PCK1 Is a Metabolic Feature of TRCs

Although metabolic defects have been investigated extensively in differentiated tumor cells, much less attention has been directed to the metabolic properties of stem-like cells that repopulate tumors [tumor-repopulating cells (TRC)]. Here, we show tha...

IGF2-PI3K and ERBB-RAS Alterations in Colorectal Tumorgrafts

Development of targeted therapeutics required translationally relevant preclinical models with well-characterized cancer genome alterations. Here, by studying 52 colorectal patient-derived tumor xenografts (PDX), we examined key molecular alterations ...

Evaluating patient-derived colorectal cancer-xenografts as preclinical models by comparison with patient clinical data

Development of targeted therapeutics required translationally-relevant preclinical models with well characterized cancer genome alterations. Here, by studying 52 colorectal patient-derived tumor xenografts (PDX), we examined key molecular alterations o...

FOXP3-miRNA-146-NF-{kappa}B Axis Controls Tumor Growth

FOXP3 functions not only as the master regulator in regulatory T cells, but also as an X-linked tumor suppressor. The tumor-suppressive activity of FOXP3 has been observed in tumor initiation, but its role during tumor progression remains controversia...

FOXP3 controls an miR-146/NF{kappa}B negative feedback loop that inhibits apoptosis in breast cancer cells

FOXP3 functions not only as the master regulator in regulatory T cells but also as an X-linked tumor suppressor. The tumor suppressive activity of FOXP3 has been observed in tumor initiation, but its role during tumor progression remains controversial....
