Application of Sequencing, Liquid Biopsies, and Patient-Derived Xenografts for Personalized Medicine in Melanoma.
Girotti, MR; Gremel, G; Lee, R; Galvani, E; Rothwell, D; Viros, A; Mandal, AK; Lim, KHJ; Saturno, G; Furney, SJ; Baenke, F; Pedersen, M; Rogan, J; Swan, J; Smith, M; Fusi, A; Oudit, D; Dhomen, N; Brady, G; Lorigan, P; Dive, C; Marais, R (2016-03)<h4>Unlabelled</h4>Targeted therapies and immunotherapies have transformed melanoma care, extending median survival from ∼9 to over 25 months, but nevertheless most patients still die of their disease. The aim of precision ... -
ATR Inhibition Potentiates the Radiation-induced Inflammatory Tumor Microenvironment.
Dillon, MT; Bergerhoff, KF; Pedersen, M; Whittock, H; Crespo-Rodriguez, E; Patin, EC; Pearson, A; Smith, HG; Paget, JTE; Patel, RR; Foo, S; Bozhanova, G; Ragulan, C; Fontana, E; Desai, K; Wilkins, AC; Sadanandam, A; Melcher, A; McLaughlin, M; Harrington, KJ (2019-06)<h4>Purpose</h4>ATR inhibitors (ATRi) are in early phase clinical trials and have been shown to sensitize to chemotherapy and radiotherapy preclinically. Limited data have been published about the effect of these drugs on ... -
A caveolin-dependent and PI3K/AKT-independent role of PTEN in beta-catenin transcriptional activity
Pendersen, Malin; Pedersen, Malin (2015-08)Loss of the tumour suppressor PTEN is frequent in human melanoma, results in MAPK activation, suppresses senescence and mediates metastatic behaviour. How PTEN loss mediates these effects is unknown. Here we show that loss ... -
Combined ATR and DNA-PK Inhibition Radiosensitizes Tumor Cells Independently of Their p53 Status.
Hafsi, H; Dillon, MT; Barker, HE; Kyula, JN; Schick, U; Paget, JT; Smith, HG; Pedersen, M; McLaughlin, M; Harrington, KJ (2018-01)Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is a significant cause of cancer deaths. Cisplatin-based chemoradiotherapy is a standard of care for locally advanced disease. ATR and DNA-PK inhibition (DNA-PKi) are actively ... -
Combining BRAF inhibition with oncolytic herpes simplex virus enhances the immune-mediated antitumor therapy of BRAF-mutant thyroid cancer.
Crespo-Rodriguez, E; Bergerhoff, K; Bozhanova, G; Foo, S; Patin, EC; Whittock, H; Buus, R; Haider, S; Muirhead, G; Thway, K; Newbold, K; Coffin, RS; Vile, RG; Kim, D; McLaughlin, M; Melcher, AA; Harrington, KJ; Pedersen, M (2020-08)<h4>Background</h4>The aggressive clinical behavior of poorly differentiated and anaplastic thyroid cancers (PDTC and ATC) has proven challenging to treat, and survival beyond a few months from diagnosis is rare. Although ... -
Inflammatory microenvironment remodelling by tumour cells after radiotherapy.
McLaughlin, M; Patin, EC; Pedersen, M; Wilkins, A; Dillon, MT; Melcher, AA; Harrington, KJ (2020-04)The development of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) is revolutionizing the way we think about cancer treatment. Even so, for most types of cancer, only a minority of patients currently benefit from ICI therapies. Intrinsic ... -
The PERK Inhibitor GSK2606414 Enhances Reovirus Infection in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma via an ATF4-Dependent Mechanism.
McLaughlin, M; Pedersen, M; Roulstone, V; Bergerhoff, KF; Smith, HG; Whittock, H; Kyula, JN; Dillon, MT; Pandha, HS; Vile, R; Melcher, AA; Harrington, KJ (2020-03)Reovirus type 3 Dearing (reovirus) is a tumor-selective oncolytic virus currently under evaluation in clinical trials. Here, we report that the therapeutic efficacy of reovirus in head and neck squamous cell cancer can be ... -
Ultraviolet radiation accelerates BRAF-driven melanomagenesis by targeting TP53
Marais, Richard Malcolm; Pedersen, Malin (2014-07)Cutaneous melanoma is epidemiologically linked to ultraviolet radiation (UVR), but the molecular mechanisms by which UVR drives melanomagenesis remain unclear(1,2). The most common somatic mutation in melanoma is a V600E ...
