Combine and conquer: challenges for targeted therapy combinations in early phase trials.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017-01-01)
Our increasing understanding of cancer biology has led to the development of molecularly targeted anticancer drugs. The full potential of these agents has not, however, been realised, owing to the presence of de novo ...
Regulation of miR-483-3p by the O-linked N-acetylglucosamine transferase links chemosensitivity to glucose metabolism in liver cancer cells.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2017-05-08)
The miR-483-3p is upregulated in several tumors, including liver tumors, where it inhibits TP53-dependent apoptosis by targeting the pro-apoptotic gene BBC3/PUMA. The transcriptional regulation of the miR-483-3p could be ...
Oncolytic Herpes Simplex Virus Inhibits Pediatric Brain Tumor Migration and Invasion.
(CELL PRESS, 2017-06-16)
Pediatric high-grade glioma (pHGG) and diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) are invasive tumors with poor survival. Oncolytic virotherapy, initially devised as a direct cytotoxic treatment, is now also known to act via ...
Effect on Overall Survival of Locoregional Treatment in a Cohort of De Novo Metastatic Prostate Cancer Patients: A Single Institution Retrospective Analysis From the Royal Marsden Hospital.
(CIG MEDIA GROUP, LP, 2017-10-01)
BACKGROUND: The optimal management of the primary tumor in metastatic at diagnosis (M1) prostate cancer (PCa) patients is not yet established. We retrospectively evaluated the effect of locoregional treatment (LRT) on ...
SiGNet: A signaling network data simulator to enable signaling network inference.
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2017-05-17)
Network models are widely used to describe complex signaling systems. Cellular wiring varies in different cellular contexts and numerous inference techniques have been developed to infer the structure of a network from ...
EGFR feedback-inhibition by Ran-binding protein 6 is disrupted in cancer.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017-12-11)
Transport of macromolecules through the nuclear pore by importins and exportins plays a critical role in the spatial regulation of protein activity. How cancer cells co-opt this process to promote tumorigenesis remains ...
Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T Cell Therapy for Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma (MPM).
(MDPI, 2017-09-01)
Cancer immunotherapy has now become a recognized approach to treating cancers. In addition to checkpoint blockade, adoptive T cell transfer (ACT) using chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) has shown impressive clinical outcomes ...
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 ...
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 ...
