Asparagine bioavailability regulates the translation of MYC oncogene
Amino acid restriction has recently emerged as a compelling strategy to inhibit tumor growth. Recent work suggests that amino acids can regulate cellular signaling in addition to their role as biosynthetic substrates.

Blocakde of Smad4 in transformed keratinocytes containing a Ras oncogene leads to hyperactivation of the Ras-dependent Erk signalling pathway associated with progression to undifferentiated carcinomas [PDF]
Smad4 functions as a transcription factor TGF-β signalling. We have investigated the role of Smad4 in the TGF-β1 cell responses of transformed PDV keratinocytes, wich contain a Ras oncogene, and of nontumorigenic MCA3D keratinocytes, by transfecting both

Mechanisms for estrogen receptor expression in human cancer
Estrogen is a steroid hormone that has critical roles in reproductive development, bone homeostasis, cardiovascular remodeling and brain functions. However, estrogen also promotes mammary, ovarian and endometrial tumorigenesis.

Coffee drinking and cancer risk: an umbrella review of meta-analyses of observational studies
Background Epidemiological studies on the association between coffee intake and cancer risk have yielded inconsistent results. To summarize and appraise the quality of the current evidence, we conducted an umbrella review of existing findings from meta ...

Targeting extracellular matrix stiffness and mechanotransducers to improve cancer therapy
Cancer microenvironment is critical for tumorigenesis and cancer progression. The extracellular matrix (ECM) interacts with tumor and stromal cells to promote cancer cells proliferation, migration, invasion, angiogenesis and immune evasion.

RAS signalling through PI3-Kinase controls cell migration via modulation of Reelin expression
Ras signalling through PI3K kinase has an important role in tumour initiation and progression. Here, the authors show that the interaction of Ras with PI3-Kinase p110α and the subsequent activation of Rac-GTPase impairs cell -cell interaction by blocking

Oncogene inactivation-induced senescence facilitates tumor relapse. [PDF]
Oncogene-directed therapies can induce profound tumor regression in oncogene-addicted cancers, but their long-term benefit is often limited by resistance and relapse.

DNA topoisomerases participate in fragility of the oncogene RET [PDF]
Fragile site breakage was previously shown to result in rearrangement of the RET oncogene, resembling the rearrangements found in thyroid cancer. Common fragile sites are specific regions of the genome with a high susceptibility to DNA breakage under ...
