Metabolic biomarkers of response to the AKT inhibitor MK-2206 in pre-clinical models of human colorectal and prostate carcinoma.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-10-30)
BACKGROUND: AKT is commonly overexpressed in tumours and plays an important role in the metabolic reprogramming of cancer. We have used magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) to assess whether inhibition of AKT signalling ...
The long-term prognostic and predictive capacity of cyclin D1 gene amplification in 2305 breast tumours.
(BMC, 2019-02-28)
BACKGROUND: Use of cyclin D1 (CCND1) gene amplification as a breast cancer biomarker has been hampered by conflicting assessments of the relationship between cyclin D1 protein levels and patient survival. Here, we aimed ...
Histone H3.3K27M Mobilizes Multiple Cancer/Testis (CT) Antigens in Pediatric Glioma.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2018-04-01)
Lysine to methionine mutations at position 27 (K27M) in the histone H3 (H3.3 and H3.1) are highly prevalent in pediatric high-grade gliomas (HGG) that arise in the midline of the central nervous system. H3K27M perturbs the ...
Rational design of non-resistant targeted cancer therapies.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2017-04-24)
Drug resistance is one of the major problems in targeted cancer therapy. A major cause of resistance is changes in the amino acids that form the drug-target binding site. Despite of the numerous efforts made to individually ...
AMPK-independent inhibition of human macrophage ER stress response by AICAR.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2016-08-26)
Obesity-associated insulin resistance is driven by inflammatory processes in response to metabolic overload. Obesity-associated inflammation can be recapitulated in cell culture by exposing macrophages to saturated fatty ...
A non-cell autonomous mouse model of CNS haemangioblastoma mediated by mutant KRAS.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2017-03-21)
Haemangioblastoma is a rare malignancy of the CNS where vascular proliferation causes lesions due to endothelial propagation. We found that conditionally expressing mutant Kras, using Rag1-Cre, gave rise to CNS haemangioblastoma ...
Intracellular immunization against HIV infection with an intracellular antibody that mimics HIV integrase binding to the cellular LEDGF protein.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2017-12-04)
Preventing the protein-protein interaction of the cellular chromatin binding protein Lens Epithelium-Derived Growth Factor (LEDGF) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) integrase is an important possible strategy for ...
The international diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma registry: an infrastructure to accelerate collaborative research for an orphan disease.
(SPRINGER, 2017-04-01)
Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG), a rare, often fatal childhood brain tumor, remains a major therapeutic challenge. In 2012, investigators, funded by the DIPG Collaborative (a philanthropic partnership among 29 ...
A fragment-based approach applied to a highly flexible target: Insights and challenges towards the inhibition of HSP70 isoforms.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2016-10-06)
The heat shock protein 70s (HSP70s) are molecular chaperones implicated in many cancers and of significant interest as targets for novel cancer therapies. Several HSP70 inhibitors have been reported, but because the majority ...
Targeting Bromodomain and Extra-Terminal (BET) Family Proteins in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (CRPC).
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2018-07-01)
Purpose: Persistent androgen receptor (AR) signaling drives castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) and confers resistance to AR-targeting therapies. Novel therapeutic strategies to overcome this are urgently required. ...
