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 ...
Type 1 IGF receptor associates with adverse outcome and cellular radioresistance in paediatric high-grade glioma.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2020-03-01)
High-grade glioma (HGG) is highly resistant to therapy, prompting us to investigate the contribution of insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGF-1R), linked with radioresistance in other cancers. IGF-1R immunohistochemistry ...
Combined targeting of MEK and the glucocorticoid receptor for the treatment of RAS-mutant multiple myeloma.
(BMC, 2020-03-30)
BACKGROUND: Multiple myeloma (MM) remains incurable despite recent therapeutic advances. RAS mutations are frequently associated with relapsed/refractory disease. Efforts to target the mitogen-activated protein kinase ...
A potent KRAS macromolecule degrader specifically targeting tumours with mutant KRAS.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2020-06-26)
Tumour-associated KRAS mutations are the most prevalent in the three RAS-family isoforms and involve many different amino-acids. Therefore, molecules able to interfere with mutant KRAS protein are potentially important for ...
Genome-Protective Topoisomerase 2a-Dependent G2 Arrest Requires p53 in hTERT-Positive Cancer Cells.
(American Association for Cancer Research (AACR), 2022-05-03)
UNLABELLED: Topoisomerase 2a (Topo2a)-dependent G2 arrest engenders faithful segregation of sister chromatids, yet in certain tumor cell lines where this arrest is dysfunctional, a PKCε-dependent failsafe pathway can be ...
Mutations in ALK signaling pathways conferring resistance to ALK inhibitor treatment lead to collateral vulnerabilities in neuroblastoma cells.
(BMC, 2022-06-10)
BACKGROUND: Development of resistance to targeted therapies has tempered initial optimism that precision oncology would improve poor outcomes for cancer patients. Resistance mechanisms, however, can also confer new ...
Identification of a minority population of LMO2+ breast cancer cells that integrate into the vasculature and initiate metastasis.
(AMER ASSOC ADVANCEMENT SCIENCE, 2022-11-11)
Metastasis is responsible for most breast cancer-related deaths; however, identifying the cellular determinants of metastasis has remained challenging. Here, we identified a minority population of immature THY1+/VEGFA+ ...
Upregulation of GALNT7 in prostate cancer modifies O-glycosylation and promotes tumour growth.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2023-03-16)
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men and it is estimated that over 350,000 men worldwide die of prostate cancer every year. There remains an unmet clinical need to improve how clinically significant prostate ...
