A novel non-canonical Wnt signature for prostate cancer aggressiveness
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Activation of the Canonical Wnt pathway (CWP) has been linked to advanced and metastatic prostate cancer, whereas the Wnt5a-induced non-canonical Wnt pathway (NCWP) has been associated with both good and poor prognosis. A ... -
APIM-peptide targeting PCNA improves the efficacy of docetaxel treatment in the TRAMP mouse model of prostate cancer
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Docetaxel is the chemotherapeutic choice for metastatic hormone-refractory prostate cancer, however, it only marginally improves the survival rate. The purpose of the present study was to examine if a peptide ... -
Associations between the MDM2 promoter P1 polymorphism del1518 (rs3730485) and incidence of cancer of the breast, lung, colon and prostate
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)The MDM2 promoter region contains several polymorphisms, some of which have been associated with MDM2 expression, cancer risk and age at cancer onset. del1518 (rs3730485) is an indel polymorphism residing in the MDM2 ... -
Differentiation status of primary chronic myeloid leukemia cells affects sensitivity to BCR-ABL1 inhibitors
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) are the mainstay treatment of BCR-ABL1-positive leukemia and virtually all patients with chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase (CP CML) respond to TKI therapy. However, there is limited ... -
Direct inhibition of c-Myc-Max heterodimers by celastrol and celastrol-inspired triterpenoids
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Many oncogenic signals originate from abnormal protein-protein interactions that are potential targets for small molecule inhibitors. However, the therapeutic disruption of these interactions has proved elusive. We report ... -
High visceral fat percentage is associated with poor outcome in endometrial cancer
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Despite evidence of increased endometrial cancer (EC) risk in obese women, the impact of obesity on clinical and histological phenotype is poorly understood. This study explored abdominal fat volumes and fat distribution ... -
Identification of metastasis-associated microRNAs in serum from rectal cancer patients
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are promising prognostic and diagnostic biomarkers due to their high stability in blood. Here we investigate the expression of miRNAs and other noncoding (nc) RNAs in serum of rectal cancer patients. ... -
Inhibition of O-GlcNAc transferase activity reprograms prostate cancer cell metabolism
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Metabolic networks are highly connected and complex, but a single enzyme, O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) can sense the availability of metabolites and also modify target proteins. We show that inhibition of OGT activity inhibits ... -
MYC amplifications in myeloma cell lines; correlation with MYC-inhibitor efficacy
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)In multiple myeloma, elevated MYC expression is related to disease initiation and progression. We found that in myeloma cell lines, MYC gene amplifications were common and correlated with MYC mRNA and protein. In primary ... -
Phosphatase of regenerating liver-3 is expressed in acute lymphoblastic leukemia and mediates leukemic cell adhesion, migration and drug resistance
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Phosphatase of regenerating liver-3 (PRL-3/PTP4A3) is upregulated in multiple cancers, including BCR-ABL1- and ETV6-RUNX-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). With this study, we aim to characterize the biological ... -
Presence of TMPRSS2-ERG is associated with alterations of the metabolic profile in human prostate cancer
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)TMPRSS2-ERG has been proposed to be a prognostic marker for prostate cancer. The aim of this study was to identify changes in metabolism, genes and biochemical recurrence related to TMPRSS2-ERG by using an integrated ... -
Proteome alterations associated with transformation of multiple myeloma to secondary plasma cell leukemia
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)Plasma cell leukemia is a rare and aggressive plasma cell neoplasm that may either originate de novo (primary PCL) or by leukemic transformation of multiple myeloma (MM) to secondary PCL (sPCL). The prognosis of sPCL is ... -
Targeting the non-canonical roles of PCNA modifies and increases the response to targeted anti-cancer therapy
(Journal article, 2019)Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs), such as HER2 and/or EGFR are important therapeutic targets in multiple cancer cells. Low and/or short response to targeted therapies are often due to activation of compensatory signaling ... -
"Two hits - one stone" increased efficacy of cisplatin-based therapies by targeting PCNA's role in both DNA repair and cellular signaling
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Low response rate and rapid development of resistance against commonly used chemotherapeutic regimes demand new multi-targeting anti-cancer strategies. In this study, we target the stress-related roles of the scaffold ...
