Abstract Activation of the EGFR, KRAS, and ALK oncogenes defines 3 different pathways molecular pathogenesis in lung adenocarcinoma. However, many tumors lack activation any pathway (triple-negative adenocarcinomas) posing a challenge for prognosis treatment. Here, we report an extensive genome-wide expression profiling 226 primary human stage I–II adenocarcinomas that elucidates characteristics harbor mutations or mutations, is, triple-negative adenocarcinomas. One hundred seventy-four...
Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) has a poor outcome due to the lack of beneficial therapeutic targets. To clarify molecular mechanisms involved in carcinogenesis TNBC and identify target molecules for novel anticancer drugs, we analyzed gene expression profiles 30 TNBCs as well 13 normal epithelial ductal cells that were purified by laser-microbeam microdissection. We identified 301 321 transcripts significantly upregulated downregulated TNBC, respectively. In particular, profile...
Removal of senescent cells (senolysis) has been proposed to be beneficial for improving age-associated pathologies, but the molecular pathways such senolytic activity have not yet emerged. Here, we identified glutaminase 1 (GLS1) as an essential gene survival human cells. The intracellular pH in was lowered by lysosomal membrane damage, and this induced kidney-type (KGA) expression. resulting enhanced glutaminolysis ammonia production, which neutralized lower improved Inhibition...
Abstract Purpose: KRAS is among the most commonly mutated oncogene in cancer including non–small cell lung (NSCLC). In early clinical trials, inhibitors targeting G12C-mutant have achieved responses some patients with NSCLC. Possible intrinsic and acquired resistance mechanisms to G12C are not fully elucidated will likely become important identify. Experimental Design: To identify potential mechanisms, we defined sensitivity of a panel G12C–mutant lines inhibitor, AMG510. Gene set enrichment...
Abstract Background To understand the molecular mechanisms underlying important biological processes, a detailed description of gene products networks involved is required. In order to define and such networks, some statistical methods are proposed in literature estimate regulatory from time-series microarray data. However, several problems still need be overcome. Firstly, information flow inferred, addition correlation between genes. Secondly, we usually try identify large number genes...
Purpose To identify stage I lung adenocarcinoma patients with a poor prognosis who will benefit from adjuvant therapy. Patients and Methods Whole gene expression profiles were obtained at 19 time points over 48-hour course human primary epithelial cells that stimulated epidermal growth factor (EGF) in the presence or absence of clinically used EGF receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK)-specific inhibitor, gefitinib. The data subjected to mathematical simulation using State Space Model (SSM)....
A primary tumor can create a premetastatic niche in distant organs to facilitate the development of metastasis. The mechanism by which cells communicate with host develop niches is unclear. We focused on role microRNA (miR) signaling promoting Here, we identified miR-203 as molecule between tumors and monocytes metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. Notably, high expression serum exosomal miR-203, major form circulation, was associated metastasis an independent poor prognostic factor,...
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is one of curative treatment options for patients with hematologic malignancies. Although GVHD mediated by the donor’s T lymphocytes remains most challenging toxicity allo-HSCT, graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) effect targeting leukemic cells, has an important role in affecting overall outcome AML. Here we comprehensively characterized TCR repertoire who underwent matched donor or haplo-cord HSCT using next-generation sequencing approach....
Immune checkpoint inhibitors and adoptive transfer of gene-engineered T cells have emerged as novel therapeutic modalities for hard-to-treat solid tumors; however, many patients are refractory to these immunotherapies, the mechanisms underlying tumor immune resistance not been fully elucidated. By comparing microenvironment inhibition–sensitive –resistant murine tumors, we observed that resistant tumors had low immunogenicity. We identified antigen presentation by CD11b+F4/80+...
Abstract Background There are several types of pancreatic mass, so it is important to distinguish between them before treatment. Artificial intelligence (AI) a mathematical technique that automates learning and recognition data patterns.
