Exploiting synthetic lethal vulnerabilities for cancer therapy [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2016
Synthetic lethality refers to a combination of two or more genetic events (typically affecting different genes) in which the co-occurrence of the events results in cell or organismal lethality, but the cell or organism remains viable when only one of the events occurs.

Identity of an estrogen membrane receptor coupled to a G protein in human breast cancer cells.

open access: yesEndocrinology, 2005
Although nonclassical estrogen actions initiated at the cell surface have been described in many tissues, the identities of the membrane estrogen receptors (mERs) mediating these actions remain unclear.

Enhancer transcripts mark active estrogen receptor binding sites

open access: yesGenome Research, 2013
We have integrated and analyzed a large number of data sets from a variety of genomic assays using a novel computational pipeline to provide a global view of estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1; a.k.a. ERα) enhancers in MCF-7 human breast cancer cells.

Modeling, Simulating, and Parameter Fitting of Biochemical Kinetic Experiments [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2015
In many chemical and biological applications, systems of differential equations containing unknown parameters are used to explain empirical observations and experimental data. The DEs are typically nonlinear and difficult to analyze, requiring numerical methods to approximate the solutions.

Mechanisms of tamoxifen resistance: increased estrogen receptor-HER2/neu cross-talk in ER/HER2-positive breast cancer.

open access: yesJournal of the National Cancer Institute, 2004
BACKGROUND Patients receiving adjuvant tamoxifen whose tumors express high levels of both HER2/neu (HER2) and the estrogen receptor (ER) coactivator AIB1 often develop tamoxifen resistance.

Analysis of differential splicing suggests different modes of short-term splicing regulation [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2016
Motivation: Alternative splicing is an important mechanism in which the regions of pre-mRNAs are differentially joined in order to form different transcript isoforms. Alternative splicing is involved in the regulation of normal physiological functions but also linked to the development of diseases such as cancer.

Inhibition of Rho kinase mediates the neuroprotective effects of estrogen in the MPTP model of Parkinson's disease

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2013
The mechanism by which estrogen protects dopaminergic neurons has not yet been clarified. It is not known if changes in RhoA/Rho kinase activity are involved in the enhanced vulnerability of dopaminergic neurons observed after estrogen depletion.

Siah2 modulates sex-dependent metabolic and inflammatory responses in adipose tissue to a high-fat diet challenge

open access: yesBiology of Sex Differences, 2019
Background The obesity-related risk of developing metabolic syndrome is higher in males than in females of reproductive age, likely due to estrogen-mediated reduced adipose tissue inflammation and fibrosis with hypertrophied adipocytes.
