Preclinical Evidence That Trametinib Enhances the Response to Antiangiogenic Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors in Renal Cell Carcinoma.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2016-01-01)
Sunitinib and pazopanib are antiangiogenic tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) used to treat metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC). However, the ability of these drugs to extend progression-free and overall survival in this ...
The unconventional myosin CRINKLED and its mammalian orthologue MYO7A regulate caspases in their signalling roles.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2016-03-10)
Caspases provide vital links in non-apoptotic regulatory networks controlling inflammation, compensatory proliferation, morphology and cell migration. How caspases are activated under non-apoptotic conditions and process ...
Large-Scale Profiling of Kinase Dependencies in Cancer Cell Lines.
(CELL PRESS, 2016-03-15)
One approach to identifying cancer-specific vulnerabilities and therapeutic targets is to profile genetic dependencies in cancer cell lines. Here, we describe data from a series of siRNA screens that identify the kinase ...
Prostate-specific Antigen Decline After 4 Weeks of Treatment with Abiraterone Acetate and Overall Survival in Patients with Metastatic Castration-resistant Prostate Cancer.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2016-11-01)
BACKGROUND: The availability of multiple new treatments for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) mandates earlier treatment switches in the absence of a response. A decline in prostate-specific antigen ...
Mechanism and non-mechanism based imaging biomarkers for assessing biological response to treatment in non-small cell lung cancer.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2016-05-01)
Therapeutic options in locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have expanded in the past decade to include a palate of targeted interventions such as high dose targeted thermal ablations, radiotherapy and growing ...
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 ...
