POR Is a Major Determinant of Sensitivity to HAPs

Hypoxia is a prevalent feature of many tumors contributing to disease progression and treatment resistance, and therefore constitutes an attractive therapeutic target. Several hypoxia-activated prodrugs (HAP) have been developed, including the phase II...

Identification of P450 Oxidoreductase as a Major Determinant of Sensitivity to Hypoxia-Activated Prodrugs

Hypoxia is a prevalent feature of many tumors contributing to disease progression and treatment resistance, and therefore constitutes an attractive therapeutic target. Several hypoxia-activated prodrugs (HAPs) have been developed including the Phase II...

Small molecule NSC59984 restores p53 pathway signaling and anti-tumor effects against colorectal cancer via p73 activation and degradation of mutant p53

The tumor suppressor p53 prevents cancer development via initiating cell cycle arrest, cell death, repair, or anti-angiogenesis processes. Over 50% of human cancers harbor cancer-causing mutant p53. p53 mutations not only abrogate its tumor suppressor ...

Akt kinase-interacting protein Aki1 signals through CREB to drive diffuse malignant mesothelioma

Diffuse malignant mesothelioma (DMM) is a tumor of serosal membranes with propensity for progressive local disease. Since current treatment options are largely ineffective, novel therapeutic strategies based on molecular mechanisms and the disease char...

Aki1 Is a Therapeutic Target in DMM

Diffuse malignant mesothelioma (DMM) is a tumor of serosal membranes with propensity for progressive local disease. Because current treatment options are largely ineffective, novel therapeutic strategies based on molecular mechanisms and the disease ch...
