WNT signalling in prostate cancer [PDF]
Genome sequencing and gene expression analyses of prostate tumours have highlighted the potential importance of genetic and epigenetic changes observed in WNT signalling pathway components in prostate tumours-particularly in the development of castration-

Menin-MLL inhibitors reverse oncogenic activity of MLL fusion proteins in leukemia [PDF]
Translocations involving the mixed lineage leukemia (MLL) gene result in human acute leukemias with very poor prognosis. The leukemogenic activity of MLL fusion proteins is critically dependent on their direct interaction with menin, a product of the multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN1) gene.

Abstract TAZ::CAMTA1 is a fusion protein found in over 90% of Epithelioid Hemangioendothelioma (EHE), a rare vascular sarcoma with an unpredictable disease course. To date, how TAZ::CAMTA1 initiates tumour formation remains unexplained.

Exosome-mediated transfer of miR-222 is sufficient to increase tumor malignancy in melanoma [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Growing evidence is showing that metastatic cell populations are able to transfer their characteristics to less malignant cells. Exosomes (EXOs) are membrane vesicles of endocytic origin able to convey their cargo of mRNAs, microRNAs (miRs),

The deubiquitinating enzyme USP37 regulates the oncogenic fusion protein PLZF/RARA stability [PDF]
Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is predominantly characterized by chromosomal translocations between the retinoic acid receptor, alpha (RARA) gene and the promyelocytic leukemia (PML) or promyelocytic leukemia zinc finger (PLZF) gene. In APL cells with PML/RARA fusions, arsenic trioxide and all-trans retinoic acid treatments specifically target the ...

Chromatin profiling reveals relocalization of lysine-specific demethylase 1 by an oncogenic fusion protein [PDF]
ABSTRACTPediatric cancers commonly harbor quiet mutational landscapes and are instead characterized by single driver events such as the mutation of critical chromatin regulators, expression of oncohistones, or expression of oncogenic fusion proteins. These events ultimately promote malignancy through disruption of normal gene regulation and development.

Radiation-induced Assembly of Rad51 and Rad52 Recombination Complex Requires ATM and c-Abl [PDF]
Cells from individuals with the recessive cancer-prone disorder ataxia telangiectasia (A-T) are hypersensitive to ionizing radiation (I-R). ATM (mutated in A-T) is a protein kinase whose activity is stimulated by I-R. c-Abl, a nonreceptor tyrosine kinase,

PML/RARα Destabilization by Hyperthermia: A New Model for Oncogenic Fusion Protein Degradation?
Abstract Summary: In this issue, Maimaitiyiming and colleagues demonstrate thermic stress–induced PML/RARα oncogenic fusion protein destabilization driven by corepressor aggregation. Hyperthermia synergizes with PML/RARα degradation by arsenic trioxide (ATO) and may circumvent ATO-resistance in historic acute promyelocytic leukemia ...

Localization of tyrosine kinase-coding region in v-abl oncogene by the expression of v-abl-encoded proteins in bacteria [PDF]
A series of plasmids containing different segments of the v-abl oncogene have been constructed to express different portions of the v- abl protein in bacteria.
