Polypharmacology in Precision Oncology: Current Applications and Future Prospects.
(BENTHAM SCIENCE PUBL LTD, 2017-01-24)Over the past decade, a more comprehensive, large-scale approach to studying cancer genetics and biology has revealed the challenges of tumor heterogeneity, adaption, evolution and drug resistance, while systems-based ... -
PPM1D mutations are oncogenic drivers of de novo diffuse midline glioma formation.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2022-02-01)The role of PPM1D mutations in de novo gliomagenesis has not been systematically explored. Here we analyze whole genome sequences of 170 pediatric high-grade gliomas and find that truncating mutations in PPM1D that increase ... -
PPM1D mutations silence NAPRT gene expression and confer NAMPT inhibitor sensitivity in glioma.
(NATURE RESEARCH, 2019-08-22)Pediatric high-grade gliomas are among the deadliest of childhood cancers due to limited knowledge of early driving events in their gliomagenesis and the lack of effective therapies available. In this study, we investigate ... -
Pre-clinical imaging of transgenic mouse models of neuroblastoma using a dedicated 3-element solenoid coil on a clinical 3T platform.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017-09-05)BACKGROUND: The use of clinical MRI scanners to conduct pre-clinical research facilitates comparisons with clinical studies. Here the utility and sensitivity of anatomical and functional MRI data/biomarkers acquired from ... -
Pre-clinical quantitative imaging and mouse-specific dosimetry for 111In-labelled radiotracers.
(SPRINGER HEIDELBERG, 2016-11-25)BACKGROUND: Accurate quantification in molecular imaging is essential to improve the assessment of novel drugs and compare the radiobiological effects of therapeutic agents prior to in-human studies. The aim of this study ... -
Precision genomics for prostate cancer patient stratification
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2020-10-31)Introduction Several unmet needs currently persist in advanced prostate cancers. Despite recent discoveries, such as identification of deficient DNA repair pathways as a key driver of prostate tumour development, relatively ... -
Precision-Cut Tumor Slices (PCTS) as an Ex Vivo Model in Immunotherapy Research.
(MDPI, 2022-04-06)Precision-cut tumor slices (PCTS) have recently emerged as important ex vivo human tumor models, offering the opportunity to study individual patient responses to targeted immunotherapies, including CAR-T cell therapies. ... -
Preclinical Evidence That Trametinib Enhances the Response to Antiangiogenic Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors in Renal Cell Carcinoma.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2016-01-01)Sunitinib and pazopanib are antiangiogenic tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) used to treat metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC). However, the ability of these drugs to extend progression-free and overall survival in this ... -
A preclinical model to investigate the role of surgically-induced inflammation in tumor responses to intraoperative photodynamic therapy.
(WILEY, 2018-07-01)OBJECTIVE: Inflammation is a well-known consequence of surgery. Although surgical debulking of tumor is beneficial to patients, the onset of inflammation in injured tissue may impede the success of adjuvant therapies. One ... -
Preclinical transgenic and patient-derived xenograft models recapitulate the radiological features of human adamantinomatous craniopharyngioma.
(WILEY, 2018-07-01)To assess the clinical relevance of transgenic and patient-derived xenograft models of adamantinomatous craniopharyngioma (ACP) using serial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and high resolution post-mortem microcomputed ... -
Preclinical trial of a MAP4K4 inhibitor to reduce infarct size in the pig: does cardioprotection in human stem cell-derived myocytes predict success in large mammals?
(SPRINGER HEIDELBERG, 2021-05-20)Reducing infarct size (IS) by interfering with mechanisms for cardiomyocyte death remains an elusive goal. DMX-5804, a selective inhibitor of the stress-activated kinase MAP4K4, suppresses cell death in mouse myocardial ... -
Prediction of outcome in newly diagnosed myeloma: a meta-analysis of the molecular profiles of 1905 trial patients.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-01-01)Robust establishment of survival in multiple myeloma (MM) and its relationship to recurrent genetic aberrations is required as outcomes are variable despite apparent similar staging. We assayed copy number alterations (CNA) ... -
Preparation of tyrosine amide derivatives as Rho-kinase inhibitors
(2018-08-02)The invention relates to compds. of formula I and pharmaceutically acceptable salts and solvates thereof (wherein X1 and X2 are independently CH and N; p = 1 - 3; each R when present is halo; R0 and R1 are independently ... -
Presence of human breast cancer xenograft changes the diurnal profile of amino acids in mice.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2022-01-19)Human xenografts are extremely useful models to study the biology of human cancers and the effects of novel potential therapies. Deregulation of metabolism, including changes in amino acids (AAs), is a common characteristic ... -
The prevalence and outcomes of frail older adults in clinical trials in multiple myeloma: A systematic review.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2023-01-05)Multiple myeloma (MM) is an incurable blood cancer that primarily affects older adults. Several frailty tools have been developed to address the heterogeneity of aging in this population. Uptake of these measures has been ... -
Privileged Structures and Polypharmacology within and between Protein Families.
(AMER CHEMICAL SOC, 2018-12-13)Polypharmacology is often a key contributor to the efficacy of a drug, but is also a potential risk. We investigated two hits discovered via a cell-based phenotypic screen, the CDK9 inhibitor CCT250006 (1) and the pirin ... -
