The incidence of esophageal adenocarcinoma is rising, survival remains poor, and new tools to improve early diagnosis and precise treatment are needed. Cancer phospholipidomes quantified with mass spectrometry imaging can support objective diagnosis in minutes using a routine frozen tissue section. However, whether mass spectrometry imaging can objectively identify primary esophageal adenocarcinoma is currently unknown and represents a significant challenge, as this microenvironment is complex with...
For the constellation of neurological disorders known as chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy, mechanistic understanding and treatment remain deficient. Here we present the first evidence that chronic sensory neuropathy depends on non-linear interactions between cancer and chemotherapy. Global transcriptional profiling of dorsal root ganglia revealed differential expression, notably in regulators of neuronal excitability, metabolism, and inflammatory responses, all of which were unpredictable...
RUNX3, a RUNX family transcription factor, regulates normal hematopoiesis and functions as a tumor suppressor in various tumors in humans and mice. However, emerging studies have documented increased expression of RUNX3 in hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPC) of a subset of patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) showing a worse outcome, suggesting an oncogenic function for RUNX3 in the pathogenesis of hematological malignancies. To elucidate the oncogenic function of RUNX3 in the pathogenesis...
In incurable castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), resistance to the novel androgen receptor (AR) antagonist enzalutamide (ENZ) is driven mainly by AR overexpression. Here we report that the expression of interferon regulatory factor 8 (IRF8) is increased in primary prostate cancer (PCa) but decreased in CRPC compared to normal prostate tissue. Decreased expression of IRF8 positively associated with CRPC progression and ENZ resistance. IRF8 interacted with AR and promoted its degradation via...
p27 binds and inhibits cyclin-CDK to arrest the cell cycle. p27 also regulates other processes including migration and development independent of its CDK inhibitory action. p27 is an atypical tumor suppressor: deletion or mutational inactivation of the gene encoding p27, CDKN1B, is rare in human cancers. p27 is rarely fully lost in cancers because it can play both tumor suppressive and oncogenic roles. Until recently, the paradigm was that oncogenic deregulation results from either loss of growth...
Metastasis is the major cause of mortality for cancer patients, and dysregulation of developmental signaling pathways can significantly contribute to the metastatic process. The SIX1/EYA transcriptional complex plays a critical role in the development of multiple organs and is typically downregulated after development is complete. In breast cancer, aberrant expression of SIX1 has been demonstrated to stimulate metastasis through activation of TGF-β signaling and subsequent induction of epithelial-mesenchymal...
