Differential expression of cancer‐related genes supports prediction of poor response to first‐line treatments in T‐ALL pediatric patients with high minimal residual disease

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
In the present work, we have identified a transcriptional signature based on the differential expression of six genes (BCL2&MAST4, HSH2D&LAT2, METRN&PITPNM2) that would facilitate the early detection of T‐cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T‐ALL) patients prone to a poor treatment response and could be implemented at diagnosis, along with other risk ...

Survival analysis of DNA mutation motifs with penalized proportional hazards

The Annals of Applied Statistics, 2019
Antibodies, an essential part of our immune system, develop through an intricate process to bind a wide array of pathogens. This process involves randomly mutating DNA sequences encoding these antibodies to find variants with improved binding, though mutations are not distributed uniformly across sequence sites. Immunologists observe this nonuniformity

CCDC80 suppresses high‐grade serous ovarian cancer migration via negative regulation of B7‐H3

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
PAX8 is a lineage‐specific master regulator of transcription in high‐grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC) progression. We show for the first time that PAX8 facilitates proliferation and metastasis by repressing the cell autonomous tumor suppressor CCDC80 and inducing B7‐H3 expression.

Utilising Uracil DNA Glycosylase to detect the presence of 5-Methylcytosine

, 2014
DNA is regularly subjected to endogenous and exogenous reagents that cause mutations that can be detrimental to a cell if they are not repaired. One class of enzymes responsible for DNA repair is the family of DNA glycosylases and their role is to remove

E2A selectively regulates TGF‐β–induced apoptosis in KRAS‐mutant non‐small cell lung cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Ability to induce apoptosis by TGF‐β is frequently lost in advanced lung adenocarcinoma despite intact TGF‐β signaling. We identify E2A as a mutant KRAS–dependent mediator of resistance to TGF‐β–induced apoptosis. TGF‐β induces E2A via SMAD3 in mutant KRAS cells, and E2A silencing restores apoptosis and enhances radiation response in cell lines ...

CD47 promotes mitogen‐activated protein kinase and epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition molecular programs to drive prometastatic phenotypes in non‐small cell lung cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Beyond its role in immune evasion, this study identified that CD47 drives tumor‐intrinsic signaling in non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Transcriptomic profiling and functional studies revealed that CD47 regulates cell adhesion, migration, and metastasis through an ERK–EMT signaling axis.

Mutational bias in penguin microsatellite DNA

, 2005
Analysis of nucleotide sequence variation at a microsatellite DNA locus revealed extensive size homoplasy of alleles in Ad鬩e penguins (Pygoscelis adeliae). Variation in the flanking regions at this locus allowed discrimination between mechanisms proposed

EV DNA from pancreatic cancer patient-derived cells harbors molecular, coding, non-coding signatures and mutational hotspots

Communications Biology
DNA packaged into cancer cell-derived EV is not well appreciated. Here, we uncovered signatures of EV DNA secreted by pancreatic cancer cells. The cancer cells and non-cancer counterparts exhibit distinct low vs. high molecular weight (LMW vs.

Integrated routine workflow using next-generation sequencing and a fully-automated platform for the detection of KRAS, NRAS and BRAF mutations in formalin-fixed paraffin embedded samples with poor DNA quality in patients with colorectal carcinoma.

PLoS ONE, 2019
BACKGROUND:KRAS and NRAS mutations are identified resistance mutations to anti-epidermal growth factor receptor monoclonal antibodies in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. BRAF status is also routinely assessed for its poor prognosis value.

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.
