Open AccessLipids in cancer: a global view of the contribution of lipid pathways to metastatic formation and treatment resistance
Lipids are essential constituents for malignant tumors, as they are absolutely required for tumor growth and dissemination. Provided by the tumor microenvironment (TME) or by cancer cells themselves through ac...

Open AccessLDL receptor-peptide conjugate as in vivo tool for specific targeting of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma
Despite clinical advances in diagnosis and treatment, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains the third leading cause of cancer death, and is still associated with poor prognosis and dismal survival ra...

Open AccessCollagen-derived proline promotes pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma cell survival under nutrient limited conditions
Tissue architecture contributes to pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) phenotypes. Cancer cells within PDAC form gland-like structures embedded in a collagen-rich meshwork where nutrients and oxygen are sc...

Open AccessAkt targeting as a strategy to boost chemotherapy efficacy in non-small cell lung cancer through metabolism suppression
Metabolic reprogramming is a hallmark of cancer development, mediated by genetic and epigenetic alterations that may be pharmacologically targeted. Among oncogenes, the kinase Akt is commonly overexpressed in ...

Open AccessGene expression profiling of tumours derived from rasV12/E1A-transformed mouse embryonic fibroblasts to identify genes required for tumour development
In cancer, cellular transformation is followed by tumour development. Knowledge on the mechanisms of transformation, involving activation of proto-oncogenes and inactivation of tumour-suppressor genes has cons...

Open Accessp8 inhibits the growth of human pancreatic cancer cells and its expression is induced through pathways involved in growth inhibition and repressed by factors promoting cell growth
p8 is a stress-induced protein with multiple functions and biochemically related to the architectural factor HMG-I/Y. We analyzed the expression and function of p8 in pancreatic cancer-derived cells.

Open AccessMice with targeted disruption of p8gene show increased sensitivity to lipopolysaccharide and DNA microarray analysis of livers reveals an aberrant gene expression response
p8 is a DNA-binding protein induced in many tissues in response to LPS treatment. Hence, p8 could be a mediator of LPS-associated effects or, on the contrary, p8 expression may be part of the protective mechan...

Open AccessGene expression profiling by DNA microarray analysis in mouse embryonic fibroblasts transformed by rasV12 mutated protein and the E1A oncogene
Ras is an area of intensive biochemical and genetic studies and characterizing downstream components that relay ras-induced signals is clearly important. We used a systematic approach, based on DNA microarray ...

p8-deficient fibroblasts grow more rapidly and are more resistant to adriamycin-induced apoptosis
p8 is a stress-induced DNA-binding protein, biochemically related to the architectural chromatin binding HMG protein family and whose function is presently unknown. We obtained fibroblast from mice lacking p8 ...

Reg-2 is a motoneuron neurotrophic factor and a signalling intermediate in the CNTF survival pathway
Cytokines that are related to ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) are physiologically important survival factors for motoneurons, but the mechanisms by which they prevent neuronal cell death remain unknown. Reg...
