Phenome-wide association analysis of LDL-cholesterol lowering genetic variants in PCSK9.
(BMC, 2019-10-29)BACKGROUND: We characterised the phenotypic consequence of genetic variation at the PCSK9 locus and compared findings with recent trials of pharmacological inhibitors of PCSK9. METHODS: Published and individual participant ... -
Phenome-wide association study (PheWAS) of colorectal cancer risk SNP effects on health outcomes in UK Biobank.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2022-03-23)BACKGROUND: Associations between colorectal cancer (CRC) and other health outcomes have been reported, but these may be subject to biases, or due to limitations of observational studies. METHODS: We set out to determine ... -
Phenome-wide Mendelian randomisation analysis of 378,142 cases reveals risk factors for eight common cancers.
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2024-03-25)For many cancers there are only a few well-established risk factors. Here, we use summary data from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in a Mendelian randomisation (MR) phenome-wide association study (PheWAS) to identify ... -
Phenotypic diversity of circulating tumour cells in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.
(WILEY, 2017-11-01)OBJECTIVES: To use a non-biased assay for circulating tumour cells (CTCs) in patients with prostate cancer (PCa) in order to identify non-traditional CTC phenotypes potentially excluded by conventional detection methods ... -
Phenotypic noise and plasticity in cancer evolution.
(Elsevier BV, 2023-11-13)Non-genetic alterations can produce changes in a cell's phenotype. In cancer, these phenomena can influence a cell's fitness by conferring access to heritable, beneficial phenotypes. Herein, we argue that current discussions ... -
Phenotypic plasticity and genetic control in colorectal cancer evolution.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2022-11-24)Genetic and epigenetic variation, together with transcriptional plasticity, contribute to intratumour heterogeneity1. The interplay of these biological processes and their respective contributions to tumour evolution remain ... -
PHIP - a novel candidate breast cancer susceptibility locus on 6q14.1.
(IMPACT JOURNALS LLC, 2017-11-28)Most non-BRCA1/2 breast cancer families have no identified genetic cause. We used linkage and haplotype analyses in familial and sporadic breast cancer cases to identify a susceptibility locus on chromosome 6q. Two independent ... -
Phosphatase specificity principles uncovered by MRBLE:Dephos and global substrate identification.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2023-12-06)Phosphoprotein phosphatases (PPPs) regulate major signaling pathways, but the determinants of phosphatase specificity are poorly understood. This is because methods to investigate this at scale are lacking. Here, we develop ... -
Phospho-proteomics and functional genomics for the characterisation of resistance mechanisms to agents targeting the EGFR, PI3K and MAPK pathways and their application in guiding drug combinations in colorectal cancer
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2019-12-31)KRAS mutant and RAS/BRAF wild type (RAS WT) colorectal cancer (CRC) cells respond differently to targeted agents, as exemplified by cetuximab, an anti-EGFR antibody, which is only effective in a proportion of patients with ... -
Phosphoinositide 3-Kinase/Akt Signaling and Redox Metabolism in Cancer.
(FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2018-05-15)Metabolic rewiring and the consequent production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) are necessary to promote tumorigenesis. At the nexus of these cellular processes is the aberrant regulation of oncogenic signaling cascades ... -
Phosphoproteomic Profiling Reveals ALK and MET as Novel Actionable Targets across Synovial Sarcoma Subtypes.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2017-08-15)Despite intensive multimodal treatment of sarcomas, a heterogeneous group of malignant tumors arising from connective tissue, survival remains poor. Candidate-based targeted treatments have demonstrated limited clinical ... -
Phosphorylation-Dependent Assembly of a 14-3-3 Mediated Signaling Complex during Red Blood Cell Invasion by Plasmodium falciparum Merozoites.
(AMER SOC MICROBIOLOGY, 2020-08-18)Red blood cell (RBC) invasion by Plasmodium merozoites requires multiple steps that are regulated by signaling pathways. Exposure of P. falciparum merozoites to the physiological signal of low K+, as found in blood plasma, ... -
Phosphorylation-dependent assembly of DNA damage response systems and the central roles of TOPBP1.
(ELSEVIER, 2021-10-19)The cellular response to DNA damage (DDR) that causes replication collapse and/or DNA double strand breaks, is characterised by a massive change in the post-translational modifications (PTM) of hundreds of proteins involved ... -
Phosphorylation-dependent substrate selectivity of protein kinase B (AKT1).
(AMER SOC BIOCHEMISTRY MOLECULAR BIOLOGY INC, 2020-06-12)Protein kinase B (AKT1) is a central node in a signaling pathway that regulates cell survival. The diverse pathways regulated by AKT1 are communicated in the cell via the phosphorylation of perhaps more than 100 cellular ... -
Phosphorylation-mediated interactions with TOPBP1 couple 53BP1 and 9-1-1 to control the G1 DNA damage checkpoint.
(ELIFE SCIENCES PUBLICATIONS LTD, 2019-05-28)Coordination of the cellular response to DNA damage is organised by multi-domain 'scaffold' proteins, including 53BP1 and TOPBP1, which recognise post-translational modifications such as phosphorylation, methylation and ... -
Photodynamic versus white light-guided treatment of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer: a study protocol for a randomised trial of clinical and cost-effectiveness.
(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2019-09-03)INTRODUCTION: Bladder cancer is the most frequently occurring tumour of the urinary system. Ta, T1 tumours and carcinoma in situ (CIS) are grouped as non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC), which can be effectively ... -
Photodynamic versus white-light-guided resection of first-diagnosis non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer: PHOTO RCT.
(NIHR JOURNALS LIBRARY, 2022-10-01)BACKGROUND: Around 7500 people are diagnosed with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer in the UK annually. Recurrence following transurethral resection of bladder tumour is common, and the intensive monitoring schedule ... -
Phylogenetic Position of a Copper Age Sheep (Ovis aries) Mitochondrial DNA
(2012-03-01)Background: Sheep (Ovis aries) were domesticated in the Fertile Crescent region about 9,000-8,000 years ago. Currently, few mitochondrial (mt) DNA studies are available on archaeological sheep. In particular, no data on ... -
