Assessing the mechanism and therapeutic potential of modulators of the human Mediator complex-associated protein kinases.
(ELIFE SCIENCES PUBLICATIONS LTD, 2016-12-09)
Mediator-associated kinases CDK8/19 are context-dependent drivers or suppressors of tumorigenesis. Their inhibition is predicted to have pleiotropic effects, but it is unclear whether this will impact on the clinical utility ...
Inhibition of mTOR-kinase destabilizes MYCN and is a potential therapy for MYCN-dependent tumors.
(IMPACT JOURNALS LLC, 2016-09-06)
MYC oncoproteins deliver a potent oncogenic stimulus in several human cancers, making them major targets for drug development, but efforts to deliver clinically practical therapeutics have not yet been realized. In childhood ...
Cells Lacking the RB1 Tumor Suppressor Gene Are Hyperdependent on Aurora B Kinase for Survival.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2019-02-01)
Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) accounts for 15% of lung cancers and is almost always linked to inactivating RB1 and TP53 mutations. SCLC frequently responds, albeit briefly, to chemotherapy. The canonical function of the ...
GENCODE reference annotation for the human and mouse genomes.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2019-01-08)
The accurate identification and description of the genes in the human and mouse genomes is a fundamental requirement for high quality analysis of data informing both genome biology and clinical genomics. Over the last 15 ...
RIPK1 and Caspase-8 Ensure Chromosome Stability Independently of Their Role in Cell Death and Inflammation.
(CELL PRESS, 2019-02-07)
Receptor-interacting protein kinase (RIPK) 1 functions as a key mediator of tissue homeostasis via formation of Caspase-8 activating ripoptosome complexes, positively and negatively regulating apoptosis, necroptosis, and ...
The anticonvulsive Phenhydan® suppresses extrinsic cell death.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2019-09-01)
Different forms of regulated cell death-like apoptosis and necroptosis contribute to the pathophysiology of clinical conditions including ischemia-reperfusion injury, myocardial infarction, sepsis, and multiple sclerosis. ...
Macrophage-Derived IL1β and TNFα Regulate Arginine Metabolism in Neuroblastoma.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2019-02-01)
Neuroblastoma is the most common childhood solid tumor, yet the prognosis for high-risk disease remains poor. We demonstrate here that arginase 2 (ARG2) drives neuroblastoma cell proliferation via regulation of arginine ...
DNA methylation of shelf, shore and open sea CpG positions distinguish high microsatellite instability from low or stable microsatellite status colon cancer stem cells.
(FUTURE MEDICINE LTD, 2019-05-01)
Aim: To investigate the genome-wide methylation of genetically characterized colorectal cancer stem cell (CR-CSC) lines. Materials & methods: Eight CR-CSC lines were isolated from primary colorectal cancer (CRC) tissues, ...
ATR Inhibition Potentiates the Radiation-induced Inflammatory Tumor Microenvironment.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2019-06-01)
PURPOSE: ATR inhibitors (ATRi) are in early phase clinical trials and have been shown to sensitize to chemotherapy and radiotherapy preclinically. Limited data have been published about the effect of these drugs on the ...
The immunological consequences of radiation-induced DNA damage.
(WILEY, 2019-04-01)
Historically, our understanding of the cytotoxicity of radiation has centred on tumour cell-autonomous mechanisms of cell death. Here, tumour cell death occurs when a threshold number of radiation-induced non-reparable ...
