Treatment of BRAFV600E -mutant melanomas with MAPK inhibitors (MAPKi) results in significant tumor regression, but acquired resistance is pervasive. To understand nonmutational mechanisms underlying the adaptation to MAPKi and identify novel vulnerabilities treated MAPKi, we focused on initial response phase during treatment MAPKi.By screening proteins expressed cell surface melanoma cells, identified fatty acid transporter CD36 as most consistently upregulated protein upon short-term MAPKi....
Abstract Recent studies have revealed the importance of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) as tissue-specific regulators gene expression. There is ample evidence that distinct types vasculature undergo tight transcriptional control to preserve their structure, identity, and functions. We determine a comprehensive map lineage-specific lncRNAs in human dermal lymphatic blood vascular endothelial cells (LECs BECs), combining RNA-Seq CAGE-Seq. Subsequent antisense oligonucleotide-knockdown...
miRNAs are small noncoding RNAs that regulate mRNA targets in a cell-specific manner. miR-29 is expressed murine and human skin, where it may functions skin repair. Cutaneous wound healing model miR-29a/b1 gene knockout mice was used to identify the matrix, angiogenesis maturation of provisional granulation tissue enhanced response genetic deletion miR-29. Consistently, antisense-mediated inhibition promoted vitro by autocrine paracrine mechanisms. These processes likely mediated target...
ABSTRACT Introduction Malignant melanoma is an aggressive tumour characterised by poor prognosis and therapeutic resistance. It partly driven the MAPK signalling pathway, providing a rationale for development of inhibitors (MAPKi) targeting key components activated pathway. MAPKi induce regression improve progression-free overall survival metastatic patients. However, due to drug resistance, even in patients displaying complete response, eventually progress. Both genetic non-genetic...
Abstract Recent studies have revealed the importance of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) as tissue-specific regulators gene expression. There is ample evidence that distinct types vasculature undergo tight transcriptional control to preserve their structure, identity, and functions. We determined, for first time, global lineage-specific lncRNAome human dermal blood lymphatic endothelial cells (BECs LECs), combining RNA-Seq CAGE-Seq. A subsequent genome-wide antisense oligonucleotide-knockdown...
