Loss of P16(INK4a) results in increased glucocorticoid receptor activity during fibrosarcoma development
(NATL ACAD SCIENCES, 2003-03-18)‘Glucocorticoids inhibit proliferation of many cell types, but the relationship between the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) and the proteins regulating cell cycle progression is not fully understood. We previously found that ... -
Glucocorticoids inhibit apoptosis during fibrosarcoma development by transcriptionally activating Bcl-x(L)
(AMER SOC BIOCHEMISTRY MOLECULAR BIOLOGY INC, 2003-05-16)Glucocorticoids influence many physiological processes, and in particular apoptosis, often with opposite effects depending on the cell type examined. We found that during fibrosarcoma development there is a strong increase ... -
Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus-infected primary effusion lymphoma has a gene expression profile
(2003-09-02)Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus is associated with three human tumors: Kaposi’s sarcoma, and the B cell lymphomas, plasmablastic lymphoma associated with multicentric Castleman’s disease, and primary effusion ... -
Risk factors for adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix in women aged 20-44 years: the UK National Case-Control Study of Cervical Cancer
(2003-12-01)We report results on risk factors for invasive squamous cell and adenocarcinomas of the cervix in women aged 20-44 years from the UK National Case-Control Study of Cervical Cancer, including 180 women with adenocarcinoma, ... -
Variation in RNA expression and genomic DNA content acquired during cell culture
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2004-02-26)Specific chromosomal abnormalities are increasingly recognised to be associated with particular tumour subtypes. These cytogenetic abnormalities define the sites of specific genes, the alteration of which is implicated in ... -
Cervical HPV infection and neoplasia in a large population-based prospective study: the Manchester cohort
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2004-08-31)Cytology and histology records and cervical samples for HPV assay were obtained from a prospective cohort of 49 655 women attending clinics for routine cervical cytology in or near Manchester between 1988 and 1993. The ... -
The expected burden of mesothelioma mortality in Great Britain from 2002 to 2050
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2005-02-14)The British mesothelioma register contains all deaths from 1968 to 2001 where mesothelioma was mentioned on the death certificate. These data were used to predict the future burden of mesothelioma mortality in Great Britain. ... -
The evolutionary landscape of colorectal tumorigenesis.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2018-10-01)The evolutionary events that cause colorectal adenomas (benign) to progress to carcinomas (malignant) remain largely undetermined. Using multi-region genome and exome sequencing of 24 benign and malignant colorectal tumours, ... -
The Influence of Antireflux Surgery on Esophageal Cancer Risk in England: National Population-based Cohort Study.
(2018-11)Objective To evaluate how antireflux surgery influences the risk of esophageal cancer in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and Barrett esophagus.Background GERD is a major risk factor for esophageal ... -
Body fatness and physical activity at young ages and the risk of breast cancer in premenopausal women
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2005-10-03)We examined the relationship between body fatness, sports participation and breast cancer risk in 1560 premenopausal cases and 1548 controls, from three related population-based case - control studies in the UK. Half of ... -
HPV testing in routine cervical screening: cross sectional data from the ARTISTIC trial
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2006-07-03)To evaluate the effectiveness of human papillomavirus (HPV) testing in primary cervical screening. This was a cross-sectional study from the recruitment phase of a prospective randomised trial. Women were screened for HPV ... -
Meis1 is an essential and rate-limiting regulator of MLL leukemia stem cell potential
(COLD SPRING HARBOR LAB PRESS, PUBLICATIONS DEPT, 2007-11-01)Oncogenic mutations of the MLL histone methyltransferase confer an unusual ability to transform non-self-renewing myeloid progenitors into leukemia stem cells (LSCs) by mechanisms that remain poorly defined. Misregulation ... -
Functional characterization of E- and P-cadherin in invasive breast cancer cells
(BIOMED CENTRAL LTD, 2009-03-03)Background: Alterations in the cadherin-catenin adhesion complexes are involved in tumor initiation, progression and metastasis. However, the functional implication of distinct cadherin types in breast cancer biology is ... -
Epstein-Barr Virus Latency in B Cells Leads to Epigenetic Repression and CpG Methylation of the Tumour Suppressor Gene Bim
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2009-06)In human B cells infected with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), latency-associated virus gene products inhibit expression of the proapoptotic Bcl-2-family member Bim and enhance cell survival. This involves the activities of the ... -
Occupational, domestic and environmental mesothelioma risks in the British population: a case-control study
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2009-03-31)We obtained lifetime occupational and residential histories by telephone interview with 622 mesothelioma patients (512 men, 110 women) and 1420 population controls. Odds ratios (ORs) were converted to lifetime risk (LR) ... -
Optimal Threshold for a Positive Hybrid Capture 2 Test for Detection of Human Papillomavirus: Data from the ARTISTIC Trial
(AMER SOC MICROBIOLOGY, 2010-02)We present data on the use of the Hybrid Capture 2 (HC2) test for the detection of high-risk human papillomavirus (HR HPV) with different thresholds for positivity within a primary screening setting and as a method of ... -
A Pocket on the Surface of the N-Terminal BRCT Domain of Mcph1 Is Required to Prevent Abnormal Chromosome Condensation
(ACADEMIC PRESS LTD- ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2010-02-05)Mcph1 is mutated in autosomal recessive primary microcephaly and premature chromosome condensation (PCC) syndrome. Increased chromosome condensation is a common feature of cells isolated from patients afflicted with either ... -
ELM: the status of the 2010 eukaryotic linear motif resource.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2010-01-01)Linear motifs are short segments of multidomain proteins that provide regulatory functions independently of protein tertiary structure. Much of intracellular signalling passes through protein modifications at linear motifs. ... -
