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 ...
A 3D tumor microenvironment regulates cell proliferation, peritoneal growth and expression patterns.
(2019-01)
Peritoneal invasion through the mesothelial cell layer is a hallmark of ovarian cancer metastasis. Using tissue engineering technologies, we recreated an ovarian tumor microenvironment replicating this aspect of disease ...
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. ...
CADM1 inhibits squamous cell carcinoma progression by reducing STAT3 activity.
(Springer Nature, 2016-04-01)
Although squamous cell carcinomas (SqCCs) of the lungs, head and neck, oesophagus, and cervix account for up to 30% of cancer deaths, the mechanisms that regulate disease progression remain incompletely understood. Here, ...
A genome-wide screen identifies YAP/WBP2 interplay conferring growth advantage on human epidermal stem cells.
(2017-03-23)
Individual human epidermal cells differ in their self-renewal ability. To uncover the molecular basis for this heterogeneity, we performed genome-wide pooled RNA interference screens and identified genes conferring a clonal ...
Building invitro 3D human multicellular models of high-grade serous ovarian cancer.
(2022-03-18)
Three-dimensional (3D), multicellular invitro models provide a useful platform for studying human cancer biology, particularly through deconvolution of the tumor microenvironment, or where animal models do not recapitulate ...
Nuclear import impairment causes cytoplasmic trans-activation response DNA-binding protein accumulation and is associated with frontotemporal lobar degeneration.
(2010-06)
Trans-activation response DNA-binding protein (TDP-43) accumulation is the major component of ubiquitinated protein inclusions found in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and frontotemporal lobar degeneration ...
Hexanucleotide repeats in ALS/FTD form length-dependent RNA foci, sequester RNA binding proteins, and are neurotoxic.
(2013-12-12)
The GGGGCC (G4C2) intronic repeat expansion within C9ORF72 is the most common genetic cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Intranuclear neuronal RNA foci have been observed in ALS ...
