Cancer research meets evolutionary biology.

Evolutionary applications

Pepper JW, Scott Findlay C, Kassen R, Spencer SL, Maley CC.
PMID: 25567847
Evol Appl. 2009 Feb;2(1):62-70. doi: 10.1111/j.1752-4571.2008.00063.x.

There is increasing evidence that Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection provides insights into the etiology and treatment of cancer. On a microscopic scale, neoplastic cells meet the conditions for evolution by Darwinian selection: cell reproduction with heritable...

Signaling pathways intersecting with the p21-activated kinases (PAKs) play important roles in tumorigenesis and cancer progression. By recognizing that the limitations of FRAX1036 (1) were chiefly associated with the highly basic amine it contained, we devised a mitigation strategy...

Structure and function of the telomeric CST complex.

Computational and structural biotechnology journal

Rice C, Skordalakes E.
PMID: 27239262
Comput Struct Biotechnol J. 2016 Apr 14;14:161-7. doi: 10.1016/j.csbj.2016.04.002. eCollection 2016.

Telomeres comprise the ends of eukaryotic chromosomes and are essential for cell proliferation and genome maintenance. Telomeres are replicated by telomerase, a ribonucleoprotein (RNP) reverse transcriptase, and are maintained primarily by nucleoprotein complexes such as shelterin (TRF1, TRF2, TIN2,...

A link between TP53 polymorphisms and metabolism.

Molecular & cellular oncology

Kung CP, Basu S, Murphy ME.
PMID: 27652322
Mol Cell Oncol. 2016 Apr 15;3(4):e1173769. doi: 10.1080/23723556.2016.1173769. eCollection 2016 Jul.

Besides being a critical tumor suppressor, the TP53 gene also plays a role in metabolism and recent studies in humans have implicated the codon 72 polymorphism of TP53 in this role. Using a humanized knock-in mouse model for these...

Mitochondrial biogenesis meets chemoresistance in BRAF-mutant melanoma.

Molecular & cellular oncology

Wu LW, Zhang G, Herlyn M.
PMID: 27652325
Mol Cell Oncol. 2016 May 02;3(4):e1179381. doi: 10.1080/23723556.2016.1179381. eCollection 2016 Jul.

The acquisition of resistance to current mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) inhibitors in B-Raf proto-oncogene, serine/threonine kinase (BRAF) mutant melanoma is almost inevitable. Our recent findings identify therapy-induced mitochondrial biogenesis (MitoBiogenesis) and aberrant tumor bioenergetics as therapeutic escape mechanisms...

Crosstalk in skin: melanocytes, keratinocytes, stem cells, and melanoma.

Journal of cell communication and signaling

Wang JX, Fukunaga-Kalabis M, Herlyn M.
PMID: 27553358
J Cell Commun Signal. 2016 Sep;10(3):191-196. doi: 10.1007/s12079-016-0349-3. Epub 2016 Aug 23.

In the vertebrate embryo, melanocytes arise from the neural crest, migrate to and colonize the basal layer within the skin and skin appendages. Post-migratory melanocytes are securely attached to the basement membrane, and their morphology, growth, adhesion, and migration...

Epigenetic synthetic lethality in ovarian clear cell carcinoma: EZH2 and ARID1A mutations.

Molecular & cellular oncology

Bitler BG, Aird KM, Zhang R.
PMID: 27308548
Mol Cell Oncol. 2015 Apr 14;3(1):e1032476. doi: 10.1080/23723556.2015.1032476. eCollection 2016 Jan.

The components of the Switch/Sucrose non-fermentable (SWI/SNF) complex are mutated in approximately 20% of human cancers. The A/T-rich interacting domain 1A (ARID1A) subunit has one of the highest mutation rates. Most notably, ARID1A is mutated in over 50% of...

Pathological mobilization and activities of dendritic cells in tumor-bearing hosts: challenges and opportunities for immunotherapy of cancer.

Frontiers in immunology

Front Immunol. 2013 Dec 10;4:435. doi: 10.3389/fimmu.2013.00435.

A common characteristic of solid tumors is the pathological recruitment of immunosuppressive myeloid cells, which in certain tumors includes dendritic cells (DCs). DCs are of particular interest in the field of cancer immunotherapy because they induce potent and highly...

Establishing Human Skin Grafts in Mice as Model for Melanoma Progression.

Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.)
