Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide, due in part to propensity metastasize. Aberrant epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) a proposed model for initiation metastasis. During EMT cell-cell adhesion reduced allowing cells dissociate and invade. Of EMT-associated transcription factors, ZEB1 uniquely promotes NSCLC disease progression. Here we apply two independent screens, BioID an Epigenome shRNA dropout screen, define interactors that...
Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) constitutes a part of the oncogenic fusion proteins nucleophosmin-ALK and echinoderm microtubule-associated protein like 4-ALK, which are aberrantly expressed in subset T-cell anaplastic large-cell non-small-cell lung cancer, respectively. The expression mutated, constitutively active ALK also occurs neuroblastoma tumors. is believed to play an important role promoting tumor survival. Nevertheless, mechanisms underlying cancer cells not completely known....
Abstract NPM‐ALK chimeric oncogene is aberrantly expressed in an aggressive subset of T‐cell lymphomas that frequently occurs children and young adults. The mechanisms underlying the oncogenic effects are not completely elucidated. Inducible nitric oxide synthase ( iNOS ) promotes survival maintains malignant phenotype cancer cells by generating NO , a highly active free radical. We tested hypothesis deregulated + lymphoma this lymphoma. In line with possibility, inhibitor scavenger...
Background Type I insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGF-IR) tyrosine kinase induces significant oncogenic effects. Strategies to block IGF-IR signaling are being tested in clinical trials that include patients with aggressive solid malignancies. Mantle cell lymphoma is a B-cell neoplasm poor prognosis and tendency develop resistance. The expression potential significance of mantle not known.Design Methods We used reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction, quantitative real-time...

Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition results in loss of specialized epithelial cell contacts and acquisition mesenchymal invasive capacity. The transcription repressor zinc finger E-box-binding homeobox 1 (ZEB1) binds to E-boxes gene promoter regions suppress the expression genes. ZEB1 has inconsistent molecular weights, which have been attributed post-translational modifications (PTMs). We performed mass spectrometry identified K811 acetylation as a novel PTM ZEB1. To define role regulating...
Abstract The primary oncogene associated with CML is BCR/ABL which controls proliferative and survival signaling a potent inducer of reactive oxygen species (ROS). ROS play both positive negative roles in proliferation survival; this dual nature has been exploited by leukemia cells to promote growth, genomic instability, drug resistance. However, the distinct molecular alterations that occur as result BCR/ABL-induced are not well described. BCR/ABL-targeted therapeutics have improved...
Abstract Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) is a receptor tyrosine with structural similarities to the insulin receptor. ALK physiologically expressed in neuronal cells at early stages of human development. Thereafter, expression largely limited malignant neoplasms including T-cell anaplastic large-cell (ALCL), non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and neuroblastoma. It has been previously established that ALK, form chimeric proteins or constitutively activated mutants, plays central role...
