miRNAs link metabolic reprogramming to oncogenesis [PDF]
, 2013 The most profound biochemical phenotype of cancer cells is their ability to metabolize glucose to lactate, even under aerobic conditions. This alternative metabolic circuitry is sufficient to support the biosynthetic and energy requirements for cancer ...

EMP2 regulates angiogenesis in endometrial cancer cells through induction of VEGF. [PDF]
, 2013 Understanding tumor-induced angiogenesis is a challenging problem with important consequences for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. In this study, we define a novel function for epithelial membrane protein-2 (EMP2) in the control of angiogenesis ...

Epidermal growth factor receptor variant III mediates head and neck cancer cell invasion via STAT3 activation. [PDF]
, 2010 Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is frequently overexpressed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) where aberrant signaling downstream of this receptor contributes to tumor growth.

CircPCMTD1 Acts as the Sponge of miR-224-5p to Promote Glioma Progression
Frontiers in Oncology, 2019 Glioma is the most common malignant tumor of the central nervous system with high morbidity and mortality. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are abundant non-coding RNAs, which contribute to tumor progression by competing with other endogenous RNAs such as ...

Stem cell marker (Nanog) and Stat-3 signaling promote MicroRNA-21 expression and chemoresistance in hyaluronan/CD44-activated head and neck squamous cell carcinoma cells. [PDF]
, 2012 MicroRNAs are often associated with the pathogenesis of many cancers, including head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). In particular, microRNA-21 (miR-21) appears to have a critical role in tumor cell survival, chemoresistance and HNSCC ...

The cell cycle regulatory DREAM complex is disrupted by high expression of oncogenic B-Myb. [PDF]
, 2019 Overexpression of the oncogene MYBL2 (B-Myb) is associated with increased cell proliferation and serves as a marker of poor prognosis in cancer. However, the mechanism by which B-Myb alters the cell cycle is not fully understood.

The role of extrachromosomal DNA in tumorigenesis and progression
Frontiers in OncologyIn tumors, extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA) is an important driver of oncogene expression, genomic instability, the evolution of drug resistance, and poor patient prognosis. ecDNA is present in various tumors but is rarely found in normal cells.

EMBO Molecular Medicine, 2013 Wnt/β‐catenin signalling is widely implicated in embryogenesis, tissue homeostasis and tumorigenesis. The key event in Wnt signalling activation is β‐catenin accumulation, which is controlled by both its production and degradation.

Neutralizing the EGF receptor in glioblastoma cells stimulates cell migration by activating uPAR-initiated cell signaling. [PDF]
, 2015 In glioblastoma (GBM), the EGF receptor (EGFR) and Src family kinases (SFKs) contribute to an aggressive phenotype. EGFR may be targeted therapeutically; however, resistance to EGFR-targeting drugs such as Erlotinib and Gefitinib develops quickly.
