Regulatory cells and the effect of cancer immunotherapyMolecular Cancer - Tập 22 - Trang 1-15 - 2023
María Iglesias-Escudero, Noelia Arias-González, Eva Martínez-Cáceres
Several mechanisms and cell types are involved in the regulation of the immune
response. These include mostly regulatory T cells (Tregs), regulatory
macrophages (Mregs), myeloid suppressor cells (MDSCs) and other regulatory cell
types such as tolerogenic dendritic cells (tolDCs), regulatory B cells (Bregs),
and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). These regulatory cells, known for their
ability to suppr... hiện toàn bộ
RASSF1A promoter methylation and expression analysis in normal and neoplastic kidney indicates a role in early tumorigenesisMolecular Cancer - Tập 6 - Trang 1-9 - 2007

Epigenetic silencing of the RAS association domain family 1A (RASSF1A) tumor
suppressor gene promoter has been demonstrated in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) as
a result of promoter hypermethylation. Contradictory results have been reported
for RASSF1A methylation in normal kidney, thus it is not clear whether a
significant difference between RASSF1A methylation in normal and tumor cells of
the kidney... hiện toàn bộ
Identification of anti-tumour biologics using primary tumour models, 3-D phenotypic screening and image-based multi-parametric profilingMolecular Cancer - Tập 14 - Trang 1-18 - 2015

Monolayer cultures of immortalised cell lines are a popular screening tool for
novel anti-cancer therapeutics, but these methods can be a poor surrogate for
disease states, and there is a need for drug screening platforms which are more
predictive of clinical outcome. In this study, we describe a phenotypic antibody
screen using three-dimensional cultures of primary cells, and image-based
multi-pa... hiện toàn bộ
Effects of AKT inhibitor therapy in response and resistance to BRAF inhibition in melanomaMolecular Cancer - Tập 13 Số 1 - Trang 1-14 - 2014
Lassen, Amanda, Atefi, Mohammad, Robert, Lidia, Wong, Deborah JL, Cerniglia, Michael, Comin-Anduix, Begonya, Ribas, Antoni
The clinical use of BRAF inhibitors for treatment of metastatic melanoma is
limited by the development of drug resistance. In this study we investigated
whether co-targeting the MAPK and the PI3K-AKT pathway can prevent emergence of
resistance or provide additional growth inhibitory effects in vitro. Anti-tumor
effects of the combination of the BRAF inhibitor (BRAFi) dabrafenib and
GSK2141795B (AK... hiện toàn bộ
Cancer stem cell metabolism: a potential target for cancer therapyMolecular Cancer - Tập 15 - Trang 1-10 - 2016
Abhijeet Deshmukh, Kedar Deshpande, Frank Arfuso, Philip Newsholme, Arun Dharmarajan
Cancer Stem cells (CSCs) are a unipotent cell population present within the
tumour cell mass. CSCs are known to be highly chemo-resistant, and in recent
years, they have gained intense interest as key tumour initiating cells that may
also play an integral role in tumour recurrence following chemotherapy. Cancer
cells have the ability to alter their metabolism in order to fulfil
bio-energetic and b... hiện toàn bộ
Mapping and characterization of the amplicon near APOA2 in 1q23 in human sarcomas by FISH and array CGHMolecular Cancer - Tập 4 - Trang 1-12 - 2005

Amplification of the q21-q23 region on chromosome 1 is frequently found in
sarcomas and a variety of other solid tumours. Previous analyses of sarcomas
have indicated the presence of at least two separate amplicons within this
region, one located in 1q21 and one located near the apolipoprotein A-II (APOA2)
gene in 1q23. In this study we have mapped and characterized the amplicon in
1q23 in more de... hiện toàn bộ
A novel approach to identify driver genes involved in androgen-independent prostate cancerMolecular Cancer - Tập 13 - Trang 1-12 - 2014

Insertional mutagenesis screens have been used with great success to identify
oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes. Typically, these screens use
gammaretroviruses (γRV) or transposons as insertional mutagens. However,
insertional mutations from replication-competent γRVs or transposons that occur
later during oncogenesis can produce passenger mutations that do not drive
cancer progression. Here, w... hiện toàn bộ
Targeting E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme UbcH5c by small molecule inhibitor suppresses pancreatic cancer growth and metastasisMolecular Cancer - Tập 21 Số 1

Abstract Background Pancreatic cancer is one of the most lethal cancers
worldwide. The IAPs function as E3 ubiquitin ligases and contribute to
pancreatic cancer initiation, progression, and metastasis. Although IAP-targeted
therapies have been developed and shown anticancer efficacy in preclinical
settings, none of them has been approved yet. Methods Transcriptome data from
public datasets were us... hiện toàn bộ
