Plasma ESR1 Mutations and the Treatment of Estrogen Receptor-Positive Advanced Breast Cancer.
(2016-09)Purpose ESR1 mutations are selected by prior aromatase inhibitor (AI) therapy in advanced breast cancer. We assessed the impact of ESR1 mutations on sensitivity to standard therapies in two phase III randomized trials that ... -
METastasis Reporting and Data System for Prostate Cancer: Practical Guidelines for Acquisition, Interpretation, and Reporting of Whole-body Magnetic Resonance Imaging-based Evaluations of Multiorgan Involvement in Advanced Prostate Cancer.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2017-01-01)CONTEXT: Comparative reviews of whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (WB-MRI) and positron emission tomography/computed tomography (CT; with different radiotracers) have shown that metastasis detection in advanced cancers ... -
Exploiting Protein Conformational Change to Optimize Adenosine-Derived Inhibitors of HSP70.
(AMER CHEMICAL SOC, 2016-05-26)HSP70 is a molecular chaperone and a key component of the heat-shock response. Because of its proposed importance in oncology, this protein has become a popular target for drug discovery, efforts which have as yet brought ... -
The Borg family of Cdc42 effector proteins Cdc42EP1-5.
(PORTLAND PRESS LTD, 2016-12-15)Despite being discovered more than 15 years ago, the Borg (binder of Rho GTPases) family of Cdc42 effector proteins (Cdc42EP1-5) remains largely uncharacterised and relatively little is known about their structure, regulation ... -
PIM1 kinase regulates cell death, tumor growth and chemotherapy response in triple-negative breast cancer.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2016-11-01)Triple-negative breast cancers (TNBCs) have poor prognosis and lack targeted therapies. Here we identified increased copy number and expression of the PIM1 proto-oncogene in genomic data sets of patients with TNBC. TNBC ... -
ESMO consensus guidelines for the management of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer.
(ELSEVIER, 2016-08-01)Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common malignancies in Western countries. Over the last 20 years, and the last decade in particular, the clinical outcome for patients with metastatic CRC (mCRC) has improved ... -
Genetic modifiers of CHEK2*1100delC-associated breast cancer risk.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017-05-01)PURPOSE: CHEK2*1100delC is a founder variant in European populations that confers a two- to threefold increased risk of breast cancer (BC). Epidemiologic and family studies have suggested that the risk associated with ... -
The regulatory isoform rPGRP-LC resolves immune activation through receptor clearance via ESCRT-mediated trafficking

Modeling the prevention of colorectal cancer from the combined impact of host and behavioral risk factors.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017-03-01)PURPOSE: This study investigated the utility of modeling modifiable lifestyle risk factors in addition to genetic variation in colorectal cancer (CRC) screening/prevention. METHODS: We derived a polygenic risk score for ... -
Nanostructures from Synthetic Genetic Polymers.
(WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH, 2016-06-16)Nanoscale objects of increasing complexity can be constructed from DNA or RNA. However, the scope of potential applications could be enhanced by expanding beyond the moderate chemical diversity of natural nucleic acids. ... -
Prostate cancer risk regions at 8q24 and 17q24 are differentially associated with somatic TMPRSS2:ERG fusion status.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2016-12-15)Molecular and epidemiological differences have been described between TMPRSS2:ERG fusion-positive and fusion-negative prostate cancer (PrCa). Assuming two molecularly distinct subtypes, we have examined 27 common PrCa risk ... -
Polyunsaturated fatty acids and prostate cancer risk: a Mendelian randomisation analysis from the PRACTICAL consortium.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2016-08-23)BACKGROUND: Prostate cancer is a common cancer worldwide with no established modifiable lifestyle factors to guide prevention. The associations between polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and prostate cancer risk have been ... -
Antibody-drug conjugates--an emerging class of cancer treatment.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2016-02-16)Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are an emerging novel class of anticancer treatment agents that combines the selectivity of targeted treatment with the cytotoxic potency of chemotherapy drugs. New linker technology associated ... -
Hyperglycemia and Phosphatidylinositol 3-Kinase/Protein Kinase B/Mammalian Target of Rapamycin (PI3K/AKT/mTOR) Inhibitors in Phase I Trials: Incidence, Predictive Factors, and Management.
(ALPHAMED PRESS, 2016-07-01)BACKGROUND: Dysregulation of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B/mammalian target of rapamycin (PI3K/AKT/mTOR) pathway is implicated in human cancer growth and progression. Agents targeting this pathway are ... -
Structure-Based Optimization of Potent, Selective, and Orally Bioavailable CDK8 Inhibitors Discovered by High-Throughput Screening.
(AMER CHEMICAL SOC, 2016-10-27)The mediator complex-associated cyclin dependent kinase CDK8 regulates β-catenin-dependent transcription following activation of WNT signaling. Multiple lines of evidence suggest CDK8 may act as an oncogene in the development ... -
Titration of signalling output: insights into clinical combinations of MEK and AKT inhibitors.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2015-07-01)BACKGROUND: We aimed to understand the relative contributions of inhibiting MEK and AKT on cell growth to guide combinations of these agents. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A panel of 20 cell lines was exposed to either the MEK ... -
Crosstalk between Innate Lymphoid Cells and Other Immune Cells in the Tumor Microenvironment.
(HINDAWI LTD, 2016-01-01)Our knowledge and understanding of the tumor microenvironment (TME) have been recently expanded with the recognition of the important role of innate lymphoid cells (ILC). Three different groups of ILC have been described ...
