Abstract | The metastatic ovarian cancer microenvironment is characterized by an intricate interaction network between cancer cells and host cells. This complex heterotypic cancer-host cell crosstalk results in an environment that promotes cancer cell metastasis and treatment resistance, leading to poor patient prognosis and survival. In this review, we focus on two host cell types found in the ovarian cancer microenvironment: mesothelial cells and tumor-associated macrophages. Mesothelial cells make up the protective lining of organs in the abdominal cavity. Cancer cells attach and invade through the mesothelial monolayer to form metastatic lesions. Crosstalk between mesothelial and cancer cells can contribute to metastatic progression and chemotherapy resistance. Tumor-associated macrophages are the most abundant immune cell type in the ovarian cancer microenvironment with heterogeneous subpopulations exhibiting protumor or antitumor functions. Macrophage reprogramming toward a protumor or antitumor state can be influenced by chemotherapy and communication with cancer cells, resulting in cancer cell invasion and treatment resistance. A better understanding of cancer-mesothelial and cancer-macrophage crosstalk will uncover biomarkers of metastatic progression and therapeutic targets to restore chemotherapy sensitivity. |
