Inhibition of UBE2L6 attenuates ISGylation and impedes ATRA?induced differentiation of leukemic cells (2019)
Journal Article
Orfali, N., Shan‐Krauer, D., O'Donovan, T. R., Mongan, N. P., Gudas, L. J., Cahill, M. R., …McKenna, S. L. (2020). Inhibition of UBE2L6 attenuates ISGylation and impedes ATRA‐induced differentiation of leukemic cells. Molecular Oncology, 14(6), 1297-1309. https://doi.org/10.1002/1878-0261.12614

Ubiquitin/ISG15‐conjugating enzyme E2L6 (UBE2L6) is a critical enzyme in ISGylation, a post‐translational protein modification that conjugates the ubiquitin‐like modifier, interferon‐stimulated gene 15 (ISG15), to target substrates. Previous gene exp... Read More about Inhibition of UBE2L6 attenuates ISGylation and impedes ATRA?induced differentiation of leukemic cells.

All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA)-induced TFEB expression is required for myeloid differentiation in acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) (2019)
Journal Article
Orfali, N., O'Donovan, T. R., Cahill, M. R., Benjamin, D., Nanus, D. M., McKenna, S. L., …Mongan, N. P. (2020). All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA)-induced TFEB expression is required for myeloid differentiation in acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). European Journal of Haematology, 104(3), 236-250. https://doi.org/10.1111/ejh.13367

Objective In acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), normal retinoid signaling is disrupted by an abnormal PML-RARα fusion oncoprotein, leading to a block in cell differentiation. Therapeutic concentrations of all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA) can restore...

The prognostic significance of wild type isocitrate dehydrogenase 2 (IDH2) in breast cancer (2019)
Journal Article
Aljohani, A. I., Toss, M. S., Kurozumi, S., Joseph, C., Aleskandarany, M. A., Miligy, I. M., …Rakha, E. (2020). The prognostic significance of wild type isocitrate dehydrogenase 2 (IDH2) in breast cancer. Breast Cancer Research and Treatment, 179(1), 79–90. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10549-019-05459-7

Background: Lymphovascular invasion (LVI) is a prerequisite step in breast cancer (BC) metastasis. We have previously identified wild type isocitrate dehydrogenase 2 (IDH2) as a key putative driver of LVI. Thus, we explored the prognostic significanc...

Lentiviral-Mediated shRNA Approaches: Applications in Cellular Differentiation and Autophagy (2019)
Book Chapter
Orfali, N., Jeyapalan, J. N., Woodcock, C. L., O’Donovan, T. R., Benjamin, D., Cahill, M., …Mongan, N. P. (2019). Lentiviral-Mediated shRNA Approaches: Applications in Cellular Differentiation and Autophagy. In Retinoid and Rexinoid Signaling (33-49). New York: Humana Press. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4939-9585-1_3

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is characterized by the accumulation of immature white blood cell precursors in the bone marrow and peripheral circulation. In essence, leukemic cells fail to differentiate and are stalled at a particular step of hematopo...

A Fibromyxoid Stromal Response is Associated with Muscle Invasion in Canine Urothelial Carcinoma (2019)
Journal Article
de Brot, S., Grau-Roma, L., Stirling-Stainsby, C., Dettwiler, M., Guscetti, F., Meier, D., …Mongan, N. (2019). A Fibromyxoid Stromal Response is Associated with Muscle Invasion in Canine Urothelial Carcinoma. Journal of Comparative Pathology, 169, 35-46. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcpa.2019.04.003

Canine urothelial carcinoma (UC) is the most common type of cancer of the lower urinary tract and tends to affect elderly neutered female dogs, with a high predisposition for Scottish terriers. Tumour stroma, inflammation and necrosis are poorly char... Read More about A Fibromyxoid Stromal Response is Associated with Muscle Invasion in Canine Urothelial Carcinoma.

Metadherin: A Therapeutic Target in Multiple Cancers (2019)
Journal Article
Dhiman, G., Srivastava, N., Goyal, M., Rakha, E., Lothion-Roy, J., Mongan, N. P., …Baranwal, M. (2019). Metadherin: A Therapeutic Target in Multiple Cancers. Frontiers in Oncology, 9, Article 349. https://doi.org/10.3389/fonc.2019.00349

Altered expression of many genes and proteins is essential for cancer development and progression. Recently, the affected expression of metadherin (MTDH), also known as AEG-1 (Astrocyte Elevated Gene 1) and Lyric, has been implicated in various aspec...
