Combined MYC and P53 defects emerge at medulloblastoma relapse and define rapidly progressive, therapeutically targetable disease.
Hill, RM; Kuijper, S; Lindsey, JC; Petrie, K; Schwalbe, EC; et al. (CELL PRESS, 2015-01-12)We undertook a comprehensive clinical and biological investigation of serial medulloblastoma biopsies obtained at diagnosis and relapse. Combined MYC family amplifications and P53 pathway defects commonly emerged at relapse, ... -
Cyclin-Dependent Kinase Inhibitor AT7519 as a Potential Drug for MYCN-Dependent Neuroblastoma.
Dolman, MEM; Poon, E; Ebus, ME; den Hartog, IJM; van Noesel, CJM; et al. (AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2015-11-15)PURPOSE: MYCN-dependent neuroblastomas have low cure rates with current multimodal treatment regimens and novel therapeutic drugs are therefore urgently needed. In previous preclinical studies, we have shown that targeted ... -
Detection of the prodrug-activating enzyme carboxypeptidase G2 activity with chemical exchange saturation transfer magnetic resonance.
Jamin, Y; Eykyn, TR; Poon, E; Springer, CJ; Robinson, SP (SPRINGER, 2014-04-01)PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to evaluate if the differential exchange rates with bulk water between amine and amide protons can be exploited using chemical exchange saturation transfer magnetic resonance (CEST-MR) ... -
In Vivo Modeling of Chemoresistant Neuroblastoma Provides New Insights into Chemorefractory Disease and Metastasis.
Yogev, O; Almeida, GS; Barker, KT; George, SL; Kwok, C; et al. (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 ... -
Indisulam targets RNA splicing and metabolism to serve as a therapeutic strategy for high-risk neuroblastoma.
Nijhuis, A; Sikka, A; Yogev, O; Herendi, L; Balcells, C; et al. (NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2022-03-16)Neuroblastoma is the most common paediatric solid tumour and prognosis remains poor for high-risk cases despite the use of multimodal treatment. Analysis of public drug sensitivity data showed neuroblastoma lines to be ... -
MRI Imaging of the Hemodynamic Vasculature of Neuroblastoma Predicts Response to Antiangiogenic Treatment.
Zormpas-Petridis, K; Jerome, NP; Blackledge, MD; Carceller, F; Poon, E; et al. (AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2019-06)Childhood neuroblastoma is a hypervascular tumor of neural origin, for which antiangiogenic drugs are currently being evaluated; however, predictive biomarkers of treatment response, crucial for successful delivery of ... -
MYCN expression induces replication stress and sensitivity to PARP inhibition in neuroblastoma.
King, D; Li, XD; Almeida, GS; Kwok, C; Gravells, P; et al. (Impact Journals, LLC, 2020-06-09)This study investigates the influence expression of the MYCN oncogene has on the DNA damage response, replication fork progression and sensitivity to PARP inhibition in neuroblastoma. In a panel of neuroblastoma cell lines, ... -
Noninvasive MRI Native T1 Mapping Detects Response to MYCN-targeted Therapies in the Th-MYCN Model of Neuroblastoma.
Zormpas-Petridis, K; Poon, E; Clarke, M; Jerome, NP; Boult, JKR; et al. (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 ... -
Novel therapeutic strategies targeting telomere maintenance mechanisms in high-risk neuroblastoma.
George, SL; Parmar, V; Lorenzi, F; Marshall, LV; Jamin, Y; et al. (BMC, 2020-05-06)The majority of high-risk neuroblastomas can be divided into three distinct molecular subgroups defined by the presence of MYCN amplification, upstream TERT rearrangements or alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT). The ... -
Orally bioavailable CDK9/2 inhibitor shows mechanism-based therapeutic potential in MYCN-driven neuroblastoma.
Poon, E; Liang, T; Jamin, Y; Walz, S; Kwok, C; et al. (AMER SOC CLINICAL INVESTIGATION INC, 2020-11-02)The undruggable nature of oncogenic Myc transcription factors poses a therapeutic challenge in neuroblastoma, a pediatric cancer in which MYCN amplification is strongly associated with unfavorable outcome. Here, we show ...
