My postdoctoral studies were undertaken in the Department of Surgery, Flinders Medical Centre, South Australia and Dame Roma Mitchell Cancer Research Laboratories, Hanson Institute, South Australia (1996-2003) and I joined the Discipline of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of Adelaide in 2005. I have received highly competitive fellowships in the Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Adelaide and Cancer Council SA (2004-2014) which have enabled me to build a Reproductive Cancer research group in the Discipline of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, University of Adelaide. I was recently awarded the inaugural Lin Huddleston Ovarian Cancer Research Fellowship,Cancer Council SA (2016-2020).

Dr Ricciardelli a cancer cell biologist; joined the Discipline of Obstetrics and Gynaecology in April 2005. She was awarded her Ph D in 1996 (Flinders University) and has undertaken postdoctoral studies in the Department of Surgery, Flinders Medical Centre, South Australia (1996-2001) and Dame Roma Mitchell Cancer Research Laboratories, Hanson Institute, South Australia (2002-2005). In 2005 Dr Ricciardelli was awarded a Tall Poppy Award for outstanding achievement in the field of biomedical and clinical science. In 2007 she was the recipient of the highly competitive Hilda Farmer Fellowship in Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Adelaide which has enabled her to build a Reproductive cancer research group in the Discipline of O&G, University of Adelaide. In 2012 Dr Ricciardelli was awarded a senior fellowship funded by SAHMRI and Cancer Council SA. In 2015 Dr Ricciardelli was awarded the Lin Huddleston Ovarian Cancer Fellowship funded by  Cancer Council SA & Adelaide Medical School, University of Adelaide

Dr Ricciardelli's research program has focused on hormone-regulated proteins and prognostic markers in breast and prostate cancer. Using a novel approach in her postdoctoral studies by examining the non-cancer stromal cells which surround the cancer cells, Dr Ricciardelli was the first researcher to identify that the expression of the extracellular matrix protein, versican correlated with cancer spread in prostate and breast cancer. This was an exciting and unique discovery that has lead to versican expression being examined in many different cancer types. Versican is a molecule known to regulate cellular movement at critical periods in the developing embryo, and control the movement of normal smooth muscle cells, nerves and fibroblasts. Dr Ricciardelli's recent studies suggest that cancer cells can utilize stromally derived versican to aid their movement.

Dr Ricciardelli current research focuses on further understanding the cross-talk between breast and ovarian cancer cells and the tumour microevironment.The Reproductive Cancer Group seeks to understand the mechanisms involved in ovarian cancer spread, resistance to chemotherapy and the identification of novel biomarkers for early detection.

Project 1

Title: Extracellular vesicles: Identification of novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets for serous ovarian cancer

Description: Extracellular versicles (EVs) are nano-sized membrane-bound particles produced by virtually all cells in the body. They are found in all bodily fluids including the blood of ovarian cancer patients. EVs provide a major route of communication between different cell types throughout the body as they contain DNA, protein, RNA and lipid cargo characteristic of their cells of origin, which can be transferred to distant cells and affect their function. Extracellualr vesicles (EVs) are found in increasing numbers in the blood circulation under certain conditions, e.g. during normal pregnancy, and in cancer. The RNA and protein content of EVs have been characterised in studies of various commercially available cancer cell lines, including ovarian cancer cells; but few studies to date have focussed on ovarian cancer patient blood samples. This study will examine the proteomic profile in EVs isolated from patients with diagnosed late stage serous ovarian cancer, compared to benign serous cystadenomas and healthy controls. Candidate proteins that are differentially expressed will be validated and further characterized in ovarian cancer patient cohorts and using functional assays (adhesion, migration and invasion assays).

Project 2

Title: CAR-T cells targeting GPC1 a novel therapeutic approach against ovarian cancer

High serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC) makes up nearly 70% of ovarian cancers and up to 90% of patients present with advanced disease (FIGO stage III & IV). Current clinical practice for HGSOC consists of de-bulking surgery followed by combined platinum and taxane-based chemotherapy. Although initial responses to 1st line treatment is high, over 75% of patients eventually relapse and acquire chemotherapy resistance, which is the primary cause of ovarian cancer death and a major limitation to the successful treatment of ovarian cancer. Novel treatment strategies that are effective in chemotherapy resistant disease therefore would have immense potential to improve survival.

Chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) based immunotherapies are a revolutionary personalised approach to targeting and destroying cancer cells, with the potential to eradicate cancer without the need for chemotherapy. CART cell therapy targeting CD19 has been very effective against blood cancers, inducing complete remissions in clinical trials in more than 90% of patients, where conventional treatment had failed. CAR-T cell therapies have so far been less effective against solid cancers, due in part to the absence of suitable tumour associated antigens (TAAs) on solid cancers and the physical barriers to CAR-T cells reaching their target.

We have identified a TAAs (glypican-1, GPC1) that has high potential to be a suitable CAR-T cell target for HGSOC.  CAR-T cells targeting GPC1 have great potential to be an effective therapy for HGSOC. This study will assess whether GPC1 CAR-T cells can suppress the growth of chemotherapy resistant ovarian cancer in 3D spheroids and inhibit tumour burden and persist in chemotherapy resistant patient derived xenografts in vivo.

Project 3

Title: Novel therapeutics for ovarian cancer targeting annexin A2

Description: Ovarian cancer caused 207,252 deaths worldwide in 2020. Current treatments consist of surgery followed by chemotherapy, but over 75% of patients relapse and acquire chemotherapy resistance. There is an urgent need for more efficient treatment strategies against ovarian cancer. Our research focuses on understanding the crosstalk between ovarian cancer cells and the tumour microenvironment. Using proteomics approach, we identified annexin A2 to be upregulated by ovarian cancer cells when they interact with the peritoneum, and thereby promoting metastasis. High annexin A2 expression has been associated with poor survival in ovarian cancer patients.

This project will investigate the effects of annexin A2 inhibition in ovarian cancer cell lines and knockdown of annexin A2 expression will be confirm using RT-PCR and western blot. The effects of annexin A2 inhibition will be examine using functional assays including 3D spheroids assays, cell proliferation and apoptosis assay, cell motility and invasion assay and the chick chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assay. This project will evaluate the efficacy of annexin A2 inhibitors to block ovarian cancer progression and metastasis.
