Exploiting Protein Conformational Change to Optimize Adenosine-Derived Inhibitors of HSP70.
(AMER CHEMICAL SOC, 2016-05-26)
HSP70 is a molecular chaperone and a key component of the heat-shock response. Because of its proposed importance in oncology, this protein has become a popular target for drug discovery, efforts which have as yet brought ...
Over-expression of the miR-483-3p overcomes the miR-145/TP53 pro-apoptotic loop in hepatocellular carcinoma.
(IMPACT JOURNALS LLC, 2016-05-24)
The miR-145-5p, which induces TP53-dependent apoptosis, is down-regulated in several tumors, including hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs), but some HCCs show physiological expression of this miR. Here we demonstrate that in ...
Second-Generation HSP90 Inhibitor Onalespib Blocks mRNA Splicing of Androgen Receptor Variant 7 in Prostate Cancer Cells.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2016-05-01)
Resistance to available hormone therapies in prostate cancer has been associated with alternative splicing of androgen receptor (AR) and specifically, the expression of truncated and constitutively active AR variant 7 ...
Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer Tissue Acquisition From Bone Metastases for Molecular Analyses.
(CIG MEDIA GROUP, LP, 2016-12-01)
BACKGROUND: The urgent need for castration-resistant prostate cancer molecular characterization to guide treatment has been constrained by the disease's predilection to metastasize primarily to bone. We hypothesized that ...
Decline in Circulating Tumor Cell Count and Treatment Outcome in Advanced Prostate Cancer.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2016-12-01)
BACKGROUND: Treatment response biomarkers are urgently needed for castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Baseline and post-treatment circulating tumor cell (CTC) counts of ≥5 cells/7.5ml are associated with poor CRPC ...
Effect of Pathologic Tumor Response and Nodal Status on Survival in the Medical Research Council Adjuvant Gastric Infusional Chemotherapy Trial.
(AMER SOC CLINICAL ONCOLOGY, 2016-08-10)
PURPOSE: The Medical Research Council Adjuvant Gastric Infusional Chemotherapy (MAGIC) trial established perioperative epirubicin, cisplatin, and fluorouracil chemotherapy as a standard of care for patients with resectable ...
DNA-Repair Defects and Olaparib in Metastatic Prostate Cancer.
(MASSACHUSETTS MEDICAL SOC, 2015-10-29)
BACKGROUND: Prostate cancer is a heterogeneous disease, but current treatments are not based on molecular stratification. We hypothesized that metastatic, castration-resistant prostate cancers with DNA-repair defects would ...
MicroRNA-135b promotes cancer progression by acting as a downstream effector of oncogenic pathways in colon cancer.
(CELL PRESS, 2014-04-14)
MicroRNA deregulation is frequent in human colorectal cancers (CRCs), but little is known as to whether it represents a bystander event or actually drives tumor progression in vivo. We show that miR-135b overexpression is ...
Near-InfraRed PhotoImmunoTherapy (NIR-PIT) for the local control of solid cancers: Challenges and potentials for human applications.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2021-05-01)
Near-InfraRed PhotoImmunoTherapy (NIR-PIT) is a novel cancer-targeted treatment effected by a chemical conjugation between a photosensitiser (e.g. the NIR phthalocyanine dye IRDye700DX) and a cancer-targeting moiety (e.g. ...
Discovery of Potent, Selective, and Orally Bioavailable Small-Molecule Modulators of the Mediator Complex-Associated Kinases CDK8 and CDK19.
(AMER CHEMICAL SOC, 2016-02-11)
The Mediator complex-associated cyclin-dependent kinase CDK8 has been implicated in human disease, particularly in colorectal cancer where it has been reported as a putative oncogene. Here we report the discovery of 109 ...
