IGF-1R associates with adverse outcomes after radical radiotherapy for prostate cancer.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017-11-21)
BACKGROUND: Activated type 1 insulin-like growth factor receptors (IGF-1Rs) undergo internalisation and nuclear translocation, promoting cell survival. We previously reported that IGF-1R inhibition delays DNA damage repair, ...
Low expression of hexokinase-2 is associated with false-negative FDG-positron emission tomography in multiple myeloma.
(AMER SOC HEMATOLOGY, 2017-07-06)
18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography (PET) and diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging with background signal suppression (DWIBS) are 2 powerful functional imaging modalities in the evaluation ...
Adjuvant Pertuzumab and Trastuzumab in Early HER2-Positive Breast Cancer.
(MASSACHUSETTS MEDICAL SOC, 2017-07-13)
BACKGROUND: Pertuzumab increases the rate of pathological complete response in the preoperative context and increases overall survival among patients with metastatic disease when it is added to trastuzumab and chemotherapy ...
Pathway-analysis of published genome-wide association studies of lung cancer: A potential role for the CYP4F3 locus.
(WILEY, 2017-06-01)
The fatty acids (FAs) metabolism is suggested to play a pivotal role in the development of lung cancer, and we explored that by conducting a pathway-based analysis. We performed a meta-analysis of published datasets of six ...
PLK1 Activation in Late G2 Sets Up Commitment to Mitosis.
(CELL PRESS, 2017-06-06)
Commitment to mitosis must be tightly coordinated with DNA replication to preserve genome integrity. While we have previously established that the timely activation of CyclinB1-Cdk1 in late G2 triggers mitotic entry, the ...
Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) Promotes Assembly of the p130Cas Interactome to Drive Endothelial Chemotactic Signaling and Angiogenesis.
(AMER SOC BIOCHEMISTRY MOLECULAR BIOLOGY INC, 2017-02-01)
p130Cas is a polyvalent adapter protein essential for cardiovascular development, and with a key role in cell movement. In order to identify the pathways by which p130Cas exerts its biological functions in endothelial cells ...
Quantitative Cell Cycle Analysis Based on an Endogenous All-in-One Reporter for Cell Tracking and Classification.
(CELL PRESS, 2017-05-30)
Cell cycle kinetics are crucial to cell fate decisions. Although live imaging has provided extensive insights into this relationship at the single-cell level, the limited number of fluorescent markers that can be used in ...
Structural and functional characterization of a DARPin which inhibits Ras nucleotide exchange.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017-07-14)
Ras mutations are the oncogenic drivers of many human cancers and yet there are still no approved Ras-targeted cancer therapies. Inhibition of Ras nucleotide exchange is a promising new approach but better understanding ...
Intracavitary 'T4 immunotherapy' of malignant mesothelioma using pan-ErbB re-targeted CAR T-cells.
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2017-05-01)
Malignant mesothelioma remains an incurable cancer. We demonstrated that mesotheliomas expressed EGFR (79.2%), ErbB4 (49.0%) and HER2 (6.3%), but lacked ErbB3. At least one ErbB family member was expressed in 88% of tumors. ...
Expression of the fetal hematopoiesis regulator FEV indicates leukemias of prenatal origin.
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2017-05-01)
The origin of cancers is associated with etiology as well as therapeutics. Several studies reveal that malignancies in children can originate in utero. However, a diagnostic approach to distinguish between cancers initiated ...
