Abstract Pancreatic carcinomas with acinar differentiation, including cell carcinoma, pancreatoblastoma and mixed are distinct pancreatic neoplasms poor prognosis. Although recent whole‐exome sequencing analyses have defined the somatic mutations that characterize other major of pancreas, molecular alterations underlying differentiation remain largely unknown. In current study, we sequenced exomes 23 surgically resected differentiation. These revealed a relatively large number genetic at...

Emerging evidence suggests that tumor cells metastasize by co-opting stem cell transcriptional networks, although the molecular underpinnings of this process are poorly understood. Here, we show for first time high mobility group A1 (HMGA1) gene drives metastatic progression in triple negative breast cancer (MDA-MB-231, Hs578T) reprogramming to a stem-like state. Silencing HMGA1 expression invasive, aggressive dramatically halts growth and results striking morphologic changes from...

Abstract Background Although the high mobility group A1 ( HMGA1 ) gene is widely overexpressed in diverse cancers and portends a poor prognosis some tumors, molecular mechanisms that mediate its role transformation have remained elusive. functions as potent oncogene cultured cells induces aggressive lymphoid tumors transgenic mice. Because chromatin remodeling proteins regulate transcription, thought to drive malignant by modulating expression of specific genes. Genome-wide studies define...

In preclinical studies, the PARP inhibitor veliparib enhanced antileukemic action of temozolomide through potentiation DNA damage. Accordingly, we conducted a phase 1 study with escalating doses in patients relapsed, refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or AML arising from aggressive malignancies.

Abstract Background We had previously demonstrated overexpression of fibroblast growth factor receptor-4 (FGFR4) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, additional molecular mechanisms resulting amplified FGFR4 signaling HCC remain under-studied. Here, we studied the mechanistic role its co-receptor klotho-beta (KLB) driving elevated activity progression. Results Quantitative real-time PCR analysis identified frequent elevation KLB gene expression tumors relative to matched non-tumor...

Many cancers comprise heterogeneous populations of cells at primary and metastatic sites throughout the body. The presence or emergence distinct subclones with drug-resistant genetic epigenetic phenotypes within these can greatly complicate therapeutic intervention. Liquid biopsies peripheral blood from cancer patients have been suggested as an ideal means sampling intratumor heterogeneity for diagnostics, monitoring guidance. However, current molecular diagnostic sequencing methods are not...

Abstract Objective To assess the real‐world effectiveness of ubrogepant by evaluating self‐reported satisfaction with pain relief, ability to think clearly, and return normal function in individuals who had used treat a migraine episode within preceding 14 days. Background Ubrogepant is an oral calcitonin gene–related peptide receptor antagonist approved for acute treatment adults. Few studies have evaluated ubrogepant. Methods The UNIVERSE study was observational, cross‐sectional survey...

Defective homologous recombination (HR) has been reported in multiple myeloid disorders, suggesting a shared dysregulated pathway these diverse malignancies. Because targeting HR-defective cancers with PARP inhibition (PARPi) yielded clinical benefit, improved understanding of HR defects is needed to implement this treatment modality.We used an ex vivo irradiation-based assay evaluate repair, gene promoter methylation, and mRNA expression primary neoplastic cells. In vitro BRCA1 silencing...

Abstract Despite advances in our ability to detect and treat breast cancer, it remains a leading cause of death women with cancer worldwide, the incidence is rising. Approximately 15-20% all cases are classified as triple negative (TNBC), subtype that frequently associated rapid progression poor outcome.
