The chemotherapy resistance of esophageal adenocarcinomas (EACs) is underpinned by cancer cell extrinsic mechanisms of the tumor microenvironment (TME). We demonstrate that, by targeting the tumor-promoting functions of the predominant TME cell type,...

Targeting hypoxia regulated sodium driven bicarbonate transporters reduces triple negative breast cancer metastasis (2022)
Journal Article
Harris, A. L., Clarke, P. A., Carroll, C. P., Bolland, H., Vancauwenberghe, E., Collier, P., …McIntyre, A. (2022). Targeting hypoxia regulated sodium driven bicarbonate transporters reduces triple negative breast cancer metastasis. Neoplasia, 25, 41-52. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neo.2022.01.003

Regions of low oxygen (hypoxia) are found in >50% of breast tumours, most frequently in the more aggressive triple negative breast cancer subtype (TNBC). Metastasis is the cause of 90% of breast cancer patient deaths. Regions of tumour hypoxia tend t...

Mutational signatures in esophageal adenocarcinoma define etiologically distinct subgroups with therapeutic relevance (2016)
Journal Article
Secrier, M., Li, X., de Silva, N., Eldridge, M. D., Contino, G., Bornschein, J., …Grimmond, S. M. (2016). Mutational signatures in esophageal adenocarcinoma define etiologically distinct subgroups with therapeutic relevance. Nature Genetics, 48(10), https://doi.org/10.1038/ng.3659

Esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) has a poor outcome, and targeted therapy trials have thus far been disappointing owing to a lack of robust stratification methods. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) analysis of 129 cases demonstrated that this is a heterog...
