Tumor microenvironment study of ovarian granulosa cell tumors

Adult-type granulosa cell tumors (aGCT) are rare ovarian sex cord tumors with few 41 effective treatments for recurrent disease. The objective of this study was to compare global gene expression profiles and characterize the tumor microenvironment (TME) of primary and recurrent aGCTs in order to identify correlates of disease recurrence. Total RNA sequencing was performed on 24 pathologically confirmed, cryopreserved aGCT samples, including 8 primary and 16 recurrent tumors. A total of 31 differentially expressed genes were identified between primary and recurrent aGCT. TME analysis demonstrated significantly higher fractions of neutrophils and macrophages in recurrent tumors in conjunction with significantly lower fractions of cancer-associated fibroblasts and endothelial cells.

EGAD00001009108	RNA sequencing dataset for primary and recurrent ovarian granulosa cell tumors consists of 24 .bam files with aligned reads, including 8 primary and 16 recurrent tumors. Total RNA was extracted from cryopreserved tissue of adult-type granulosa cell tumor samples. Libraries were prepared from cDNA using the NuGEN Ovation Ultralow Library System V2 (San Carlos, CA). Paired-end bulk RNA sequencing was performed on the Illumina HiSeq 2000 platform. RNA sequencing reads were aligned to the hg19/GRCh37 reference human genome using the STAR software (version 2.6.0b) with default parameters.
