Small extracellular vesicles from malignant ascites of patients with advanced ovarian cancer provide insights into the dynamics of the extracellular matrix
The exact role of malignant ascites in the development of intraperitoneal metastases remains unclear, and the mechanisms by which extracellular vesicles (EVs) promote tumor progression in the pre‐metastatic niche have not been fully discovered. In this study, we characterized ascites from high‐grade...

The exact role of malignant ascites in the development of intraperitoneal metastases remains unclear, and the mechanisms by which extracellular vesicles (EVs) promote tumor progression in the pre‐metastatic niche have not been fully discovered. In this study, we characterized ascites from high‐grade epithelial ovarian cancer patients. Small‐EVs (30–150 nm) were isolated from two sources—the bulk ascites and the ascitic fluid‐derived tumor cell cultures—and assessed with a combination of imaging, proteomic profiling, and protein expression analyses. In addition, Gene Ontology and pathway analysis were performed using different databases and bioinformatic tools. The results proved that the small‐EVs derived from the two sources exhibited significantly different stiffness and size distributions. The bulk ascitic fluid‐derived small‐EVs were predominantly involved in the complement and coagulation cascade. Small‐EVs derived from ascites cell cultures contained a robust proteomic profile of extracellular matrix remodeling regulators, and we observed an increase in transforming growth factor‐β‐I (TGFβI), plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI‐1), and fibronectin expression after neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
