Differential expression of keratin 19 in normal human epithelial tissues revealed by monospecific monoclonal antibodies
Three monospecific monoclonal antibodies (BA16, BA17 and A53—B/A2) recognizing different epitopes of the human keratin 19 were used to determine tissue distribution of this 40 kDa keratin polypeptide. Immunohi...

HLA-DR antigens on differentiating human mammary gland epithelium and breast tumours
The staining pattern of a monoclonal antibody directed to the monomorphic determinant of HLA-DR antigens was examined on sections of human mammary gland tissues at various stages of differentiation as well as ...

Secretory component in differentiating normal epithelium, benign lesions and malignancy in the human breast as monitored by monoclonal antibodies
An immunohistochemical study of the expression of the secretory component (SC) in human mammary gland epithelium at various stages of differentiation, as well as in benign and malignant breast tumours, was und...

Keratin 19 expression in the adult and develo** human mammary gland
In the adult human mammary gland, most of the luminal epithelial cells express keratin 19 (K19+). However, in some small ducts and terminal ductal lobular units where branching would be expected to occur durin...

Establishment and characterization of an immortalized but non-transformed human prostate epithelial cell line: BPH-1
This report describes the development and characterization of an epithelial cell line (BPH-1) from human prostate tissue obtained by transurethral resection. Primary epithelial cell cultures were immortalized ...

Potential role for concurrent abnormalities of the cyclin D1, p16CDKN2 and p15CDKN2B genes in certain B cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas. Functional studies in a cell line (Granta 519)
Abnormalities of several cell-cycle regulatory genes including cyclin D1, p16CDKN2 and p15CDKN2B have been described in B cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (B-NHL). We describe a new B-NHL cell line (Granta 519), with ...

Article
The CHEK2 gene and inherited breast cancer susceptibility
Checkpoint kinase 2 (CHEK2, Chk2) emerges as an important signal transducer of cellular responses to DNA damage and a candidate tumor suppressor whose defects contribute to molecular pathogenesis of diverse ty...

DNA damage response mediators MDC1 and 53BP1: constitutive activation and aberrant loss in breast and lung cancer, but not in testicular germ cell tumours
MDC1 and 53BP1 are critical components of the DNA damage response (DDR) machinery that protects genome integrity and guards against cancer, yet the tissue expression patterns and involvement of these two DDR a...

DNA damage signalling guards against activated oncogenes and tumour progression
DNA damage response (DDR), the guardian of genomic integrity, emerges as an oncogene-inducible biological barrier against progression of cancer beyond its early stages. Recent evidence from both cell culture a...

Article
The DNA damage signalling kinase ATM is aberrantly reduced or lost in BRCA1/BRCA2-deficient and ER/PR/ERBB2-triple-negative breast cancer
The ataxia-telangiectasia-mutated (ATM) kinase is a key transducer of DNA damage signals within the genome maintenance machinery and a tumour suppressor whose germline mutations predispose to familial breast c...

Cytokine expression and signaling in drug-induced cellular senescence
Cellular senescence guards against cancer and modulates aging; however, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here, we show that genotoxic drugs capable of inducing premature senescence in normal...

Article
Replication stress and oxidative damage contribute to aberrant constitutive activation of DNA damage signalling in human gliomas
Malignant gliomas, the deadliest of brain neoplasms, show rampant genetic instability and resistance to genotoxic therapies, implicating potentially aberrant DNA damage response (DDR) in glioma pathogenesis an...

Homozygous deficiency of ubiquitin-ligase ring-finger protein RNF168 mimics the radiosensitivity syndrome of ataxia-telangiectasia
Maintaining genomic integrity is critical to avoid life-threatening disorders, such as premature aging, neurodegeneration and cancer. A multiprotein cascade operates at sites of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs)...

Multicentric breast cancer: clonality and prognostic studies
Clonality of multicentric breast cancer has traditionally been difficult to assess. We aimed to assess this using analysis of TP53 status (expression and mutation status). These results were then incorporated ...

Article
Nucleoporin NUP153 guards genome integrity by promoting nuclear import of 53BP1
53BP1 is a mediator of DNA damage response (DDR) and a tumor suppressor whose accumulation on damaged chromatin promotes DNA repair and enhances DDR signaling. Using foci formation of 53BP1 as a readout in two...

A high resolution genomic portrait of bladder cancer: correlation between genomic aberrations and the DNA damage response
One major challenge in cancer research is to understand the complex interplay between the DNA damage response (DDR), genomic integrity, and tumor development. To address these issues, we analyzed 43 bladder tu...

Article
The DNA damage checkpoint precedes activation of ARF in response to escalating oncogenic stress during tumorigenesis
Oncogenic stimuli trigger the DNA damage response (DDR) and induction of the alternative reading frame (ARF) tumor suppressor, both of which can activate the p53 pathway and provide intrinsic barriers to tumor...

Therapeutic targeting of constitutive PARP activation compromises stem cell phenotype and survival of glioblastoma-initiating cells
Glioblastoma-initiating cells (GICs) are self-renewing tumorigenic sub-populations, contributing to therapeutic resistance via decreased sensitivity to ionizing radiation (IR). GIC survival following IR is att...
