Ligand-induced oligomerization of the human GPCR neurotensin receptor 1 monitored in living HEK293T cells [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2019
The human neurotensin receptor 1 (NTSR1) is a G protein-coupled receptor that can be expressed in HEK293T cells by stable transfection. Its ligand is a 13-amino-acid peptide that binds with nanomolar affinity from the extracellular side to NTSR1. Ligand binding induces conformational changes that trigger the intracellular signaling processes.

Obesity alters the fitness of peritumoral adipose tissue, exacerbating tumor invasiveness in renal cancer through the induction of ADAM12 and CYP1B1

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Tumor microenvironment drives cancer formation and progression. We analyzed the role of human cancer‐associated adipocytes from patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) stratified as lean, overweight, or obese. RNA‐seq demonstrated that, among the most altered genes involved in the tumor–stroma crosstalk, are ADAM12 and CYP1B1, which were proven to be ...

G-protein-coupled receptors for free fatty acids: nutritional and therapeutic targets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
It is becoming evident that nutrients and metabolic intermediates derived from such nutrients regulate cellular function by activating a number of cell-surface G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs).

Addressing persistent challenges in digital image analysis of cancer tissue: resources developed from a hackathon

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Large multidimensional digital images of cancer tissue are becoming prolific, but many challenges exist to automatically extract relevant information from them using computational tools. We describe publicly available resources that have been developed jointly by expert and non‐expert computational biologists working together during a virtual hackathon

Acidic Tumor Microenvironment and pH-Sensing G protein-Coupled Receptors

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2013
The tumor microenvironment is acidic due to glycolytic cancer cell metabolism, hypoxia, and deficient blood perfusion. It is proposed that acidosis in the tumor microenvironment is an important stress factor and selection force for cancer cell somatic ...

Theory for the optimal detection of time-varying signals in cellular sensing systems [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2019
Living cells often need to measure chemical concentrations that vary in time. To this end, they deploy many resources, e.g. receptors, downstream signaling molecules, time and energy. Here, we present a theory for the optimal design of a large class of sensing systems that need to detect time-varying signals, a receptor driving a push-pull network. The

Impact of molecular diagnostics and targeted cancer therapy on patient outcomes (MODIFY): a retrospective study of the implementation of precision oncology

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
The authors conducted a retrospective study of 94 patients with advanced cancer who underwent next‐generation sequencing (NGS) gene panel analysis and received targeted treatments when applicable. Results further support evidence indicating that molecular profiling provides clinical benefit.
