The mechanism of tumour cell death by metal-based anticancer drugs is not only a matter of DNA interactions

Paul Joseph Dyson, Gianni Sava

Platinum drugs are extensively used in the clinic to treat cancer, often leading to a palliative response rather than a cure. While DNA is considered to be the primary target of platinum drugs, there is no clear relationship between cellular platinum accum ...

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 ...

Improvement of breast cancer diagnosis through microfluidics

Huu Tuan Nguyen

In breast cancer, 15-20% of cases are reported with overexpression of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) that causes rapid cancer progression and poor prognosis. Fortunately, HER2-targeted therapy using specific antibodies such as Trastuzumab ...

Cell-based quantification of biomarkers from an ultra-fast microfluidic immunofluorescent staining: application to breast cancer cell lines

Martinus Gijs, Daniel Migliozzi, Huu Tuan Nguyen

Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is one of the main techniques currently used in the clinics for biomarker characterization. It consists in colorimetric labeling with specific antibodies followed by microscopy analysis. The results are then used for diagnosis an ...

TOWARD THE IDENTIFICATION OF NEW CANCER THERAPY TARGETS USING METABOLIC MODELING IN A HUMAN GENOME SCALE

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Meriç Ataman, Georgios Fengos, Maria Masid Barcon

Cancer is a leading cause of death in the world, and the mechanisms that underlie this disease are still not completely understood. In the last decades, altered tumor metabolism has been recognized as one of the hallmarks of cancer. Modeling the different ...

Dual angiopoietin-2 and VEGFA inhibition elicits antitumor immunity that is enhanced by PD-1 checkpoint blockade

Michele De Palma, Céline Wyser Rmili, Ece Kadioglu, Nicolo Rigamonti, Damya Laoui, Antonino Cassarà

Pathological angiogenesis is a hallmark of cancer and a therapeutic target. Vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) and angiopoietin-2 (ANGPT2; also known as ANG2) are proangiogenic cytokines that sustain tumor angiogenesis and limit antitumor immunit ...

A novel method for sensitive microRNA detection: Electropolymerization based doping

Tugba Kilic

In the proposed study, for the first time, sensitive electrochemical detection of a breast cancer biomarker microRNA (miRNA), mir-21 was achieved via electropolymerized polypyrrole (PPy) modified pencil graphite electrodes (PPy/PGE). The detection of hybri ...

Differential Cytotoxicity, Cellular Uptake, Apoptosis and Inhibition of BRCA1 Expression of BRCA1-Defective and Sporadic Breast Cancer Cells Induced by an Anticancer Ruthenium(II)-Arene Compound, RAPTA-EA1

Paul Joseph Dyson

Background: The RAPTA-EA1 complex [ruthenium(II)-arene 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane (pta) complex with an arene-tethered ethacrynic acid ligand] has been reported to overcome drug resistance that developed due to the current use of platinum-based treat ...

Lysine acetylation stoichiometry and proteomics analyses reveal pathways regulated by sirtuin 1 in human cells

Diego Chiappe

Lysine acetylation is a widespread posttranslational modification affecting many biological pathways. Recent studies indicate that acetylated lysine residues mainly exhibit low acetylation occupancy, but challenges in sample preparation and analysis make i ...

Microfluidics-assisted fluorescence in situ hybridization for advantageous human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 assessment in breast cancer

Martinus Gijs, Raphaël Etienne Jean Trouillon, Maryse Fiche, Huu Tuan Nguyen, Seiya Matsuoka

Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) is one of the recommended techniques for human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) status assessment on cancer tissues. Here we develop microfluidics-assisted FISH (MA-FISH), in which hybridization of the FIS ...
