Regulation of vascular endothelial growth factor in prostate cancer (2015)
Journal Article
de Brot, S., Ntekim, A., Cardenas, R., James, V., Allegrucci, C., Heery, D. M., Bates, D. O., Ødum, N., Persson, J. L., & Mongan, N. P. (2015). Regulation of vascular endothelial growth factor in prostate cancer. Endocrine-Related Cancer, 22(3), Article R107-R123. https://doi.org/10.1530/ERC-15-0123

Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most common malignancy affecting men in the western world. Although radical prostatectomy and radiation therapy can successfully treat PCa in the majority of patients, up to ∼30% will experience local recurrence or metast...

Induction of autophagy is a key component of all-trans-retinoic acid-induced differentiation in leukemia cells and a potential target for pharmacologic modulation (2015)
Journal Article
Orfali, N., O'Donovan, T. R., Nyhan, M. J., Britschgi, A., Tschan, M. P., Cahill, M. R., Mongan, N. P., Gudas, L. J., & McKenna, S. L. (2015). Induction of autophagy is a key component of all-trans-retinoic acid-induced differentiation in leukemia cells and a potential target for pharmacologic modulation. Experimental Hematology, 43(9), 781-793.e2. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.exphem.2015.04.012

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is characterized by the accumulation of immature blood cell precursors in the bone marrow. Pharmacologically overcoming the differentiation block in this condition is an attractive therapeutic avenue, which has achieved s...

A predictive model for canine dilated cardiomyopathy: a meta-analysis of Doberman Pinscher data (2015)
Journal Article
Simpson, S., Edwards, J., Emes, R. D., Cobb, M. A., Mongan, N. P., & Rutland, C. S. (2015). A predictive model for canine dilated cardiomyopathy: a meta-analysis of Doberman Pinscher data. PeerJ, 3, Article e842. https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj.842

Dilated cardiomyopathy is a prevalent and often fatal disease in humans and dogs. Indeed dilated cardiomyopathy is the third most common form of cardiac disease in humans, reported to affect approximately 36 individuals per 100,000 individuals. In do...

Molecular Characterization of Adipose Tissue in the African Elephant (Loxodonta africana) (2014)
Journal Article
Nilsson, E. M., Fainberg, H. P., Choong, S. S., Giles, T. C., Sells, J., May, S., Stansfield, F. J., Allen, W. R., Emes, R. D., Mostyn, A., Mongan, N. P., & Yon, L. (2014). Molecular Characterization of Adipose Tissue in the African Elephant (Loxodonta africana). PLoS ONE, 9(3), Article e91717. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0091717

Adipose tissue (AT) is a dynamic and flexible organ with regulatory roles in physiological functions including metabolism, reproduction and inflammation; secreted adipokines, including leptin, and fatty acids facilitate many of these roles. The Afric... Read More about Molecular Characterization of Adipose Tissue in the African Elephant (Loxodonta africana).

A signature motif mediating selective interactions of BCL11A with the NR2E/F subfamily of orphan nuclear receptors (2013)
Journal Article
Chan, C. M., Fulton, J., Montiel-Duarte, C., Collins, H. M., Bharti, N., Wadelin, F. R., Moran, P. M., Mongan, N. P., & Heery, D. M. (2013). A signature motif mediating selective interactions of BCL11A with the NR2E/F subfamily of orphan nuclear receptors. Nucleic Acids Research, 41(21), https://doi.org/10.1093/nar/gkt761

Despite their physiological importance, selective interactions between nuclear receptors (NRs) and their cofactors are poorly understood. Here, we describe a novel signature motif (F/YSXXLXXL/Y) in the developmental regulator BCL11A that facilitates...

Polycomb recruitment attenuates retinoic acid–induced transcription of the bivalent NR2F1 gene (2013)
Journal Article
Laursen, K. B., Mongan, N. P., Zhuang, Y., Ng, M. M., Benoit, Y. D., & Gudas, L. J. (2013). Polycomb recruitment attenuates retinoic acid–induced transcription of the bivalent NR2F1 gene. Nucleic Acids Research, 41(13), 6430–6443. https://doi.org/10.1093/nar/gkt367

Polycomb proteins play key roles in mediating epigenetic modifications that occur during cell differentiation. The Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) mediates the tri-methylation of histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27me3). In this study, we identify a dist...
