型的靶基因。为了进一步验证,我们研究了 CYP24A1 在 OC 细胞中的表达和功能。CYP24A1 在癌组织中的表达明显高于癌旁组织,而在 CYP24A1 过表达的 OC 细胞系中,VD 含量降低。此外,用 VD 处理的 OC 细胞系干预后,巨噬细胞向 M1 极化,并抑制 OC 的恶性表型。然而,通过过表达 CYP24A1 可以逆转这种作用,导致 M2 巨噬细胞极化,从而促进肿瘤进展,这在体外构建的异种移植模型中得到了验证。总之,我们的研究结果表明,CYP24A1 通过与 VD 的相互作用诱导 M2 巨噬细胞极化,从而促进 OC 的恶性进展。
