    Aneuploidy generates proteotoxic stress and DNA damage concurrently with p53-mediated post-mitotic apoptosis in SAC-impaired cells

    The molecular mechanism responsible that determines cell fate after mitotic slippage is unclear. Here we investigate the post-mitotic effects of different mitotic aberrations—misaligned chromosomes produced by...

    Combination treatment with a PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway inhibitor overcomes resistance to anti-HER2 therapy in PIK3CA-mutant HER2-positive breast cancer cells

    Amplification and/or overexpression of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) are observed in 15–20% of breast cancers (HER2+ breast cancers), and anti-HER2 therapies have significantly improved progn...

    Potentiality of multiple modalities for single-cell analyses to evaluate the tumor microenvironment in clinical specimens

    Single-cell level analysis is powerful tool to assess the heterogeneity of cellular components in tumor microenvironments (TME). In this study, we investigated immune-profiles using the single-cell analyses of...

    Wnt activation disturbs cell competition and causes diffuse invasion of transformed cells through NF-κB-MMP21 pathway

    Normal epithelial cells exert their competitive advantage over RasV12-transformed cells and eliminate them into the apical lumen via cell competition. However, the internal or external factors that compromise ...

    CDC7 inhibition induces replication stress-mediated aneuploid cells with an inflammatory phenotype sensitizing tumors to immune checkpoint blockade

    Serine/threonine kinase, cell division cycle 7 (CDC7) is critical for initiating DNA replication. TAK-931 is a specific CDC7 inhibitor, which is a next-generation replication stress (RS) inducer. This study pr...
