Genetic mutation of p53 and suppression of the miR-17~92 cluster are synthetic lethal in non-small cell lung cancer due to upregulation of vitamin D signaling

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related fatalities. Recent success developing genotypically-targeted therapies, with potency only in well-defined subpopulations of tumors, suggests a path to improving patient survival. We utilized a library ...

IFN{alpha}/{beta} in Cancer Virotherapy Encoding for IL12

Host responses are increasingly considered important for the efficacious response to experimental cancer therapies that employ viral vectors, but little is known about the specific nature of host responses required. In this study, we investigated the ...

Strict requirement for vector-induced type I interferon in efficacious antitumor responses to virally encoded IL-12

Host responses are increasingly considered important for the efficacious response to experimental cancer therapies that employ viral vectors, but little is known about the specific nature of host responses required. In this study, we investigated the r...

Proneoplastic Threshold of eIF4E

Translation initiation factor eIF4E mediates normal cell proliferation, yet induces tumorigenesis when overexpressed. The mechanisms by which eIF4E directs such distinct biologic outputs remain unknown. We found that mouse mammary morphogenesis during...

SUMOylation Regulates EMT in Cancer

Carcinoma cells can transition from an epithelial-to-mesenchymal differentiation state through a process known as epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT). The process of EMT is characterized by alterations in the pattern of gene expression and is as...
