ARID1A influences HDAC1/BRD4 activity, intrinsic proliferative capacity and breast cancer treatment response.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2020-02-01)
Using genome-wide clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) screens to understand endocrine drug resistance, we discovered ARID1A and other SWI/SNF complex components as the factors most critically ...
Patient-derived tumour xenografts for breast cancer drug discovery.
(BIOSCIENTIFICA LTD, 2016-12-01)
Despite remarkable advances in our understanding of the drivers of human malignancies, new targeted therapies often fail to show sufficient efficacy in clinical trials. Indeed, the cost of bringing a new agent to market ...
MAP4K4 Inhibition Promotes Survival of Human Stem Cell-Derived Cardiomyocytes and Reduces Infarct Size In Vivo.
(CELL PRESS, 2019-04-04)
Heart disease is a paramount cause of global death and disability. Although cardiomyocyte death plays a causal role and its suppression would be logical, no clinical counter-measures target the responsible intracellular ...
MEKK3 coordinates with FBW7 to regulate WDR62 stability and neurogenesis.
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2018-12-01)
Mutations of WD repeat domain 62 (WDR62) lead to autosomal recessive primary microcephaly (MCPH), and down-regulation of WDR62 expression causes the loss of neural progenitor cells (NPCs). However, how WDR62 is regulated ...
C/EBPα mediates the growth inhibitory effect of progestins on breast cancer cells.
(WILEY, 2019-09-16)
Steroid hormones are key gene regulators in breast cancer cells. While estrogens stimulate cell proliferation, progestins activate a single cell cycle followed by proliferation arrest. Here, we use biochemical and genome-wide ...
CD73 Blockade Promotes Dendritic Cell Infiltration of Irradiated Tumors and Tumor Rejection.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2020-04-01)
The ability of focal radiotherapy to promote priming of tumor-specific CD8+ T cells and increase responses to immunotherapy is dependent on infiltration of the tumor by Batf3-dependent conventional dendritic cell type 1 ...
The Lineage Determining Factor GRHL2 Collaborates with FOXA1 to Establish a Targetable Pathway in Endocrine Therapy-Resistant Breast Cancer.
(CELL PRESS, 2019-10-22)
Notwithstanding the positive clinical impact of endocrine therapies in estrogen receptor-alpha (ERα)-positive breast cancer, de novo and acquired resistance limits the therapeutic lifespan of existing drugs. Taking the ...
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 ...
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 ...
