NRF2 Activation Confers Resistance to eIF4A Inhibitors in Cancer Therapy

Inhibition of the eIF4A RNA helicase with silvestrol and related compounds is emerging as a powerful anti-cancer strategy. We find that a synthetic silvestrol analogue (CR-1-31 B) has nanomolar activity across many cancer cell lines. It is especially activ ...

Genetic variation near CXCL12 is associated with susceptibility to HIV-related non-Hodgkin lymphoma

Jacques Fellay, Christian Hammer, Christian Axel Wandall Thorball

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is associated with an increased risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Even in the era of suppressive antiretroviral treatment, HIV-infected individuals remain at higher risk of developing NHL compared to the gener ...

Coordination between cell growth, division and chromosome replication cycles in mycobacteria

Gaëlle Madeleine Vuaridel

Propagation of microorganisms is based on three fundamental processes: cell growth, DNA replication, and cell division. Although important for antibacterial drug development, these processes are poorly understood in Actinobacteria, a medically important ph ...

Intraductal xenografts model estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer dormancy and reveal a critical role for epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in its establishment

Patrik Aouad

Compared to estrogen receptor-negative (ER-) breast cancer (BC), ER+ BC often manifests with a latent disease that recurs decades after initial diagnosis. The mechanisms governing dormancy and distant recurrence of ER+ tumors remain elusive due to the lack ...

Pulchelloid A, a sesquiterpene lactone from the Canadian prairie plant Gaillardia aristata inhibits mitosis in human cells

Tatiana Favez, Pierre Gönczy, Georgios Hatzopoulos

Background The Canadian prairie ecosystem presents a rich source of natural products from plants that are subjected to herbivory by grazing mammals. This type of ecological competition may contribute to the production of natural products of interest in cel ...

Developing new tools to study and program cell fate at the single-cell level

Marjan Biocanin

Single-cell transcriptomics (scRNA-seq) started a technological revolution in biology by enabling through the plethora of methods to assess a molecular state of the cell on systems level without the strict necessity of the prior knowledge of the cell state ...

Notch signaling promotes disease initiation and progression in murine chronic lymphocytic leukemia

Freddy Radtke, Jessica Sordet, Ute Koch, Nadine Fournier, Marianne Nkosi, Delphine Maude Tardivon, Mateusz Waldemar Antoszewski

NOTCH1 gain-of-function mutations are recurrent in B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL), where they are associated with accelerated disease progression and refractoriness to chemotherapy. The specific role of NOTCH1 in the development and progressio ...

Genomic Instability Profiles at the Single Cell Level in Mouse Colorectal Cancers of Defined Genotypes

Jörg Hülsken, Paloma Ordonez Moran, Maxim Norkin

The genomes of many human CRCs have been sequenced, revealing a large number of genetic alterations. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the accumulation of these alterations are still being debated. In this study, we examined colorectal tumours t ...

Cathepsin S Regulates Antigen Processing and T Cell Activity in Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

Julien Racle, Jessica Sordet, Marco Mina, George Coukos, Bruno Emanuel Ferreira De Sousa Correia, Elisa Oricchio, Natalya Katanayeva, Elena Battistello, Stephanie Jocelyne Sungalee, Elie Charles Eugène Dheilly, Sarah Wehrle, Giovanni Ciriello

Genomic alterations in cancer cells can influence the immune system to favor tumor growth. In non-Hodgkin lymphoma, physiological interactions between B cells and the germinal center microenvironment are coopted to sustain cancer cell proliferation. We fou ...

Notch Signaling - a Booster of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia During Initiation and Disease Progression

Delphine Maude Tardivon

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a B cell malignancy and represents the most common leukemia in adults within the Western world. This disease mainly affects the elderly, with a median age of diagnosis over 70. The disease course is highly variable amo ...

Long noncoding RNA SNHG12 integrates a DNA-PK-mediated DNA damage response and vascular senescence

Johan Auwerx, Norman Lionel Moullan, Lei Chen

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are emerging regulators of biological processes in the vessel wall; however, their role in atherosclerosis remains poorly defined. We used RNA sequencing to profile lncRNAs derived specifically from the aortic intima of Ldlr(- ...
