According to the global cancer burden data issued by the international cancer research institute of the world health organization in 2021, the new occurrence of the global ovarian cancer is about 31 ten thousand, and the death cases are over 20 ten thousand, so that the life and the health of women are seriously threatened. Because the incidence of ovarian cancer is hidden, more than 70% of patients are found to be in late stage and abdominal cavity multi-site metastasis occurs more often, thus greatly impeding the feasibility and safety of the operation. The current treatment means is unsatisfactory, the survival rate of patients in the advanced stage for 5 years is always less than 40%, but the survival rate of patients without combined transfer for 5 years can reach more than 90%. The easy occurrence and metastasis of the ovarian cancer are important reasons for restricting the survival rate of patients with the ovarian cancer to be improved, and are also difficult treatment problems faced by clinicians. Thus, effective suppression of metastasis of ovarian cancer would help improve the poor prognosis of ovarian cancer patients.

Detailed Description
The application will be further described with reference to examples and figures
Example 1: single cell sequencing analysis found s100deg.A 9+ tumor cell subpopulation, illustrating its characteristics and specific molecular expression profile 1. Single cell isolation: ovarian cancer tissue and metastatic tissue samples were surgically excised and minced into small pieces (about 1 mm) on ice 3 Size). Subsequently, collagenase I (Sigma), collagen was usedEnzyme IV (Sigma) and DNase I (Worthington) were digested in a water bath at 37℃for 30 minutes. After digestion, the samples were passed through a 40 μm cell filter and centrifuged at 300 Xg for 5 minutes. For ascites, cells in the ascites were directly filtered through a 40 μm cell filter and then centrifuged at 300×g for 5 minutes. The supernatant was discarded and the pellet resuspended in erythrocyte lysis buffer (Solarbio) to remove erythrocytes. The cells were then resuspended in RPMI1640 complete medium and filtered through a 35 μm cell filter. Isolated single cells were stained with acridine orange/propidium iodide (AO/PI) and cell viability was assessed using a Countstar fluorescent cell analyzer. Single cell RNA sequencing was then performed using 10X Genomics Chromium Controller Instrument to collect single cell suspensions and analyzed as follows:
the scRNA-seq data is filtered out of the adapter sequence using default parameters, removing low quality reads, and obtaining clean data. The reads were then compared to the human genome (GRCh 38 ensembl: v 91) to generate a characteristic barcode matrix. Based on the barcode reading of each cell of each sample, a downsampling analysis is performed on the sequenced samples and an aggregation matrix is generated as a final output. Cells expressing more than 200 genes and having a mitochondrial UMI rate below 20% pass the quality filter criteria, mitochondrial genes are excluded from the expression table.
Cell normalization and regression were then performed according to the expression table, while taking into account UMI counts and percentage of mitochondrial genes for each sample, resulting in scaled data. And carrying out principal component analysis on the scale data by using the first 2000 high-variable genes, and selecting the first 10 principal components for Uniform Manifold Approximation and Projection (UMAP) construction. By adopting the graph-based clustering method, unsupervised cell clustering is obtained based on the first 10 principal components of PCA. Determining the marker genes of each cluster using the criteria of 1) log values of fold differences (lnFC) > 0.25; 2) Assumed value < 0.05; 3) Minimum percentage (min. Pct) > 0.1. To further determine a particular cell type, clusters representing the same cell type are selected for subsequent re-UMAP analysis, graph-based clustering, and marker analysis.
2. Survival analysis: the total survival of ovarian cancer patients was studied from a large amount of mRNA-seq data obtained from the cancer genomic profile (TCGA) database.
3. Results: the high resolution cell patterns of tumor primary and/or metastatic sites of 18 patients with ovarian cancer initiation are shown in fig. 1-2, and as shown in fig. 3, a small group of cell subsets mainly characterized by expressing S100A9 exist in-situ tumor cells (fig. 3A), and TCGA ovarian cancer database prognosis analysis shows that s100deg.A9+ tumor cell subsets are positively correlated with the poor prognosis of ovarian cancer (fig. 3B). As shown in fig. 4, the s100deg.A 9+ tumor cell subpopulations were present in different patients, not individual-specific, and their presence was common. As shown in FIG. 5, a class of specific tumor cell molecular marker compositions for promoting ovarian cancer metastasis is identified by further analyzing the expression characteristics of S100deg.A 9+ tumor cell common molecules: S100A8, S100A9, ADGRF1, CEACAM6, CST6, NDRG2, MUC4, PI3, SDC1 and C15orf48 genes, and are all remarkably high in specificity. s100deg.A 9+ tumor cells were also present in tumor cells at the metastatic sites of ovarian cancer (FIG. 6), and were present at different metastatic sites (FIG. 7).
