摘要

In this study, the influence of glycoproteomic changes, specifically MUC16, on NK cell-mediated immunotherapy response in ovarian cancer is explored. Analysis of glycoprotein data from the CPTAC database identified significant upregulation of MUC16 in ovarian cancer tissues, associated with tumor invasiveness and immune evasion. Experimental findings showed that MUC16 knockdown increased NK cell cytotoxicity, decreased invasiveness, and boosted NK cell activation, while MUC16 overexpression resulted in the opposite effects. In vivo experiments demonstrated that MUC16 knockdown suppressed tumor growth, enhanced NK cell infiltration, and bolstered NK cell activation, underscoring the potential of MUC16 as a target for novel immunotherapy approaches in ovarian cancer treatment.
