Abstract We recruited 56 colorectal cancer patients and compared the mutational spectrum of tumor tissue DNA, circulating cell‐free DNA, and circulating tumor cell DNA to evaluate the potential of liquid biopsy to detect heterogeneity of cancer. Tumor tissue DNA, circulating cell‐free DNA, and circulating tumor cell DNA were extracted from each patient and were analyzed using next generation sequencing and digital PCR. To maximize yields of circulating tumor cells, three antibodies were used in...
Abstract Ferroptosis is an iron‐dependent lipid peroxide cell death caused by inhibiting the cystine/glutamate transporter, which is of importance for the survival of triple‐negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells. Erastin is a low molecular weight chemotherapy drug that induces ferroptosis; however, poor water solubility and renal toxicity limited its application. Exosome, as drug delivery vehicles with low immunogenicity, high biocompatibility and high efficiency, have attracted attention in recent...

Opinion statement Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are relatively rare, with 12,000–15,000 new cases diagnosed annually in the USA. Although NETs are a diverse group of neoplasms, they share common molecular targets that can be exploited using nuclear medicine techniques for both imaging and therapy. NETs have traditionally been imaged with SPECT imaging using 111In-labeled octreotide analogs to detect neoplasms with somatostatin receptors. In addition, certain NETs (pheochromocytomas,...
The original version of this article, which published in Current Treatment Options in Oncology, Volume 19, Issue 11, November 2018, contained an error within the Conflict of Interest statements. It was originally stated that “Norma E. Farrow received support from an NIH T32 grant (T32-CA009111.”
Opinion statement Neuroendocrine neoplasia (NEN) represents a heterogenous group of tumours. Guidelines regarding treatment choice and sequencing remain complex given varied primary sites, hormone-secretory status, tumour grade, disease heterogeneity, and paucity of rigorous comparative trials due to rarity of this condition. However, there is increasing evidence that peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) is an effective treatment, especially for grade 1 and 2 NEN. Primary...

For most adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancers, age‐specific molecular features are poorly understood. SPECTA, an academic translational research infrastructure for biomaterial collection, will explicitly recruit AYA patients and will therefore collect empirical data to bridge the molecular gap between pediatric and adult oncology. The initial pilot study, activated in Feb‐2019 across Europe, will recruit 100 AYA patients (aged 12–29 years) with newly diagnosed or relapsed high‐grade gliomas...
Chemotherapy‐induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a significant side effect of chemotherapeutics. The mechanisms of CIPN remain substantially unidentified, although inflammation‐induced peripheral sensitization has been indicated as an important factor. Here, we aimed to illustrate the role of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)‐9‐related signaling pathway in the process of CIPN. Oxaliplatin was administered to mice to establish the CIPN model. Gelatin zymography was used to measure MMP‐9/2 activities....
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is frequently diagnosed incidentally as an early‐stage small renal mass (SRM; pT1a, ≤ 4 cm). Overtreatment of patients with benign or clinically indolent SRMs is increasingly common and has resulted in a recent shift in treatment recommendations. There are currently no available biomarkers that can accurately predict clinical behaviour. Therefore, we set out to identify early biomarkers of RCC progression. We employed a quantitative label‐free LC‐MS/MS proteomics approach...
Gastric cancer (GC) is the third leading cause of cancer deaths and the fourth most prevalent malignancy worldwide. The high incidence and mortality rates of gastric cancer result from multiple factors such as ineffective screening, diagnosis and limited treatment options. In this study, we sought to systematically identify predictive molecular networks and key regulators to elucidate complex interacting signaling pathways in GC. We performed an integrative network analysis of the transcriptomic...

Gene rearrangement is reported to be associated to the aggressive phenotype and poor prognosis in prostate cancer (CaP). We identified a gene-fusion between a transcription repressor (BMI1) and transcriptional factor (COMMD3) in human CaP. We show that COMMD3:BMI1 fusion expression is significantly increased in CaP disease in an order: normal tissue < primary < metastatic-tumors (Mets). Although elevated TMPRSS-ERG/ETV fusion is reported in CaP, we identified a subtype of Mets exhibiting low...
Cancer precision medicine aims to predict the drug likely to yield the best response for a patient. Genomic sequencing of tumours is currently being used to better inform treatment options, however, this approach has had a limited clinical impact due to the paucity of actionable mutations. An alternative to mutation status is the use of gene expression signatures to predict response. Using data from two large-scale studies, The Genomics of Drug Sensitivity of Cancer (GDSC) and The Cancer Therapeutics...
Melanoma patients have a high risk of developing brain metastasis, which is associated with a dismal prognosis. During early stages of metastasis development, the blood-brain barrier (BBB) is likely intact, which inhibits sufficient drug delivery into the metastatic lesions. We investigated the ability of the peptide, K16ApoE, to permeabilize the BBB for improved treatment with targeted therapies preclinically. DCE-MRI was carried out on NOD/SCID mice to study the therapeutic window of peptide-mediated...
DNA repair mechanisms are crucial for cell survival. It increases the cancer cell's ability to resist DNA damage. FEN1 involves in DNA replication and repair, specifically long patch base excision repair. Although the gene function and post-translational modification of FEN1 are well studied, the regulatory mechanism of FEN1 by upstream signal pathways remains unclear. In this paper, we have identified AKT as a regulator of FEN1 activity in lung cancer cells. Sustained activation of AKT can phosphorylate...

Abstract Chemoresistance is the primary cause of chemotherapy failure. Compelling evidence shows that micro RNAs (miRNAs) contribute to reprogram cancer cells toward a resistant phenotype. We investigate the role of miRNAs in the response to acute treatment with 5‐FU in colon cancer‐resistant cells. We performed a global gene expression profile for the entire miRNA genome and found a change in the expression of four miRNAs following acute treatment with 5‐FU. Among them, we focused on miR‐210‐3p,...
Abstract Sorafenib is the standard first‐line systemic chemotherapeutic drugs for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but acquired resistance to sorafenib is frequently observed in clinical practice. In this study, we first produced three sorafenib resistance (SR) HCC cell lines by using two human HCC cell lines (Hep3B and Huh7) and a human primary HCC cell line. We identified that epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and Kruppel‐like factor 4 (KLF4) are dramatically increased in the three...

The nadA motif is a riboswitch candidate present in various Acidobacteria species that was previously identified by bioinformatic analysis of bacterial DNA datasets. Over 100 unique representatives have been identified exclusively upstream of nadA genes, which code for an enzyme in the biosynthetic pathway of the ubiquitous coenzyme NAD+. The architecture of nadA motif RNAs suggests they employ structurally similar tandem ligand-binding aptamer domains to control translation initiation. Biochemical...
The RNA world hypothesis relies on the ability of ribonucleic acids to replicate and spontaneously acquire complex structures capable of supporting essential biological functions. Multiple sophisticated evolutionary models have been proposed for their emergence, but they often assume specific conditions. In this work we explore a simple and parsimonious scenario describing the emergence of complex molecular structures at the early stages of life. We show that at specific GC-content regimes, an undirected...
