Mechanisms of enhancer‐driven oncogene activation

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
Abstract An aggressive subtype of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is caused by enhancer hijacking resulting in MECOM overexpression. Several chromosomal rearrangements can lead to this: the most common (inv(3)/t(3;3)) results in a hijacked GATA2 enhancer, and there are several atypical MECOM rearrangements involving enhancers from other hematopoietic ...

Deregulated enhancer‐promoter communication in cancer through altered nuclear architecture

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
Abstract Enhancers are critical regulators of gene expression. Structural variations in cancer genomes can lead to enhancer hijacking, where oncogenes are activated by mistargeted enhancer activity. Novel enhancer‐promoter interactions may also arise through chromosomal rearrangements that create extrachromosomal DNA elements.

Human sporadic breast carcinoma histotypes driven by the Human Betaretrovirus homologous to Mouse Mammary Tumor Virus

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
What's New? While estrogens, obesity, and alcohol are recognized risk factors for breast cancer, a viral hypothesis has been suggested based on the murine model of Mouse Mammary Tumor Virus (MMTV)‐induced mammary tumors. This study analyzed sequences of the human homolog of MMTV across human breast carcinoma histotypes, detecting the virus in all types

Limited association between HRR gene alterations and HRD in molecular tumor board cancer samples: Who should be tested for HRD?

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
What's New? Currently, no published data on homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) testing in the setting of molecular tumor boards exist. This study in a cohort of 237 patients encompassing 24 different tumor entities assessed by a molecular tumor board shows that inactivating alterations of BRCA1/2 are not always associated with an elevated ...

Serum metabolic and microbial profiling yields insights into promoting effect of tryptophan‐related metabolites for health longevity in centenarians

open access: yesiMeta, EarlyView.
Schematic representation of the design. Tryptophan metabolism is enriched in serum metabolites and gut microbiota of centenarians, potentially contributing to healthy longevity. A key tryptophan metabolite 5‐methoxyindoleacetic acid (5‐MIAA) is linked to the Christensenellaceae R‐7 group and exhibits effects of delaying cell senescence, promoting ...
