Anti-Müllerian hormone - clinical use and future possibilities. (PubMed, Ceska Gynekol)
In oncology, it is used as a tumor marker for monitoring patients with granulosa tumors. In the future, however, it is also promising to use the knowledge of AMH function for the treatment of gynecological as well as other solid malignancies expressing a tissue-specific receptor for AMH.

Characterization of Cellular Senescence in a Mouse Model of Spontaneous Ovarian Endometrioma. (SRI 2023)
Increasing expression of Cdkn2a in control ovaries over time suggests a critical and yet unstudied role for senescence in folliculogenesis. The increasing expression of Cdkn2a in AKA ovaries suggests a potential role for senescence in endometriosis progression and, potentially, attenuation of the development of ovarian cancer. Primary granulosa cells offer an additional model to study these innovative results further.

SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling subunit Smarca4/BRG1 is essential for female fertility. (PubMed, Biol Reprod)
Interestingly, the evaluation of oocyte developmental competence by in vitro culture of retrieved two-cell embryos indicated that oocytes originating from the Brg1fl/fl;Amhr2-Cre mice did not reach the blastocyst stage and had higher rates of mitotic defects, including micronuclei. Together, these results indicate that BRG1 plays an important role in female fertility by regulating granulosa and oocyte functions during follicle growth and is needed for the acquisition of oocyte developmental competence.

Formulation of an ovarian cancer vaccine with the squalene-based AddaVax adjuvant inhibits the growth of murine epithelial ovarian carcinomas. (PubMed, Clin Exp Vaccine Res)
These results were compared favorably with results obtained using CFA as an adjuvant in the AMHR2-ED vaccine. Our data indicate that the AMHR2-ED vaccine formulated with AddaVax may be used in human clinical trials and thereby serve as a novel and effective way to control human EOC.

Functional profiles of Müllerian inhibiting substance/anti-Müllerian hormone (MIS/AMH) in primarily cultured endometrial cancer cells. (PubMed, J Cancer)
MIS/AMH inhibits the growth of MIS/AMH receptor-expressing endometrial cancer cells through regulation of autophagy, apoptosis, and cell cycle pathways, as well as inhibition of Wnt signaling pathways. These data suggest that MIS/AMH functions as a tumor suppressor and may be an effective therapeutic agent in endometrial cancer.

Uterine epithelial LIF receptors contribute to implantation chamber formation in blastocyst attachment. (PubMed, Endocrinology)
These results indicate that the epithelial LIFR-STAT3 pathway initiates the formation of implantation chambers, leading to complete blastocyst attachment, and that stromal STAT3 regulates blastocyst attachment without stromal LIFR control. Thus, uterine epithelial LIFR is critical to implantation chamber formation and blastocyst attachment.

Case report: The case of a 17 kg ovarian granulosa cell tumor in a Breton draft mare. (PubMed, J Equine Sci)
This is the first report showing the presence of AMH (2,210 ng/ml) in ascites fluid, and it also shows that laparoscopic ovariectomy might not be suitable for larger ovaries affected by a GCT. Ultrasonographic, endocrine, and histopathological analyses were helpful for making a definitive diagnosis of GCT in this mare.

The Expression of Anti-Müllerian Hormone Type II Receptor (AMHRII) in Non-Gynecological Solid Tumors Offers Potential for Broad Therapeutic Intervention in Cancer. (PubMed, Biology (Basel))
Overall, our results suggest that this embryonic receptor could be a suitable target for treating AMHRII-expressing tumors with an anti-AMHRII selective agent such as murlentamab, also named 3C23K or GM102. This potential therapeutic intervention was confirmed in vivo by showing antitumor activity of murlentamab against AMHRII-expressing colorectal cancer and hepatocarcinoma Patient-Derived tumor Xenografts (PDX) models.

[VIRTUAL] A novel uterine leiomyosarcoma mouse model (AACR 2021)
Previous mouse model with homozygous deletion of p53 gene and/or BRCA1 with Amhr2-Cre only had uterine leiomyosarcoma developed in approximately 50% of mice around 13 months without metastasis.RNAseq and RPPA functional data of the uterine leiomyosarcomas from our novel mouse models are being generated for comparison with known genomic profiles of human uterine leiomyosarcomas. The RNAseq and RPPA functional proteomic data from comparing uterine tissues from homozygous and heterozygous p53 mutated mice provide insight in the understanding the development of uterine leiomyosarcoma and for future clinical trials.

Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) autocrine signaling promotes survival and proliferation of ovarian cancer cells. (PubMed, Sci Rep)
Furthermore, B10 reduced COV434-MISRII tumor growth in vivo and significantly enhanced the median survival time compared with vehicle (69 vs 60 days; p = 0.0173). Our data provide evidence for a novel pro-survival autocrine role of AMH in the context of ovarian cancer, which was targeted therapeutically using an anti-AMH antibody to successfully repress tumor growth.

Genetic and histopathological analysis of transverse testicular ectopia without persistent Müllerian duct syndrome: two case reports. (PubMed, J Med Case Rep)
Because UTF1, a specific marker of spermatogonial stem cell activity, was expressed in both the affected and unaffected sides in the testicular tissues of two patients, the risk of malignancy may be high in these patients. Although the etiology of TTE without PMDS remains unclear, our variant analysis results were consistent with previous reports, and variants in the AMH gene (rs10407022) may contribute to the specific phenotype of TTE without PMDS.

Differences in gynecologic tumor development in Amhr2-Cre mice with KRAS or KRAS mutations. (PubMed, Sci Rep)
These mouse models will be useful for studying the differences in signaling pathways driven by Kras or Kras mutations to aid development of targeted therapies for specific KRAS mutant variants. Our leiomyoma model driven by the Kras mutation will also be useful in deciphering the malignant progression from leiomyoma to leiomyosarcoma.

Immunotherapy of ovarian cancer with a monoclonal antibody specific for the extracellular domain of anti-Müllerian hormone receptor II. (PubMed, Oncotarget)
Most importantly, the 4D12G1 mAb significantly inhibits growth of primary human EOCs in patient-derived xenografts (PDXs) by inducing direct apoptosis of EOC tumors. Our results support the view that a humanized 4D12G1 mAb may be a much needed and effective reagent for passive immunotherapy of human EOC.
