Dual Targeting of PDGFRα and FGFR1 Displays Synergistic Efficacy in Malignant Rhabdoid Tumors.
(CELL PRESS, 2016-10-25)
Subunits of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex are mutated in a significant proportion of human cancers. Malignant rhabdoid tumors (MRTs) are lethal pediatric cancers characterized by a deficiency in the SWI/SNF ...
A Four-gene Decision Tree Signature Classification of Triple-negative Breast Cancer: Implications for Targeted Therapeutics.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2019-01-01)
The molecular complexity of triple-negative breast cancers (TNBCs) provides a challenge for patient management. We set out to characterize this heterogeneous disease by combining transcriptomics and genomics data, with the ...
A multiple myeloma classification system that associates normal B-cell subset phenotypes with prognosis.
(ELSEVIER, 2018-09-25)
Despite the recent progress in treatment of multiple myeloma (MM), it is still an incurable malignant disease, and we are therefore in need of new risk stratification tools that can help us to understand the disease and ...
Microenvironmental niche divergence shapes BRCA1-dysregulated ovarian cancer morphological plasticity.
(NATURE RESEARCH, 2018-09-25)
How tumor microenvironmental forces shape plasticity of cancer cell morphology is poorly understood. Here, we conduct automated histology image and spatial statistical analyses in 514 high grade serous ovarian samples to ...
Exploiting induced pluripotent stem cell-derived macrophages to unravel host factors influencing Chlamydia trachomatis pathogenesis.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017-04-25)
Chlamydia trachomatis remains a leading cause of bacterial sexually transmitted infections and preventable blindness worldwide. There are, however, limited in vitro models to study the role of host genetics in the response ...
Integrative epigenomics, transcriptomics and proteomics of patient chondrocytes reveal genes and pathways involved in osteoarthritis.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2017-08-21)
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common disease characterized by cartilage degeneration and joint remodeling. The underlying molecular changes underpinning disease progression are incompletely understood. We investigated genes and ...
Generation and characterisation of two D2A1 mammary cancer sublines to model spontaneous and experimental metastasis in a syngeneic BALB/c host.
(COMPANY BIOLOGISTS LTD, 2018-01-18)
Studying the complex mechanisms underlying breast cancer metastasis and therapy response necessitates relevant in vivo models, particularly syngeneic models with an intact immune system. Two syngeneic spontaneously metastatic ...
HSF1 Is Essential for Myeloma Cell Survival and A Promising Therapeutic Target.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2018-05-15)
Purpose: Myeloma is a plasma cell malignancy characterized by the overproduction of immunoglobulin, and is therefore susceptible to therapies targeting protein homeostasis. We hypothesized that heat shock factor 1 (HSF1) ...
Bromodomain and extra-terminal domain inhibition modulates the expression of pathologically relevant microRNAs in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
(FERRATA STORTI FOUNDATION, 2018-11-30)
Aberrant changes in microRNA expression contribute to lymphomagenesis. Bromodomain and extra-terminal domain inhibitors such as OTX015 (MK-8628, birabresib) have demonstrated preclinical and clinical activity in hematologic ...
FFPE breast tumour blocks provide reliable sources of both germline and malignant DNA for investigation of genetic determinants of individual tumour responses to treatment.
(SPRINGER, 2018-08-01)
BACKGROUND: Bio-banked formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues provide an excellent opportunity for translational genomic research. Historically matched blood has not always been collected as a source of germline ...
