BIRC5 drives cell-cycle dysregulation and represents a novel molecular target in retinoblastoma [PDF]
Aims and objectivesRetinoblastoma is the most common pediatric intraocular malignancy, although it remains a rare disease overall, yet the molecular targets and therapeutic vulnerabilities sustaining its most aggressive proliferative cell states remain ...

RPL41 inhibits the proliferation and migration of retinoblastoma through the ARL5B-associated lysosomal trafficking [PDF]
PurposeRetinoblastoma is the most common intraocular cancer in infants and children, with a significant potential for metastasis. The mini-peptide ribosomal protein L41 (RPL41) has demonstrated extensive antitumor effects in vitro by promoting the ...

Transcriptome profiling of uterine leiomyosarcomas identifies a leiomyoma-like expression pattern that indicates better survival [PDF]
Background Uterine leiomyosarcomas are rare and aggressive cancers with poor survival. Their non-cancerous counterparts, uterine leiomyomas, are common tumors affecting many women during reproductive years.

Epigenetic Factors in Pathogenesis of Retinoblastoma: DNA Methylation and Histone Acetylation [PDF]
(Background) Retinoblastoma is the most common intraocular malignancy in childhood, primarily caused by mutations in the RB1 gene. However, increasing evidence highlights the significant role of epigenetic mechanisms, particularly DNA methylation and ...

Analysis of retinoblastoma-associated genes using bioinformatic methods
BACKGROUND: Retinoblastoma is a common neoplasia that affects the visual organ in young children. The mortality rate is approximately 15%. In 91% of cases, surgery with enucleation is required, which significantly reduces the patients quality of life ...

Retinoblastoma family genes [PDF]
The retinoblastoma gene Rb was the first tumor suppressor gene cloned, and it is well known as a negative regulator of the cell cycle through its ability to bind the transcription factor E2F and repress transcription of genes required for S phase. Although over 100 other proteins have been reported to interact with Rb, in most cases these interactions ...

Loss of retinoblastoma gene and amplification of N-myc gene in retinoblastoma [PDF]
We have analyzed paired samples of genomic DNA from peripheral leukocyte and primary tumor tissue from nine patients with retinoblastoma (RB) and from two RB cell lines, WERI-Rb-1 and Y79, to detect the molecular alterations of the retinoblastoma susceptibility gene (RB-1) and N-myc gene.

Multi-Functionalized Nanomaterials and Nanoparticles for Diagnosis and Treatment of Retinoblastoma
Retinoblastoma is a rare type of cancer, and its treatment, as well as diagnosis, is challenging, owing to mutations in the tumor-suppressor genes and lack of targeted, efficient, cost-effective therapy, exhibiting a significant need for novel approaches

A Meta-Analysis of Retinoblastoma Copy Numbers Refines the List of Possible Driver Genes Involved in Tumor Progression. [PDF]
BACKGROUND:While RB1 loss initiates retinoblastoma development, additional somatic copy number alterations (SCNAs) can drive tumor progression. Although SCNAs have been identified with good concordance between studies at a cytoband resolution, accurate ...
