Structure-based drug design: aiming for a perfect fit.
(PORTLAND PRESS LTD, 2017-11-08)
Knowledge of the three-dimensional structure of therapeutically relevant targets has informed drug discovery since the first protein structures were determined using X-ray crystallography in the 1950s and 1960s. In this ...
HSF1 Is Essential for Myeloma Cell Survival and A Promising Therapeutic Target.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2018-05-15)
Purpose: Myeloma is a plasma cell malignancy characterized by the overproduction of immunoglobulin, and is therefore susceptible to therapies targeting protein homeostasis. We hypothesized that heat shock factor 1 (HSF1) ...
Demonstrating In-Cell Target Engagement Using a Pirin Protein Degradation Probe (CCT367766).
(AMER CHEMICAL SOC, 2018-02-08)
Demonstrating intracellular protein target engagement is an essential step in the development and progression of new chemical probes and potential small molecule therapeutics. However, this can be particularly challenging ...
MIR21 Drives Resistance to Heat Shock Protein 90 Inhibition in Cholangiocarcinoma.
(W B SAUNDERS CO-ELSEVIER INC, 2018-03-01)
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Cholangiocarcinomas (CCA) are resistant to chemotherapy, so new therapeutic agents are needed. We performed a screen to identify small-molecule compounds that are active against CCAs. Levels of microRNA ...
The discovery of potent ribosomal S6 kinase inhibitors by high-throughput screening and structure-guided drug design.
(IMPACT JOURNALS LLC, 2013-08-25)
The ribosomal P70 S6 kinases play a crucial role in PI3K/mTOR regulated signalling pathways and are therefore potential targets for the treatment of a variety of diseases including diabetes and cancer. In this study we ...
Pediatric and adult glioblastoma radiosensitization induced by PI3K/mTOR inhibition causes early metabolic alterations detected by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
(IMPACT JOURNALS LLC, 2017-07-18)
Poor outcome for patients with glioblastomas is often associated with radioresistance. PI3K/mTOR pathway deregulation has been correlated with radioresistance; therefore, PI3K/mTOR inhibition could render tumors radiosensitive. ...
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 ...
Oncogenic RAC1 and NRAS drive resistance to endoplasmic reticulum stress through MEK/ERK signalling.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2018-04-01)
Cancer cells are able to survive under conditions that cause endoplasmic reticulum stress (ER-stress), and can adapt to this stress by upregulating cell-survival signalling pathways and down-regulating apoptotic pathways. ...
Restricting direct interaction of CDC37 with HSP90 does not compromise chaperoning of client proteins.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2015-01-02)
The HSP90 molecular chaperone plays a key role in the maturation, stability and activation of its clients, including many oncogenic proteins. Kinases are a substantial and important subset of clients requiring the key ...
RNAi screen reveals synthetic lethality between cyclin G-associated kinase and FBXW7 by inducing aberrant mitoses.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017-09-26)
BACKGROUND: F-box and WD40 repeat domain-containing 7 (FBXW7) is an E3 ubiquitin ligase involved in the ubiquitination and degradation of multiple oncogenic substrates. The tumour suppressor function is frequently lost in ...
