Amplification of PVT1 Contributes to the Pathophysiology of Ovarian and Breast Cancer

TL;DR: The results suggest that MYC and PVT1 contribute independently to ovarian and breast pathogenesis when overexpressed because of genomic abnormalities, and suggest that PVT 1-mediated inhibition of apoptosis may explain why amplification of 8q24 is associated with reduced survival duration in patients treated with agents that act through apoptotic mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Translocation and expression of CSF1 in pigmented villonodular synovitis, tenosynovial giant cell tumor, rheumatoid arthritis and other reactive synovitides.

TL;DR: The consistent presence of CSF1 overexpression in all cases of PVNS/TGCT and reactive synovitides suggests both an important role for CSf1 in the spectrum of synovial pathologies and the possibility of targeting the CSF 1/CSF1R interaction therapeutically.
