Abstract Polymorphisms at 8q24 are robustly associated with prostate cancer risk. The risk variants located in nonprotein coding regions and their mechanism has not been fully elucidated. To further dissect the function of this locus, we tested two hypotheses: (a) unannotated microRNAs (miRNA) transcribed region, (b) region is a cis-acting enhancer. Using next generation sequencing, were interrogated for known novel miRNAs histologically normal radical prostatectomy tissue. We also evaluated...

The expression of the ETS-related gene (ERG) is low or undetectable in benign prostate epithelial cells. High prevalence ERG overexpression cancer cells due to TMPRSS2-ERG fusions suggest for causal roles protein neoplastic process. fusion junctions have been extensively studied cancer.

Abstract MUC16 is a well-validated cell surface marker for serous adenocarcinomas of the ovary and other gynecologic malignancies that distinguished by highly repetitive sequences (“mucin repeats”) in extracellular domain (ECD). We produced compared two monoclonal antibodies: one (11D10) recognizing unique, nonrepeating epitope ECD another (3A5) recognizes repeats binds multiple sites on each protein. 3A5 conjugated to cytotoxic drugs exhibited superior toxicity against tumor cells vitro...

A role for the Notch signalling pathway in formation of arteriovenous malformations during development has been suggested. However, whether is involved brain humans remains unclear. Here, we performed immunohistochemistry on surgically resected and found that, compared with control vascular tissue, Notch-1 was activated smooth muscle endothelial cells lesional tissue. Western blotting showed an form malformations, irrespective clinical presentation or without preoperative embolization, but...

Patients who develop biochemical (PSA) recurrence after prostatectomy may subsequently metastases leading to their eventual death. However, many such patients receive additional therapies before developing metastases, so natural history disease progression in these is poorly described. We aimed report metastasis‐free survival overall for using a multicentre database....

Brain arteriovenous malformations (BAVM) have high matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) expression, the source of which is unclear. We hypothesized MMP-9 production might be due to inflammation in BAVM. Compared control brain tissues (n=5), BAVM tissue (n=139) had a higher expression (by ELISA) myeloperoxidase (MPO) (193±189 vs. 6±3, ng/mg, P<.001), (28±32 0.7±0.6, and IL-6 (102±218 0.1±0.1, pg/mg, but not eNOS (114±87 65±9, P=.09). highly correlated with (R2=.76, as well (R2=.32, P<.001).

Brain arteriovenous malformations cause intracranial hemorrhage. Molecular characterization of lesional tissue implicates angiogenic (vascular endothelial growth factor, ANG-2, matrix metalloproteinase-9) and inflammatory (cytokines chemokines) pathways, but the pathogenesis remain obscure medical therapy is lacking.

Prevalent gene fusions in prostate cancer involve androgen-regulated promoters (primarily TMPRSS2) and ETS transcription factors (predominantly ETS-regulated (ERG)], which result tumor selective overexpression of ERG two thirds patients. Because diverse genomic fusion events lead to cancer, we reasoned that it may be more practical capture such alterations using an assay targeting sequences retained fusions.
