Consensus findings of an International Workshops on Genotoxicity Testing workshop on using transcriptomic biomarkers to predict genotoxicity

open access: yesEnvironmental and Molecular Mutagenesis, EarlyView.
Abstract Gene expression biomarkers have the potential to identify genotoxic and non‐genotoxic carcinogens, providing opportunities for integrated testing and reducing animal use. In August 2022, an International Workshops on Genotoxicity Testing (IWGT) workshop was held to critically review current methods to identify genotoxicants using ...

Critical Evaluation of Methods for the Identification of Aneugens

open access: yesEnvironmental and Molecular Mutagenesis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The genotoxic potential of chemicals must be evaluated in regulatory safety assessment settings, including but not limited to, the development of new pharmaceuticals, industrial chemicals, food and cosmetic ingredients, and agrochemicals. Initial assessment of the chromosome‐damaging potential of chemicals is often conducted in mammalian cells

Mechanisms of enhancer‐driven oncogene activation

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
Abstract An aggressive subtype of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is caused by enhancer hijacking resulting in MECOM overexpression. Several chromosomal rearrangements can lead to this: the most common (inv(3)/t(3;3)) results in a hijacked GATA2 enhancer, and there are several atypical MECOM rearrangements involving enhancers from other hematopoietic ...

Deregulated enhancer‐promoter communication in cancer through altered nuclear architecture

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
Abstract Enhancers are critical regulators of gene expression. Structural variations in cancer genomes can lead to enhancer hijacking, where oncogenes are activated by mistargeted enhancer activity. Novel enhancer‐promoter interactions may also arise through chromosomal rearrangements that create extrachromosomal DNA elements.

Chromosomal instability and genomic alterations in cholangiocarcinoma from Northeastern Thailand

open access: yesThe Journal of Pathology, EarlyView.
Abstract Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a lethal cancer of the bile duct and is a major health concern in several parts of the world, including northeastern Thailand, where CCA incidence is the highest due to the endemic liver fluke Opisthorchis viverrini.

Key Regulators of Parasite Biology Viewed Through a Post‐Translational Modification Repertoire

open access: yesPROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Parasites are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in both humans and animals, imposing substantial socioeconomic burdens worldwide. Controlling parasitic diseases has become one of the key issues in achieving “One Health”. Most parasites have sophisticated life cycles exhibiting progressive developmental stages, morphologies, and ...
