Journal Article
Alshareeda, A., Negm, O. H., Aleskandarany, M. A., Green, A. R., Nolan, C., Tighe, P. J., Madhusudan, S., Ellis, I. O., & Rakha, E. (2016). Clinical and biological significance of RAD51 expression in breast cancer: a key DNA damage response protein. Breast Cancer Research and Treatment, 159(1), 41-53. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10549-016-3915-8

Impaired DNA damage response (DDR) may play a fundamental role in the pathogenesis of breast cancer (BC). RAD51 is a key player in DNA double-strand break repair. In this study, we aimed to assess the biological and clinical significance of RAD51 exp...

KPNA2 is a nuclear export protein that contributes to aberrant localisation of key proteins and poor prognosis of breast cancer (2015)
Journal Article
Alshareeda, A., Negm, O., Green, A., Nolan, C., Tighe, P., Albarakati, N., Sultana, R., Madhusudan, S., Ellis, I., & Rakha, E. (2015). KPNA2 is a nuclear export protein that contributes to aberrant localisation of key proteins and poor prognosis of breast cancer. British Journal of Cancer, 112(12), 1929–1937. https://doi.org/10.1038/bjc.2015.165

Background: It is recognised that modulations of the nuclear import of macromolecules have a role in changing cellular phenotypes and carcinogenesis. We and others have noticed that aberrant subcellular localisation of DNA damage response (DDR) prote...

Clinical and biological significance of glucocorticoid receptor (GR) expression in breast cancer (2015)
Journal Article
Abduljabbar, R., Negm, O. H., Lai, C.-F., Jerjees, D. A., Al-Kaabi, M., Hamed, M. R., …Ellis, I. O. (2015). Clinical and biological significance of glucocorticoid receptor (GR) expression in breast cancer. Breast Cancer Research and Treatment, 150(2), 335-346. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10549-015-3335-1

The glucocorticoid receptor (GR) is a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily of transcription factors, which exerts anti-proliferative and anti-apoptotic activities. The GR is expressed in a large proportion of breast cancer (BC) although levels... Read More about Clinical and biological significance of glucocorticoid receptor (GR) expression in breast cancer.
