Sex-specific gene and pathway modeling of inherited glioma risk.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS INC, 2019-01-01)
BACKGROUND: To date, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified 25 risk variants for glioma, explaining 30% of heritable risk. Most histologies occur with significantly higher incidence in males, and this ...
Activation of MAPK Signaling by CXCR7 Leads to Enzalutamide Resistance in Prostate Cancer.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2019-05-15)
Castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) that has developed resistance to the new-generation androgen receptor (AR) antagonist enzalutamide is a lethal disease. Transcriptome analysis of multiple prostate cancer models ...
AhR controls redox homeostasis and shapes the tumor microenvironment in BRCA1-associated breast cancer.
(NATL ACAD SCIENCES, 2019-02-26)
Cancer cells have higher reactive oxygen species (ROS) than normal cells, due to genetic and metabolic alterations. An emerging scenario is that cancer cells increase ROS to activate protumorigenic signaling while activating ...
Reactive oxygen species modulate macrophage immunosuppressive phenotype through the up-regulation of PD-L1.
(NATL ACAD SCIENCES, 2019-03-05)
The combination of immune checkpoint blockade with chemotherapy is currently under investigation as a promising strategy for the treatment of triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are ...
Glutathione Metabolism: An Achilles' Heel of ARID1A-Deficient Tumors.
(CELL PRESS, 2019-02-11)
In this issue of Cancer Cell, Ogiwara et al. describe a novel link between the epigenetic regulator ARID1A and glutathione metabolism in cancer that is mediated by regulation of the cystine/glutamate transporter XCT. This ...
Degron-tagged reporters probe membrane topology and enable the specific labelling of membrane-wrapped structures.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2019-08-02)
Visualization of specific organelles in tissues over background fluorescence can be challenging, especially when reporters localize to multiple structures. Instead of trying to identify proteins enriched in specific ...
Cediranib in patients with alveolar soft-part sarcoma (CASPS): a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomised, phase 2 trial.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2019-07-01)
BACKGROUND: Alveolar soft-part sarcoma (ASPS) is a rare soft-tissue sarcoma that is unresponsive to chemotherapy. Cediranib, a tyrosine-kinase inhibitor, has shown substantial activity in ASPS in non-randomised studies. ...
Comparative performances of machine learning methods for classifying Crohn Disease patients using genome-wide genotyping data.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2019-07-17)
Crohn Disease (CD) is a complex genetic disorder for which more than 140 genes have been identified using genome wide association studies (GWAS). However, the genetic architecture of the trait remains largely unknown. The ...
Spatially constrained tumour growth affects the patterns of clonal selection and neutral drift in cancer genomic data.
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2019-07-29)
Quantification of the effect of spatial tumour sampling on the patterns of mutations detected in next-generation sequencing data is largely lacking. Here we use a spatial stochastic cellular automaton model of tumour growth ...
Landscape of transcriptomic interactions between breast cancer and its microenvironment.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2019-07-15)
Solid tumours comprise mixtures of tumour cells (TCs) and tumour-adjacent cells (TACs), and the intricate interconnections between these diverse populations shape the tumour's microenvironment. Despite this complexity, ...
