- The aim of this review is to provide an overview of existing literature and current knowledge on fertility rates and reproductive outcomes after gestational trophoblastic disease. A systematic literature search was performed to retrieve all available studies on fertility rates and reproductive outcomes after hydatidiform mole pregnancy, low-risk gestational trophoblastic neoplasia, high- and ultra-high-risk gestational trophoblastic neoplasia, and the rare placental site trophoblastic tumor and epithelioid trophoblastic tumor forms of gestational trophoblastic neoplasia. The effects of single-agent chemotherapy, multi-agent including high-dose chemotherapy, and immunotherapy on fertility, pregnancy wish, and pregnancy outcomes were evaluated and summarized. After treatment for gestational trophoblastic neoplasia, most, but not all, women want to achieve another pregnancy. Age and extent of therapy determine if there is a risk of loss of fertility. Single-agent treatment does not affect fertility and subsequent pregnancy outcome. Miscarriage occurs more often in women who conceive within 6 months of follow-up after chemotherapy. Multi-agent chemotherapy hastens the natural menopause by three years and commonly induces a temporary amenorrhea, but in young women rarely causes permanent ovarian failure or infertility. Subsequent pregnancies have a high chance of ending with live healthy babies. In contrast, high-dose chemotherapy typically induces permanent amenorrhea, and no pregnancies have been reported after high-dose chemotherapy for gestational trophoblastic neoplasia. Immunotherapy is promising and may give better outcomes than multiple schedules of chemotherapy or even high-dose chemotherapy. The first pregnancy after immunotherapy has recently been described. Data on fertility-sparing treatment in placental site trophoblastic tumor and epithelioid trophoblastic tumor are still scarce, and this option should be offered with caution. In general, patients with gestational trophoblastic neoplasia may be reassured about their future fertility and pregnancy outcome. Detailed registration of high-risk gestational trophoblastic neoplasia is still indispensable to obtain more complete data to better inform patients in the future.

PFKFB3 Inhibition Sensitizes DNA Crosslinking Chemotherapies by Suppressing Fanconi Anemia Repair

- Replicative repair of interstrand crosslinks (ICL) generated by platinum chemotherapeutics is orchestrated by the Fanconi anemia (FA) repair pathway to ensure resolution of stalled replication forks and the maintenance of genomic integrity. Here, we identify novel regulation of FA repair by the cancer-associated glycolytic enzyme PFKFB3 that has functional consequences for replication-associated ICL repair and cancer cell survival. Inhibition of PFKFB3 displays a cancer-specific synergy with platinum compounds in blocking cell viability and restores sensitivity in treatment-resistant models. Notably, the synergies are associated with DNA-damage-induced chromatin association of PFKFB3 upon cancer transformation, which further increases upon platinum resistance. FA pathway activation triggers the PFKFB3 assembly into nuclear foci in an ATR- and FANCM-dependent manner. Blocking PFKFB3 activity disrupts the assembly of key FA repair factors and consequently prevents fork restart. This results in an incapacity to replicate cells to progress through S-phase, an accumulation of DNA damage in replicating cells, and fork collapse. We further validate PFKFB3-dependent regulation of FA repair in ex vivo cultures from cancer patients. Collectively, targeting PFKFB3 opens up therapeutic possibilities to improve the efficacy of ICL-inducing cancer treatments.

Co-evolution of matrisome and adaptive adhesion dynamics drives ovarian cancer chemoresistance

- Due to its dynamic nature, the evolution of cancer cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) crosstalk, critically affecting metastasis and treatment resistance, remains elusive. Our results show that platinum-chemotherapy itself enhances resistance by progressively changing the cancer cell-intrinsic adhesion signaling and cell-surrounding ECM. Examining ovarian high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC) transcriptome and histology, we describe the fibrotic ECM heterogeneity at primary tumors and distinct metastatic sites, prior and after chemotherapy. Using cell models from systematic ECM screen to collagen-based 2D and 3D cultures, we demonstrate that both specific ECM substrates and stiffness increase resistance to platinum-mediated, apoptosis-inducing DNA damage via FAK and β1 integrin-pMLC-YAP signaling. Among such substrates around metastatic HGSCs, COL6 was upregulated by chemotherapy and enhanced the resistance of relapse, but not treatment-naïve, HGSC organoids. These results identify matrix adhesion as an adaptive response, driving HGSC aggressiveness via co-evolving ECM composition and sensing, suggesting stromal and tumor strategies for ECM pathway targeting.

Differences in Administration of Methotrexate and Impact on Outcome in Low-Risk Gestational Trophoblastic Neoplasia

- Methotrexate (MTX) is frequently used as first-line treatment for low-risk gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN). Intravenous and intramuscular (im) routes of administration are the most common methods, although oral administration is used by some Scandinavian centers. The primary aim of this study was to assess the impact of form of administration (im/oral) on resistance to methotrexate (MTX-R) treatment in low-risk GTN. Secondary aims were time to hCG normalization, rates of toxicity-induced treatment switch, and rates of complete remission and recurrence. In total, 170 women treated at Karolinska University Hospital in Sweden and Aarhus University Hospital in Denmark between 1994 and 2018 were included, of whom 107 were given im and 63 oral MTX. MTX-R developed in 35% and 54% in the im and oral groups, respectively (p = 0.01). There was no difference in days to hCG normalization (42 vs. 41 days, p = 0.50) for MTX-sensitive women. Toxicity-induced treatment switch was only seen in the im group. Complete remission was obtained in 99.1% and 100% (p = 0.44), and recurrence rate within one year was 2.8% and 1.6% (p = 0.29). The form of administration of MTX had a significant impact on development of MTX-R and treatment-associated toxicity, but does not affect rates of complete remission, recurrence or survival.
