Somatic mutations affect key pathways in lung adenocarcinoma

Li Ding, +96 more
- 23 Oct 2008 - 
TL;DR: Somatic mutations in primary lung adenocarcinoma for several tumour suppressor genes involved in other cancers and for sequence changes in PTPRD as well as the frequently deleted gene LRP1B are found.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pancreatic cancers require autophagy for tumor growth

TL;DR: Inhibition of autophagy by genetic means or chloroquine treatment leads to robust tumor regression and prolonged survival in pancreatic cancer xenografts and genetic mouse models, and drugs that inactivate this process may have a unique clinical utility in treating pancreatic cancers and other malignancies with a similar dependence on Autophagy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Understanding multiple myeloma pathogenesis in the bone marrow to identify new therapeutic targets

TL;DR: Recent oncogenomic studies have further advanced the understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of multiple myeloma, providing the framework for new prognostic classification and identifying new therapeutic targets.
Journal ArticleDOI

Somatic mutations of the histone H3K27 demethylase gene UTX in human cancer

TL;DR: UTX reintroduction into cancer cells with inactivating UTX mutations resulted in slowing of proliferation and marked transcriptional changes, identifying UTX as a new human cancer gene.
