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 ...
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 ...
Identifying Genetic Dependencies in Cancer by Analyzing siRNA Screens in Tumor Cell Line Panels.
(HUMANA PRESS INC, 2018-01-01)
Loss-of-function screening using RNA interference or CRISPR approaches can be used to identify genes that specific tumor cell lines depend upon for survival. By integrating the results from screens in multiple cell lines ...
Catalytic inhibition of KDM1A in Ewing sarcoma is insufficient as a therapeutic strategy.
(WILEY, 2019-09-01)
BACKGROUND: Ewing sarcoma and desmoplastic small round cell tumors (DSRCT) are rare and clinically aggressive sarcomas usually characterized by oncogenic fusion proteins involving EWS. Emerging studies of Ewing sarcoma ...
Gene expression modules in primary breast cancers as risk factors for organotropic patterns of first metastatic spread: a case control study.
(BMC, 2017-10-13)
BACKGROUND: Metastases from primary breast cancers can involve single or multiple organs at metastatic disease diagnosis. Molecular risk factors for particular patterns of metastastic spread in a clinical population are ...
