Autophagy inhibition specifically promotes epithelial-mesenchymal transition and invasion in RAS-mutated cancer cells.
(2019-05)
Macroautophagy/autophagy inhibition is a novel anticancer therapeutic strategy, especially for tumors driven by mutant RAS. Here, we demonstrate that autophagy inhibition in RAS-mutated cells induces epithelial-mesenchymal ...
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 ...
Cholesterol biosynthesis pathway as a novel mechanism of resistance to estrogen deprivation in estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer.
(BMC, 2016-06-01)
BACKGROUND: Therapies targeting estrogenic stimulation in estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer (BC) reduce mortality, but resistance remains a major clinical problem. Molecular studies have shown few high-frequency ...
Genetic and functional diversity of propagating cells in glioblastoma.
(CELL PRESS, 2015-01-13)
Glioblastoma (GBM) is a lethal malignancy whose clinical intransigence has been linked to extensive intraclonal genetic and phenotypic diversity and the common emergence of therapeutic resistance. This interpretation ...
Systematic evaluation of quantotypic peptides for targeted analysis of the human kinome.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2014-10-01)
In targeted proteomics it is critical that peptides are not only proteotypic but also accurately represent the level of the protein (quantotypic). Numerous approaches are used to identify proteotypic peptides, but quantotypic ...
Efficient Genotyping of KRAS Mutant Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Using a Multiplexed Droplet Digital PCR Approach.
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2015-09-28)
Droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) can be used to detect low frequency mutations in oncogene-driven lung cancer. The range of KRAS point mutations observed in NSCLC necessitates a multiplex approach to efficient mutation detection ...
Large-Scale Profiling of Kinase Dependencies in Cancer Cell Lines.
(CELL PRESS, 2016-03-15)
One approach to identifying cancer-specific vulnerabilities and therapeutic targets is to profile genetic dependencies in cancer cell lines. Here, we describe data from a series of siRNA screens that identify the kinase ...
Androgen receptor expression in circulating tumour cells from castration-resistant prostate cancer patients treated with novel endocrine agents.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2015-03-31)
BACKGROUND: Abiraterone and enzalutamide are novel endocrine treatments that abrogate androgen receptor (AR) signalling in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Here, we developed a circulating tumour cells (CTCs)-based ...
Contributions to drug resistance in glioblastoma derived from malignant cells in the sub-ependymal zone.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2015-01-01)
Glioblastoma, the most common and aggressive adult brain tumor, is characterized by extreme phenotypic diversity and treatment failure. Through fluorescence-guided resection, we identified fluorescent tissue in the ...
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 ...
