MGMT methylation analysis of glioblastoma on the Infinium methylation BeadChip identifies two distinct CpG regions associated with gene silencing and outcome, yielding a prediction model for comparisons across datasets, tumor grades, and CIMP-status

The methylation status of the O-6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) gene is an important predictive biomarker for benefit from alkylating agent therapy in glioblastoma. Recent studies in anaplastic glioma suggest a prognostic value for MGMT methyl ...

Defining new criteria for selection of cell-based intestinal models using publicly available databases

Michel Aguet, Mauro Delorenzi, Pascale Anderle Pedone, Thierry Sengstag

Background: The criteria for choosing relevant cell lines among a vast panel of available intestinal-derived lines exhibiting a wide range of functional properties are still ill-defined. The objective of this study was, therefore, to establish objective cr ...

Diagnostic microchip to assay 3D colony-growth potential of captured circulating tumor cells

Matthias Lütolf, Stefan Kobel, Samy Gobaa

Microfluidic technology has been successfully applied to isolate very rare tumor-derived epithelial cells (circulating tumor cells, CTCs) from blood with relatively high yield and purity, opening up exciting prospects for early detection of cancer. However ...

Regulation of tumor invasion by interstitial fluid flow

Melody Swartz, Adrian Chung-Kai Shieh

The importance of the tumor microenvironment in cancer progression is undisputed, yet the significance of biophysical forces in the microenvironment remains poorly understood. Interstitial fluid flow is a nearly ubiquitous and physiologically relevant biop ...

Subtypes of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and their differing responses to therapy

Douglas Hanahan, Anguraj Sadanandam

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) is a lethal disease. Overall survival is typically 6 months from diagnosis(1). Numerous phase 3 trials of agents effective in other malignancies have failed to benefit unselected PDA populations, although patients do ...

HRG inhibits tumor growth and metastasis by inducing macrophage polarization and vessel normalization through downregulation of PlGF

Michele De Palma, Mario Leonardo Squadrito, Damya Laoui

Polarization of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) to a proangiogenic/immune-suppressive (M2-like) phenotype and abnormal, hypoperfused vessels are hallmarks of malignancy, but their molecular basis and interrelationship remains enigmatic. We report that ...

Endogenous Myc maintains the tumor microenvironment

Douglas Hanahan

The ubiquitous deregulation of Myc in human cancers makes it an intriguing therapeutic target, a notion supported by recent studies in Ras-driven lung tumors showing that inhibiting endogenous Myc triggers ubiquitous tumor regression. However, neither the ...

Organometallic ruthenium-based antitumor compounds with novel modes of action

Paul Joseph Dyson, Angela Casini, Wee Han Ang, Gianni Sava

Both metal complexes and organic molecules are widely used for the treatment of various diseases including cancer - in addition to surgery and radiotherapy. Recent years have witnessed a surge of interest in the application of organometallic compounds to t ...

A Cross-Species Analysis of a Mouse Model of Breast Cancer-Specific Osteolysis and Human Bone Metastases Using Gene Expression Profiling

Anguraj Sadanandam

Background: Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related death in women in the United States. During the advanced stages of disease, many breast cancer patients suffer from bone metastasis. These metastases are predominantly osteolytic and d ...

Gene expression analysis of metastases and IL-1R1 characterization in a NALP3 mouse model

Heidi Fournier

Tumor microenvironment contributes strongly to tumor evolution toward metastasis, a final stage in cancer progression. It provides essential clues to promote migration of cancer cells in metastatic sites. Moreover, inflammatory cells and immunomodulatory m ...
