Abstract Osteosarcoma (OS) is a primary malignant bone tumor that most commonly affects children, adolescents, and young adults. Here, we comprehensively analyze genomic, epigenomic transcriptomic data from 121 OS patients. Somatic mutations are diverse within the cohort, only TP53 significantly mutated. Through unsupervised integrative clustering of multi-omics data, classify into four subtypes with distinct molecular features clinical prognosis: (1) Immune activated (S-IA), (2) suppressed...

Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1), consisting of oxygen-sensitive HIF-1alpha and constitutively expressed HIF-1beta subunits, is a master transcriptional activator for cellular response to hypoxia. To explore direct HIF-1 targets, here we used differential gel electrophoresis (DIGE) compare the HIF-1-regulated proteins between leukemic U937T-cell line with without conditional induction protein by tetracycline-off system. Among upregulated identified, mRNA levels annexin A1,...

Abstract Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are often enriched after chemotherapy and contribute to tumor relapse. While epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) widely used for the treatment of diverse types cancer, whether EGFR-TKIs effective against chemoresistant CSCs in cervical cancer is largely unknown. Here, we reveal that EGFR correlates with reduced disease-free survival patients chemotherapy. Erlotinib, an EGFR-TKI, effectively impedes enrichment...
