TGF-beta induces miR-100 and miR-125b but blocks let-7a through LIN28B controlling PDAC progression (vol 9, 1845, 2018)
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2019-08-14)
TGF-beta/Activin induces epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and stemness in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). However, the microRNAs (miRNAs) regulated during this response have remained yet undetermined. Here, ...
Delineating the HMGB1 and HMGB2 interactome in prostate and ovary epithelial cells and its relationship with cancer.
(Impact Journals, LLC, 2018-04-10)
High Mobility Group B (HMGB) proteins are involved in cancer progression and in cellular responses to platinum compounds used in the chemotherapy of prostate and ovary cancer. Here we use affinity purification coupled to ...
Mechanism of selective recruitment of RNA polymerases II and III to snRNA gene promoters.
(COLD SPRING HARBOR LAB PRESS, PUBLICATIONS DEPT, 2018-05-01)
RNA polymerase II (Pol II) small nuclear RNA (snRNA) promoters and type 3 Pol III promoters have highly similar structures; both contain an interchangeable enhancer and "proximal sequence element" (PSE), which recruits the ...
Genetic predisposition to B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia at 14q11.2 is mediated by a CEBPE promoter polymorphism.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2019-01-01)
Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) is the most common paediatric malignancy. Genome-wide association studies have shown variation at 14q11.2 influences ALL risk. We sought to decipher causal variant(s) at 14q11.2 and the ...
Epigenome-wide association study of body mass index, and the adverse outcomes of adiposity
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2017-01-01)
Approximately 1.5 billion people worldwide are overweight or affected by obesity, and are at risk of developing type (2) diabetes, cardiovascular disease and related metabolic and inflammatory disturbances(1,2). Although ...
Loss of MMP-8 in ductal carcinoma in situ ( DCIS)-associated myoepithelial cells contributes to tumour promotion through altered adhesive and proteolytic function
(2017-01-01)
Background: Normal myoepithelial cells (MECs) play an important tumour-suppressor role in the breast but display an altered phenotype in ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), gaining tumour-promoter functions. Matrix ...
Obligatory and facilitative allelic variation in the DNA methylome within common disease-associated loci
(2018-01-01)
Integrating epigenetic data with genome-wide association study (GWAS) results can reveal disease mechanisms. The genome sequence itself also shapes the epigenome, with CpG density and transcription factor binding sites ...
Discriminative identification of transcriptional responses of promoters and enhancers after stimulus
(2017-01-01)
Promoters and enhancers regulate the initiation of gene expression and maintenance of expression levels in spatial and temporal manner. Recent findings stemming from the Cap Analysis of Gene Expression (CAGE) demonstrate ...
miRNA Profiles as a Predictor of Chemoresponsiveness in Wilms' Tumor Blastema
(2013-01-01)
The current SIOP treatment protocol for Wilms' tumor involves pre-operative chemotherapy followed by nephrectomy. Not all patients benefit equally from such chemotherapy. The aim of this study was to generate a miRNA profile ...
Genome-wide association analysis identifies a meningioma risk locus at 11p15.5.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS INC, 2018-10-09)
BACKGROUND: Meningiomas are adult brain tumors originating in the meningeal coverings of the brain and spinal cord, with significant heritable basis. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have previously identified only ...
