    Rab25 induced <t>ADAMTS5</t> expression in OC cells. (A) Schematic, cell lysate (CL) and conditioned media (CM) harvesting. A2780‐DNA3 and A2780‐Rab25 cells were plated on plastic (PL, N = 3 independent experiments) or telomerase‐immortalised fibroblasts (TIF) cell‐derived matrix (CDM, N = 4 independent experiments), cell lysates and concentrated conditioned media were extracted, protein levels of ADAMTS5 in CL and CM, and GAPDH in CL were measured by Western Blotting. Membranes were imaged with a Licor Odyssey Sa system, and the band intensity was quantified by image studio lite software. Data are presented as mean ± SEM. * P = 0.0286, Mann–Whitney test. (B) Schematic of the experimental plan. (C, D) A2780‐DNA3 and A2780‐Rab25 cells were seeded on plastic (C) or TIF‐CDM (D) and the mRNA was extracted and quantified by qPCR.

    ADAMTS5 expression correlated with poor prognosis of OC patients. (A–C) 655 ovarian cancer patients were stratified into low and high ADAMTS5 expression. The Kaplan–Meier analysis compared (A) overall survival (OS), (B) progression‐free survival (PFS) and (C) palliative performance scale (PPS) of OC patients with tumours expressing high ADAMTS5 levels (red) with those expressing low ADAMTS5 levels (black).

    Working model. Upregulated Rab25 induced ADAMTS5 expression through an NF‐κB‐dependent signalling pathway in OC cells. Secreted ADAMTS5 promoted OC cell migration and invasion in a proteolytic activity‐related manner. Rab25 could also be involved in controlling the crosstalk between OC cells and CAFs in the TME.

    ADAMTS5 inhibition did not affect CAF spheroid 3D monoculture invasion nor cell proliferation in 3D. (A, C) Experimental timeline. (B) Spheroids generated with Cell tracker™ Red CMTPX labelled CAFs were embedded in 3 mg·mL −1 Geltrex, 3 mg·mL −1 collagen I, and 25 μg·mL −1 fibronectin in the presence of DMSO control or 10 μ m ADAMTS5 inhibitor (TS5 i) and imaged live with a Nikon A1 confocal microscope up to day 8. Scale bar, 200 μm. Spheroid invasion area was quantified with imagej and normalized to DMSO day 4. Data are presented as box and whisker plots (Min to Max, + represents the mean) from N = 3 independent experiments. (D) Spheroids generated with OVCAR3‐GFP cells (green) and non‐labelled CAFs (2 : 1 ratio) were embedded in 3 mg·mL −1 Geltrex, 3 mg·mL −1 collagen I, and 25 μg·mL −1 fibronectin and cultured in the presence of DMSO or 10 μ m ADAMTS5 inhibitor (TS5 i). EdU was added at day 6, spheroids were fixed on day 8, stained with EdU detection reagent (magenta) and Hoechst 33342 (blue) and imaged with a Nikon A1 confocal microscope. Scale bar, 200 μm. The percentage of EdU positive cells was calculated against Hoechst or GFP. Data are presented as box and whisker plots (Min to Max, + represents the mean) from N = 3 independent experiments.

    ADAMTS5 expression correlated with poor prognosis of OC patients. (A–C) 655 ovarian cancer patients were stratified into low and high ADAMTS5 expression. The Kaplan–Meier analysis compared (A) overall survival (OS), (B) progression‐free survival (PFS) and (C) palliative performance scale (PPS) of OC patients with tumours expressing high ADAMTS5 levels (red) with those expressing low ADAMTS5 levels (black).

    Working model. Upregulated Rab25 induced ADAMTS5 expression through an NF‐κB‐dependent signalling pathway in OC cells. Secreted ADAMTS5 promoted OC cell migration and invasion in a proteolytic activity‐related manner. Rab25 could also be involved in controlling the crosstalk between OC cells and CAFs in the TME.
