TGF-β induces miR-100 and miR-125b but blocks let-7a through LIN28B controlling PDAC progression.
(2018-05-10)
TGF-β/Activin induces epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and stemness in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). However, the microRNAs (miRNAs) regulated during this response have remained yet undetermined. Here, we ...
Inhibition of CD47 Effectively Targets Pancreatic Cancer Stem Cells via Dual Mechanisms.
(2015-05-15)
PURPOSE: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a cancer of the exocrine pancreas with unmet medical need and is strongly promoted by tumor-associated macrophages (TAM). The presence of TAMs is associated with poor ...
Humanization of bone and bone marrow in an orthotopic site reveals new potential therapeutic targets in osteosarcoma.
(2018-07)
BACKGROUND: Existing preclinical murine models often fail to predict effects of anti-cancer drugs. In order to minimize interspecies-differences between murine hosts and human bone tumors of in vivo xenograft platforms, ...
The combination of CHK1 inhibitor with G-CSF overrides cytarabine resistance in human acute myeloid leukemia.
(2017-11-22)
Cytarabine (AraC) represents the most effective single agent treatment for AML. Nevertheless, overriding AraC resistance in AML remains an unmet medical need. Here we show that the CHK1 inhibitor (CHK1i) GDC-0575 enhances ...
Re-designing Interleukin-12 to enhance its safety and potential as an anti-tumor immunotherapeutic agent.
(2017-11-09)
Interleukin-12 (IL-12) has emerged as one of the most potent agents for anti-tumor immunotherapy. However, potentially lethal toxicity associated with systemic administration of IL-12 precludes its clinical application. ...
