Histone Code and Higher-Order Chromatin Folding: A Hypothesis.
(Kernel Press UG (haftungsbeschrankt), 2017-01-01)Histone modifications alone or in combination are thought to modulate chromatin structure and function; a concept termed histone code. By combining evidence from several studies, we investigated if the histone code can ... -
Super-resolution structured illumination microscopy: past, present and future.
(ROYAL SOC, 2021-06-14)Structured illumination microscopy (SIM) has emerged as an essential technique for three-dimensional (3D) and live-cell super-resolution imaging. However, to date, there has not been a dedicated workshop or journal issue ... -
PBAF loss leads to DNA damage-induced inflammatory signaling through defective G2/M checkpoint maintenance.
(COLD SPRING HARBOR LAB PRESS, PUBLICATIONS DEPT, 2022-07-28)The PBRM1 subunit of the PBAF (SWI/SNF) chromatin remodeling complex is mutated in ∼40% of clear cell renal cancers. PBRM1 loss has been implicated in responses to immunotherapy in renal cancer, but the mechanism is unclear. ... -
Super-resolution microscopy: a brief history and new avenues.
(ROYAL SOC, 2022-04-04)Super-resolution microscopy (SRM) is a fast-developing field that encompasses fluorescence imaging techniques with the capability to resolve objects below the classical diffraction limit of optical resolution. Acknowledged ... -
Defining Signatures of Arm-Wise Copy Number Change and Their Associated Drivers in Kidney Cancers.
(MDPI, 2019-11-16)Using pan-cancer data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), we investigated how patterns in copy number alterations in cancer cells vary both by tissue type and as a function of genetic alteration. We find that patterns in ... -
Discovery and Optimization of a Selective Ligand for the Switch/Sucrose Nonfermenting-Related Bromodomains of Polybromo Protein-1 by the Use of Virtual Screening and Hydration Analysis.
(AMER CHEMICAL SOC, 2016-10-13)Bromodomains (BRDs) are epigenetic interaction domains currently recognized as emerging drug targets for development of anticancer or anti-inflammatory agents. In this study, development of a selective ligand of the fifth ... -
Epigenetic changes in histone acetylation underpin resistance to the topoisomerase I inhibitor irinotecan.
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2016-10-26)The topoisomerase I (TOP1) inhibitor irinotecan triggers cell death by trapping TOP1 on DNA, generating cytotoxic protein-linked DNA breaks (PDBs). Despite its wide application in a variety of solid tumors, the mechanisms ... -
The Diagnostic Accuracy of 18 F-FGD-PET/CT for Cancer of the Gallbladder: A Retrospective Study.
(THIEME MEDICAL PUBL INC, 2022-06-01)Background Gallbladder cancer has a poor prognosis and imaging can have variable diagnostic accuracy. We assessed the ability of preoperative 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography computed tomography ( 18 ... -
Systemic treatment of advanced clear cell sarcoma: results from a retrospective international series from the World Sarcoma Network.
(ELSEVIER, 2022-06-01)BACKGROUND: Clear cell sarcoma (CCS) is a translocated aggressive malignancy with a high incidence of metastases and poor prognosis. There are few studies describing the activity of systemic therapy in CCS. We report a ... -
Reclassification of clinically-detected sequence variants: Framework for genetic clinicians and clinical scientists by CanVIG-UK (Cancer Variant Interpretation Group UK).
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2022-06-03)PURPOSE: Variant classifications may change over time, driven by emergence of fresh or contradictory evidence or evolution in weighing or combination of evidence items. For variant classifications above the actionability ... -
Radiotherapy to the prostate for men with metastatic prostate cancer in the UK and Switzerland: Long-term results from the STAMPEDE randomised controlled trial.
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2022-06-01)BACKGROUND: STAMPEDE has previously reported that radiotherapy (RT) to the prostate improved overall survival (OS) for patients with newly diagnosed prostate cancer with low metastatic burden, but not those with high-burden ... -
Perspectives on the Risk-Stratified Treatment of Multiple Myeloma.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2022-07-06)The multiple myeloma treatment landscape has changed dramatically. This change, paralleled by an increase in scientific knowledge, has resulted in significant improvement in survival. However, heterogeneity remains in ... -
Optimizing Shape Complementarity Enables the Discovery of Potent Tricyclic BCL6 Inhibitors.
(AMER CHEMICAL SOC, 2022-06-23)To identify new chemical series with enhanced binding affinity to the BTB domain of B-cell lymphoma 6 protein, we targeted a subpocket adjacent to Val18. With no opportunities for strong polar interactions, we focused on ... -
Improved Binding Affinity and Pharmacokinetics Enable Sustained Degradation of BCL6 In Vivo.
(AMER CHEMICAL SOC, 2022-06-23)The transcriptional repressor BCL6 is an oncogenic driver found to be deregulated in lymphoid malignancies. Herein, we report the optimization of our previously reported benzimidazolone molecular glue-type degrader CCT369260 ... -
Frailty-adjusted therapy in Transplant Non-Eligible patients with newly diagnosed Multiple Myeloma (FiTNEss (UK-MRA Myeloma XIV Trial)): a study protocol for a randomised phase III trial.
(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2022-06-02)INTRODUCTION: Multiple myeloma is a bone marrow cancer, which predominantly affects older people. The incidence is increasing in an ageing population.Over the last 10 years, patient outcomes have improved. However, this ... -
Estrogen receptor positive breast cancers have patient specific hormone sensitivities and rely on progesterone receptor.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2022-06-06)Estrogen and progesterone receptor (ER, PR) signaling control breast development and impinge on breast carcinogenesis. ER is an established driver of ER + disease but the role of the PR, itself an ER target gene, is debated. ... -
KIT-Associated Familial GIST Syndrome: Response to Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors and Implications for Risk Management.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2022-08-05)Sporadic gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are rare tumors, with a median age at diagnosis of 60 years. Familial GISTs are very rare and typically associated with earlier onset, with an average age at diagnosis of 48 ... -
