Endosialin expression in soft tissue sarcoma as a potential marker of undifferentiated mesenchymal cells.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2016-08-09)
BACKGROUND: Soft tissue sarcomas are a group of neoplasms with differentiation towards mesenchymal tissue, many of which are aggressive and chemotherapy resistant. Histology and immunoprofiles often overlap with neoplasms ...
Fine-Scale Mapping at 9p22.2 Identifies Candidate Causal Variants That Modify Ovarian Cancer Risk in BRCA1 and BRCA2 Mutation Carriers.
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2016-07-27)
Population-based genome wide association studies have identified a locus at 9p22.2 associated with ovarian cancer risk, which also modifies ovarian cancer risk in BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers. We conducted fine-scale ...
Meta-analysis of Genome Wide Association Studies Identifies Genetic Markers of Late Toxicity Following Radiotherapy for Prostate Cancer.
(ELSEVIER, 2016-08-01)
Nearly 50% of cancer patients undergo radiotherapy. Late radiotherapy toxicity affects quality-of-life in long-term cancer survivors and risk of side-effects in a minority limits doses prescribed to the majority of patients. ...
The regulatory isoform rPGRP-LC induces immune resolution via endosomal degradation of receptors.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2016-08-22)
The innate immune system needs to distinguish between harmful and innocuous stimuli to adapt its activation to the level of threat. How Drosophila mounts differential immune responses to dead and live Gram-negative bacteria ...
Class II phosphoinositide 3-kinase C2β regulates a novel signaling pathway involved in breast cancer progression.
(IMPACT JOURNALS LLC, 2016-04-05)
It is now well established that the enzymes phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks) have a key role in the development and progression of many cancer types and indeed PI3Ks inhibitors are currently being tested in clinical ...
Diffusion-weighted Imaging as a Treatment Response Biomarker for Evaluating Bone Metastases in Prostate Cancer: A Pilot Study.
(RADIOLOGICAL SOC NORTH AMERICA, 2017-04-01)
Purpose To determine the usefulness of whole-body diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) to assess the response of bone metastases to treatment in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Materials ...
Systematic analysis of tumour cell-extracellular matrix adhesion identifies independent prognostic factors in breast cancer.
(IMPACT JOURNALS LLC, 2016-08-17)
Tumour cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) interactions are fundamental for discrete steps in breast cancer progression. In particular, cancer cell adhesion to ECM proteins present in the microenvironment is critical for ...
Phenotypic diversity of circulating tumour cells in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.
(WILEY, 2017-11-01)
OBJECTIVES: To use a non-biased assay for circulating tumour cells (CTCs) in patients with prostate cancer (PCa) in order to identify non-traditional CTC phenotypes potentially excluded by conventional detection methods ...
Pleiotropic Analysis of Lung Cancer and Blood Triglycerides.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS INC, 2016-12-01)
Epidemiologically related traits may share genetic risk factors, and pleiotropic analysis could identify individual loci associated with these traits. Because of their shared epidemiological associations, we conducted ...
Discovery of 4,6-disubstituted pyrimidines as potent inhibitors of the heat shock factor 1 (HSF1) stress pathway and CDK9.
(ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY, 2016-08-01)
Heat shock factor 1 (HSF1) is a transcription factor that plays key roles in cancer, including providing a mechanism for cell survival under proteotoxic stress. Therefore, inhibition of the HSF1-stress pathway represents ...
