Open AccessMembrane metalloendopeptidase suppresses prostate carcinogenesis by attenuating effects of gastrin-releasing peptide on stem/progenitor cells
Aberrant neuroendocrine signaling is frequent yet poorly understood feature of prostate cancers. Membrane metalloendopeptidase (MME) is responsible for the catalytic inactivation of neuropeptide substrates, an...

Open AccessIdentification of synthetic lethality of PRKDC in MYC-dependent human cancers by pooled shRNA screening
MYC family members are among the most frequently deregulated oncogenes in human cancers, yet direct therapeutic targeting of MYC in cancer has been challenging thus far. Synthetic lethality provides an opportu...

Prostate Stem Cells and Cancer in Animals
The mouse prostate has been the primary focus of research in regards to both normal stem cells and cancer stem cell-like cell populations in the animal prostate. The proximal region is the probable location of...

Open AccessPro-neural transcription factors as cancer markers
The aberrant transcription in cancer of genes normally associated with embryonic tissue differentiation at various organ sites may be a hallmark of tumour progression. For example, neuroendocrine differentiati...

Molecular cloning and characterization of a novel Dehydrogenase/reductase (SDR family) member 1 genea from human fetal brain
Short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR) constitute a large protein family of NAD(P)(H)-dependent oxidoreductase. They are defined by distinct, common sequence motifs and show a wide range of substrate spec...

Cloning and Characterization of KLHL5, a Novel Human Gene Encoding a Kelch-Related Protein with a BTB Domain
Most kelch family proteins contain two conserved domains, the BTB domain and the kelch repeat domain. Here we describe the cloning and characterization of a novel human KLHL5 gene. The 3488 bp cDNA encodes a kelc...

Identification of a Human LNX Protein Containing Multiple PDZ Domains
Recently PDZ5 domains have been recognized as crucial organizers of protein complexes at the plasma membrane. Here we report the cloning of a novel 3.7-kb cDNA LNX from a human fetal brain cDNA library. The deduc...
