The neural crest‐associated gene ERRFI1 is involved in melanoma progression and resistance toward targeted therapy

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
ERRFI1, a neural crest (NC)‐associated gene, was upregulated in melanoma and negatively correlated with the expression of melanocytic differentiation markers and the susceptibility of melanoma cells toward BRAF inhibitors (BRAFi). Knocking down ERRFI1 significantly increased the sensitivity of melanoma cells to BRAFi.

Intein‐based modular chimeric antigen receptor platform for specific CD19/CD20 co‐targeting

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
CARtein is a modular CAR platform that uses split inteins to splice antigen‐recognition modules onto a universal signaling backbone, enabling precise, scarless assembly without re‐engineering signaling domains. Deployed here against CD19 and CD20 in B‐cell malignancies, the design supports flexible multi‐antigen targeting to boost T‐cell activation and

Enhancing the potency of in vivo lentiviral vector mediated gene therapy to hepatocytes

Nature Communications
In vivo gene therapy to the liver using lentiviral vectors (LV) may represent a one-and-done therapeutic approach for monogenic diseases. Increasing LV gene therapy potency is crucial for reducing the effective doses, thus alleviating dose-dependent ...

Lentiviral vectors for precise expression to treat X-linked lymphoproliferative disease

Molecular Therapy: Methods & Clinical Development
X-linked lymphoproliferative disease (XLP1) results from SH2D1A gene mutations affecting the SLAM-associated protein (SAP). A regulated lentiviral vector (LV), XLP-SMART LV, designed to express SAP at therapeutic levels in T, NK, and NKT cells, is ...

Potential Anti-Inflammatory and Anti-Cancer Properties of Farnesol

Molecules, 2018
Farnesol, an acyclic sesquiterpene alcohol, is predominantly found in essential oils of various plants in nature. It has been reported to exhibit anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory effects, and also alleviate allergic asthma, gliosis, and edema.

Improving PARP inhibitor efficacy in bladder cancer without genetic BRCAness by combination with PLX51107

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Clinical trials on PARP inhibitors in urothelial carcinoma (UC) showed limited efficacy and a lack of predictive biomarkers. We propose SLFN5, SLFN11, and OAS1 as UC‐specific response predictors. We suggest Talazoparib as the better PARP inhibitor for UC than Olaparib.

Dual targeting of RET and SRC synergizes in RET fusion‐positive cancer cells

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Despite the strong activity of selective RET tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), resistance of RET fusion‐positive (RET+) lung cancer and thyroid cancer frequently occurs and is mainly driven by RET‐independent bypass mechanisms. Son et al. show that SRC TKIs significantly inhibit PAK and AKT survival signaling and enhance the efficacy of RET TKIs in ...

Efficient Gene Targeting Mediated by Adeno-Associated Virus and DNA Double-Strand Breaks [PDF]

, 2003
Gene targeting is the in situ manipulation of the sequence of an endogenous gene by the introduction of homologous exogenous DNA. Presently, the rate of gene targeting is too low for it to be broadly used in mammalian somatic cell genetics or to cure ...

Extinction of gene expression in somatic cell hybrids. a reflection of important regulatory mechanisms? [PDF]

, 1993
Extinction in somatic cell hybrids is a multifactorial process that leads to loss of cell-type-specific gene expression. The underlying mechanisms are thought to mirror, at least in part, the repertoire of regulatory mechanisms controlling mammalian cell
