?2-adrenoceptor signaling regulates invadopodia formation to enhance tumor cell invasion (2015)
Journal Article
Creed, S. J., Le, C. P., Hassan, M., Pon, C. K., Albold, S., Chan, K. T., …Sloan, E. K. (2015). β2-adrenoceptor signaling regulates invadopodia formation to enhance tumor cell invasion. Breast Cancer Research, 17(1), Article 145. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13058-015-0655-3

INTRODUCTION:For efficient metastatic dissemination, tumor cells form invadopodia to degrade and move through three-dimensional extracellular matrix. However, little is known about the conditions that favor invadopodia formation. Here, we investigate...

The ?2-adrenoceptor activates a positive cAMP-calcium feedforward loop to drive breast cancer cell invasion (2015)
Journal Article
Pon, C. K., Lane, J. R., Sloan, E. K., & Halls, M. L. (2016). The ?2-adrenoceptor activates a positive cAMP-calcium feedforward loop to drive breast cancer cell invasion. FASEB Journal, 30(3), 1144-1154. https://doi.org/10.1096/fj.15-277798

Activation of the sympathetic nervous system by stress increases breast cancer metastasis in vivo. Preclinical studies suggest that stress activates β-adrenoceptors (βARs) to enhance metastasis from primary tumors and that β-blockers may be protectiv...

Discovery of a Novel Class of Negative Allosteric Modulator of the Dopamine D2 Receptor Through Fragmentation of a Bitopic Ligand (2015)
Journal Article
Mistry, S. N., Shonberg, J., Draper-Joyce, C. J., Klein Herenbrink, C., Michino, M., Shi, L., …Lane, J. R. (2015). Discovery of a Novel Class of Negative Allosteric Modulator of the Dopamine D2 Receptor Through Fragmentation of a Bitopic Ligand. Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 58(17), 6819-6843. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.jmedchem.5b00585

We recently demonstrated that SB269652 (1) engages one protomer of a dopamine D2 receptor (D2R) dimer in a bitopic mode to allosterically inhibit the binding of dopamine at the other protomer. Herein, we investigate structural deter- minants for allo...
