miRNA Signature of Schwannomas: Possible Role(s) of “Tumor Suppressor” miRNAs in Benign Tumors [PDF]
miRNAs have been recently implicated as drivers in several carcinogenic processes, where they can act either as oncogenes or as tumor suppressors. Schwannomas arise from Schwann cells, the myelinating cells of the peripheral nervous system.

Abstract Objective Genetic testing is now included in the diagnostic assessment of childhood onset epilepsies. We evaluated the yield of a targeted next generation sequencing (TNGS) panel dedicated to pediatric epilepsies. Methods We tested by TNGS panel 1000 consecutive patients presenting with childhood onset epilepsies and including mainly patients ...

Modeling WWOX Loss of Function in vivo: What Have We Learned?
The WW domain–containing oxidoreductase (WWOX) gene encompasses a common fragile sites (CFS) known as FRA16D, and is implicated in cancer. WWOX encodes a 46kDa adaptor protein, which contains two N-terminal WW–domains and a catalytic domain at its C ...

53BP1 can limit sister-chromatid rupture and rearrangements driven by a distinct ultrafine DNA bridging-breakage process [PDF]
Chromosome missegregation acts as one of the driving forces for chromosome instability and cancer development. Here, we find that in human cancer cells, HeLa and U2OS, depletion of 53BP1 (p53-binding protein 1) exacerbates chromosome non-disjunction ...

Role of NTRK Fusion Genes in the Tumor Immune Microenvironment of HPV (+/−) Cervical Cancer
ABSTRACT Cervical cancer, a prevalent gynecological malignancy, is primarily associated with human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. However, some cases display distinct molecular alterations beyond HPV, significantly impacting the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) and posing therapeutic challenges.

Introduction to a Thematic Issue for WWOX [PDF]
Since its discovery in 2000, WW domain-containing oxidoreductase (WWOX, FOR or WOX1) has been considered as a tumor suppressor protein. Global research focus has been aimed mainly toward this direction. In this thematic issue, updated information has been collected regarding the structure, function and signaling of WWOX, along with its critical role ...

The role of AP-2 alpha in predicting response to chemotherapy in breast cancer patients [PDF]
Breast cancer is the most frequent cancer occurring in women in Europe1. In Switzerland, the incidence in 2009 was 32,9% and it was the primary cause of cancer related death in women, with a mortality rate of 19.2%2. The management of this cancer depends

FANCD2 facilitates replication through common fragile sites [PDF]
Common fragile sites (CFSs) are genomic regions that are unstable under conditions of replicative stress. Although the characteristics of CFSs that render them vulnerable to stress are mainly associated with replication, the cellular pathways that ...
