Clonal and microclonal mutational heterogeneity in high hyperdiploid acute lymphoblastic leukemia. [PDF]
High hyperdiploidy (HD), the most common cytogenetic subtype of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL), is largely curable but significant treatment-related morbidity warrants investigating the biology and identifying novel drug targets.

PML is induced by oncogenic ras and promotes premature senescence [PDF]
Oncogenic ras provokes a senescent-like arrest in human diploid fibroblasts involving the Rb and p53 tumor suppressor pathways. To further characterize this response, we compared gene expression patterns between ras-arrested and quiescent IMR90 ...

A synthetic-lethality RNAi screen reveals an ERK-mTOR co-targeting pro-apoptotic switch in PIK3CA+ oral cancers. [PDF]
mTOR inhibition has emerged as a promising strategy for head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) treatment. However, most targeted therapies ultimately develop resistance due to the activation of adaptive survival signaling mechanisms limiting the ...

Expression of ras-P21 and ras Gene Alteration in Pleomorphic Adenomas.
The expression of ras-P21 protein and gene alteration of the K-ras gene were examined in 12 cases of pleomorphic adenoma of the salivary gland. The tumor cells in all 12 cases were strongly stained for ras-P21 protein by the indirect immunoperoxidase method, suggesting the enhanced expression of ras-P21 protein in pleomorphic adenomas.

CONETXT: Ras gene mutations have been associated to a wide range of human solid tumors. Members of the ras gene family (Ki-ras, Ha-ras and N-ras) are structurally related and code for a protein (p21) known to play an important role in the regulation of ...

An integrative approach unveils FOSL1 as an oncogene vulnerability in KRAS-driven lung and pancreatic cancer [PDF]
KRAS mutated tumours represent a large fraction of human cancers, but the vast majority remains refractory to current clinical therapies. Thus, a deeper understanding of the molecular mechanisms triggered by KRAS oncogene may yield alternative ...

BLOQUEO DE LA SEÑAL DE RAS Y NUEVAS TERAPIAS ANTINEOPLÁSICAS
Los genes ras pertenecen a una superfamilia de genes que codifican pequeñas proteínas de unión a nucleótidos de guanina (GDP/GTP). Las proteínas p21 Ras se localizan en la superficie interna de la membrana celular donde actúan como interruptores ...

EGFR inhibitor as second-line therapy in a patient with mutant RAS metastatic colorectal cancer: circulating tumor DNA to personalize treatment [PDF]
A 47-year-old male patient presented in March 2016 to our unit with a palpable painless left supraclavicular mass. A whole-body contrastenhanced computed tomography (CT) scan revealed a left supraclavicular lymphadenopathy, transverse colon thickening ...
