MDM2 expression in the progression of Barrett's oesophagus (2018)
Journal Article
Robinson, L., Ilyas, M., Ragunath, K., Card, T., Abradu-Berchie, B., & Kaye, P. (2018). MDM2 expression in the progression of Barrett's oesophagus. Histopathology, 72(7), 1230-1233. https://doi.org/10.1111/his.13480

Barrett's oesophagus (BO) is the main precursor for oesophageal adenocarcinoma (OAC), and dysplasia arising within it is the standard marker used to predict risk of malignant progression. However, dysplasia diagnosis is subject to a significant amoun... Read More about MDM2 expression in the progression of Barrett's oesophagus.

Cten promotes epithelial-mesenchymal transition through post-transcriptional stabilization of Snail (2017)
Journal Article
Thorpe, H., Asiri, A., Akhlaq, M., & Ilyas, M. (in press). Cten promotes epithelial-mesenchymal transition through post-transcriptional stabilization of Snail. Molecular Carcinogenesis, 56(12), https://doi.org/10.1002/mc.22704

Cten promotes cell migration however the knowledge of underlying signalling pathways is sparse. We have shown that Cten downregulates E-cadherin, a feature of epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT). This prompted us to investigate whether Cten fu...

International Journal of Experimental Pathology, 95(1), https://doi.org/10.1111/iep.12070

Colorectal cancers (CRC) are thought to have genetic instability in the form of either microsatellite instability (MSI) or chromosomal instability (CIN). Recently, tumours have been described without either MSI or CIN, that is, microsatellite and chr...
