Circulating Growth and Sex Hormone Levels and Breast Tissue Composition in Young Nulliparous Women.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2018-12-01)BACKGROUND: Endogenous hormones are associated with breast cancer risk, but little is known about their role on breast tissue composition, a strong risk predictor. This study aims to investigate the relationship between ... -
Synthetic Lethality and Cancer - Penetrance as the Major Barrier.
(CELL PRESS, 2018-10-01)Synthetic lethality has long been proposed as an approach for targeting genetic defects in tumours. Despite a decade of screening efforts, relatively few robust synthetic lethal targets have been identified. Improved genetic ... -
Effect of manipulation of primary tumour vascularity on metastases in an adenocarcinoma model
(2002-01-07)One explanation for the clinical association between tumour vascularity and probability of metastasis is that increased primary tumour vascularity enhances haematogenous dissemination by offering greater opportunity for ... -
Translocation t(2;7)(p12;q21-22) with dysregulation of the CDK6 gene mapping to 7q21-22 in a non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma with leukemia
(2002-04)Background and Objectives. A female patient presented with splenomegaly and lymphocytosis with atypical lymphoid cell morphology, We identified t(2;7)(p12;q21) prompting studies of the translocation breakpoint and its ... -
Protein and drug interactions in the minor groove of DNA
(2002-03-01)Interactions between proteins, drugs, water and B-DNA minor groove have been analyzed in crystal structures of 60 protein-DNA and 14 drug-DNA complexes. It was found that only purine N3, pyrimidine O2, guanine N2 and ... -
PRH represses transcription in hematopoietic cells by at least two independent mechanisms
(2001-01-26)PRH (proline-rich homeodomain protein) is strongly expressed in the hematopoietic compartment, Here we show that PRH is a repressor of transcription in hematopoietic cells. A fragment of PRH that includes the homeodomain ... -
Applications of microarray technology in breast cancer research
(BIOMED CENTRAL LTD, 2001)Microarrays provide a versatile platform for utilizing information from the Human Genome Project to benefit human health. This article reviews the ways in which microarray technology may be used in breast cancer research. ... -
Deregulation of the Egfr/Ras signaling pathway induces age-related brain degeneration in the Drosophila mutant vap
(2003-01)Ras signaling has been shown to play an important role in promoting cell survival in many different tissues. Here we show that upregulation of Ras activity in adult Drosophila neurons induces neuronal cell death, as evident ... -
Evaluation of APOBEC3B Recognition Motifs by NMR Reveals Preferred Substrates.
(AMER CHEMICAL SOC, 2018-09-21)APOBEC3B (A3B) deamination activity on ssDNA is considered a contributing factor to tumor heterogeneity and drug resistance in a number of human cancers. Despite its clinical impact, little is known about A3B ssDNA substrate ... -
Combining Mutational Signatures, Clonal Fitness, and Drug Affinity to Define Drug-Specific Resistance Mutations in Cancer.
(CELL PRESS, 2018-11-15)The emergence of mutations that confer resistance to molecularly targeted therapeutics is dependent upon the effect of each mutation on drug affinity for the target protein, the clonal fitness of cells harboring the mutation, ... -
Loss of P16(INK4a) results in increased glucocorticoid receptor activity during fibrosarcoma development
(NATL ACAD SCIENCES, 2003-03-18)‘Glucocorticoids inhibit proliferation of many cell types, but the relationship between the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) and the proteins regulating cell cycle progression is not fully understood. We previously found that ... -
X-inactivation patch size in human female tissue confounds the assessment of tumor clonality
(2003-03-18)Most models of tumorigenesis assume that tumors are monoclonal in origin. This conclusion is based largely on studies using X chromosome-linked markers in females. One important factor, often ignored in such studies, is ... -
Monitoring the Vascular Response and Resistance to Sunitinib in Renal Cell Carcinoma In Vivo with Susceptibility Contrast MRI.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2017-08-01)Antiangiogenic therapy is efficacious in metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). However, the ability of antiangiogenic drugs to delay tumor progression and extend survival is limited, due to either innate or acquired drug ... -
Leveraging Human Genetics to Guide Cancer Drug Development.
(AMER SOC CLINICAL ONCOLOGY, 2018-11-21)PURPOSE: The high attrition rate of cancer drug development programs is a barrier to realizing the promise of precision oncology. We have examined whether the genetic insights from genome-wide association studies of cancer ... -
Age-specific genome-wide association study in glioblastoma identifies increased proportion of 'lower grade glioma'-like features associated with younger age.
(WILEY, 2018-11-15)Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common malignant brain tumor in the United States. Incidence of GBM increases with age, and younger age-at-diagnosis is significantly associated with improved prognosis. While the relationship ... -
Metabolic biomarkers of response to the AKT inhibitor MK-2206 in pre-clinical models of human colorectal and prostate carcinoma.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-10-30)BACKGROUND: AKT is commonly overexpressed in tumours and plays an important role in the metabolic reprogramming of cancer. We have used magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) to assess whether inhibition of AKT signalling ... -
Glucocorticoids inhibit apoptosis during fibrosarcoma development by transcriptionally activating Bcl-x(L)
(AMER SOC BIOCHEMISTRY MOLECULAR BIOLOGY INC, 2003-05-16)Glucocorticoids influence many physiological processes, and in particular apoptosis, often with opposite effects depending on the cell type examined. We found that during fibrosarcoma development there is a strong increase ... -
