Worldwide, the number of new ovarian cancer cases approaches 300,000 with more than 180,000 deaths every year. The low survival-rate reflects the limitations of current therapies and highlights the importance of identifying new therapeutic targets. Despite significant recent efforts to identify novel vulnerabilities in ovarian cancer, none have led to effective durable therapies with improvement in overall survival. PAX8, a lineage-transcription factor, whose expression is a major molecular feature of ovarian carcinomas, represents a novel therapeutic target. Herein, we have identified SOX17 as a bona fide PAX8-interacting partner and elucidated the impact of this interaction on the development of ovarian cancer. Importantly, we found that PAX8 and SOX17 regulate tumor angiogenesis in vitro and in vivo. The role of PAX8 and SOX17 in the regulation of angiogenesis reveals a novel function for these factors in regulating the tumor microenvironment and highlight this pathway as a viable therapeutic target.
