Combined MYC and P53 defects emerge at medulloblastoma relapse and define rapidly progressive, therapeutically targetable disease.
(CELL PRESS, 2015-01-12)We undertook a comprehensive clinical and biological investigation of serial medulloblastoma biopsies obtained at diagnosis and relapse. Combined MYC family amplifications and P53 pathway defects commonly emerged at relapse, ... -
Combined Pan-RAF and MEK Inhibition Overcomes Multiple Resistance Mechanisms to Selective RAF Inhibitors.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2015-12-01)RAF and MEK inhibitors are effective in BRAF-mutant melanoma but not in BRAF-mutant colorectal cancer. To gain additional insights into this difference, we performed a genome-scale pooled shRNA enhancer screen in a ... -
Combined targeting of MEK and the glucocorticoid receptor for the treatment of RAS-mutant multiple myeloma.
(BMC, 2020-03-30)BACKGROUND: Multiple myeloma (MM) remains incurable despite recent therapeutic advances. RAS mutations are frequently associated with relapsed/refractory disease. Efforts to target the mitogen-activated protein kinase ... -
Combining DNA damaging therapeutics with immunotherapy: more haste, less speed.
(2018-02)The idea that chemotherapy can be used in combination with immunotherapy may seem somewhat counterproductive, as it can theoretically eliminate the immune cells needed for antitumour immunity. However, much preclinical ... -
Combining large scale in silico analysis with fragment screening to identify novel, ligandable secondary sites in cancer-associated proteins
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2020-01-31)Proteins often have multiple binding sites involved in interactions with other molecules. The majority of currently approved drugs bind a protein's primary site, the major functional site in the protein. Targeting the ... -
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 ... -
Combining Mutational Signatures, Clonal Fitness, and Drug Affinity to Define Drug-Specific Resistance Mutations in Cancer.
(CELL PRESS, 2018-11-15)The emergence of mutations that confer resistance to molecularly targeted therapeutics is dependent upon the effect of each mutation on drug affinity for the target protein, the clonal fitness of cells harboring the mutation, ... -
Comparative methylome analysis identifies new tumour subtypes and biomarkers for transformation of nephrogenic rests into Wilms tumour
(2015-02-01)Background: Wilms tumours (WTs) are characterised by several hallmarks that suggest epimutations such as aberrant DNA methylation are involved in tumour progression: loss of imprinting at 11p15, lack of recurrent mutations ... -
Competitive SPR using an intracellular anti-LMO2 antibody identifies novel LMO2-interacting compounds.
(ELSEVIER, 2021-03-29)The use of intracellular antibodies as templates to derive surrogate compounds is an important objective because intracellular antibodies can be employed initially for target validation in pre-clinical assays and subsequently ... -
Complications of hyperglycaemia with PI3K-AKT-mTOR inhibitors in patients with advanced solid tumours on Phase I clinical trials.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2015-12-01)BACKGROUND: PI3K-AKT-mTOR inhibitors (PAMi) are promising anticancer treatments. Hyperglycaemia is a mechanism-based toxicity of these agents and is becoming increasingly important with their use in larger numbers of ... -
COMPOUNDS AND THEIR USES
(2013-02-21)The invention provides a compound that is an inhibitor of one or both of TBK1 and IKKe, or a down-regulator of the expression of one or both of TBK1 and IKKe, for use in a method of treating a cancer that is dependent on ... -
Comprehensive molecular characterisation of epilepsy-associated glioneuronal tumours.
(SPRINGER, 2018-01-01)Glioneuronal tumours are an important cause of treatment-resistant epilepsy. Subtypes of tumour are often poorly discriminated by histological features and may be difficult to diagnose due to a lack of robust diagnostic ... -
Consensus Statement on Circulating Biomarkers for Advanced Prostate Cancer.
(ELSEVIER, 2018-06-01)CONTEXT: In advanced prostate cancer (PC), there is increasing investigation of circulating biomarkers, including quantitation and characterization of circulating tumour cells and cell-free nucleic acids, for therapeutic ... -
Copy Number Profiling of Brazilian Astrocytomas.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS INC, 2016-07-07)Copy number alterations (CNA) are one of the driving mechanisms of glioma tumorigenesis, and are currently used as important biomarkers in the routine setting. Therefore, we performed CNA profiling of 65 astrocytomas of ... -
Critical parameters in targeted drug development: the pharmacological audit trail.
(W B SAUNDERS CO-ELSEVIER INC, 2016-08-01)The Pharmacological Audit Trail (PhAT) comprises a set of critical questions that need to be asked during discovery and development of an anticancer drug. Key aspects include: (1) defining a patient population; (2) ... -
Crystal structure of an Aurora-A mutant that mimics Aurora-B bound to MLN8054: insights into selectivity and drug design
(2010-01-01)The production of selective protein kinase inhibitors is often frustrated by the similarity of the enzyme active sites. For this reason, it is challenging to design inhibitors that discriminate between the three Aurora ... -
CSN and CAVA: variant annotation tools for rapid, robust next-generation sequencing analysis in the clinical setting.
(BMC, 2015-07-28)BACKGROUND: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) offers unprecedented opportunities to expand clinical genomics. It also presents challenges with respect to integration with data from other sequencing methods and historical ... -
Current Advances in CAR T Cell Therapy for Malignant Mesothelioma.
(Scientific Archives LLC, 2020-06-22)Malignant mesothelioma is a relatively rare malignancy arising in the body's serosal surfaces, with malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) being the most common type. It is characterized by local spread within the thorax, ... -
Cyclin-Dependent Kinase Inhibitor AT7519 as a Potential Drug for MYCN-Dependent Neuroblastoma.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2015-11-15)PURPOSE: MYCN-dependent neuroblastomas have low cure rates with current multimodal treatment regimens and novel therapeutic drugs are therefore urgently needed. In previous preclinical studies, we have shown that targeted ...
