The role of LRRK2 in lung adenocarcinoma

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide and the most common lung cancer subtype is lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). Frequently mutated genes involve activating mutations in KRAS and loss of function mutations in TP53. LUADs primarily ...

Novel quantitative bioengineered tools to track human bone marrow niche cellular constituents in health and disease

Rita Sarkis

Acute leukemia has a high mortality rate of approximately 50%, and current methods are not effective in predicting disease progression and relapse. To improve our understanding of hematopoiesis and develop new markers for predicting disease relapse in dead ...

Apelin-driven endothelial cell migration sustains intestinal progenitor cells and tumor growth

Michele De Palma, Nadine Fournier, Sina Nassiri, Stefanie Siegert, Mauro Delorenzi, Mario Leonardo Squadrito, Pascale Anderle Pedone, Simone Ragusa, François Renevey

Stem and progenitor cells residing in the intestinal crypts drive the majority of colorectal cancers (CRCs), yet vascular contribution to this niche remains largely unexplored. Vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) is a key driver of physiological a ...

Combined deletion of Glut1 and Glut3 impairs lung adenocarcinoma growth

Rolf Gruetter, Anders Meibom, Graham Knott, Bernard Lanz, Stéphane Laurent Escrig, Nadine Fournier, Mario Gaetano Lepore, Etienne Meylan, Louise Helene Soegaard Jensen, Caroline Anne-Lyse Contat

Glucose utilization increases in tumors, a metabolic process that is observed clinically by F-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (F-18-FDG-PET). However, is increased glucose uptake important for tumor cells, and which transporters are impl ...

De novo development of proteolytically resistant therapeutic peptides for oral administration

Christian Heinis, Luciano Andres Abriata, Florence Pojer, Xudong Kong, Vanessa Carle, Kaycie Marie Butler, Jun Moriya

The oral administration of peptide drugs is hampered by their metabolic instability and limited intestinal uptake. Here, we describe a method for the generation of small target-specific peptides (less than 1,600 Da in size) that resist gastrointestinal pro ...

Expression of Prox1 in Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma Is Associated with Chromogranin A and Calcitonin Expression and with Ki67 Proliferative Index, but Not with Prognosis

Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) has been shown to express Prospero homeobox protein 1 (Prox1), a transcription factor whose expression is altered in a variety of human cancers. We conducted a retrospective study on a series of 32 patients with MTC to tes ...

CSL controls telomere maintenance and genome stability in human dermal fibroblasts

Joachim Lingner, Thomas Frédéric Lunardi, Paris Jafari

Genomic instability is a hallmark of cancer. Whether it also occurs in Cancer Associated Fibroblasts (CAFs) remains to be carefully investigated. Loss of CSL/RBP-J kappa, the effector of canonical NOTCH signaling with intrinsic transcription repressive fun ...

Nanowire Sensors in Cancer

Sandro Carrara

In 2006, the group of Dr C.M. Lieber pioneered the field of nanowire sensors by fabricating devices for the ultra-sensitive label-free detection of biological macromolecules. Since then, nanowire sensors have demonstrated their ability to detect cancer-ass ...

Rapid Screen for Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor Resistance Mutations and Substrate Specificity

Sandrine Madeleine Suzanne Georgeon, Oliver Hantschel, Sina Maren Reckel

We present a rapid and high-throughput yeast and flow cytometry based method for predicting kinase inhibitor resistance mutations and determining kinase peptide substrate specificity. Despite the widespread success of targeted kinase inhibitors as cancer t ...

Pan-Cancer Landscape of Aberrant DNA Methylation across Human Tumors

Douglas Hanahan, Mohammad Sadegh Saghafinia, Giovanni Ciriello, Marco Mina

The discovery of cancer-associated alterations has primarily focused on genetic variants. Nonetheless, altered epigenomes contribute to deregulate transcription and promote oncogenic pathways. Here, we designed an algorithmic approach (RESET) to identify a ...
