| 总结: | Ovarian cancer is the major cause of death out of all the gynecologic cancers. The prognosis of this cancer is quite poor since patients only seek treatment when it is at an advanced stage. Any early biomarkers for this cancer are still unknown. Dysregulation of mitochondrial dynamics with associated resistance to apoptosis plays a crucial role in several types of human carcinogenesis, including ovarian cancers. Previous studies showed that increased mitochondrial fission occurred in ovarian cancer cells. However, several pharmacological interventions and therapeutic strategies, which modify the mitochondrial dynamics through the promotion of mitochondrial fission and apoptosis of cancer cells, have been shown to potentially provide beneficial effects in ovarian cancer treatment. Therefore the aim of the present review is to summarize and discuss the current findings from in vitro, in vivo and clinical studies associated with the alteration of mitochondrial dynamics and ovarian cancers with and without interventions. Keywords: Mitochondrial dynamics, Mitochondrial fission, Mitochondrial fusion, Ovarian cancer
