MYCN expression induces replication stress and sensitivity to PARP inhibition in neuroblastoma.
(Impact Journals, LLC, 2020-06-09)
This study investigates the influence expression of the MYCN oncogene has on the DNA damage response, replication fork progression and sensitivity to PARP inhibition in neuroblastoma. In a panel of neuroblastoma cell lines, ...
Therapeutic vulnerabilities in the DNA damage response for the treatment of ATRX mutant neuroblastoma.
(ELSEVIER, 2020-09-01)
BACKGROUND: In neuroblastoma, genetic alterations in ATRX, define a distinct poor outcome patient subgroup. Despite the need for new therapies, there is a lack of available models and a dearth of pre-clinical research. ...
Phase I Trial of First-in-Class ATR Inhibitor M6620 (VX-970) as Monotherapy or in Combination With Carboplatin in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors.
(AMER SOC CLINICAL ONCOLOGY, 2020-06-22)
PURPOSE: Preclinical studies demonstrated that ATR inhibition can exploit synthetic lethality (eg, in cancer cells with impaired compensatory DNA damage responses through ATM loss) as monotherapy and combined with DNA-damaging ...
History of the Selective Autophagy Research: How Did It Begin and Where Does It Stand Today?
(ACADEMIC PRESS LTD- ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2020-01-03)
Autophagy, self-eating, is a pivotal catabolic mechanism that ensures homeostasis and survival of the cell in the face of stressors as different as starvation, infection, or protein misfolding. The importance of the research ...
Effect of acute total sleep deprivation on plasma melatonin, cortisol and metabolite rhythms in females.
(WILEY, 2020-01-01)
Disruption to sleep and circadian rhythms can impact on metabolism. The study aimed to investigate the effect of acute sleep deprivation on plasma melatonin, cortisol and metabolites, to increase understanding of the ...
Achieving In Vivo Target Depletion through the Discovery and Optimization of Benzimidazolone BCL6 Degraders.
(AMER CHEMICAL SOC, 2020-04-23)
Deregulation of the transcriptional repressor BCL6 enables tumorigenesis of germinal center B-cells, and hence BCL6 has been proposed as a therapeutic target for the treatment of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). ...
Quizartinib-resistant FLT3-ITD acute myeloid leukemia cells are sensitive to the FLT3-Aurora kinase inhibitor CCT241736.
(ELSEVIER, 2020-04-14)
Internal tandem duplication of FLT3 (FLT3-ITD) is one of the most common somatic mutations in acute myeloid leukemia (AML); it causes constitutive activation of FLT3 kinase and is associated with high relapse rates and ...
Metabolomic changes of the multi (-AGC-) kinase inhibitor AT13148 in cells, mice and patients are associated with NOS regulation.
(SPRINGER, 2020-04-13)
INTRODUCTION: To generate biomarkers of target engagement or predictive response for multi-target drugs is challenging. One such compound is the multi-AGC kinase inhibitor AT13148. Metabolic signatures of selective signal ...
Distinct roles of BRCA2 in replication fork protection in response to hydroxyurea and DNA interstrand cross-links.
(COLD SPRING HARBOR LAB PRESS, PUBLICATIONS DEPT, 2020-06-01)
DNA interstrand cross-links (ICLs) are a form of DNA damage that requires the interplay of a number of repair proteins including those of the Fanconi anemia (FA) and the homologous recombination (HR) pathways. Pathogenic ...
Genomic landscape of platinum resistant and sensitive testicular cancers.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2020-05-04)
While most testicular germ cell tumours (TGCTs) exhibit exquisite sensitivity to platinum chemotherapy, ~10% are platinum resistant. To gain insight into the underlying mechanisms, we undertake whole exome sequencing and ...
