Role for the Histone Demethylase KDM4B in Rhabdomyosarcoma via CDK6 and CCNA2: Compensation by KDM4A and Apoptotic Response of Targeting Both KDM4B and KDM4A.
(MDPI, 2021-04-06)
Histone demethylases are epigenetic modulators that play key roles in regulating gene expression related to many critical cellular functions and are emerging as promising therapeutic targets in a number of tumor types. We ...
Selective AKT kinase inhibitor capivasertib in combination with fulvestrant in PTEN-mutant ER-positive metastatic breast cancer.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2021-04-16)
Five to ten percent of ER+ metastatic breast cancer (MBC) tumors harbor somatic PTEN mutations. Loss of function of this tumor-suppressor gene defines a highly aggressive, treatment-refractory disease for which new therapies ...
Germline variants at SOHLH2 influence multiple myeloma risk.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2021-04-19)
Multiple myeloma (MM) is caused by the uncontrolled, clonal expansion of plasma cells. While there is epidemiological evidence for inherited susceptibility, the molecular basis remains incompletely understood. We report a ...
Response to first vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 in patients with multiple myeloma.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2021-05-25)
Searching for treatments for non-G12C-KRAS mutant cancers.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2021-08-31)
KRAS mutations drive a wide variety of cancers. Drugs targeting the protein product of KRASG12C mutations are currently being evaluated show preliminary efficacy in clinical trials. A clinical trial of VS-6766, a dual ...
Targeting the Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor (FGFR) Family in Lung Cancer.
(MDPI, 2021-05-10)
Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer-related deaths globally. Genetic alterations, such as amplifications, mutations and translocations in the fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) family have been found in ...
Pathogenic ACVR1R206H activation by Activin A-induced receptor clustering and autophosphorylation.
(WILEY, 2021-07-15)
Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) and diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) are debilitating diseases that share causal mutations in ACVR1, a TGF-β family type I receptor. ACVR1R206H is a frequent mutation in ...
Severity of gastric intestinal metaplasia predicts the risk of gastric cancer: a prospective multicentre cohort study (GCEP).
(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2021-05-11)
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the incidence of gastric cancer (GC) attributed to gastric intestinal metaplasia (IM), and validate the Operative Link on Gastric Intestinal Metaplasia (OLGIM) for targeted endoscopic surveillance ...
Colonic epithelial cathelicidin (LL-37) expression intensity is associated with progression of colorectal cancer and presence of CD8+ T cell infiltrate.
(WILEY, 2021-05-14)
Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains a leading cause of cancer mortality. Here, we define the colonic epithelial expression of cathelicidin (LL-37) in CRC. Cathelicidin exerts pleotropic effects including anti-microbial and ...
HER3 expression and MEK activation in non-small-cell lung carcinoma.
(FUTURE MEDICINE LTD, 2021-04-09)
AIM: We explore HER3 expression in lung adenocarcinoma (adeno-NSCLC) and identify potential mechanisms of HER3 expression. MATERIALS & METHODS: Tumor samples from 45 patients with adeno-NSCLC were analyzed. HER3 and HER2 ...
