Journal ArticleDOI

Systematic identification of genomic markers of drug sensitivity in cancer cells

TL;DR: It was found that mutated cancer genes were associated with cellular response to most currently available cancer drugs, and systematic pharmacogenomic profiling in cancer cell lines provides a powerful biomarker discovery platform to guide rational cancer therapeutic strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI

hnRNP K binds a core polypyrimidine element in the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) promoter, and its regulation of eIF4E contributes to neoplastic transformation.

TL;DR: HnRNP K increased translation initiation, increased cell division, and promoted neoplastic transformation in an eIF4E-dependent manner, explaining how the 4EBE might replace TATA in the eif4E promoter.
Journal ArticleDOI

MHC class II transactivator CIITA induces cell resistance to Ebola virus and SARS-like coronaviruses.

TL;DR: The authors found that a transcription factor, major histocompatibility complex class II transactivator (CIITA) induces resistance in human cell lines by directing the expression of the p41 isoform of invariant chain (CD74), which inhibits viral entry by blocking cathepsin-mediated processing of the Ebola glycoprotein.
Journal ArticleDOI

Potential Unreliability of Uncommon ALK, ROS1, and RET Genomic Breakpoints in Predicting the Efficacy of Targeted Therapy in NSCLC.

TL;DR: Uncommon ALK/ROS1/RET genomic breakpoint is an unreliable predictor of matched targeted therapy efficacy and functional validation by RNA or protein assay may add value for accurate detection and interpretation of rare fusions.
