Medulloblastoma and ependymoma cells display levels of 5-carboxylcytosine and elevated TET1 expression (2017)
Journal Article
Ramsawhook, A., Lewis, L., Coyle, B., & Ruzov, A. (2017). Medulloblastoma and ependymoma cells display levels of 5-carboxylcytosine and elevated TET1 expression. Clinical Epigenetics, 9(18), https://doi.org/10.1186/s13148-016-0306-2

Background
Alteration of DNA methylation (5-methylcytosine, 5mC) patterns represents one of the causes of tumorigenesis and cancer progression. Tet proteins can oxidize 5mC to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC), 5-formylcytosine and 5-carboxylcytosine (...

Development of potent, selective SRPK1 inhibitors as potential topical therapeutics for neovascular eye disease (2017)
Journal Article
Batson, J., Toop, H. D., Redondo, C., Babaei-Jadidi, R., Chaikaud, A., Wearmouth, S. F., Gibbons, B., Allen, C., Tallant, C., Zhang, J., Du, C., Hancox, J. C., Hawtrey, T., Da Rocha, J., Griffith, R., Knapp, S., Bates, D. O., & Morris, J. C. (2017). Development of potent, selective SRPK1 inhibitors as potential topical therapeutics for neovascular eye disease. ACS Chemical Biology, 12(3), 825-832. https://doi.org/10.1021/acschembio.6b01048

Serine/arginine-protein kinase 1 (SRPK1) regulates alternative splicing of VEGF-A to pro-angiogenic isoforms and SRPK1 inhibition can restore the balance of pro/antiangiogenic isoforms to normal physiological levels. The lack of potency and selectivi... Read More about Development of potent, selective SRPK1 inhibitors as potential topical therapeutics for neovascular eye disease.

Differential regulation of blood flow induced neovascularisation and mural cell recruitment by VEGF and angiopoietin signaling (2017)
Journal Article
Stone, O. A., Carter, J. G., Lin, P. C., Paleolog, E., Machado, M. J. C., & Bates, D. O. (2017). Differential regulation of blood flow induced neovascularisation and mural cell recruitment by VEGF and angiopoietin signaling. Journal of Physiology, 595(5), 1575-1591. https://doi.org/10.1113/JP273430

Signalling through VEGF receptors and the Tie2 receptor by angiopoietins is required in combination with blood flow for the formation of a functional vascular network. We tested the hypothesis that VEGF and Ang1 contribute differentially to neovascul...

Spheroid arrays for high-throughput single-cell analysis of spatial patterns and biomarker expression in 3D (2017)
Journal Article
Ivanov, D. P., & Grabowska, A. M. (2017). Spheroid arrays for high-throughput single-cell analysis of spatial patterns and biomarker expression in 3D. Scientific Reports, 7(1), Article 41160. https://doi.org/10.1038/srep41160

We describe and share a device, methodology and image analysis algorithms, which allow up to 66 spheroids to be arranged into a gel-based array directly from a culture plate for downstream processing and analysis. Compared to processing individual sa... Read More about Spheroid arrays for high-throughput single-cell analysis of spatial patterns and biomarker expression in 3D.

Cyclin E overexpression as a biomarker for combination treatment strategies in inflammatory breast cancer (2017)
Journal Article
Alexander, A., Karakas, C., Chen, X., Carey, J. P., Yi, M., Bondy, M., …Keyomarsi, K. (2017). Cyclin E overexpression as a biomarker for combination treatment strategies in inflammatory breast cancer. Oncotarget, 8, 14897-14911. https://doi.org/10.18632/oncotarget.14689

Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is a virulent form of breast cancer, and novel treatment strategies are urgently needed. Immunohistochemical analysis of tumors from women with a clinical diagnosis of IBC (n = 147) and those with non-IBC breast cance...

RORγt+ innate lymphoid cells promote lymph node metastasis of breast cancers (2017)
Journal Article
Irshad, S., Flores-Borja, F., Lawler, K., Monypenny, J., Evans, R., Male, V., …Martin, S. G. (2017). RORγt+ innate lymphoid cells promote lymph node metastasis of breast cancers. Cancer Research, 77(5), 1083-1096. https://doi.org/10.1158/0008-5472.CAN-16-0598

Cancer cells tend to metastasize first to tumor-draining lymph nodes, but the mechanisms mediating cancer cell invasion into the lymphatic vasculature remain little understood. Here, we show that in the human breast tumor microenvironment (TME), the... Read More about RORγt+ innate lymphoid cells promote lymph node metastasis of breast cancers.
