ABCB1 inhibition provides a novel therapeutic target to block TWIST1-induced migration in medulloblastoma (2021)
Journal Article
Nasir, A., Cardall, A., Othman, R. T., Nicolaou, N., Lourdusamy, A., Linke, F., …Coyle, B. (2021). ABCB1 inhibition provides a novel therapeutic target to block TWIST1-induced migration in medulloblastoma. Neuro-Oncology Advances, 3(1), https://doi.org/10.1093/noajnl/vdab030

Background: Therapeutic intervention in metastatic medulloblastoma is dependent upon elucidating the underlying metastatic mechanism. We investigated whether an epithelialmesenchymal transition (EMT)-like pathway could drive medulloblastoma metastasi...

Increased IL-2 and reduced tgf-? upon t-cell stimulation are associated with GM-CSF upregulation in multiple immune cell types in multiple sclerosis (2020)
Journal Article
Aram, J., Frakich, N., Morandi, E., Alrouji, M., Samaraweera, A., Onion, D., …Constantinescu, C. S. (2020). Increased IL-2 and reduced tgf-β upon t-cell stimulation are associated with GM-CSF upregulation in multiple immune cell types in multiple sclerosis. Biomedicines, 8(7), https://doi.org/10.3390/BIOMEDICINES8070226

© 2020 by the authors. Granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine produced by immune cells. Recent evidence suggests that GM-CSF plays an important role in multiple sclerosis (MS) pathogenesis. We investi...

Metabolism based isolation of invasive glioblastoma cells with specific gene signatures and tumorigenic potential (2020)
Journal Article
Smith, S. J., Rowlinson, J., Estevez-Cebrero, M., Onion, D., Ritchie, A., Clarke, P., …Rahman, R. (2020). Metabolism based isolation of invasive glioblastoma cells with specific gene signatures and tumorigenic potential. Neuro-Oncology Advances, 2(1), Article vdaa087. https://doi.org/10.1093/noajnl/vdaa087

Background Glioblastoma (GBM) is a highly aggressive brain tumor with rapid subclonal diversification, harboring molecular abnormalities that vary temporo-spatially, a contributor to therapy resistance. Fluorescence guided neurosurgical resection ut... Read More about Metabolism based isolation of invasive glioblastoma cells with specific gene signatures and tumorigenic potential.

Multicomponent analysis of the tumour microenvironment reveals low CD8 T cell number, low stromal caveolin-1 and high tenascin-C and their combination as significant prognostic markers in non-small cell lung cancer (2017)
Journal Article
Onion, D., Isherwood, M., Shridhar, N., Xenophontos, M., Craze, M. L., Day, L. J., …Grabowska, A. M. (2018). Multicomponent analysis of the tumour microenvironment reveals low CD8 T cell number, low stromal caveolin-1 and high tenascin-C and their combination as significant prognostic markers in non-small cell lung cancer. Oncotarget, 9(2), 1760-1771. https://doi.org/10.18632/oncotarget.18880

The complex interplay of the tumour microenvironment (TME) and its role in disease progression and response to therapy is poorly understood. The majority of studies to date focus on individual components or molecules within the TME and so lack the po...

3-dimensional patient-derived lung cancer assays reveal resistance to standards-of-care promoted by stromal cells but sensitivity to histone deacetylase inhibitors (2016)
Journal Article
Onion, D., Argent, R. H., Reece-Smith, A. M., Craze, M. L., Pineda, R. G., Clarke, P. A., …Grabowska, A. M. (2016). 3-dimensional patient-derived lung cancer assays reveal resistance to standards-of-care promoted by stromal cells but sensitivity to histone deacetylase inhibitors. Molecular Cancer Therapeutics, 15(4), https://doi.org/10.1158/1535-7163.MCT-15-0598

There is a growing recognition that current preclinical models do not reflect the tumor microenvironment in cellular, biological, and biophysical content and this may have a profound effect on drug efficacy testing, especially in the era of molecular...
