Medical and Personal Characteristics Can Predict the Risk of Lung Metastasis

Aims: Understanding the correlations between underlying medical and personal characteristics of a patient with cancer and the risk of lung metastasis may improve clinical management and outcomes. We used machine learning methodologies to predict the risk o ...

Dynamic partitioning of branched-chain amino acids-derived nitrogen supports renal cancer progression

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Maria Masid Barcon, Ming Yang

Metabolic reprogramming is critical for tumor initiation and progression. However, the exact impact of specific metabolic changes on cancer progression is poorly understood. Here, we integrate multimodal analyses of primary and metastatic clonally-related ...

In the past decades, breakthroughs in cancer immunotherapy have led to unprecedented clinical responses in patients with advanced-stage cancers that would otherwise be fatal. However, treatment of many solid organ malignancies with highly immunosuppressive ...

Role of the RNA-binding protein Bicaudal-C1 and interacting factors in cystic kidney diseases

Daniel Constam, Benjamin Marcel Daniel Rothé, Céline Gagnieux, Lucía Carolina Leal Esteban

Polycystic kidneys frequently associate with mutations in individual components of cilia, basal bodies or centriolar satellites that perturb complex protein networks. In this review, we focus on the RNA-binding protein Bicaudal-C1 (BICC1) which was found m ...

Bicaudal C1 promotes pancreatic NEUROG3+ endocrine progenitor differentiation and ductal morphogenesis

Laurence Anne E Lemaire

Mutations in Bicaudal C1 (BICC1), an RNA binding protein involved in translational regulation, have been associated with cystic kidney disease both in humans and in mice. Since kidney cysts associate with pancreatic defects in several human syndromes, we i ...

Regulatory T-Cells and Associated Pathways in Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma (mRCC) Patients Undergoing DC-Vaccination and Cytokine-Therapy

Benita Wolf

To evaluate CD4(+)CD25(+)FOXP3(+) T regulatory cells (T(REG)) and associated immune-regulatory pathways in peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) patients and healthy volunteers. We subsequently investigated the effect ...

Gene Expression Profile of Peripheral Blood Lymphocytes from Renal Cell Carcinoma Patients Treated with IL-2, Interferon-α and Dendritic Cell Vaccine

Benita Wolf

Lymphocytes are a key component of the immune system and their differentiation and function are directly influenced by cancer. We examined peripheral blood lymphocyte (PBL) gene expression as a biomarker of illness and treatment effect using the Affymetrix ...

Bicc1 links the regulation of cAMP signaling in polycystic kidneys to microRNA-induced gene silencing

Daniel Constam, Charlotte Maisonneuve

Genetic defects in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) promote cystic growth of renal tubules, at least in part by stimulating the accumulation of cAMP. How renal cAMP levels are regulated is incompletely understood. We show that cAMP and ...

Role of Bicaudal-C in Left-Right Axis Formation and Kidney Morphogenesis

Charlotte Maisonneuve

The KH domain RNA binding protein Bicaudal-C is known to play a role in anterior-posterior (AP) patterning in Drosophila by acting on oskar mRNA. In mammals, its expression is induced at late gastrulation in the mesodermal layer of the ventral node. Renal ...

Wnt Signaling in Pancreas Development and Cancer

During early somite stages of development, the broad endoderm-derived foregut and hindgut territories become further subdivided along the antero-posterior axis into organs. One of these organs is the pancreas which serves two major physiological functions: ...
