The neural crest‐associated gene ERRFI1 is involved in melanoma progression and resistance toward targeted therapy

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
ERRFI1, a neural crest (NC)‐associated gene, was upregulated in melanoma and negatively correlated with the expression of melanocytic differentiation markers and the susceptibility of melanoma cells toward BRAF inhibitors (BRAFi). Knocking down ERRFI1 significantly increased the sensitivity of melanoma cells to BRAFi.

Glycosylated LGALS3BP is highly secreted by bladder cancer cells and represents a novel urinary disease biomarker

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Urinary LGALS3BP is elevated in bladder cancer patients compared to healthy controls as detected by the 1959 antibody–based ELISA. The antibody shows enhanced reactivity to the high‐mannose glycosylated variant secreted by cancer cells treated with kifunensine (KIF).

Imperial strategy of cancer cells through mitochondrial transfer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Cangkrama et al. demonstrated that cancer cells donate their mitochondria to fibroblasts through mitochondrial transfer, reprogramming them into ‘MitoCAF’. Likewise, our group has identified mitochondrial transfer from cancer cells to tumor infiltrating lymphocytes, resulting in mitochondrial ‘hijack’ and impaired antitumor immunity.

Efficient biosynthesis of heterodimeric C3-aryl pyrroloindoline alkaloids

Nature Communications, 2018
The hexahydropyrrolo[2, 3-b]indole (HPI) framework is found in many natural products. Here, the authors discover a P450 enzyme and develop a whole-cell biocatalysis system that produces the HPI naseseazine C (NAS-C) and 30 NAS-C analogs, several of which

Efficient editing DNA regions with high sequence identity in actinomycetal genomes by a CRISPR-Cas9 system

Synthetic and Systems Biotechnology, 2019
Actinobacteria able to produce varieties of bioactive natural products have been long appreciated by the field of drug discovery and development. Recently, a few of CRISPR/Cas9 systems bearing different types of replicons (pSG5 and pIJ101) were developed
