Overexpression of the cancer stem cell marker CD133 confers a poor prognosis in invasive breast cancer (2018)
Journal Article
Joseph, C., Arshad, M., Kurozomi, S., Althobiti, M., Miligy, I. M., Al-Izzi, S., …Rakha, E. A. (2019). Overexpression of the cancer stem cell marker CD133 confers a poor prognosis in invasive breast cancer. Breast Cancer Research and Treatment, 174(2), 387-399. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10549-018-05085-9

Purpose CD133/ prominin 1 is a cancer stem cell marker associated with cancer progression and patient outcome in a variety of solid tumours, but its role in invasive breast cancer (BC) remains obscure. The current study aims to assess the prognostic... Read More about Overexpression of the cancer stem cell marker CD133 confers a poor prognosis in invasive breast cancer.

CARM1 (PRMT4) acts as a transcriptional coactivator during retinoic acid-induced embryonic stem cell differentiation (2018)
Journal Article
Quintero, C. M., Laursen, K. B., Mongan, N. P., Luo, M., & Gudas, L. J. (2018). CARM1 (PRMT4) acts as a transcriptional coactivator during retinoic acid-induced embryonic stem cell differentiation. Journal of Molecular Biology, 430(21), 4168-4182. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmb.2018.08.014

Activation of the retinoic acid (RA) signaling pathway is important for controlling embryonic stem cell differentiation and development. Modulation of this pathway occurs through the recruitment of different epigenetic regulators at the retinoic acid...

The role of PIP5K1?/pAKT and targeted inhibition of growth of subtypes of breast cancer using PIP5K1? inhibitor (2018)
Journal Article
Sarwar, M., Syed Khaja, A. S., Aleskandarany, M., Karlsson, R., Althobiti, M., Ødum, N., …Persson, J. L. (2019). The role of PIP5K1α/pAKT and targeted inhibition of growth of subtypes of breast cancer using PIP5K1α inhibitor. Oncogene, 38(3), 375-389. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41388-018-0438-2

© 2018, The Author(s). Despite recent improvement in adjuvant therapies, triple-negative, and ER + subtypes of breast cancer (BC) with metastatic potentials remain the leading cause of BC-related deaths. We investigated the role of phosphatidylinosi... Read More about The role of PIP5K1?/pAKT and targeted inhibition of growth of subtypes of breast cancer using PIP5K1? inhibitor.

Clinicopathological and prognostic significance of Ras association and pleckstrin homology domains 1 (RAPH1) in breast cancer (2018)
Journal Article
Kurozumi, S., Joseph, C., Sonbul, S., Aleskandarany, M. A., Pigera, M., Alsaleem, M., …Rakha, E. A. (2018). Clinicopathological and prognostic significance of Ras association and pleckstrin homology domains 1 (RAPH1) in breast cancer. Breast Cancer Research and Treatment, 172(1), 61–68. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10549-018-4891-y

BACKGROUND: Ras association and pleckstrin homology domains 1 (RAPH1) is involved in cytoskeleton regulation and re-epithelialisation in invasive carcinoma and therefore may play a key role in carcinogenesis and metastasis. We herein investigated the... Read More about Clinicopathological and prognostic significance of Ras association and pleckstrin homology domains 1 (RAPH1) in breast cancer.

Impact of breast cancer grade discordance on prediction of outcome (2018)
Journal Article
Rakha, E. A., Aleskandarany, M. A., Toss, M. S., Mongan, N., El-Sayed, M. E., Green, A. R., …Dalton, L. W. (in press). Impact of breast cancer grade discordance on prediction of outcome. Histopathology, https://doi.org/10.1111/his.13709

BACKGROUND: Histological grade is an independent prognostic variable in breast cancer (BC). Previous concordance studies of BC grade have reported moderate levels of agreement; a typical finding in morphological assessment of biological variables. Th...

Heterogeneity of Tumour Infiltrating Lymphocytes (TILs) in breast cancer and its prognostic significance (2018)
Journal Article
Althobiti, M., Aleskandarany, M. A., Joseph, C., Toss, M., Mongan, N., Diez-Rodriguez, M., …Rakha, E. A. (2018). Heterogeneity of Tumour Infiltrating Lymphocytes (TILs) in breast cancer and its prognostic significance. Histopathology, 73(6), 887-896. https://doi.org/10.1111/his.13695

Background: Tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in breast cancer (BC) confer prognostic and predictive information. This study aims to assess the spatial and temporal heterogeneity of TILs in BC and its relationship with immune cell subtypes. Met...

The dog as an animal model for bladder and urethral urothelial carcinoma: comparative epidemiology and histology (2018)
Journal Article
de Brot, S., Robinson, B. D., Scase, T., Grau‑Roma, L., Wilkinson, E., Boorjian, S. A., …Mongan, N. P. (2018). The dog as an animal model for bladder and urethral urothelial carcinoma: comparative epidemiology and histology. Oncology Letters, 16(2), https://doi.org/10.3892/ol.2018.8837

Despite the recent approval of several novel agents for patients with metastatic urothelial carcinoma (UC), survival in this setting remains poor. As such, continued investigation into novel therapeutic options remains warranted. Pre clinical develop...
