International Ring Trial of a High Resolution Targeted Metabolomics and Lipidomics Platform for Serum and Plasma Analysis.
(AMER CHEMICAL SOC, 2019-10-22)
A challenge facing metabolomics in the analysis of large human cohorts is the cross-laboratory comparability of quantitative metabolomics measurements. In this study, 14 laboratories analyzed various blood specimens using ...
Targeting cyclooxygenase by indomethacin decelerates progression of acute lymphoblastic leukemia in a xenograft model.
(AMER SOC HEMATOLOGY, 2019-11-12)
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) develops in the bone marrow in the vicinity of stromal cells known to promote tumor development and treatment resistance. We previously showed that the cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitor ...
The secreted protease Adamts18 links hormone action to activation of the mammary stem cell niche.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2020-03-26)
Estrogens and progesterone control breast development and carcinogenesis via their cognate receptors expressed in a subset of luminal cells in the mammary epithelium. How they control the extracellular matrix, important ...
Intraductal patient-derived xenografts of estrogen receptor α-positive breast cancer recapitulate the histopathological spectrum and metastatic potential of human lesions.
(WILEY, 2019-03-01)
Estrogen receptor α-positive (ER-positive) or 'luminal' breast cancers were notoriously difficult to establish as patient-derived xenografts (PDXs). We and others recently demonstrated that the microenvironment is critical ...
Discovery of high-confidence human protein-coding genes and exons by whole-genome PhyloCSF helps elucidate 118 GWAS loci.
(COLD SPRING HARBOR LAB PRESS, PUBLICATIONS DEPT, 2019-12-01)
The most widely appreciated role of DNA is to encode protein, yet the exact portion of the human genome that is translated remains to be ascertained. We previously developed PhyloCSF, a widely used tool to identify ...
APOBEC3B-mediated corruption of the tumor cell immunopeptidome induces heteroclitic neoepitopes for cancer immunotherapy.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2020-02-07)
APOBEC3B, an anti-viral cytidine deaminase which induces DNA mutations, has been implicated as a mediator of cancer evolution and therapeutic resistance. Mutational plasticity also drives generation of neoepitopes, which ...
Proteomic research in sarcomas - current status and future opportunities.
(ACADEMIC PRESS LTD- ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2020-04-01)
Sarcomas are a rare group of mesenchymal cancers comprising over 70 different histological subtypes. For the majority of these diseases, the molecular understanding of the basis of their initiation and progression remains ...
Immunological impact of cell death signaling driven by radiation on the tumor microenvironment.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2020-02-01)
Therapeutic irradiation of the tumor microenvironment causes differential activation of pro-survival and pro-death pathways in malignant, stromal, endothelial and immune cells, hence causing a profound cellular and biological ...
Faecal neutrophil elastase-antiprotease balance reflects colitis severity.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2020-03-01)
Given the global burden of diarrheal diseases on healthcare it is surprising how little is known about the drivers of disease severity. Colitis caused by infection and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is characterised by ...
Transcriptomic analysis of human primary breast cancer identifies fatty acid oxidation as a target for metformin.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2020-01-21)
BACKGROUND: Epidemiological studies suggest that metformin may reduce the incidence of cancer in patients with diabetes and multiple late phase clinical trials assessing the potential of repurposing this drug are underway. ...
