Transposon-activated POU5F1B promotes colorectal cancer growth and metastasis

Didier Trono, Laurence Gouzi Abrami, Evaristo Jose Planet Letschert, Julien Léonard Duc, Laia Simo Riudalbas, Sandra Eloise Kjeldsen, Alexandre Coudray, Sagane Dind

The treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC) is an unmet medical need in absence of early diagnosis. Here, upon characterizing cancer-specific transposable element-driven transpochimeric gene transcripts (TcGTs) produced by this tumor in the SYSCOL cohort, we ...

Expression of E-Cadherin in Epithelial Cancer Cells Increases Cell Motility and Directionality through the Localization of ZO-1 during Collective Cell Migration

Hwanseok Jang

Collective cell migration of epithelial tumor cells is one of the important factors for elucidating cancer metastasis and developing novel drugs for cancer treatment. Especially, new roles of E-cadherin in cancer migration and metastasis, beyond the epithe ...

Antiangiogenic immunotherapy suppresses desmoplastic and chemoresistant intestinal tumors in mice

Matthias Lütolf, Michele De Palma, Alan Nicolas Thierry Guichard, Mauro Delorenzi, Mario Leonardo Squadrito, Sina Nassiri, Nikolche Gjorevski, Simone Ragusa, Borja Prat Luri, Laureline Wetterwald

Mutations in APC promote colorectal cancer (CRC) progression through uncontrolled WNT signaling. Patients with desmoplastic CRC have a significantly worse prognosis and do not benefit from chemotherapy, but the mechanisms underlying the differential respon ...

γ-Catenin-Dependent Signals Maintain BCR-ABL1+ B Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Oliver Hantschel, Anja Irmisch

The BCR-ABL1 fusion protein is the cause of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and of a significant fraction of adult-onset B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) cases. Using mouse models and patient-derived samples, we identified an essential role for γ ...

RasGRP1 is a potential biomarker for stratifying anti-EGFR therapy response in colorectal cancer

Mauro Delorenzi, Delphine Yvette L Grun

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most frequent neoplastic disorder and is a main cause of tumor-related mortality, as many patients progress to stage IV metastatic CRC. Standard care consists of combination chemotherapy (FOLFIRI or FOLFOX). Patients wi ...

Glutaredoxin1 Diminishes Amyloid Beta-Mediated Oxidation of F-Actin and Reverses Cognitive Deficits in an Alzheimer's Disease Mouse Model

Bernard Schneider

Aims: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated during Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis through multiple sources are implicated in synaptic pathology observed in the disease. We have previously shown F-actin disassembly in dendritic spines in early AD ( ...

Phage selection of peptide macrocycles against b-catenin to interfere with Wnt signaling

Christian Heinis, Pierre Vincent Dessen, Davide Bertoldo, Maola Khan Mohammad Golam

Upregulation of b-catenin, the primary mediator of the Wnt signaling pathway, plays an important role in the tumorigenesis of several types of human cancer. Targeting b-catenin to interfere with its ability to serve as a translational co-activator is consi ...

Screening of structurally diverse bicyclic peptide libraries by phage display

Davide Bertoldo

Bicyclic peptides are an attractive molecule format for the development of therapeutics and research tools. Our laboratory is specialized on the development of bicyclic peptide ligands by phage display. In brief, libraries of randompeptides each containing ...

Wnt directs the endosomal flux of LDL-derived cholesterol and lipid droplet homeostasis

Olivier Martin, Gerardo Turcatti, Nicolas Jean Philippe Guex, Marc Chambon

The Wnt pathway, which controls crucial steps of the development and differentiation programs, has been proposed to influence lipid storage and homeostasis. In this paper, using an unbiased strategy based on high-content genome-wide RNAi screens that monit ...

SPROUTY2 is a β-catenin and FOXO3a target gene indicative of poor prognosis in colon cancer

Paloma Ordonez Moran, Anja Irmisch

SPROUTY2 (SPRY2) is an intracellular regulator of receptor tyrosine kinase signaling involved in cell growth, differentiation and tumorigenesis. Here, we show that SPRY2 is a target gene of the Wnt/beta-catenin pathway that is abnormally activated in more ...
