Abstract

Graphic abstract

It is still a big puzzle how ovarian cancer cells and the tumor microenvironment (TME) attract lymphocytes infiltration for facilitating metastasis, a leading cause of death from gynecological malignancies. Using genome-wide LncRNA microarray assay, here we report that a LncRNA associated with ovarian cancer metastasis (LncOVM) is highly correlated with poor prognosis and survival. LncOVM interacts with and stabilizes PPIP5K2 by suppressing ubiquitinated degradation to promote complement C5 secretion from ovarian cancer cells. The TME-enriched complement C5 attracts myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) infiltration in TME to facilitate metastasis. Knockdown of LncOVM or PPIP5K2 inhibits tumor progression in xenograft models. Application of C5aR antibody or inhibitor (CCX168) inhibits MDSC recruitment and restores the suppression of tumorigenesis and metastasis in vivo. Our study reveals that suppression of ovarian cancer metastasis can be achieved by targeting MDSC infiltration in TME through disrupting LncOVM-PPIP5K2-complement axis, providing an option for treating ovarian cancer patients.
