Investigating the Contribution of Collagen to the Tumor Biomechanical Phenotype with Noninvasive Magnetic Resonance Elastography.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2019-11-15)
Increased stiffness in the extracellular matrix (ECM) contributes to tumor progression and metastasis. Therefore, stromal modulating therapies and accompanying biomarkers are being developed to target ECM stiffness. Magnetic ...
Androgen receptor splice variant-7 expression emerges with castration resistance in prostate cancer.
(AMER SOC CLINICAL INVESTIGATION INC, 2019-01-02)
BACKGROUND: Liquid biopsies have demonstrated that the constitutively active androgen receptor splice variant-7 (AR-V7) associates with reduced response and overall survival from endocrine therapies in castration-resistant ...
Single cell analysis of clonal architecture in acute myeloid leukaemia.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2019-05-01)
We used single cell Q-PCR on a micro-fluidic platform (Fluidigm) to analyse clonal, genetic architecture and phylogeny in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) using selected mutations. Ten cases of NPM1c mutant AML were screened ...
Data-driven mapping of hypoxia-related tumor heterogeneity using DCE-MRI and OE-MRI.
(WILEY, 2018-04-01)
PURPOSE: Previous work has shown that combining dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE)-MRI and oxygen-enhanced (OE)-MRI binary enhancement maps can identify tumor hypoxia. The current work proposes a novel, data-driven method for ...
Olaparib and temozolomide in desmoplastic small round cell tumors: a promising combination in vitro and in vivo.
(SPRINGER, 2020-07-01)
PURPOSE: Desmoplastic small round cell tumors (DSRCTs) are highly malignant and very rare soft tissue sarcomas with a high unmet need for new therapeutic options. Therefore, we examined poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) ...
Oxygen-enhanced MRI Is Feasible, Repeatable, and Detects Radiotherapy-induced Change in Hypoxia in Xenograft Models and in Patients with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2019-07-01)
PURPOSE: Hypoxia is associated with poor prognosis and is predictive of poor response to cancer treatments, including radiotherapy. Developing noninvasive biomarkers that both detect hypoxia prior to treatment and track ...
A new method for the high-precision assessment of tumor changes in response to treatment.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2018-08-01)
MOTIVATION: Imaging demonstrates that preclinical and human tumors are heterogeneous, i.e. a single tumor can exhibit multiple regions that behave differently during both development and also in response to treatment. The ...
A Biobank of Breast Cancer Explants with Preserved Intra-tumor Heterogeneity to Screen Anticancer Compounds.
(CELL PRESS, 2016-09-22)
The inter- and intra-tumor heterogeneity of breast cancer needs to be adequately captured in pre-clinical models. We have created a large collection of breast cancer patient-derived tumor xenografts (PDTXs), in which the ...
Shieldin complex promotes DNA end-joining and counters homologous recombination in BRCA1-null cells.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-08-01)
BRCA1 deficiencies cause breast, ovarian, prostate and other cancers, and render tumours hypersensitive to poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors. To understand the resistance mechanisms, we conducted whole-genome ...
Chlorambucil targets BRCA1/2-deficient tumours and counteracts PARP inhibitor resistance.
(WILEY, 2019-07-01)
Due to compromised homologous recombination (HR) repair, BRCA1- and BRCA2-mutated tumours accumulate DNA damage and genomic rearrangements conducive of tumour progression. To identify drugs that target specifically ...
