Protein Oxidative Modifications in Neurodegenerative Diseases: From Advances in Detection and Modelling to Their Use as Disease Biomarkers (2024)
Journal Article

Oxidation–reduction post-translational modifications (redox-PTMs) are chemical alterations to amino acids of proteins. Redox-PTMs participate in the regulation of protein conformation, localization and function, acting as signalling effectors that im...

NANOG controls testicular germ cell tumour stemness through regulation of MIR9-2 (2024)
Journal Article

Background Testicular germ cell tumours (TGCTs) represent a clinical challenge; they are most prevalent in young individuals and are triggered by molecular mechanisms that are not fully understood. The origin of TGCTs can be traced back to primordia... Read More about NANOG controls testicular germ cell tumour stemness through regulation of MIR9-2.

Drug-resilient cancer cell phenotype is acquired via polyploidization associated with early stress response coupled to HIF-2α transcriptional regulation (2024)
Journal Article

Therapeutic resistance and recurrence remain core challenges in cancer therapy. How therapy resistance arises is currently not fully understood with tumors surviving via multiple alternative routes. Here, we demonstrate that a subset of cancer cells...

Spatial functional mapping of hypoxia inducible factor heterodimerisation and immune checkpoint regulators in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (2024)
Journal Article

Background: Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is a highly malignant subtype of kidney cancer. Ninety percent of ccRCC have inactivating mutations of VHL that stabilise transcription factors, HIF1α and HIF2α, only stabilised in hypoxia. The vari...

Classification of cancer cells at the sub-cellular level by phonon microscopy using deep learning (2023)
Journal Article

There is a consensus about the strong correlation between the elasticity of cells and tissue and their normal, dysplastic, and cancerous states. However, developments in cell mechanics have not seen significant progress in clinical applications. In t...

Targeting hypoxia regulated sodium driven bicarbonate transporters reduces triple negative breast cancer metastasis (2022)
Journal Article

Regions of low oxygen (hypoxia) are found in >50% of breast tumours, most frequently in the more aggressive triple negative breast cancer subtype (TNBC). Metastasis is the cause of 90% of breast cancer patient deaths. Regions of tumour hypoxia tend t...

Intratumour heterogeneity in microRNAs expression regulates glioblastoma metabolism (2021)
Journal Article

While specific microRNA (miRNA) signatures have been identified in glioblastoma (GBM), the intratumour heterogeneity in miRNA expression has not yet been characterised. In this study, we reveal significant alterations in miRNA expression across three... Read More about Intratumour heterogeneity in microRNAs expression regulates glioblastoma metabolism.

Regulation of cellular sterol homeostasis by the oxygen responsive noncoding RNA lincNORS (2020)
Journal Article

We hereby provide the initial portrait of lincNORS, a spliced lincRNA generated by the MIR193BHG locus, entirely distinct from the previously described miR-193b-365a tandem. While inducible by low O2 in a variety of cells and associated with hypoxia... Read More about Regulation of cellular sterol homeostasis by the oxygen responsive noncoding RNA lincNORS.

Hypoxia-induced switch in SNAT2/SLC38A2 regulation generates endocrine resistance in breast cancer (2019)
Journal Article

Tumor hypoxia is associated with poor patient outcomes in estrogen receptor-α–positive (ERα+) breast cancer. Hypoxia is known to affect tumor growth by reprogramming metabolism and regulating amino acid (AA) uptake. Here, we show that the glutamine t...

Adaptation to HIF1a deletion in hypoxic cancer cells by upregulation of GLUT14 and creatine metabolism (2019)
Journal Article

© 2019 American Association for Cancer Research. Hypoxia-inducible factor 1a is a key regulator of the hypoxia response in normal and cancer tissues. It is well recognized to regulate glycolysis and is a target for therapy. However, how tumor cells a...

Altered glutamine metabolism in breast cancer: subtype dependencies and alternative adaptations (2017)
Journal Article

Cancer cells must alter their metabolism in order to satisfy the demands of necessary energy and cellular building blocks. These metabolic alterations are mediated by many oncogenic changes that affect cellular signalling pathways, which result in su...

MicroRNA regulation of glycolytic metabolism in glioblastoma multiforme (2017)
Journal Article

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most aggressive and common malignant brain and central nervous system tumour. A well-known hallmark of GMB, and many other tumours, is aerobic glycolysis. microRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of short non-protein coding...

The BET inhibitor JQ1 selectively impairs tumour response to hypoxia and downregulates CA9 and angiogenesis in triple negative breast cancer (2016)
Journal Article

The availability of bromodomain and extra-terminal inhibitors (BETi) has enabled translational epigenetic studies in cancer. BET proteins regulate transcription by selectively recognizing acetylated lysine residues on chromatin. BETi compete with thi...

Disrupting Hypoxia-Induced Bicarbonate Transport Acidifies Tumor Cells and Suppresses Tumor Growth (2016)
Journal Article

Tumor hypoxia is associated clinically with therapeutic resistance and poor patient outcomes. One feature of tumor hypoxia is activated expression of carbonic anhydrase IX (CA9), a regulator of pH and tumor growth. In this study, we investigated the...

The pH low insertion peptide pHLIP Variant 3 as a novel marker of acidic malignant lesions (2015)
Journal Article

Current strategies for early detection of breast and other cancers are limited in part because some lesions identified as potentially malignant do not develop into aggressive tumors. Acid pH has been suggested as a key characteristic of aggressive tu... Read More about The pH low insertion peptide pHLIP Variant 3 as a novel marker of acidic malignant lesions.
