NRF2 Activation Confers Resistance to eIF4A Inhibitors in Cancer Therapy

Inhibition of the eIF4A RNA helicase with silvestrol and related compounds is emerging as a powerful anti-cancer strategy. We find that a synthetic silvestrol analogue (CR-1-31 B) has nanomolar activity across many cancer cell lines. It is especially activ ...

Roles of Epigenetic Dysregulation in Cancer Progression and Metastasis

Mohammad Sadegh Saghafinia

Nearly all the cells of an organism share the same DNA sequence or genome, and yet they show different phenotypes and carry out different functions. This diversity is made possible by a verity of molecular modifications acting on the DNA sequence that coll ...

Sirt6 deletion in bone marrow-derived cells increases atherosclerosis - Central role of macrophage scavenger receptor 1

Johan Auwerx, Matthias Alexander Sokrates Stein, Julien Weber, Tasneem Arsiwala

Aims: Sirtuin 6 (Sirt6) is a NAD(+)-dependent deacetylase that plays a key role in DNA repair, inflammation and lipid regulation. Sirt6-null mice show severe metabolic defects and accelerated aging. Macrophage-foam cell formation via scavenger receptors is ...

The Periostin/Integrin-alpha v Axis Regulates the Size of Hematopoietic Stem Cell Pool in the Fetal Liver

We earlier showed that outside-in integrin signaling through POSTN-ITGAV interaction plays an important role in regulating adult he-matopoietic stem cell (HSC) quiescence. Here, we show that Itgav deletion results in increased frequency of phenotypic HSCs ...

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 ...

Difference in suitable mechanical properties of three-dimensional, synthetic scaffolds for self-renewing mouse embryonic stem cells of different genetic backgrounds

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Seung Tae Lee

We evaluated whether the genetic background of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) affects the properties suitable for three-dimensional (3D) synthetic scaffolds for cell self-renewal. Inbred R1 and hybrid B6D2F1 mouse ESC lines were cultured for 7 days in hydroge ...

Deficiency for the Cysteine Protease Cathepsin L Impairs Myc-Induced Tumorigenesis in a Mouse Model of Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Cancer

Douglas Hanahan, Ksenya Shchors, Nicola Rae Brindle

Motivated by the recent implication of cysteine protease cathepsin L as a potential target for anti-cancer drug development, we used a conditional MycER(TAM); Bcl-x(L) model of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumorigenesis (PNET) to assess the role of cathepsin ...

The Phosphoinositide 3-Kinase p110 alpha Isoform Regulates Leukemia Inhibitory Factor Receptor Expression via c-Myc and miR-125b to Promote Cell Proliferation in Medulloblastoma

Pascale Anderle Pedone

Medulloblastoma (MB) is the most common malignant brain tumor in childhood and represents the main cause of cancer-related death in this age group. The phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway has been shown to play an important role in the regulation of m ...

Bmi1 regulates murine intestinal stem cell proliferation and self-renewal downstream of Notch

Freddy Radtke, Luca Pellegrinet

Genetic data indicate that abrogation of Notch-Rbpj or Wnt-beta-catenin pathways results in the loss of the intestinal stem cells (ISCs). However, whether the effect of Notch is direct or due to the aberrant differentiation of the transit-amplifying cells ...

Calnexin Controls the STAT3-Mediated Transcriptional Response to EGF

Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg

Calnexin is a well-characterized transnnembrane chaperone involved in the folding of newly synthesized glycoproteins in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Here, we reveal a previously unrecognized function of calnexin in regulating the transcript ...
