IGF1R signalling in testicular germ cell tumour cells impacts on cell survival and acquired cisplatin resistance.
(WILEY, 2018-02-01)
Testicular germ cell tumours (TGCTs) are the most frequent malignancy and cause of death from solid tumours in the 20- to 40-year age group. Although most cases show sensitivity to cis-platinum-based chemotherapy, this is ...
IL-23 secreted by myeloid cells drives castration-resistant prostate cancer.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2018-07-19)
Patients with prostate cancer frequently show resistance to androgen-deprivation therapy, a condition known as castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Acquiring a better understanding of the mechanisms that control ...
Overexpression of EZH2 in multiple myeloma is associated with poor prognosis and dysregulation of cell cycle control.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2017-03-31)
Myeloma is heterogeneous at the molecular level with subgroups of patients characterised by features of epigenetic dysregulation. Outcomes for myeloma patients have improved over the past few decades except for molecularly ...
Inhibitors of cyclin-dependent kinases as cancer therapeutics.
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2017-05-01)
Over the past two decades there has been a great deal of interest in the development of inhibitors of the cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs). This attention initially stemmed from observations that different CDK isoforms have ...
CHK1 Inhibition Is Synthetically Lethal with Loss of B-Family DNA Polymerase Function in Human Lung and Colorectal Cancer Cells.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2020-04-15)
Checkpoint kinase 1 (CHK1) is a key mediator of the DNA damage response that regulates cell-cycle progression, DNA damage repair, and DNA replication. Small-molecule CHK1 inhibitors sensitize cancer cells to genotoxic ...
Molecular profiling and combinatorial activity of CCT068127: a potent CDK2 and CDK9 inhibitor.
(WILEY, 2018-03-01)
Deregulation of the cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of multiple cancer types. Consequently, CDKs have garnered intense interest as therapeutic targets for the treatment of cancer. ...
ATR Is a Therapeutic Target in Synovial Sarcoma.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2017-12-15)
Synovial sarcoma (SS) is an aggressive soft-tissue malignancy characterized by expression of SS18-SSX fusions, where treatment options are limited. To identify therapeutically actionable genetic dependencies in SS, we ...
Titration of signalling output: insights into clinical combinations of MEK and AKT inhibitors.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2015-07-01)
BACKGROUND: We aimed to understand the relative contributions of inhibiting MEK and AKT on cell growth to guide combinations of these agents. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A panel of 20 cell lines was exposed to either the MEK ...
Neuroblastoma Arginase Activity Creates an Immunosuppressive Microenvironment That Impairs Autologous and Engineered Immunity.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2015-08-01)
Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid tumor of childhood, and survival remains poor for patients with advanced disease. Novel immune therapies are currently in development, but clinical outcomes have not ...
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 ...
