The Diversification of Cell Death and Immunity: Memento Mori.
(CELL PRESS, 2019-10-01)
Why do cells have so many ways to die? Why does "cellular suicide" exist at all? In the war against pathogens and rogue cells, organisms developed cellular suicide as a last resort. Fighting an evolutionary arms race, cell ...
Metabolic adaptability in metastatic breast cancer by AKR1B10-dependent balancing of glycolysis and fatty acid oxidation.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2019-06-20)
The different stages of the metastatic cascade present distinct metabolic challenges to tumour cells and an altered tumour metabolism associated with successful metastatic colonisation provides a therapeutic vulnerability ...
IGF signalling in germ cells and testicular germ cell tumours: roles and therapeutic approaches.
(WILEY, 2019-07-01)
The insulin-like growth factor (IGF) axis plays key roles in normal tissue growth and development as well as in the progression of several tumour types and their subsequent growth and progression to a metastatic phenotype. ...
The oncolytic virus Delta-24-RGD elicits an antitumor effect in pediatric glioma and DIPG mouse models.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2019-05-28)
Pediatric high-grade glioma (pHGG) and diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (DIPGs) are aggressive pediatric brain tumors in desperate need of a curative treatment. Oncolytic virotherapy is emerging as a solid therapeutic ...
BRD4 facilitates replication stress-induced DNA damage response.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-07-12)
Previous reports have demonstrated that select cancers depend on BRD4 to regulate oncogenic gene transcriptional programs. Here we describe a novel role for BRD4 in DNA damage response (DDR). BRD4 associates with and ...
Hypoxia-induced switch in SNAT2/SLC38A2 regulation generates endocrine resistance in breast cancer.
(NATL ACAD SCIENCES, 2019-06-18)
Tumor hypoxia is associated with poor patient outcomes in estrogen receptor-α-positive (ERα+) breast cancer. Hypoxia is known to affect tumor growth by reprogramming metabolism and regulating amino acid (AA) uptake. Here, ...
Differences in Signaling Patterns on PI3K Inhibition Reveal Context Specificity in KRAS-Mutant Cancers.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2019-08-01)
It is increasingly appreciated that drug response to different cancers driven by the same oncogene is different and may relate to differences in rewiring of signal transduction. We aimed to study differences in dynamic ...
p53 Loss in MYC-Driven Neuroblastoma Leads to Metabolic Adaptations Supporting Radioresistance.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2016-09-29)
Neuroblastoma is the most common childhood extracranial solid tumor. In high-risk cases, many of which are characterized by amplification of MYCN, outcome remains poor. Mutations in the p53 (TP53) tumor suppressor are rare ...
ATMIN Is a Tumor Suppressor Gene in Lung Adenocarcinoma.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2019-10-15)
Tumor cells proliferate rapidly and thus are frequently subjected to replication stress and the risk of incomplete duplication of the genome. Fragile sites are replicated late, making them more vulnerable to damage when ...
Integrin-Mediated Macrophage Adhesion Promotes Lymphovascular Dissemination in Breast Cancer.
(CELL PRESS, 2019-05-14)
Lymphatic vasculature is crucial for metastasis in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC); however, cellular and molecular drivers controlling lymphovascular metastasis are poorly understood. We define a macrophage-dependent ...
