Advances in mass spectrometry based strategies to study receptor tyrosine kinases.
(INT UNION CRYSTALLOGRAPHY, 2017-02-23)
Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are key transmembrane environmental sensors that are capable of transmitting extracellular information into phenotypic responses, including cell proliferation, survival and metabolism. ...
PARK2 Depletion Connects Energy and Oxidative Stress to PI3K/Akt Activation via PTEN S-Nitrosylation.
(CELL PRESS, 2017-03-16)
PARK2 is a gene implicated in disease states with opposing responses in cell fate determination, yet its contribution in pro-survival signaling is largely unknown. Here we show that PARK2 is altered in over a third of all ...
Noninvasive Imaging of Cycling Hypoxia in Head and Neck Cancer Using Intrinsic Susceptibility MRI.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2017-08-01)
Purpose: To evaluate intrinsic susceptibility (IS) MRI for the identification of cycling hypoxia, and the assessment of its extent and spatial distribution, in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) xenografts and ...
An orally bioavailable Chk1 inhibitor, CCT244747, sensitizes bladder and head and neck cancer cell lines to radiation.
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2017-03-01)
PURPOSE: Chk1 inhibition increases cell sensitivity to both chemotherapy and radiotherapy in several tumour types and is, therefore, a promising anti-cancer approach. Although several Chk1 inhibitors have been developed, ...
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 ...
Combining Molecularly Targeted Agents: Is More Always Better?
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2017-03-01)
The concurrent targeting of critical nodes along key signaling pathways with molecularly targeted agents is a rational antitumor strategy, which has had varying degrees of success. Combinatorial challenges include overcoming ...
Blood transfusion during radical chemo-radiotherapy does not reduce tumour hypoxia in squamous cell cancer of the head and neck.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017-01-03)
BACKGROUND: Patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) undergoing radical chemo-radiation (CRT) frequently receive transfusion with packed red cells (PRCT) during radiotherapy on the basis that PRCT increases ...
Integrative epigenomics, transcriptomics and proteomics of patient chondrocytes reveal genes and pathways involved in osteoarthritis.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2017-08-21)
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common disease characterized by cartilage degeneration and joint remodeling. The underlying molecular changes underpinning disease progression are incompletely understood. We investigated genes and ...
Activation of the Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor Interferes with Early Embryonic Development.
(CELL PRESS, 2017-10-01)
The transcriptional program of early embryonic development is tightly regulated by a set of well-defined transcription factors that suppress premature expression of differentiation genes and sustain the pluripotent identity. ...
ATR Is a Therapeutic Target in Synovial Sarcoma.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2017-12-15)
Synovial sarcoma (SS) is an aggressive soft-tissue malignancy characterized by expression of SS18-SSX fusions, where treatment options are limited. To identify therapeutically actionable genetic dependencies in SS, we ...
