Differences in the pattern and regulation of mineral deposition in human cell lines of osteogenic and non-osteogenic origin (2011)
Journal Article
Rashidi, H., Strohbuecker, S., Jackson, L., Kalra, S., Blake, A. J., France, L., Tufarelli, C., & Sottile, V. (2011). Differences in the pattern and regulation of mineral deposition in human cell lines of osteogenic and non-osteogenic origin. Cells Tissues Organs, 195(6), https://doi.org/10.1159/000329861

Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are widely used as a cellular model of bone formation, and can mineralize in vitro in response to osteogenic medium (OM). It is unclear, however, whether this property is specific to cells of mesenchy...

Oxr1 Is Essential for Protection against Oxidative Stress-Induced Neurodegeneration (2011)
Journal Article

Oxr1 Is Essential for Protection against Oxidative Stress-Induced Neurodegeneration. PLoS Genetics, 7(10), Article e1002338. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pgen.1002338

Oxidative stress is a common etiological feature of neurological disorders, although the pathways that govern defence against reactive oxygen species (ROS) in neurodegeneration remain unclear. We have identified the role of oxidation resistance 1 (Ox... Read More about Oxr1 Is Essential for Protection against Oxidative Stress-Induced Neurodegeneration.

Expression of thioredoxin system and related peroxiredoxin proteins is associated with clinical outcome in radiotherapy treated early stage breast cancer (2011)
Journal Article
Woolston, C. M., Storr, S. J., Ellis, I. O., Morgan, D. A., & Martin, S. G. (2011). Expression of thioredoxin system and related peroxiredoxin proteins is associated with clinical outcome in radiotherapy treated early stage breast cancer. Radiotherapy and Oncology, 100(2), 308-313. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.radonc.2011.05.029

Background and purpose
Deregulated redox systems provide cancer cells protection from increased oxidative stress, such as that induced by ionizing radiation. Expression of the thioredoxin system proteins (thioredoxin, thioredoxin reductase and thior...

Calpastatin is associated with lymphovascular invasion in breast cancer (2011)
Journal Article
Storr, S. J., Mohammed, R. A., Woolston, C. M., Green, A. R., Parr, T., Spiteri, I., Caldas, C., Ball, G. R., Ellis, I. O., & Martin, S. G. (2011). Calpastatin is associated with lymphovascular invasion in breast cancer. Breast, 20(5), 413-418. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.breast.2011.04.002

Metastasis of breast cancer is a major contributor to mortality. Histological assessment of vascular invasion (VI) provides important prognostic information and demonstrates that VI occurs predominantly via lymphatics in breast cancer. We sought to e...

The calpain system and cancer (2011)
Journal Article
Storr, S. J., Carragher, N. O., Frame, M. C., Parr, T., & Martin, S. G. (2011). The calpain system and cancer. Nature Reviews Cancer, 11(5), 364-374. https://doi.org/10.1038/nrc3050

The calpains are a conserved family of cysteine proteinases that catalyse the controlled proteolysis of many specific substrates. Calpain activity is implicated in several fundamental physiological processes, including cytoskeletal remodelling, cellu... Read More about The calpain system and cancer.

Calpain-1 expression is associated with relapse-free survival in breast cancer patients treated with trastuzumab following adjuvant chemotherapy (2011)
Journal Article
Storr, S. J., Woolston, C. M., Barros, F. F., Green, A. R., Shehata, M., Chan, S. Y., Ellis, I. O., & Martin, S. G. (2011). Calpain-1 expression is associated with relapse-free survival in breast cancer patients treated with trastuzumab following adjuvant chemotherapy. International Journal of Cancer, 129(7), 1773-1780. https://doi.org/10.1002/ijc.25832

The calpain family, and their endogenous inhibitor calpastatin, has been implicated in cancer progression, and recent in vitro data have indicated a role in trastuzumab resistance. The aims of our study were to examine expression levels of calpastati...

Redox Protein Expression Predicts Radiotherapeutic Response in Early-Stage Invasive Breast Cancer Patients (2011)
Journal Article
Woolston, C. M., Al-Attar, A., Ellis, I. O., Storr, S. J., Morgan, D. A., & Martin, S. G. (2011). Redox Protein Expression Predicts Radiotherapeutic Response in Early-Stage Invasive Breast Cancer Patients. International Journal of Radiation Oncology - Biology - Physics, 79(5), 1532-1540. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijrobp.2010.11.002

Purpose

Early-stage invasive breast cancer patients have commonly undergone breast-conserving surgery and radiotherapy. In a large majority of these patients, the treatment is effective; however, a proportion will develop local recurrence. Deregul...
