Mesenchymal niche remodeling impairs hematopoiesis via stanniocalcin 1 in acute myeloid leukemia.
(AMER SOC CLINICAL INVESTIGATION INC, 2020-06-01)Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) disrupts the generation of normal blood cells, predisposing patients to hemorrhage, anemia, and infections. Differentiation and proliferation of residual normal hematopoietic stem and progenitor ... -
Meta-analysis of five genome-wide association studies identifies multiple new loci associated with testicular germ cell tumor.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2017-07-01)The international Testicular Cancer Consortium (TECAC) combined five published genome-wide association studies of testicular germ cell tumor (TGCT; 3,558 cases and 13,970 controls) to identify new susceptibility loci. We ... -
Metabolic imaging with hyperpolarized [1-13C] pyruvate in patient-derived preclinical mouse models of breast cancer.
(ELSEVIER, 2021-09-17)13C nuclear spin hyperpolarization can increase the sensitivity of detection in an MRI experiment by more than 10,000-fold. 13C magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) of hyperpolarized 13C label exchange between ... -
Metastasis and Immune Evasion from Extracellular cGAMP Hydrolysis.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2021-05-01)Cytosolic DNA is characteristic of chromosomally unstable metastatic cancer cells, resulting in constitutive activation of the cGAS-STING innate immune pathway. How tumors co-opt inflammatory signaling while evading immune ... -
Methylome analysis identifies a Wilms tumor epigenetic biomarker detectable in blood
(2014-01-01)Background Wilms tumor is the most common pediatric renal malignancy and there is a clinical need for a molecular biomarker to assess treatment response and predict relapse. The known mutated genes in this tumor type show ... -
Microenvironmental Heterogeneity Parallels Breast Cancer Progression: A Histology-Genomic Integration Analysis.
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2016-02-16)BACKGROUND: The intra-tumor diversity of cancer cells is under intense investigation; however, little is known about the heterogeneity of the tumor microenvironment that is key to cancer progression and evolution. We aimed ... -
Microenvironmental niche divergence shapes BRCA1-dysregulated ovarian cancer morphological plasticity.
(NATURE RESEARCH, 2018-09-25)How tumor microenvironmental forces shape plasticity of cancer cell morphology is poorly understood. Here, we conduct automated histology image and spatial statistical analyses in 514 high grade serous ovarian samples to ... -
MicroRNA 193b-3p as a predictive biomarker of chronic kidney disease in patients undergoing radical nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2016-11-01)BACKGROUND: A significant proportion of patients undergoing radical nephrectomy (RN) for clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (RCC) develop chronic kidney disease (CKD) within a few years following surgery. Chronic kidney disease ... -
MicroRNA and gene co-expression networks characterize biological and clinical behavior of rhabdomyosarcomas.
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2017-01-28)Rhabdomyosarcomas (RMS) in children and adolescents are heterogeneous sarcomas broadly defined by skeletal muscle features and the presence/absence of PAX3/7-FOXO1 fusion genes. MicroRNAs are small non-coding RNAs that ... -
MicroRNA-135b promotes cancer progression by acting as a downstream effector of oncogenic pathways in colon cancer.
(CELL PRESS, 2014-04-14)MicroRNA deregulation is frequent in human colorectal cancers (CRCs), but little is known as to whether it represents a bystander event or actually drives tumor progression in vivo. We show that miR-135b overexpression is ... -
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) and Long Non-Coding RNAs (lncRNAs) as New Tools for Cancer Therapy: First Steps from Bench to Bedside.
(SPRINGER, 2020-06-01)Non-coding RNAs represent a significant proportion of the human genome. After having been considered as 'junk' for a long time, non-coding RNAs are now well established as playing important roles in maintaining cellular ... -
MicroRNAs as biomarkers of response to HER2 inhibitors in gastro-oesophageal cancers
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-01-31)Trastuzumab in combination with chemotherapy represents the standard of care in HER2-positive advanced gastro-oesophageal cancer (GOC), but development of resistance limits response. MicroRNAs (miRs) modulate key pathways ... -
MicroRNAs as mediators of drug resistance mechanisms.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2020-10-01)MicroRNAs are small RNA transcripts involved in fine-tuning of several cellular mechanisms and pathways crucial for maintaining cells' homeostasis like apoptosis, differentiation, inflammation and cell-cycle regulation. ... -
MicroRNAs as Mediators of Resistance Mechanisms to Small-Molecule Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors in Solid Tumours.
(SPRINGER, 2018-08-01)Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are widely expressed transmembrane proteins that act as receptors for growth factors and other extracellular signalling molecules. Upon ligand binding, RTKs activate intracellular signalling ... -
Microsatellite instability in gastric cancer: molecular bases, clinical perspectives, and new treatment approaches.
(SPRINGER BASEL AG, 2018-11-01)Gastric cancer is one of the most aggressive malignancies, with limited treatment options in both locally advanced and metastatic setting, resulting in poor prognosis. Based on genomic characterization, stomach tumour has ... -
