Interplay between base excision repair protein XRCC1 and ALDH2 predicts overall survival in lung and liver cancer patients.
(SPRINGER, 2018-10-01)BACKGROUND: To deliver efficacious personalised cancer treatment, it is essential to characterise the cellular metabolism as well as the genetic stability of individual tumours. In this study, we describe a new axis between ... -
PATRIOT: A phase I study to assess the tolerability, safety and biological effects of a specific ataxia telangiectasia and Rad3-related (ATR) inhibitor (AZD6738) as a single agent and in combination with palliative radiation therapy in patients with solid tumours.
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2018-08-01)PATRIOT is a phase I study of the ATR inhibitor, AZD6738, as monotherapy, and in combination with palliative radiotherapy. Here, we describe the protocol for this study, which opened in 2014 and is currently recruiting and ... -
Association of p27 and Cyclin D1 Expression and Benefit from Adjuvant Trastuzumab Treatment in HER2-Positive Early Breast Cancer: A TransHERA Study.
(2018-07)Purpose: To assess the prognostic and predictive value of selected biomarkers involved in cell-cycle regulation or proliferation in patients with HER2-positive early breast cancer.Experimental Design: Protein expression ... -
Breast cancer biomarkers in clinical testing: analysis of a UK national external quality assessment scheme for immunocytochemistry and in situ hybridisation database containing results from 199 300 patients.
(2018-10)We describe a collated data set of results from clinical testing of breast cancers carried out between 2009 and 2016 in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland. More than 199 000 patient biomarker data sets, together ... -
Affinity chromatography and capillary electrophoresis for analysis of the yeast ribosomal proteins
(KOREAN SOCIETY BIOCHEMISTRY & MOLECULAR BIOLOGY, 2012-04-30)We present a top down separation platform for yeast ribosomal proteins using affinity chromatography and capillary electrophoresis which is designed to allow deposition of proteins onto a substrate. FLAG tagged ribosomes ... -
SUMO-mediated regulation of NLRP3 modulates inflammasome activity.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-08-01)The NLRP3 inflammasome responds to infection and tissue damage, and rapidly escalates the intensity of inflammation by activating interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-18 and cell death by pyroptosis. How the NLRP3 inflammasome is ... -
Synthetic lethal therapies for cancer: what's next after PARP inhibitors?
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-06-28)The genetic concept of synthetic lethality has now been validated clinically through the demonstrated efficacy of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors for the treatment of cancers in individuals with germline ... -
Charged particles in radiotherapy: A 5-year update of a systematic review
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2012-04-01)Although proton therapy has been used for many decades because of their superior dose distribution over photons and reduced integral dose, their clinical implementation is still controversial. We updated a systematic review ... -
Role of the Tripartite Motif Protein 27 in Cancer Development
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS INC, 2012-06-01)Background The tripartite motif family protein 27 (TRIM27) is a transcriptional repressor that interacts with, and attenuates senescence induction by, the retinoblastoma-associated protein (RB1). High expression of TRIM27 ... -
Mig6 Is a Sensor of EGF Receptor Inactivation that Directly Activates c-Abl to Induce Apoptosis during Epithelial Homeostasis
(CELL PRESS, 2012-09-11)A fundamental aspect of epithelial homeostasis is the dependence on specific growth factors for cell survival, yet the underlying mechanisms remain obscure. We found an “inverse” mode of receptor tyrosine kinase signaling ... -
Renal cancer biomarkers: the promise of personalized care
(BIOMED CENTRAL LTD, 2012-09-27)Significant advances in our understanding of the biology of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) have been achieved in recent years. These insights have led to the introduction of novel targeted therapies, revolutionising the ... -
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations and expression in squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus in central Asia
(BIOMED CENTRAL LTD, 2012-12-17)Background: Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) shows geographic variations in incidence, with high incidences (>50/10(5) person-years) in central Asia, including North Eastern Iran (Golestan) and Northern India ... -
Aurora B prevents premature removal of spindle assembly checkpoint proteins from the kinetochore: A key role for Aurora B in mitosis.
(2018-04)Accurate chromosome segregation is dependent on the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC). In current models, the key direct role of Aurora B in the SAC has been suggested to be to promote rapid kinetochore localisation of ... -

Effect of SMURF2 Targeting on Susceptibility to MEK Inhibitors in Melanoma
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS INC, 2013-01-01)The mitogen-activated proteinkinase pathway consisting of the kinases RAF, MEK, and ERK is central to cell proliferation and survival and is deregulated in more than 90% of melanomas. MEK inhibitors are currently trialled ... -
Novel 18-gene signature for predicting relapse in ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer.
(BMC, 2018-09-04)BACKGROUND: Several prognostic signatures for early oestrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer have been established with a 10-year follow-up. We tested the hypothesis that signatures optimised for 0-5-year and 5-10-year ... -
The Anaphase Promoting Complex Contributes to the Degradation of the S. cerevisiae Telomerase Recruitment Subunit Est1p
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2013-01-25)Telomerase is a multi-subunit enzyme that reverse transcribes telomere repeats onto the ends of linear eukaryotic chromosomes and is therefore critical for genome stability. S. cerevisiae telomerase activity is cell-cycle ... -
