Serine synthesis pathway inhibition cooperates with dietary serine and glycine limitation for cancer therapy.
(NATURE RESEARCH, 2021-01-14)Many tumour cells show dependence on exogenous serine and dietary serine and glycine starvation can inhibit the growth of these cancers and extend survival in mice. However, numerous mechanisms promote resistance to this ... -
Severity of gastric intestinal metaplasia predicts the risk of gastric cancer: a prospective multicentre cohort study (GCEP).
(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2021-05-11)OBJECTIVE: To investigate the incidence of gastric cancer (GC) attributed to gastric intestinal metaplasia (IM), and validate the Operative Link on Gastric Intestinal Metaplasia (OLGIM) for targeted endoscopic surveillance ... -
Sex specific retinoic acid signaling is required for the initiation of urogenital sinus bud development.
(ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCE, 2014-11-15)The mammalian urogenital sinus (UGS) develops in a sex specific manner, giving rise to the prostate in the male and the sinus vagina in the embryonic female. Androgens, produced by the embryonic testis, have been shown to ... -
SF3B1 mutations constitute a novel therapeutic target in breast cancer.
(WILEY, 2015-03-01)Mutations in genes encoding proteins involved in RNA splicing have been found to occur at relatively high frequencies in several tumour types including myelodysplastic syndromes, chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, uveal melanoma, ... -
SGLT1 is required for the survival of triple-negative breast cancer cells via potentiation of EGFR activity.
(2019-09)Sodium/glucose cotransporter 1 (SGLT1), an essential active glucose transport protein that helps maintain high intracellular glucose levels, was previously shown to interact with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR); ... -
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 ... -
Shieldin complex promotes DNA end-joining and counters homologous recombination in BRCA1-null cells.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-08-01)BRCA1 deficiencies cause breast, ovarian, prostate and other cancers, and render tumours hypersensitive to poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors. To understand the resistance mechanisms, we conducted whole-genome ... -
SHOC2 phosphatase-dependent RAF dimerization mediates resistance to MEK inhibition in RAS-mutant cancers.
(2019-06-10)Targeted inhibition of the ERK-MAPK pathway, upregulated in a majority of human cancers, has been hindered in the clinic by drug resistance and toxicity. The MRAS-SHOC2-PP1 (SHOC2 phosphatase) complex plays a key role in ... -
Short-term presurgical treatment for all?

Should tissue structure suppress or amplify selection to minimize cancer risk?
(2016-08-01)Background: It has been frequently argued that tissues evolved to suppress the accumulation of growth enhancing cancer inducing mutations. A prominent example is the hierarchical structure of tissues with high cell turnover, ... -
Signalling pathways implicated in early mammary gland morphogenesis and breast cancer.
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2006-08-01)Specification of mammary epithelial cell fate occurs during embryogenesis as cells aggregate to form the mammary anlage. Within the embryonic mammary bud, a population of epithelial cells exists that will subsequently ... -
Similarity and diversity of the tumor microenvironment in multiple metastases: critical implications for overall and progression-free survival of high-grade serous ovarian cancer.
(IMPACT JOURNALS LLC, 2016-11-01)The tumor microenvironment is pivotal in influencing cancer progression and metastasis. Different cells co-exist with high spatial diversity within a patient, yet their combinatorial effects are poorly understood. We ... -
Simulations of DNA topoisomerase 1B bound to supercoiled DNA reveal changes in the flexibility pattern of the enzyme and a secondary protein–DNA binding site
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2014-08-18)Human topoisomerase 1B has been simulated covalently bound to a negatively supercoiled DNA minicircle, and its behavior compared to the enzyme bound to a simple linear DNA duplex. The presence of the more realistic supercoiled ... -
Single cell analysis of clonal architecture in acute myeloid leukaemia.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2019-05-01)We used single cell Q-PCR on a micro-fluidic platform (Fluidigm) to analyse clonal, genetic architecture and phylogeny in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) using selected mutations. Ten cases of NPM1c mutant AML were screened ... -
Single-Cell Analyses of Prostate Cancer Liquid Biopsies Acquired by Apheresis.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2018-11-15)Purpose: Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) have clinical relevance, but their study has been limited by their low frequency.Experimental Design: We evaluated liquid biopsies by apheresis to increase CTC yield from patients ... -
Sirolimus for patients with progressive epithelioid hemangioendothelioma.
(WILEY, 2020-10-27)Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma is an ultrarare soft tissue sarcoma with limited literature to guide treatment. The results from a robust retrospective cohort study support the use of sirolimus for patients who have ... -
Sirtuin inhibition is synthetic lethal with BRCA1 or BRCA2 deficiency.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2021-11-08)PARP enzymes utilise NAD+ as a co-substrate for their enzymatic activity. Inhibition of PARP1 is synthetic lethal with defects in either BRCA1 or BRCA2. In order to assess whether other genes implicated in NAD+ metabolism ... -
