Gustatory function following radiotherapy to the head and neck
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-11-30)An intact sense of taste provides pleasure, supports sustenance and alerts the body to potential toxins. Patients with head and neck (HNC) who undergo radiotherapy (RT) are at high risk of developing acute and late taste ... -
Harnessing radiotherapy-induced NK-cell activity by combining DNA damage-response inhibition and immune checkpoint blockade.
(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2022-03-01)BACKGROUND: Despite therapeutic gains from immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) in many tumor types, new strategies are needed to extend treatment benefits, especially in patients failing to mount effective antitumor T-cell ... -

HER3-Mediated Resistance to Hsp90 Inhibition Detected in Breast Cancer Xenografts by Affibody-Based PET Imaging.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2018-04-15)Purpose: Recent studies have highlighted a role of HER3 in HER2-driven cancers (e.g., breast cancer), implicating the upregulation of the receptor in resistance to HER-targeted therapies and Hsp90 inhibitors (e.g., AUY922). ... -
High-Level Clonal FGFR Amplification and Response to FGFR Inhibition in a Translational Clinical Trial.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2016-08-01)UNLABELLED: FGFR1 and FGFR2 are amplified in many tumor types, yet what determines response to FGFR inhibition in amplified cancers is unknown. In a translational clinical trial, we show that gastric cancers with high-level ... -
Histone isoforms and the oncohistone code.
(CURRENT BIOLOGY LTD, 2020-12-04)Recent studies have highlighted the potential for missense mutations in histones to act as oncogenic drivers, leading to the term 'oncohistones'. While histone proteins are highly conserved, they are encoded by multigene ... -
HMGB1 Protein Interactions in Prostate and Ovary Cancer Models Reveal Links to RNA Processing and Ribosome Biogenesis through NuRD, THOC and Septin Complexes.
(MDPI, 2021-09-18)This study reports the HMGB1 interactomes in prostate and ovary cancer cells lines. Affinity purification coupled to mass spectrometry confirmed that the HMGB1 nuclear interactome is involved in HMGB1 known functions such ... -
Homogeneous 2D and 3D alignment of cardiomyocyte in dilated cardiomyopathy revealed by intravital heart imaging.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2021-07-19)In contrast to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, there has been reported no specific pattern of cardiomyocyte array in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), partially because lack of alignment assessment in a three-dimensional (3D) ... -
How RhoGEFs drive triple negative breast cancer cell invasion through the activation of YAP and TAZ
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2020-03-31)Dynamical remodelling of the cytoskeleton is essential for triple negative breast cancer metastasis (TNBC). Cell shape is regulated by RhoGEFs which activate Rho GTPases resulting in changes in actin polymerisation, ... -
HOX genes promote cell proliferation and are potential therapeutic targets in adrenocortical tumours.
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2021-02-16)BACKGROUND: Understanding the pathways that drive adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is essential to the development of more effective therapies. This study investigates the role of the transcription factor HOXB9 and other HOX ... -
HPV-Related Oropharynx Cancer in the United Kingdom: An Evolution in the Understanding of Disease Etiology.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2016-11-15)A rising incidence of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) incidence has occurred throughout the developed world, where it has been attributed to an increasing impact of human papillomavirus (HPV) on disease ... -
HSP90 inhibition sensitizes head and neck cancer to platin-based chemoradiotherapy by modulation of the DNA damage response resulting in chromosomal fragmentation.
(BIOMED CENTRAL LTD, 2017-01-31)BACKGROUND: Concurrent cisplatin radiotherapy (CCRT) is a current standard-of-care for locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). However, CCRT is frequently ineffective in patients with advanced ... -
Hypofractionated radiotherapy versus conventionally fractionated radiotherapy for patients with intermediate-risk localised prostate cancer: 2-year patient-reported outcomes of the randomised, non-inferiority, phase 3 CHHiP trial.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2015-12-01)BACKGROUND: Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) might detect more toxic effects of radiotherapy than do clinician-reported outcomes. We did a quality of life (QoL) substudy to assess PROs up to 24 months after conventionally ... -
Hypoxic Environment and Paired Hierarchical 3D and 2D Models of Pediatric H3.3-Mutated Gliomas Recreate the Patient Tumor Complexity.
(MDPI, 2019-11-26)BACKGROUND: Pediatric high-grade gliomas (pHGGs) are facing a very dismal prognosis and representative pre-clinical models are needed for new treatment strategies. Here, we examined the relevance of collecting functional, ... -
Identification of clinically predictive metagenes that encode components of a network coupling cell shape to transcription by image-omics.
(COLD SPRING HARBOR LAB PRESS, PUBLICATIONS DEPT, 2017-02-01)The associations between clinical phenotypes (tumor grade, survival) and cell phenotypes, such as shape, signaling activity, and gene expression, are the basis for cancer pathology, but the mechanisms explaining these ... -
Identification of phenotype-specific networks from paired gene expression-cell shape imaging data.
(COLD SPRING HARBOR LAB PRESS, PUBLICATIONS DEPT, 2022-04-01)The morphology of breast cancer cells is often used as an indicator of tumor severity and prognosis. Additionally, morphology can be used to identify more fine-grained, molecular developments within a cancer cell, such as ... -
