Molecular expression patterns in the synovium and their association with advanced symptomatic knee osteoarthritis (2018)
Journal Article
Wyatt, L. A., Nwosu, L. N., Wilson, D., Hill, R., Spendlove, I., Bennett, A. J., …Walsh, D. A. (2018). Molecular expression patterns in the synovium and their association with advanced symptomatic knee osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis and Cartilage, 27(4), 667-675. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.joca.2018.12.012

Objective: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a major source of knee pain. Mechanisms of OA knee pain are incompletely understood but include synovial pathology. We aimed to identify molecular expression patterns in the synovium associated with symptomatic knee...

Connexin 43 is an independent predictor of patient outcome in breast cancer patients (2018)
Journal Article
Chasampalioti, M., Green, A. R., Ellis, I. O., Rakha, E. A., Jackson, A. M., Spendlove, I., & Ramage, J. M. (2019). Connexin 43 is an independent predictor of patient outcome in breast cancer patients. Breast Cancer Research and Treatment, 174(1), 93-102. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10549-018-5063-9

Purpose

Gap junctions are specialized membrane structures that form channels between adjacent cells allowing cell communication. Gap junctions and specifically Connexin 43 (Cx43) are down-regulated in cancer; however, there are contrasting reports...

A HIF-LIMD1 negative feedback mechanism mitigates the pro-tumorigenic effects of hypoxia (2018)
Journal Article
Foxler, D. E., Bridge, K. S., Foster, J. G., Grevitt, P., Curry, S., Shah, K. M., Davidson, K. M., Nagano, A., Gadaleta, E., Rhys, H. I., Kennedy, P. T., Hermida, M. A., Chang, T.-Y., Shaw, P. E., Reynolds, L. E., McKay, T. R., Wang, H.-. W., Ribeiro, P. S., Plevin, M. J., Lagos, D., …Sharp, T. V. (in press). A HIF-LIMD1 negative feedback mechanism mitigates the pro-tumorigenic effects of hypoxia. EMBO Molecular Medicine, Article e8304. https://doi.org/10.15252/emmm.201708304

The adaptive cellular response to low oxygen tensions is mediated by the hypoxia inducible factors (HIFs), a family of heterodimeric transcription factors composed of HIF-α and β subunits. Prolonged HIF expression is a key contributor to cellular t... Read More about A HIF-LIMD1 negative feedback mechanism mitigates the pro-tumorigenic effects of hypoxia.
