Epigenome-wide association study of body mass index, and the adverse outcomes of adiposity
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2017-01-01)
Approximately 1.5 billion people worldwide are overweight or affected by obesity, and are at risk of developing type (2) diabetes, cardiovascular disease and related metabolic and inflammatory disturbances(1,2). Although ...
Loss of MMP-8 in ductal carcinoma in situ ( DCIS)-associated myoepithelial cells contributes to tumour promotion through altered adhesive and proteolytic function
(2017-01-01)
Background: Normal myoepithelial cells (MECs) play an important tumour-suppressor role in the breast but display an altered phenotype in ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), gaining tumour-promoter functions. Matrix ...
Obligatory and facilitative allelic variation in the DNA methylome within common disease-associated loci
(2018-01-01)
Integrating epigenetic data with genome-wide association study (GWAS) results can reveal disease mechanisms. The genome sequence itself also shapes the epigenome, with CpG density and transcription factor binding sites ...
miRNA Profiles as a Predictor of Chemoresponsiveness in Wilms' Tumor Blastema
(2013-01-01)
The current SIOP treatment protocol for Wilms' tumor involves pre-operative chemotherapy followed by nephrectomy. Not all patients benefit equally from such chemotherapy. The aim of this study was to generate a miRNA profile ...
Synthesis and profiling of a 3-aminopyridin-2-one-based kinase targeted fragment library: Identification of 3-amino-5-(pyridin-4-yl)pyridin-2(1H)-one scaffold for monopolar spindle 1 (MPS1) and Aurora kinases inhibition.
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2018-07-15)
Screening a 3-aminopyridin-2-one based fragment library against a 26-kinase panel representative of the human kinome identified 3-amino-5-(1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)pyridin-2(1H)-one (2) and 3-amino-5-(pyridin-4-yl)pyridi ...
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 ...
Docetaxel Treatment in PTEN- and ERG-aberrant Metastatic Prostate Cancers.
(ELSEVIER, 2018-05-01)
BACKGROUND: Loss of PTEN is a common genomic aberration in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) and is frequently concurrent with ERG rearrangements, causing resistance to next-generation hormonal treatment (NGHT) ...
The long non-coding RNA HOTAIR is transcriptionally activated by HOXA9 and is an independent prognostic marker in patients with malignant glioma.
(Impact Journals, LLC, 2018-03-20)
The lncRNA HOTAIR has been implicated in several human cancers. Here, we evaluated the molecular alterations and upstream regulatory mechanisms of HOTAIR in glioma, the most common primary brain tumors, and its clinical ...
DNA Copy Number Aberrations, and Human Papillomavirus Status in Penile Carcinoma. Clinico-Pathological Correlations and Potential Driver Genes
(2016-01-01)
Penile squamous cell carcinoma is a rare disease, in which somatic genetic aberrations have yet to be characterized. We hypothesized that gene copy aberrations might correlate with human papillomavirus status and ...
Focal Adhesion Kinase (FAK) tyrosine 397E mutation restores the vascular leakage defect in endothelium‐specific FAK‐kinase dead mice
(Wiley, 2017-07-01)
<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Focal adhesion kinase (<jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">FAK</jats:styled-content>) inhibitors have been developed as potential anticancer agents and are undergoing clinical ...
