Molecular Features of the Serrated Pathway to Colorectal Cancer: Current Knowledge and Future Directions

open access: yesGut and Liver, 2021
Serrated lesions are the precursor lesions of a new model of colorectal carcinogenesis. From a molecular standpoint, the serrated pathway is thought to be responsible for up to 30% of all colorectal cancer cases.

Antitumor activity of the ERK inhibitor SCH772984 [corrected] against BRAF mutant, NRAS mutant and wild-type melanoma. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
BackgroundIn melanoma, dysregulation of the MAPK pathway, usually via BRAF(V600) or NRAS(Q61) somatic mutations, leads to constitutive ERK signaling.

Exploiting metabolic adaptations to overcome dabrafenib treatment resistance in melanoma cells

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We show that dabrafenib‐resistant melanoma cells undergo mitochondrial remodeling, leading to elevated respiration and ROS production balanced by stronger antioxidant defenses. This altered redox state promotes survival despite mitochondrial damage but renders resistant cells highly vulnerable to ROS‐inducing compounds such as PEITC, highlighting redox

Peroxidasin enables melanoma immune escape by inhibiting natural killer cell cytotoxicity

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Peroxidasin (PXDN) is secreted by melanoma cells and binds the NK cell receptor NKG2D, thereby suppressing NK cell activation and cytotoxicity. PXDN depletion restores NKG2D signaling and enables effective NK cell–mediated melanoma killing. These findings identify PXDN as a previously unrecognized immune evasion factor and a potential target to improve

In vivo E2F reporting reveals efficacious schedules of MEK1/2–CDK4/6 targeting and mTOR–s6 resistance mechanisms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Targeting cyclin-dependent kinases 4/6 (CDK4/6) represents a therapeutic option in combination with BRAF inhibitor and/or MEK inhibitor (MEKi) in melanoma; however, continuous dosing elicits toxicities in patients. Using quantitative and temporal in vivo

Tumor mutational burden as a determinant of metastatic dissemination patterns

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study performed a comprehensive analysis of genomic data to elucidate whether metastasis in certain organs share genetic characteristics regardless of cancer type. No robust mutational patterns were identified across different metastatic locations and cancer types.

Association between braf gene mutation status and clinical-morphological features of cutaneous melanoma

open access: yesКубанский научный медицинский вестник, 2016
This study identified associations between mutation status of the BRAF gene and the clinico-morphological features of melanoma patients in the South of Russia of the age group over 55 years.

Development of animal models to study aggressive thyroid cancers

open access: yesEuropean Thyroid Journal
The development of mouse models for thyroid cancer has significantly advanced over the years, enhancing our understanding of thyroid tumorigenesis, molecular pathways and treatment responses. The earliest mouse models of thyroid cancer relied on hormone,

The Role and Importance of Molecular Tests in Approach to Thyroid Nodules

open access: yesTurkish Archives of Otorhinolaryngology, 2016
Although there is a significant increase in the detection of thyroid cancer because of the widespread utilization of ultrasound and fine needle aspiration biopsy, sometimes these techniques prove inefficient for diagnosis.

BRAF Gene and Melanoma: Back to the Future

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021
As widely acknowledged, 40–50% of all melanoma patients harbour an activating BRAF mutation (mostly BRAF V600E). The identification of the RAS–RAF–MEK–ERK (MAP kinase) signalling pathway and its targeting has represented a valuable milestone for the ...
