The ubiquitin system in normal and infected germinal center B cells

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The ubiquitin system plays a central role in germinal center (GC) B cells, influencing differentiation to long‐lived memory B cells. Oncogenic gammaherpesviruses gain access to memory B cells by establishing latency in GC B cells. Mapping ubiquitin mechanisms in normal and infected GC B cells will define specific molecular circuits in B cells germane ...

Metastatic niche shaped by host factors influences disseminated cancer cell fate

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Metastasis is shaped not only by cancer cells but also by the environments they encounter. This review explores how factors such as aging, diet, the microbiome, lifestyle, and environmental exposures remodel organ‐specific niches in the lung, liver, bone, and brain, influencing where metastatic cells survive, remain dormant, or grow, and ultimately ...

BET inhibition silences expression of MYCN and BCL2 and induces cytotoxicity in neuroblastoma tumor models.

PLoS ONE, 2013
BET family proteins are epigenetic regulators known to control expression of genes involved in cell growth and oncogenesis. Selective inhibitors of BET proteins exhibit potent anti-proliferative activity in a number of hematologic cancer models, in part ...

Smaller is better: nanobodies meet NMR

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nanobodies are single‐domain antigen‐binding fragments derived from camelid heavy chain antibodies. Their small size, high stability, and exceptional specificity make nanobodies uniquely useful probes for NMR studies of protein dynamics, transient conformational states, and protein–protein interactions.

Bromodomain proteins as potential therapeutic targets for B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma

Cell & Bioscience
Background B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL) is the most common type of lymphoma and is significantly heterogeneous among various subtypes. Despite of considerable advancements in treatment strategies for B-NHL, the prognosis of relapsed/refractory ...

The role of miR‐335‐5p in the redifferentiation of BRAF p.V600E thyroid cancers

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
The BRAF p.V600E mutation promotes thyroid cancer dedifferentiation and radioiodine resistance. Using a network approach, we identified miR‐335‐5p as a key regulator of BRAF‐mutated thyroid tumors. Restoring miR‐335‐5p increased thyroid‐specific gene expression and iodine uptake in cells and organoids.

Developmental programmes drive cellular plasticity, disease progression and therapy resistance in lung adenocarcinoma

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study shows that lung adenocarcinomas exploit developmental branching morphogenesis to acquire a therapy resistant basal‐like tumour cell state. This process was found to be regulated by combined TP53 loss‐of‐function and type‐I interferon signalling, identifying a novel axis for biomarker and therapeutic target discovery.

BRD4 inhibition suppresses histone H4 UFMylation to increase ferroptosis sensitivity through TXNIP

Cell Death and Disease
Bromodomain Containing 4 (BRD4) inhibition selectively alters gene transcription, which subsequently influences cellular responses to BET inhibitors.

Targeting Cancer Cells with BET Bromodomain Inhibitors

, 2017
Cancer cells are often hypersensitive to the targeting of transcriptional regulators, which may reflect the deregulated gene expression programs that underlie malignant transformation.

Finding novel vulnerabilities of hypomorphic BRCA1 alleles

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Synthetic lethality screens performed to identify novel vulnerabilities often model complete gene loss, thereby overlooking patient‐derived hypomorphic mutations. In this study, we have performed genome‐wide CRISPR screens on BRCA1 hypomorphic mutations, showing BRCA1I26A behaves like wild‐type, while BRCA1R1699Q mimics deficiency. Furthermore, we have
