Androgen receptor-dependent and -independent mechanisms driving prostate cancer progression: Opportunities for therapeutic targeting from multiple angles. [PDF]
Despite aggressive treatment for localized cancer, prostate cancer (PC) remains a leading cause of cancer-related death for American men due to a subset of patients progressing to lethal and incurable metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC).

miR186 suppresses prostate cancer progression by targeting Twist1
Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in north American men, and most its related deaths are due to advanced and metastatic PCa. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying PCa progression are still unclear. Here we use a pair of prostate cell lines P69/M12, which have the same genetic background and the highly ...

Destabilization of the TWIST1/E12 complex dimerization following the R154P point-mutation of TWIST1: an in silico approach [PDF]
The bHLH transcription factor TWIST1 plays a key role in the embryonic development and in tumorigenesis. Some loss-of-function mutations of the TWIST1 gene have been shown to cause an autosomal dominant craniosynostosis, known as the Saethre-Chotzen syndrome (SCS).

The FZD7‐TWIST1 axis is responsible for anoikis resistance and tumorigenesis in ovarian carcinoma
Frizzled family receptor 7 (FZD7), a Wnt signaling receptor, is associated with the maintenance of stem cell properties and cancer progression. FZD7 has emerged as a potential therapeutic target because it is capable of transducing both canonical and ...

TWIST1 a new determinant of epithelial to mesenchymal transition in EGFR mutated lung adenocarcinoma. [PDF]
Metastasis is a multistep process and the main cause of mortality in lung cancer patients. We previously showed that EGFR mutations were associated with a copy number gain at a locus encompassing the TWIST1 gene on chromosome 7.

Twist1 in Human White Adipose Tissue and Obesity [PDF]
Twist1 is a transcription factor implicated in the regulation of TNFα signaling and was recently shown to be highly expressed in both human and murine adipose tissue, but its role in obesity is unknown.Our objective was to assess the expression of twist1 in human white adipose tissue (WAT), its relationship to obesity and insulin sensitivity, and how ...
