The deubiquitinating enzyme USP37 regulates the oncogenic fusion protein PLZF/RARA stability [PDF]
Oncogene, 2012 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]
Epigenetics, 2020 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.

PML/RARα Destabilization by Hyperthermia: A New Model for Oncogenic Fusion Protein Degradation?
Blood Cancer Discovery, 2021 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 ...

Hematopoietic (stem) cells—The elixir of life?
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The aging of HSCs (hematopoietic stem cells) and the blood system leads to the decline of other organs. Rejuvenating aged HSCs improves the function of the blood system, slowing the aging of the heart, kidney, brain, and liver, and the occurrence of age‐related diseases.

Thrombin Protease-activated Receptor-1 Signals through Gq- and G13-initiated MAPK Cascades Regulating c-Jun Expression to Induce Cell Transformation [PDF]
, 2003 Although the ability of G protein-coupled receptors to stimulate normal and aberrant cell growth has been intensely investigated, the precise nature of the molecular mechanisms underlying their transforming potential are still not fully understood.

Oncogenic fusion protein EWS-FLI1 is a network hub that regulates alternative splicing [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2015 Significance Alternative splicing of RNA allows a limited number of coding regions in the human genome to produce proteins with diverse functionality. Alternative splicing has also been implicated as an oncogenic process. Identifying aspects of cancer cells that differentiate them from noncancer cells remains an ongoing challenge, and

The newfound relationship between extrachromosomal DNAs and excised signal circles
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Extrachromosomal DNAs (ecDNAs) contribute to the progression of many human cancers. In addition, circular DNA by‐products of V(D)J recombination, excised signal circles (ESCs), have roles in cancer progression but have largely been overlooked. In this Review, we explore the roles of ecDNAs and ESCs in cancer development, and highlight why these ...

ETS Proteins Bind with Glucocorticoid Receptors: Relevance for Treatment of Ewing Sarcoma
Cell Reports, 2019 Summary: The glucocorticoid receptor (GR) acts as a ubiquitous cortisol-dependent transcription factor (TF). To identify co-factors, we used protein-fragment complementation assays and found that GR recognizes FLI1 and additional ETS family proteins, TFs
