Inhibition of WNT signaling attenuates self-renewal of SHH-subgroup medulloblastoma
The SMOOTHENED inhibitor vismodegib is FDA approved for advanced basal cell carcinoma (BCC), and shows promise in clinical trials for SONIC HEDGEHOG (SHH)-subgroup medulloblastoma (MB) patients. Clinical exper...

Overexpression of ERG in cord blood progenitors promotes expansion and recapitulates molecular signatures of high ERG leukemias
High expression of the ETS family transcription factor ERG is associated with poor clinical outcome in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and acute T-cell lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL). In murine models, high ERG e...

Synthetic lethal screening reveals FGFR as one of the combinatorial targets to overcome resistance to Met-targeted therapy
Met is a receptor tyrosine kinase that promotes cancer progression. In addition, Met has been implicated in resistance of tumors to various targeted therapies such as epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitor...

A role for oleoylethanolamide in chronic lymphocytic leukemia
Oleoylethanolamide (OEA) is a bioactive lipid that stimulates nuclear and G protein-coupled receptors and regulates appetite and fat metabolism. It has not previously been shown to have a role in cancer. Howev...

Estimating risks for variants of unknown significance according to their predicted pathogenicity classes with application to BRCA1
Sequence-based testing of disease-susceptibility genes has identified many variants of unknown significance (VUSs) whose pathogenicity is unknown at the time of their measurement. Female breast cancer cases ag...

PPAR-alpha is a therapeutic target for chronic lymphocytic leukemia
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cells with aggressive clinical properties express lipoprotein lipase (LPL), which generates activating ligands for the nuclear receptor peroxisome proliferator activated rece...

Identification of a pivotal endocytosis motif in c-Met and selective modulation of HGF-dependent aggressiveness of cancer using the 16-mer endocytic peptide
Since c-Met has an important role in the development of cancer, it is considered as an attractive target for cancer therapy. Although molecular mechanisms for oncogenic property of c-Met have been actively inv...

Membrane microparticles mediate transfer of P-glycoprotein to drug sensitive cancer cells
Multidrug resistance (MDR), a significant impediment to the successful treatment of cancer clinically, has been attributed to the overexpression of P-glycoprotein (P-gp), a plasma membrane multidrug efflux tra...

Defective TGF-β signaling sensitizes human cancer cells to rapamycin
mTOR, the mammalian target of rapamycin, is a critical target of survival signals in many human cancers. In the absence of serum, rapamycin induces apoptosis in MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cells. However, i...

Extensive areas of aneuploidy are present in the respiratory epithelium of lung cancer patients
According to the field cancerisation theory the entire upper aerodigestive tract has been mutagenised, thereby placing the affected individual at risk for the development of one or more cancers. To investigate...

The In Vitro Analysis of Biochemical Changes Relevant to Skin Carcinogenesis
The phenotypic alterations produced in mouse skin cells during the multistage development of squamous cancer have been well documented. In normal skin, all proliferating cells are confined to the basal cell co...
