Significance The evolutionarily conserved RNA-binding protein Musashi-2 (MSI2) regulates mRNA translation and influences multiple biological processes, including maintenance of stem cell identity. This work for the first time, to our knowledge, identifies that more aggressive patient tumors have higher MSI2 levels. We define a critical role in supporting non-small lung cancer (NSCLC) invasiveness further claudins 3, 5, 7 (CLDN3, CLDN5, CLDN7), TGF-β receptor 1 (TGFβR1), small mothers against...
Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is the sixth most common cancer worldwide frequently impervious to curative treatment efforts. Similar other cancers associated with prolonged exposure carcinogens, HNSCCs often have a high burden of mutations, contributing substantial inter- intra-tumor heterogeneity. The heterogeneity this malignancy further increased by rising rate human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated (HPV+) HNSCC, which defines an etiological subtype significantly different...
Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) and its type II receptor AMHR2, both previously thought to primarily function in gonadal tissue, were unexpectedly identified as potent regulators of transforming growth factor (TGF-β)/bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) lung cancer. AMH is a TGF-β/BMP superfamily member, AMHR2 heterodimerizes with I receptors (ALK2, ALK3) also used by the for BMP (BMPR2). regulates expression BMPR2, ALK2, ALK3, supports kinase...
Clinical decision making for human papillomavirus (HPV)-negative head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is predominantly guided by disease stage anatomic location, with few validated biomarkers. The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) an important therapeutic target, but its value in guiding remains ambiguous. We integrated analysis of clinically annotated tissue microarrays data available through the TCGA, to investigate idea that expression signatures involving EGFR, proteins...
No treatment strategies effectively limit the progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD), a common and debilitating neurodegenerative disorder.The absence viable options reflects fact that pathophysiology genotypic causes are not well understood.The advent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) has made it possible to broadly investigate alterations driving phenotypic occurrences.Recent have associated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in two paralogous scaffolding proteins, NEDD9 CASS4,...
Circulating tumor cells (CTC) and plasma cell-free RNA (cfRNA) can serve as biomarkers for prognosis treatment response in lung cancer. One barrier to the selected or routine use of CTCs cfRNA precision oncology is limited quantity both, are only seen metastatic disease. As capture presents an opportunity monitor assess malignancies without invasive procedures, we compared two methods CTC identification, profiled mRNA from identify potential tumor-associated biomarkers. Peripheral blood was...

Copy number variations (CNVs) are a major source of genomic variability and especially significant in cancer. Until recently microarray technologies have been used to characterize CNVs genomes. However, advances next-generation sequencing technology offer opportunities deduce copy directly from genome data. Unfortunately cancer genomes differ normal several aspects that make them far less amenable detection. For example, often aneuploid an admixture diploid/non-tumor cell fractions. Also...
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have emerged as paradigm shifting treatment options for a number of cancers. Six antibodies targeting the immune proteins programmed cell death 1 (PD-1), ligand (PD-L1) or cytotoxic T-lymphocyte associated protein 4 (CTLA4) been approved. In some cases, response rates impressive, but not uniformly so and consistently; similarly, toxicity to this class therapeutic is often unpredictable can be life threatening. Predicting are two main obstacles truly...

Hemolytic transfusion reactions and transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) are life-threatening complications associated with the of blood products. Hemorrhage is one most common surgical risk bleeding particularly in patients hematologic deficiencies. Management can be divided into two phases. The first phase centers on immediate control second focuses keeping patient stable reducing sequelae transfusions loss. We present case a 53-year-old woman long-standing immune thrombocytopenia...
11027 Background: Some recent publications indicated that the use of G-CSF could be connected to an increase in CTC as well elevated levels tumor markers such CA 27.29. In SUCCESS Trial and CA27.29 are examined before after adjuvant chemotherapy (CHT) 3754 breast cancer patients (pts). Methods: The is a phase III trial comparing FEC-Docetaxel vs. FEC-Doc-Gemcitabine regime 2 5 years treatment with zoledronate primary (BC) (N+ or high risk). Blood samples taken CHT. were assessed...
