Lipoprotein Deprivation Reveals a Cholesterol-Dependent Therapeutic Vulnerability in Diffuse Glioma Metabolism (2022)
Journal Article
Wood, J., Abdelrazig, S., Evseev, S., Ortori, C., Castellanos-Uribe, M., May, S. T., …Rahman, R. (2022). Lipoprotein Deprivation Reveals a Cholesterol-Dependent Therapeutic Vulnerability in Diffuse Glioma Metabolism. Cancers, 14(16), Article 3873. https://doi.org/10.3390/cancers14163873

Poor outcomes associated with diffuse high-grade gliomas occur in both adults and children, despite substantial progress made in the molecular characterisation of the disease. Targeting the metabolic requirements of cancer cells represents an alterna...

Genome-Wide Expression and Anti-Proliferative Effects of Electric Field Therapy on Pediatric and Adult Brain Tumors (2022)
Journal Article
Branter, J., Estevez-Cebrero, M., Diksin, M., Griffin, M., Castellanos-Uribe, M., May, S., Rahman, R., Grundy, R., Basu, S., & Smith, S. (2022). Genome-Wide Expression and Anti-Proliferative Effects of Electric Field Therapy on Pediatric and Adult Brain Tumors. International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 23(4), Article 1982. https://doi.org/10.3390/ijms23041982

The lack of treatment options for high-grade brain tumors has led to searches for alternative therapeutic modalities. Electrical field therapy is one such area. The Optune™ system is an FDA-approved novel device that delivers continuous alternating e...

CG7379 and ING1 suppress cancer cell invasion by maintaining cell–cell junction integrity (2021)
Journal Article
Rusu, A. D., Cornhill, Z. E., Coutiño, B. C., Uribe, M. C., Lourdusamy, A., Markus, Z., …Georgiou, M. (2021). CG7379 and ING1 suppress cancer cell invasion by maintaining cell–cell junction integrity. Open Biology, 11(9), Article 210077. https://doi.org/10.1098/rsob.210077

Approximately 90% of cancer-related deaths can be attributed to a tumour's ability to spread. We have identified CG7379, the fly orthologue of human ING1, as a potent invasion suppressor. ING1 is a type II tumour suppressor with well-established role... Read More about CG7379 and ING1 suppress cancer cell invasion by maintaining cell–cell junction integrity.

Integrated Metabolomics and Transcriptomics Using an Optimised Dual Extraction Process to Study Human Brain Cancer Cells and Tissues (2021)
Journal Article
Rahman, R., Woodward, A., Pandele, A., Abdelrazig, S., Ortori, C., Khan, I., …Kim, D.-H. (2021). Integrated Metabolomics and Transcriptomics Using an Optimised Dual Extraction Process to Study Human Brain Cancer Cells and Tissues. Metabolites, 11(4), Article 240. https://doi.org/10.3390/metabo11040240

The integration of untargeted metabolomics and transcriptomics from the same population of cells or tissue enhances the confidence in the identified metabolic pathways and understanding of the enzyme–metabolite relationship. Here, we optimised a simu... Read More about Integrated Metabolomics and Transcriptomics Using an Optimised Dual Extraction Process to Study Human Brain Cancer Cells and Tissues.
