IL6 Inhibition Upregulates EGFR Signaling

Excess production of the proinflammatory IL6 has both local and systemic tumor-promoting activity in many cancers, including ovarian cancer. However, treatment of advanced ovarian cancer patients with a neutralizing IL6 antibody yielded little efficac...

Adaptive upregulation of EGFR limits attenuation of tumor growth by neutralizing IL-6 antibodies with implications for combined therapy in ovarian cancer

Excess production of the pro-inflammatory interleukin IL-6 has both local and systemic tumor-promoting activity in many cancers, including ovarian cancer. However, treatment of advanced ovarian cancer patients with a neutralizing IL-6 antibody yielded ...

CLK2 as a Therapeutic Target in Breast Cancer

Genetically activated kinases have been attractive therapeutic targets in cancer due to the relative ease of developing tumor-specific treatment strategies for them. To discover novel putative oncogenic kinases, we identified 26 genes commonly amplifi...

CLK2 is an oncogenic kinase and splicing regulator in breast cancer

Genetically activated kinases have been attractive therapeutic targets in cancer due to the relative ease of developing tumor-specific treatment strategies for them. To discover novel putative oncogenic kinases, we identified 26 genes commonly amplifie...

ALDH1 Is a Marker of Prostate Cancer Radioresistance

Radiotherapy is a curative treatment option in prostate cancer. Nevertheless, patients with high-risk prostate cancer are prone to relapse. Identification of the predictive biomarkers and molecular mechanisms of radioresistance bears promise to improv...
