Phenotypic characterization of breast cancer: the role of CDC42 (2017)
Journal Article
Chrysanthou, E., Gorringe, K. L., Joseph, C., Craze, M. L., Nolan, C. C., Diez-Rodriguez, M., …Mukherjee, A. (2017). Phenotypic characterization of breast cancer: the role of CDC42. Breast Cancer Research and Treatment, 164(2), https://doi.org/10.1007/s10549-017-4267-8

Purpose: The molecular landscape of breast cancer (BC), especially of the Luminal A subtype, remains to be fully delineated. Transcriptomic data shows that Luminal A tumours are enriched for aberrant expression of genes in the cell division control 4...

Chemokine (C-C motif) receptor 7 (CCR7) associates with the tumour immune microenvironment but not progression in invasive breast carcinoma (2017)
Journal Article
Sonbul, S. N., Gorringe, K. L., Aleskandarany, M. A., Mukherjee, A., Green, A. R., Ellis, I. O., & Rakha, E. A. (2017). Chemokine (C-C motif) receptor 7 (CCR7) associates with the tumour immune microenvironment but not progression in invasive breast carcinoma. Journal of Pathology: Clinical Research, 3(2), 105-114. https://doi.org/10.1002/cjp2.65

Some previous studies have reported that the chemokine (C-C motif) receptor 7 (CCR7) plays a role in breast cancer, is associated with lymph node metastasis and drives the site of distant metastasis. However, the impact of its expression on patient o...

Prognostic significance of tumour infiltrating B-Lymphocytes in breast ductal carcinoma in situ (2017)
Journal Article
Miligy, I., Mohan, P., Gaber, A., Aleskandarany, M. A., Nolan, C. C., Diez‐Rodriguez, M., …Rakha, E. A. (2017). Prognostic significance of tumour infiltrating B-Lymphocytes in breast ductal carcinoma in situ. Histopathology, 71(2), 258-268. https://doi.org/10.1111/his.13217

Aims: Tumour?infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) are an important component of the immune response to cancer and have a prognostic value in breast cancer. Although several studies have investigated the role of T lymphocytes in breast cancer, the role of...

The somatic mutation profiles of 2,433 breast cancers refines their genomic and transcriptomic landscapes (2016)
Journal Article
Pereira, B., Chin, S., Rueda, O. M., Vollan, H. M., Provenzano, E., Bardwell, H. A., …Caldas, C. (in press). The somatic mutation profiles of 2,433 breast cancers refines their genomic and transcriptomic landscapes. Nature Communications, 7, Article 11479. https://doi.org/10.1038/ncomms11479

The genomic landscape of breast cancer is complex, and inter- and intra-tumour heterogeneity are important challenges in treating the disease. In this study, we sequence 173 genes in 2,433 primary breast tumours that have copy number aberration (CNA)...

Clinical and biological significance of glucocorticoid receptor (GR) expression in breast cancer (2015)
Journal Article
Abduljabbar, R., Negm, O. H., Lai, C., Jerjees, D. A., Al-Kaabi, M., Hamed, M. R., …Ellis, I. O. (2015). Clinical and biological significance of glucocorticoid receptor (GR) expression in breast cancer. Breast Cancer Research and Treatment, 150(2), 335-346. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10549-015-3335-1

The glucocorticoid receptor (GR) is a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily of transcription factors, which exerts anti-proliferative and anti-apoptotic activities. The GR is expressed in a large proportion of breast cancer (BC) although levels... Read More about Clinical and biological significance of glucocorticoid receptor (GR) expression in breast cancer.

The TRAIL system is over-expressed in breast cancer and FLIP a marker of good prognosis (2014)
Journal Article
Ullenhag, G. J., Al-Attar, A., Mukherjee, A., Green, A. R., Ellis, I. O., & Durrant, L. G. (2015). The TRAIL system is over-expressed in breast cancer and FLIP a marker of good prognosis. Journal of Cancer Research and Clinical Oncology, 141(3), 505-514. doi:10.1007/s00432-014-1822-0

Background Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. The tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) pathway transmits apoptotic signals. Novel anticancer agents that activate this system are in clinical development, in... Read More about The TRAIL system is over-expressed in breast cancer and FLIP a marker of good prognosis.

Genomic and protein expression analysis reveals flap endonuclease 1 (FEN1) as a key biomarker in breast and ovarian cancer (2014)
Journal Article
Abdel-Fatah, T. M., Russell, R., Albarakati, N., Maloney, D. J., Dorjsuren, D., Rueda, O. M., …Madhusudan, S. (2014). Genomic and protein expression analysis reveals flap endonuclease 1 (FEN1) as a key biomarker in breast and ovarian cancer. Molecular Oncology, 8(7), 1326-1338. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.molonc.2014.04.009

FEN1 has key roles in Okazaki fragment maturation during replication, long patch base excision repair, rescue of stalled replication forks, maintenance of telomere stability and apoptosis. FEN1 may be dysregulated in breast and ovarian cancers and ha...
