CDK1 Is a Synthetic Lethal Target for KRAS Mutant Tumours.
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2016-02-16)
Activating KRAS mutations are found in approximately 20% of human cancers but no RAS-directed therapies are currently available. Here we describe a novel, robust, KRAS synthetic lethal interaction with the cyclin dependent ...
TGFβ-mediated suppression of CD248 in non-cancer cells via canonical Smad-dependent signaling pathways is uncoupled in cancer cells.
(2014-02-20)
Background CD248 is a cell surface glycoprotein, highly expressed by stromal cells and fibroblasts of tumors and inflammatory lesions, but virtually undetectable in healthy adult tissues. CD248 promotes tumorigenesis, while ...
A Cross-Species Analysis in Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors Reveals Molecular Subtypes with Distinctive Clinical, Metastatic, Developmental, and Metabolic Characteristics.
(2015-12)
Unlabelled Seeking to assess the representative and instructive value of an engineered mouse model of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PanNET) for its cognate human cancer, we profiled and compared mRNA and miRNA ...
Polθ inhibitors elicit BRCA-gene synthetic lethality and target PARP inhibitor resistance.
(NATURE RESEARCH, 2021-06-17)
To identify approaches to target DNA repair vulnerabilities in cancer, we discovered nanomolar potent, selective, low molecular weight (MW), allosteric inhibitors of the polymerase function of DNA polymerase Polθ, including ...
Targeting TRIM37-driven centrosome dysfunction in 17q23-amplified breast cancer.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2020-09-17)
Genomic instability is a hallmark of cancer, and has a central role in the initiation and development of breast cancer1,2. The success of poly-ADP ribose polymerase inhibitors in the treatment of breast cancers that are ...
CHD7 and 53BP1 regulate distinct pathways for the re-ligation of DNA double-strand breaks.
(NATURE RESEARCH, 2020-11-13)
Chromatin structure is dynamically reorganized at multiple levels in response to DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). Yet, how the different steps of chromatin reorganization are coordinated in space and time to differentially ...
Near-InfraRed PhotoImmunoTherapy (NIR-PIT) for the local control of solid cancers: Challenges and potentials for human applications.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2021-05-01)
Near-InfraRed PhotoImmunoTherapy (NIR-PIT) is a novel cancer-targeted treatment effected by a chemical conjugation between a photosensitiser (e.g. the NIR phthalocyanine dye IRDye700DX) and a cancer-targeting moiety (e.g. ...
Discovery of potent, orally bioavailable, small-molecule inhibitors of WNT signaling from a cell-based pathway screen.
(AMER CHEMICAL SOC, 2015-02-26)
WNT signaling is frequently deregulated in malignancy, particularly in colon cancer, and plays a key role in the generation and maintenance of cancer stem cells. We report the discovery and optimization of a 3,4,5-trisubstituted ...
Inhibition of mTOR-kinase destabilizes MYCN and is a potential therapy for MYCN-dependent tumors.
(IMPACT JOURNALS LLC, 2016-09-06)
MYC oncoproteins deliver a potent oncogenic stimulus in several human cancers, making them major targets for drug development, but efforts to deliver clinically practical therapeutics have not yet been realized. In childhood ...
A selective chemical probe for exploring the role of CDK8 and CDK19 in human disease.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2015-12-01)
There is unmet need for chemical tools to explore the role of the Mediator complex in human pathologies ranging from cancer to cardiovascular disease. Here we determine that CCT251545, a small-molecule inhibitor of the WNT ...
