KDM7A and KDM1A inhibition suppresses tumour promoting pathways in prostate cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Treatment resistance is a major challenge for patients with advanced prostate cancer. This study examined an alternative approach to target the major prostate cancer‐promoting pathway by targeting epigenetic factors, whose levels are higher in tumours.

TP53 exon-6 truncating mutations produce separation of function isoforms with pro-tumorigenic functions

eLife, 2016
TP53 truncating mutations are common in human tumors and are thought to give rise to p53-null alleles. Here, we show that TP53 exon-6 truncating mutations occur at higher than expected frequencies and produce proteins that lack canonical p53 tumor ...

Heterozygous loss‐of‐function alleles associate the conserved 3′‐5′ exoribonuclease EXOSC10 with hypersensitivity to the anticancer drug 5‐fluorouracil

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
EXOSC10, an essential nuclear RNA exosome‐associated 3′‐5′ exoribonuclease, is inhibited by the anticancer drug 5‐fluorouracil (5‐FU), and EXOSC10 depletion increases 5‐FU sensitivity. The colon‐cancer variant EXOSC10S402T, located in a proteolysis motif, is stable and nuclear but nonfunctional in vivo.

Encapsulation of Gemcitabine on Porphyrin Aluminum Metal-Organic Framework by Mechano-Chemistry, Delayed Drug Release and Cytotoxicity to Pancreatic Cancer PANC-1 Cells

Molecules
Gemcitabine is a widely used antimetabolite drug of pyrimidine structure, which can exist as a free-base molecular form (Gem). The encapsulated forms of medicinal drugs are of interest for delayed and local drug release.

Cell‐cycle‐specific lesion evolution rather than inhibition of double‐strand‐break repair underpins cisplatin radiosensitization

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We analyze cisplatin–DNA adducts (CDAs) and double‐strand breaks (DSBs) in a cell‐cycle‐dependent manner. We find that CDAs form similarly across all cell cycle phases. DSBs arise only in S‐phase. CDAs might not directly impair DSB repair, but S‐phase DSB lesions evolve in the presence of CDAs and disrupt repair in G2, also causing radiosensitization ...

Proteasome inhibitor, ixazomib prevents topoisomerase‐I degradation and reverses irinotecan resistance in colorectal cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Ixazomib inhibits proteasome‐mediated degradation of topoisomerase I induced by irinotecan, thereby restoring drug sensitivity and promoting tumor cell death in colorectal cancer. Irinotecan, a topoisomerase I (topoI) inhibitor, is widely used for colorectal cancer, but resistance remains a major clinical challenge.

Rapid and Sensitive Detection of Troponin I-T-C Complex from Human Serum using Microwave-Accelerated Metal-Enhanced Fluorescence

Nano Biomedicine and Engineering, 2011
We present the rapid and sensitive detection of Troponin I-T-C (Tn I-T-C) complex from buffer and human serum samples using Microwave-Accelerated and Metal-Enhanced Fluorescence (MA-MEF) technique, which is based on the combined use of low power ...

Cold chemistry with electronically excited Ca+ Coulomb crystals

The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2010
Rate constants for chemical reactions of laser-cooled Ca+ ions and neutral polar molecules (CH3F, CH2F2, or CH3Cl) have been measured at low collision energies (⟨Ecoll⟩/kB=5–243 K). Low kinetic energy ensembles of C40a+ ions are prepared through Doppler laser cooling to form “Coulomb crystals” in which the ions form a latticelike arrangement in the ...

Loss of IGF‐1R impairs DNA‐PKcs recruitment to chromatin leading to defective end‐joining

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
IGF‐1R promotes radioresistance by facilitating DNA‐PKcs recruitment to chromatin, enabling non‐homologous end‐joining (NHEJ) repair of double‐strand breaks. Inhibition or loss of IGF‐1R disrupts this recruitment to damage sites, driving compensatory reliance on microhomology‐mediated end‐joining (MMEJ) repair.
