Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a female-specific cystic lung disease in which tuberous sclerosis complex 2 (TSC2)-deficient LAM cells, LAM-associated fibroblasts (LAFs), and other cell types infiltrate the lungs. LAM lesions can be associated with... Read More about Cross talk between LAM cells and fibroblasts may influence alveolar epithelial cell behavior in lymphangioleiomyomatosis.

Anti-miR-135/SPOCK1 axis antagonizes the influence of metabolism on drug response in intestinal/colon tumour organoids (2022)
Journal Article

Anti-miR-135/SPOCK1 axis antagonizes the influence of metabolism on drug response in intestinal/colon tumour organoids. Oncogenesis, 11, Article 4. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41389-021-00376-1

Little is known about the role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in rewiring the metabolism within tumours and adjacent non-tumour bearing normal tissue and their potential in cancer therapy. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between deregulated m...

Mast Cell Tryptase Release Contributes to Disease Progression in Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (2021)
Journal Article
Babaei-Jadidi, R., Dongre, A., Miller, S., Castellanos Uribe, M., Stewart, I. D., Thompson, Z. M., …Johnson, S. R. (2021). Mast Cell Tryptase Release Contributes to Disease Progression in Lymphangioleiomyomatosis. American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 204(4), 431-444. https://doi.org/10.1164/rccm.202007-2854OC

Rationale: Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a multisystem disease that causes lung cysts and respiratory failure. Loss of TSC (tuberous sclerosis complex) gene function results in a clone of “LAM cells” with dysregulated mTOR (mechanistic target of...

Tumour-promoting inflammation is involved in colorectal cancer (CRC) development and therapeutic resistance. However, the antibiotics and antibacterial drugs and signalling that regulate the potency of anticancer treatment upon forced differentiation...

Increased FLYWCH1 Expression is Negatively Correlated with Wnt/?-catenin Target Gene Expression in Acute Myeloid Leukemia Cells (2019)
Journal Article
Almars, A., Chondrou, P. S., Onyido, E. K., Almozyan, S., Seedhouse, C., Babaei-Jadidi, R., & Nateri, A. S. (2019). Increased FLYWCH1 Expression is Negatively Correlated with Wnt/?-catenin Target Gene Expression in Acute Myeloid Leukemia Cells. International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 20(11), Article 2739. https://doi.org/10.3390/ijms20112739

Acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) is a heterogeneous clonal malignancy of hematopoietic progenitor cells. The Wnt pathway and its downstream targets are tightly regulated by ?-catenin. We recently discovered a new protein, FLYWCH1, which can directly bin...

SRPK1 maintains acute myeloid leukemia through effects on isoform usage of epigenetic regulators including BRD4 (2018)
Journal Article
Tzelepis, K., De Braekeleer, E., Aspris, D., Barbieri, I., Vijayabaskar, M. S., Liu, W., …Vassiliou, G. S. (2018). SRPK1 maintains acute myeloid leukemia through effects on isoform usage of epigenetic regulators including BRD4. Nature Communications, 9(1), https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-018-07620-0

We recently identified the splicing kinase gene SRPK1 as a genetic vulnerability of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Here, we show that genetic or pharmacological inhibition of SRPK1 leads to cell cycle arrest, leukemic cell differentiation and prolonge...

Angiogenesis is required for tumour growth and is induced principally by vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A). VEGF-A pre-mRNA is alternatively spliced at the terminal exon to produce two families of isoforms, pro- and anti-angiogenic, only...
