NFKB1 and ovarian carcinoma: Using spatial transcriptomics, we show that the short-term 1-day exposure to ovarian cancer–derived sEVs alters expression of 68 transcripts in secretory cells, the progenitor of high-grade serous ovarian cancer, notably upregulating immune-related mRNA, including CXCL family chemokines, VCAM1, and pro-inflammatory mediators (NFKB1, IL1B, and IFNA7/17).
