Targeting Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK) in Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) with the Second-Generation ALK Inhibitor Ceritinib.
(2017-12)
The receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) has been implicated in the tumorigenesis of rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS). However, the exact role of ALK in RMS is debatable and remains to be elucidated.To ...
Dichloroacetate induces autophagy in colorectal cancer cells and tumours.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2014-07-15)
BACKGROUND: Dichloroacetate (DCA) has been found to have antitumour properties. METHODS: We investigated the cellular and metabolic responses to DCA treatment and recovery in human colorectal (HT29, HCT116 WT and HCT116 ...
High-Level Clonal FGFR Amplification and Response to FGFR Inhibition in a Translational Clinical Trial.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2016-08-01)
UNLABELLED: FGFR1 and FGFR2 are amplified in many tumor types, yet what determines response to FGFR inhibition in amplified cancers is unknown. In a translational clinical trial, we show that gastric cancers with high-level ...
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 ...
Inhibition of mTOR-kinase destabilizes MYCN and is a potential therapy for MYCN-dependent tumors.
(IMPACT JOURNALS LLC, 2016-09-06)
MYC oncoproteins deliver a potent oncogenic stimulus in several human cancers, making them major targets for drug development, but efforts to deliver clinically practical therapeutics have not yet been realized. In childhood ...
Macrophage-Derived IL1β and TNFα Regulate Arginine Metabolism in Neuroblastoma.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2019-02-01)
Neuroblastoma is the most common childhood solid tumor, yet the prognosis for high-risk disease remains poor. We demonstrate here that arginase 2 (ARG2) drives neuroblastoma cell proliferation via regulation of arginine ...
SHH pathway inhibition is protumourigenic in adamantinomatous craniopharyngioma.
(BIOSCIENTIFICA LTD, 2019-03-01)
Pharmacological inhibition of the sonic hedgehog (SHH) pathway can be beneficial against certain cancers but detrimental in others. Adamantinomatous craniopharyngioma (ACP) is a relevant pituitary tumour, affecting children ...
Noninvasive MRI Native T1 Mapping Detects Response to MYCN-targeted Therapies in the Th-MYCN Model of Neuroblastoma.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2020-08-15)
Noninvasive early indicators of treatment response are crucial to the successful delivery of precision medicine in children with cancer. Neuroblastoma is a common solid tumor of young children that arises from anomalies ...
In Vivo Modeling of Chemoresistant Neuroblastoma Provides New Insights into Chemorefractory Disease and Metastasis.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2019-10-15)
Neuroblastoma is a pediatric cancer that is frequently metastatic and resistant to conventional treatment. In part, a lack of natively metastatic, chemoresistant in vivo models has limited our insight into the development ...
Investigating the Contribution of Collagen to the Tumor Biomechanical Phenotype with Noninvasive Magnetic Resonance Elastography.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2019-11-15)
Increased stiffness in the extracellular matrix (ECM) contributes to tumor progression and metastasis. Therefore, stromal modulating therapies and accompanying biomarkers are being developed to target ECM stiffness. Magnetic ...
