Journal ArticleDOI
Selective attraction of monocytes and T lymphocytes of the memory phenotype by cytokine RANTES.
TL;DR: The RANTES protein3 of the C-C class causes the selective migration of human blood monocytes and of T lymphocytes expressing the cell surface antigens CD4 and UCHL1, and may provide insight into the workings of T cell memory.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comprehensive genomic analysis of malignant pleural mesothelioma identifies recurrent mutations, gene fusions and splicing alterations

TL;DR: Recurrent gene fusions and splice alterations to be frequent mechanisms for inactivation of NF2, BAP1 and SETD2 are found and alterations in Hippo, mTOR, histone methylation, RNA helicase and p53 signaling pathways in MPMs are identified.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Gene expression analysis identified a five-gene set that enabled the molecular classification of chRCC, renal oncocytoma and pRCC and observed upregulation of the anti-apoptotic factor BIRC7 in MiTF-high RCC tumors, suggesting a potential therapeutic role for BIRC 7 inhibitors.
Journal ArticleDOI
ERK Inhibition Overcomes Acquired Resistance to MEK Inhibitors
Georgia Hatzivassiliou,Bonnie Liu,Carol O'Brien,Jill M. Spoerke,Klaus P. Hoeflich,Peter M. Haverty,Robert Soriano,William F. Forrest,Sherry Heldens,Huifen Chen,Karen Toy,Connie Ha,Wei Zhou,Kyung Song,Lori Friedman,Lukas C. Amler,Garret M. Hampton,John Moffat,Marcia Belvin,Mark R. Lackner +19 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that tumors with acquired MEK inhibitor resistance remain dependent on the MAPK pathway and are therefore sensitive to inhibitors that act downstream of the mutated MEK target, and provide a rationale for cotargeting multiple nodes within theMAPK signaling cascade in K-ras mutant tumors to maximize therapeutic benefit for patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regional Variation in Gene Expression in the Healthy Colon is Dysregulated in Ulcerative Colitis
Colin L. Noble,Alexander R. Abbas,Jennine Cornelius,Charlie W. Lees,Gwo-Tzer Ho,Karen Toy,Zora Modrusan,Navneet Pal,Fiona Zhong,Sreedevi Chalasani,Hilary Clark,Ian D. Arnott,Ian D. Penman,Jack Satsangi,Lauri Diehl +14 more
TL;DR: Key findings are the expression gradient in the healthy adult colon and the involvement of novel gene families, as well as established candidate genes in the pathogenesis of ulcerative colitis.
