Abstract Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) presents as a highly chemosensitive malignancy but acquires cross-resistance after relapse. This transformation is nearly inevitable in patients has been difficult to capture laboratory models. Here, we present preclinical system that recapitulates acquired cross-resistance, developed from 51 patient-derived xenograft (PDX) Each model was tested vivo against three clinical regimens: cisplatin plus etoposide, olaparib temozolomide, and topotecan. These...

Abstract Extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA) is a prevalent driver of cancer, whose random segregation promotes aggressive tumors. Acentric ecDNAs attach to chromosomes during mitosis for segregation. However, the molecular mechanism governing ecDNA-chromosome mitotic interactions remains poorly understood. This study shows that histone 3 lysine 27 acetylation (H3K27ac)-marked chromatin mitosis. H3K27ac depletion resulted in ecDNA detachment from chromosomes. Diverse bromodomain proteins, which are...
Aberrant Wnt signaling drives a number of cancers through regulation diverse downstream pathways. Wnt/β-catenin achieves this in part by increasing the expression proto-oncogenes such as MYC and cyclins. However, global assessment Wnt-regulated transcriptome vivo genetically distinct demonstrates that suppresses many genes it activates. In study, we examined set are upregulated upon inhibition Wnt-addicted pancreatic colorectal cancer models. Decreasing led to marked increase gene activating...

This transformation is nearly inevitable in patients has been difficult to capture laboratory models. Here we present pre-clinical system that recapitulates acquired SCLC, developed from 51 patient-derived xenografts (PDXs).

ABSTRACT Wnt signaling maintains diverse adult stem cell compartments and is implicated in chemotherapy resistance cancer. PORCN inhibitors that block secretion have proven effective Wnt-addicted preclinical cancer models are clinical trials. In a survey for potential combination therapies, we found inhibition synergizes with the PARP inhibitor olaparib cancers. Mechanistically, find multiple genes homologous recombination Fanconi anemia repair pathways, including BRCA1 , FANCD2 RAD51...
