Mig6 Is a Sensor of EGF Receptor Inactivation that Directly Activates c-Abl to Induce Apoptosis during Epithelial Homeostasis
(CELL PRESS, 2012-09-11)A fundamental aspect of epithelial homeostasis is the dependence on specific growth factors for cell survival, yet the underlying mechanisms remain obscure. We found an “inverse” mode of receptor tyrosine kinase signaling ... -
Mir143 expression inversely correlates with nuclear ERK5 immunoreactivity in clinical prostate cancer
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2013-01-15)Background: Aberrant mitogen/extracellular signal-regulated kinase 5 (MEK5)-extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase 5 (ERK5)-mediated signalling has been implicated in a number of tumour types including prostate ... -
Modulation of Plasma Metabolite Biomarkers of the MAPK Pathway with MEK Inhibitor RO4987655: Pharmacodynamic and Predictive Potential in Metastatic Melanoma.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2017-10-01)MAPK pathway activation is frequently observed in human malignancies, including melanoma, and is associated with sensitivity to MEK inhibition and changes in cellular metabolism. Using quantitative mass spectrometry-based ... -
MoKCa database--mutations of kinases in cancer.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2009-01-01)Members of the protein kinase family are amongst the most commonly mutated genes in human cancer, and both mutated and activated protein kinases have proved to be tractable targets for the development of new anticancer ... -
Molecular profiling and combinatorial activity of CCT068127: a potent CDK2 and CDK9 inhibitor.
(WILEY, 2018-03-01)Deregulation of the cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of multiple cancer types. Consequently, CDKs have garnered intense interest as therapeutic targets for the treatment of cancer. ... -
Monophosphothreonyl extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1/2) are formed endogenously in intact cardiac myocytes and are enzymically active
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2011-02)ERK1 and ERK2 (ERK1/2) are central to the regulation of cell division, growth and survival. They are activated by phosphorylation of the Thr- and the Tyr- residues in their Thr-Glu-Tyr activation loops. The dogma is that ... -
Multidisciplinary interventions in a specialist Drug Development Unit to improve family history documentation and onward referral of patients with advanced cancer to cancer genetics services.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2019-06-01)BACKGROUND: Molecular aberrations in cancer may represent therapeutic targets, and, if arising from the germline, may impact further cancer risk management in patients and their blood relatives. Annually, 600-700 patients ... -
Multigene expression of protein complexes by iterative modification of genomic Bacmid DNA
(BIOMED CENTRAL LTD, 2009-09-02)Background: Many cellular multi-protein complexes are naturally present in cells at low abundance. Baculovirus expression offers one approach to produce milligram quantities of correctly folded and processed eukaryotic ... -
Neutrophil to Lymphocyte Ratio in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer Patients Treated With Daily Oral Corticosteroids.
(CIG MEDIA GROUP, LP, 2017-12-01)BACKGROUND: The neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has been shown to be highly prognostic across many tumor types, and predictive of treatment outcome in advanced prostate cancer, and has been postulated to be an indirect ... -
Neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio kinetics in patients with advanced solid tumours on phase I trials of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2018-01-01)BACKGROUND: Although the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is prognostic in many oncological settings, its significance in the immunotherapy era is unknown. Mechanistically, PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors may alter NLR. We sought ... -
Nine-year Follow-up for a Study of Diffusion-weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging in a Prospective Prostate Cancer Active Surveillance Cohort.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2016-06-01)BACKGROUND: In active surveillance (AS) for prostate cancer there are few data on long-term outcomes associated with novel imaging markers. OBJECTIVE: To determine long-term outcomes with respect to the apparent diffusion ... -
No clinical utility of KRAS variant rs61764370 for ovarian or breast cancer.
(ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCE, 2016-05-01)OBJECTIVE: Clinical genetic testing is commercially available for rs61764370, an inherited variant residing in a KRAS 3' UTR microRNA binding site, based on suggested associations with increased ovarian and breast cancer ... -
NRG Oncology Updated International Consensus Atlas on Pelvic Lymph Node Volumes for Intact and Postoperative Prostate Cancer.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2021-01-01)PURPOSE: In 2009, the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) genitourinary members published a consensus atlas for contouring prostate pelvic nodal clinical target volumes (CTVs). Data have emerged further informing nodal ... -
Older Age, Early Symptoms and Physical Function are Associated with the Severity of Late Symptom Clusters for Men Undergoing Radiotherapy for Prostate Cancer.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE LONDON, 2018-06-01)AIMS: To identify symptom clusters and predisposing factors associated with long-term symptoms and health-related quality of life after radiotherapy in men with prostate cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patient-reported ... -
Oncogenic KRAS Regulates Tumor Cell Signaling via Stromal Reciprocation.
(CELL PRESS, 2016-06-16)Oncogenic mutations regulate signaling within both tumor cells and adjacent stromal cells. Here, we show that oncogenic KRAS (KRAS(G12D)) also regulates tumor cell signaling via stromal cells. By combining cell-specific ... -
