Trace amine-associated receptor 1 (TAAR1) is a Gαs- protein coupled receptor that plays an important role in the regulation of the immune system and neurotransmission in the CNS. In ovarian cancer cell lines, stimulation of TAAR1 via 3-iodothyronamine (T1AM) reduces cell viability and induces cell death and DNA damage. Aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic value of TAAR1 on overall survival of ovarian carcinoma patients and the correlation of TAAR1 expression with clinical parameters. Ovarian cancer tissue of n = 156 patients who were diagnosed with epithelial ovarian cancer (serous, n = 110 (high-grade, n = 80; low-grade, n = 24; unknown, n = 6); clear cell, n = 12; endometrioid, n = 21; mucinous, n = 13), and who underwent surgery at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University Hospital of the Ludwig-Maximilians University Munich, Germany between 1990 and 2002, were analyzed. The tissue was stained immunohistochemically with anti-TAAR1 and evaluated with the semiquantitative immunoreactive score (IRS). TAAR1 expression was correlated with grading, FIGO and TNM-classification, and analyzed via the Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient. Further statistical analysis was obtained using nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis rank-sum test and Mann-Whitney-U-test. This study shows that high TAAR1 expression is a positive prognosticator for overall survival in ovarian cancer patients and is significantly enhanced in low-grade serous carcinomas compared to high-grade serous carcinomas. The influence of TAAR1 as a positive prognosticator on overall survival indicates a potential prognostic relevance of signal transduction of thyroid hormone derivatives in epithelial ovarian cancer. Further studies are required to evaluate TAAR1 and its role in the development of ovarian cancer.

Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the most lethal gynecologic cancer (1). We performed discovery of genes associated with epithelial ovarian cancer and of the high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC) subtype, using published and public microarray data (2, 3) to compare global gene expression profiles of normal ovary or fallopian tube with that of primary tumors from women diagnosed with epithelial ovarian cancer or HGSC. We identified the gene encoding SLIT and NTRK-like family member 3, SLITRK3, as among the genes whose expression was most different in epithelial ovarian cancer as compared to the normal fallopian tube. SLITRK3 expression was significantly lower in high-grade serous ovarian tumors relative to normal fallopian tube. SLITRK3 expression correlated with progression-free survival in patients with ovarian cancer. These data indicate that expression of SLITRK3 is perturbed in epithelial ovarian cancers broadly and in ovarian cancers of the HGSC subtype. SLITRK3 may be relevant to pathways underlying ovarian cancer initiation (transformation) or progression.

We identified the gene encoding LSM4 homolog, U6 small nuclear RNA and mRNA degradation associated, LSM4, as among the genes whose expression was most different in epithelial ovarian cancer as compared to the normal fallopian tube. LSM4 expression was significantly higher in high-grade serous ovarian tumors relative to normal fallopian tube. LSM4 expression correlated with overall survival in patients with ovarian cancer. These data indicate that expression of LSM4 is perturbed in epithelial ovarian cancers broadly and in ovarian cancers of the HGSC subtype. LSM4 may be relevant to pathways underlying ovarian cancer initiation (transformation) or progression.

We identified the gene encoding sarcospan, SSPN, as among the genes whose expression was most different in epithelial ovarian cancer as compared to the normal fallopian tube. SSPN expression was significantly lower in high-grade serous ovarian tumors relative to normal fallopian tube. SSPN expression correlated with progression-free survival in patients with ovarian cancer.
