Enhancer invasion shapes MYCN-dependent transcriptional amplification in neuroblastoma.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-04-01)
Amplification of the locus encoding the oncogenic transcription factor MYCN is a defining feature of high-risk neuroblastoma. Here we present the first dynamic chromatin and transcriptional landscape of MYCN perturbation ...
EGFR feedback-inhibition by Ran-binding protein 6 is disrupted in cancer.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017-12-11)
Transport of macromolecules through the nuclear pore by importins and exportins plays a critical role in the spatial regulation of protein activity. How cancer cells co-opt this process to promote tumorigenesis remains ...
Vps34 PI 3-kinase inactivation enhances insulin sensitivity through reprogramming of mitochondrial metabolism.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017-11-27)
Vps34 PI3K is thought to be the main producer of phosphatidylinositol-3-monophosphate, a lipid that controls intracellular vesicular trafficking. The organismal impact of systemic inhibition of Vps34 kinase activity is not ...
SF3B1 hotspot mutations confer sensitivity to PARP inhibition by eliciting a defective replication stress response.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2023-08-01)
SF3B1 hotspot mutations are associated with a poor prognosis in several tumor types and lead to global disruption of canonical splicing. Through synthetic lethal drug screens, we identify that SF3B1 mutant (SF3B1MUT) cells ...
HSF1 Pathway Inhibitor Clinical Candidate (CCT361814/NXP800) Developed from a Phenotypic Screen as a Potential Treatment for Refractory Ovarian Cancer and Other Malignancies.
(AMER CHEMICAL SOC, 2023-04-27)
CCT251236 1, a potent chemical probe, was previously developed from a cell-based phenotypic high-throughput screen (HTS) to discover inhibitors of transcription mediated by HSF1, a transcription factor that supports ...
CD73 controls Myosin II-driven invasion, metastasis, and immunosuppression in amoeboid pancreatic cancer cells.
(AMER ASSOC ADVANCEMENT SCIENCE, 2023-10-20)
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has a very poor prognosis because of its high propensity to metastasize and its immunosuppressive microenvironment. Using a panel of pancreatic cancer cell lines, three-dimensional ...
Monitoring the Vascular Response and Resistance to Sunitinib in Renal Cell Carcinoma In Vivo with Susceptibility Contrast MRI.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2017-08-01)
Antiangiogenic therapy is efficacious in metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). However, the ability of antiangiogenic drugs to delay tumor progression and extend survival is limited, due to either innate or acquired drug ...
Metabolic biomarkers of response to the AKT inhibitor MK-2206 in pre-clinical models of human colorectal and prostate carcinoma.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-10-30)
BACKGROUND: AKT is commonly overexpressed in tumours and plays an important role in the metabolic reprogramming of cancer. We have used magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) to assess whether inhibition of AKT signalling ...
Atlas of prostate cancer heritability in European and African-American men pinpoints tissue-specific regulation.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2016-04-07)
Although genome-wide association studies have identified over 100 risk loci that explain ∼33% of familial risk for prostate cancer (PrCa), their functional effects on risk remain largely unknown. Here we use genotype data ...
Cancer associated fibroblast FAK regulates malignant cell metabolism.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2020-03-10)
Emerging evidence suggests that cancer cell metabolism can be regulated by cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), but the mechanisms are poorly defined. Here we show that CAFs regulate malignant cell metabolism through ...
