Abstract Paracrine signaling through receptor activator of NF-κB (RANK) pathway mediates the expansion mammary epithelia that occurs during pregnancy, and activation RANK promotes tumorigenesis in mice. In this study we extend these previous data to human cells show development stem breast cancer. Overexpression (FL-RANK) a panel tumoral normal induces expression cancer basal/stem cell markers. High levels untransformed MCF10A induce changes associated with both stemness transformation,...

Abstract Whole-brain radiotherapy (WBRT) is the treatment backbone for many patients with brain metastasis; however, its efficacy in preventing disease progression and associated toxicity have questioned clinical impact of this approach emphasized need alternative treatments. Given limited therapeutic options available these poor understanding molecular mechanisms underlying resistance metastatic lesions to WBRT, we sought uncover actionable targets biomarkers that could help refine patient...

Squamous cell lung cancer (SCC) and adenocarcinoma are the most common histological subtypes of non-small (NSCLC), have been traditionally managed in clinic as a single entity. Increasing evidence, however, illustrates biological diversity these two subgroups cancer, supports need to improve our understanding molecular basis beyond different phenotypes if we aim develop more specific individualized targeted therapy. The purpose this study was identify microRNA (miRNA)-dependent...

IntroductionThere is substantial evidence for the oncogenic effects of fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1) in many types cancer, including lung but role this has not been addressed specifically adenocarcinoma.MethodsWe performed FGFR1 and EGFR overexpression co-overexpression assays adenocarcinoma inmortalized cell lines, we also carried out surrogate interaction assays. We monotherapy combination EGFR/FGFR inhibitor sensitivity vitro vivo line– patient-derived xenografts. determined...

Although two growth factor receptors, EGFR and HER2, are amongst the best targets for cancer treatment, no agents targeting HER3, their kinase-defective family member, have so far been approved. Because emergence of resistance lung tumors to kinase inhibitors (EGFRi) associates with compensatory up-regulation HER3 several secreted forms, we anticipated that blocking would prevent resistance. As demonstrated herein, a neutralizing anti-HER3 antibody generated can clear from cell surface, as...

With the idea to discover novel genes involved in proliferation, we have performed a genome-wide loss-of-function genetic screen identify additional putative tumor suppressor genes. We previously identified five belonging different biochemical families. In this report, focused on study of one these designated S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase (SAHH), which has also been an independent short hairpin RNA screening. SAHH inactivation confers resistance both p53 and p16(INK4)-induced...

Ectopic expression of conditional murine p53 (p53val135) and oncogenic ras is enough to induce a senescent-like growth arrest at the restrictive temperature. We took advantage this cellular system identify new key players in /p53-induced senescence. Applying retroviral-based genetic screen, we obtained an antisense RNA fragment against PPP1CA, catalytic subunit protein phosphatase 1α, whose loss function bypasses Expression specific short hairpin (sh)RNA PPP1CA impairs p53-dependent...

EGFR-mutated lung adenocarcinoma patients treated with gefitinib and osimertinib show a therapeutic benefit limited by the appearance of secondary mutations, such as EGFRT790M EGFRC797S. It is generally assumed that these mutations render EGFR completely unresponsive to inhibitors, but contrary this, we uncovered here increased STAT3 phosphorylation (p-STAT3) in EGFRC797S tumoral cells. Interestingly, also found concomitant Notch inhibition or treatment induced p-STAT3-dependent strong...

Pathogenic variants in KANSL1 and 17q21.31 microdeletions are causative of Koolen-de Vries syndrome (KdVS), a neurodevelopmental with characteristic facial dysmorphia. Our previous work has shown that syndromic conditions caused by pathogenic epigenetic regulatory genes have identifiable patterns DNA methylation (DNAm) change: DNAm signatures or episignatures. Given the role histone acetylation, we tested whether underlying KdVS associated signature. We profiled whole-blood for 13...

Abstract Drug-tolerance has emerged as one of the major non-genetic adaptive processes driving resistance to targeted therapy (TT) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, kinetics and sequence molecular events governing this response remain poorly understood. Here, we combine real-time monitoring cell-cycle dynamics single-cell RNA sequencing a broad panel oncogenic addiction such EGFR-, ALK-, BRAF- KRAS-mutant NSCLC, treated with their corresponding TT. We identify common path drug...

Lung cancer is the leading cause of death by in world and finding new targets a major medical need to tackle this disease. Here, upon proteomic analysis identify common players oncogenic EGFR- KRAS-driven lung adenocarcinoma mouse models, we uncovered largely unknown protein cancer, flavin-containing monooxygenase 4 (FMO4), whose expression was increased tumors compared with adjacent tissue. FMO4 strongly also samples from patients healthy lung, its level inversely correlated overall...

Tumor mutational burden (TMB) is a recently proposed predictive biomarker for immunotherapy in solid tumors, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Available assays TMB determination differ horizontal coverage, gene content and algorithms, leading to discrepancies results, impacting patient selection.
